Chronic endometritis (CE) is a subtle but persistent inflammatory disorder of the endometrium that is often underdiagnosed due to its asymptomatic or non-specific presentation. The etiology of CE primarily involves microbial infections and …
Adenomyosis is a chronic gynecological condition commonly affecting women of reproductive age, with its etiology still unclear. In clinical practice, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a), often combined with other drugs, are use…
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles of nanoscale, which represent the characteristics of the cells of origin. Tumor cell-derived exosomes (TEXs) obtain the characteristics of the tumor cells, which meanwhile transfer the various substances …
Background: The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) has emerged as a promising biomarker for assessing stress-induced hyperglycemia (SH) but has not been evaluated in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). This study investigates the role of t…
BACKGROUND: Ferroptosis is a newly characterized iron-dependent form of regulated cell death. In adenomyosis (AM), ectopic endometrial lesions exhibit resistance to ferroptosis, which contributes to disease progression and recurrence. Tongm…
A healthy endometrium is crucial for embryo implantation and pregnancy maintenance. Thin endometrium, reduced glands and fibrosis resulting from infection or mechanical injury, are the primary causes of long-term infertility and poor pregna…
The rapid accumulation of biomedical cohort data presents opportunities to explore disease mechanisms, risk factors, and prognostic markers. However, current research often has a narrow focus, limiting the exploration of risk factors and in…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is characterized by ectopic endometrial tissue, which causes dysmenorrhea, menstruation, and infertility, significantly impairing quality of life. Current treatments-including medications, surgery, and interventional…
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is identified as a severe chronic immune-related disorder in pancreas, including two subtypes. In this study, pancreatic lesions in patients diagnosed as either type 1 AIP or type 2 AIP are examined, and these …
BACKGROUND: Fertility status is a marker of future health, and female infertility has been shown to be an important medical and social problem. Life's Essential 8 ("LE8") is a comprehensive cardiovascular health assessment proposed by the A…
Background/Objectives: Aromatase plays a crucial role in the conversion of androgens to oestrogens and is often overexpressed in hormone-dependent tumours, particularly breast cancer. [18F]BIBD-071, which has excellent binding affinity for …
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to explore the current research status and development trend of chronic pain treated with external therapies in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and to provide a reference for further research in this field. METHODS: …
Central adiposity, measured by waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), is a modifiable risk factor for female infertility, yet its causal role remain underexplored. Combining observational data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (N = 1…
RATIONALE: Well-differentiated papillary mesothelial tumor (WDPMT) is an uncommon, slow-growing neoplasm that is often an incidental finding in the peritoneum of women of reproductive age. It can be misdiagnosed as malignant mesothelioma on…
Advanced maternal age (AMA, ≥35 years) women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) face reduced live birth rates (LBR) and remain a major clinical challenge. In a large randomized trial, Zishen Yutai Pill (ZYP) improved LBR in t…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to enhance the precision of categorization of endometrial lesions in ultrasound images via a data enhancement framework based on deep learning (DL), through addressing diagnostic accuracy challenges, con…

Abstract Objective To explore factors related to dysmenorrhea in adenomyosis and construct a risk prediction model. Methods A cross-sectional survey involving 1636 adenomyosis patients from 37 hospitals nationwide (November 2019 - Februa…
BACKGROUND: Primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) is often related to adverse neonatal outcomes. But it's currently controversial whether pSS has an adverse effect on female fertility and clinical pregnancy condition. More importantly, it's unclea…
Myocardial infarction (MI) results in cardiomyocyte necrosis and conductive system damage, leading to sudden cardiac death and heart failure. Studies have shown that conductive biomaterials can restore cardiac conduction, but cannot facilit…
BACKGROUND: To train highly qualified medical talent in 5-year programs and improve students' analytical and problem-solving abilities, it is necessary to change the traditional teaching method. This study introduces the combined teaching m…
