Endometriosis, affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women worldwide, is widely recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease. Inflammation-related genes (IRGs) play a crucial role in the occurrence and progression of various dise…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the biological function of miR-1229-3p in the occurrence and development of cervical cancer (CC). METHODS: The expression levels of miR-1229-3p and FBXL5 in CC tissues and cell lines were detected by R…

Heart failure (HF) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Here, we aimed to screen potent regulators in HF progression to assist clinicians in the early diagnosis and management of HF patients. The data were downloaded …

Abstract Endometriosis, affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women worldwide, is a typical chronic inflammatory disease. Inflammation-related genes (IRGs) play a crucial role in the occurrence and progression of various disease…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological condition associated with chronic pelvic pain, menorrhagia, and infertility. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has gained attention as a noninvasive treatment modality. However, monot…

BACKGROUND: To overcome the challenge of psychotherapist scarcity in applying pain psychotherapy in clinical practice, we developed a virtual reality (VR) program delivering weeks of pain psychotherapy without psychotherapists, with a focus…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the current treatment status and management deficiencies of adenomyosis in Luzhou, China. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A small-scale observational cross-sectional study of patients whose imaging suggests adenomyosis from J…

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a frequently occurring gynecological disorder mainly caused by the inflammation of a woman's upper genital tract. Generally, antibiotics are used for treating PID, but pro…

INTRODUCTION: The use of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) has dramatically increased in patients with non-male factor infertility during the last decades. However, whether ICSI provides a significant benefit over in vitro fertilizati…

BACKGROUND: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains an unmet medical challenge due to its insidious onset, atypical symptoms, and increasing resistance to conventional chemotherapeutic agents. It is imperative to explore novel biomarkers an…

PURPOSE: Since the unexplained in vitro fertilization failure occurs frequently, it is of great importance and clinical value to identify potential underlying predictors. This study aimed to explore whether the percentage of sperm with a sm…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the therapeutic effect of acupuncture combined with mifepristone on uterine fibroids and its influence on sex hormones and inflammatory factors. METHODS: Data of 102 patients with uterine fibroids admitted to Shanxi P…

UNLABELLED: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinopathy causing infertility in childbearing women. Progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol has recently been used for infertile women. However, whether PPOS provid…

OBJECTIVES: Since patients with borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) are relatively young with good survival rates, conservative surgery is prioritized as a therapeutic intervention. However, the high recurrence rate of this tumor remains an is…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a disturbing condition affecting about 10% of all reproductive aged women. The most severe form of endometriosis is deeply infiltrative endometriosis (DIE). Bowel is commonly affected in DIE. Treatment options o…

Abstract Background: About 10% reproductive aged women are affected by endometriosis. Deep infiltrative endometriosis (DIE) is the most severe form of endometriosis which has a high risk of recurrence. Bowel is the most common extragenital…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) instead of contrast-enhanced (CE) imaging for evaluation of the immediate therapeutic efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of Chinese patients with ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (EC) and clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and to assess the impact of concurrent endometriosis on this group. METHODS: T…

BACKGROUND: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) and bleeding are serious and potentially fatal complications of surgical procedures. Pharmacological thromboprophylaxis decreases the risk of VTE but increases the risk of major post-operative bleedi…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the use and clinical efficacy of three different follicle-stimulating hormones (FSHs) for follicle growth and development in long-protocol controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH). METHODS: A total of 540 gonadotropi…

Insufficient endometrial angiogenesis during peri-implantation impairs endometrial receptivity (ER), which contributes to recurrent implantation failure (RIF) during in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Angiopoietin-like pro…

Abstract Objective This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of Chinese patients with ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (EC) and clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and to assess the impact of concurrent endometriosis on this group. Met…

BACKGROUND: To investigate the association between serum carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and the presence as well as severity of diabetes retinopathy (DR) in Chinese adult patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: A hospital-based cross-sec…

Oocyte maturation is a prerequisite for successful fertilization and embryo development. Incomplete oocyte maturation can result in infertility. Ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) has been found to be implicated in oocyte matu…
