Endometrial immune disorders create an inhospitable endometrial environment for embryonic nidation in endometriosis. CD8 + tissue resident memory T cells (CD8 +TRM) are abundant tissue resident immune cells in endometrium, but the effect of…
PurposePreoperative diagnosis of uterine leiomyosarcoma (ULMS) can be difficult due to its ability to mimic benign leiomyomas (LM). The current study aimed to investigate the influence of preoperative clinical characteristics and hematologi…
IntroductionAbdominal ectopic pregnancies(APs) is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy, most commonly implanting in the rectouterine pouch. The treatment methods include surgical treatment and drug therapy. In the surgical treatment of ectopic …
BackgroundCesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is an uncommon and potentially life-threatening form of ectopic pregnancy characterized by embryo implantation within the scar tissue of a prior cesarean delivery.ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to …
BACKGROUND: Spironolactone, eplerenone, and finerenone are three commonly used mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) with cardioprotective and renoprotective effects. However, comparative real-world safety evaluations remain limited…
ObjectiveTo identify risk factors influencing clinical pregnancy outcomes in infertile men undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (lCSl) and to establish and validate a nomogram prediction model.MethodsA total of 1,037 infertile men wh…
Background/objectivesCesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a rare but increasingly prevalent form of ectopic pregnancy, often associated with severe postoperative complications. Current research lacks robust tools to predict these complications.…
BackgroundLeiomyomas or fibroids commonly originate from the uterus; extrauterine leiomyomas are rare and most often arise from the broad ligament. Diagnosing broad ligament leiomyomas becomes particularly challenging when they undergo dege…
Natural killer (NK) cells are critical regulators of immune processes during early pregnancy, playing a key role in maintaining maternal-foetal immune tolerance and supporting successful implantation. In particular, uterine NK cells, a spec…
Abstract Background Endometriosis (EMs) often leads to ovarian dysfunction and infertility. Its mechanism is closely associated with oxidative stress and ferroptosis induced by pelvic iron overload. Electroacupuncture (EA) has potential i…
BackgroundAcute pancreatitis (AP) is a complex condition requiring immediate treatment. Both extracellular vesicles derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSC-EVs) and emodin, a naturally occurring anthraquinone used …
Study questionIs there an association between changes in endometrial thickness (EMT) following progesterone administration and pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfers (FETs) at Day 3 (D3) and blastocyst stages?Summary answerEnd…
BackgroundThe echo pattern constitutes an ultrasonic index that reflects the characteristics of the endometrium across various phases of the menstrual cycle. However, consensus of endometrial echo pattern and pregnancy outcomes is lacking i…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a prevalent, estrogen-dependent, inflammatory disease that impairs fertility via hormonal dysregulation, immune dysfunction, oxidative stress/ferroptosis, genetic and epigenetic alterations, and microbiome imb…
BackgroundEndoscopic gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy (EGPC) has become an alternative option for treating cholecystolithiasis. However, developing a new method of EGPC in which the gallbladder wall is not damaged remains a challe…
Euodiae Fructus (EF) is the dried and nearly ripe fruit of Euodia rutaecarpa, first recorded in Shen Nong's Herbal Classic. EF is a versatile Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) known for the effects of dispelling colds and alleviating pain,…
BackgroundAccessory cavitated uterine malformations (ACUMs) are a rare obstructive uterine anomaly that remains poorly understood, posing challenges for clinical management. The aetiopathogenesis is hypothesised to involve the duplication a…
Hu sheep are renowned for their adaptation to high-temperature, humid environments and their high fecundity. Despite serving as the founder species for sheep breeding in China, the genetic mechanisms underlying these desirable traits and th…
Background: Endometriosis (EM) is a prevalent and complex disease affecting women of reproductive age, with significant individual and societal burdens. Despite extensive research, the underlying etiology of EM remains poorly understood. Pr…
BackgroundZona pellucida (ZP) plays an important role in oocyte development and fertilisation, as well as in early embryo development. However, there is currently no exploration of systematic categorising and clinical treatment measures for…
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an antimalarial drug that has historically been used to treat and prevent malaria. However, its mechanism of action has not yet been fully elucidated. HCQ affects various cellular and molecular pathways through d…
AimTo investigate the risk factors associated with postpartum urinary retention after cesarean section (CS) and to determine the associated morbidity rate.MethodsThis study was a population-based retrospective case-control study analyzed us…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis, a chronic oestrogen-dependent disorder, presents significant clinical challenges including pelvic pain, dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia and infertility. While numerous interventions exist, evidence guiding the choice…
Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) and retinopathy are 2 distinct yet interconnected areas of research in the field of ocular studies. MALAT1, with its diverse biological functions, h…
