The TSC complex, formed by the binding of TSC2 with TSC1 and TBC1D7, plays an important role in the onset of endometrial-related diseases through the TSC-mTORC1 axis. However, the relationship between these proteins and adenomyosis has not …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) compared with hysteroscopic niche resection (HNR) for women with niche-related postmenstrual spotting. DESIGN: Economic evaluation from a hea…

Goserelin is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist with a long history of clinical application and well-established efficacy and safety profile. Its mechanism of action centers on sustained GnRH receptor desensitization, leading t…

This study aims to explore the application value of stromal cell-derived factor (CXCL12), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) in the diagnosis, staging, and clinical manifestations of endometriosis…

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent gynecologic disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Zinc finger protein 143 (ZNF143) is a DNA-binding transcription factor, yet its role in endome…

BACKGROUND: Impaired decidualization is a major cause of infertility in patients with adenomyosis (AM). However, the effect of transcription factor 21 (TCF21) on AM and the underlying mechanism of associated-impaired decidualization remain …

OBJECTIVE: To report a rare case of a patient with unicornuate uterus, whose rudimentary horn has finally developed into diffuse adenomyosis foci, and to demonstrate a fertility-preserved approach for the treatment of such a condition. DES…

BACKGROUND: The atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to overlapping features with other conditions like Preeclampsia/HELLP syndrome and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Pregn…

BACKGROUND: Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) can relieve dysmenorrhea, but utilization is low in Chinese women. This systematic literature review was conducted to summarize the design of clinical studies and the effectiveness and safety …

BACKGROUND: Deep infiltrating endometriosis is a subtype of endometriosis. A case of retroperitoneal endometriosis surrounding the ureter and forming a pelvic mass is relatively rare. CASE PRESENTATION: A 26-year-old woman was admitted to …

Endometriosis, a gynecological disorder marked by pelvic pain and infertility, has its pathogenesis and pathophysiology significantly influenced by epigenetics, as these factors have been well characterized. However, the role of RNA-mediate…

Exposure to individual phthalates disrupts ovarian function; however, the direct effects of phthalate mixture exposure on ovulation is unknown, especially in women. Human granulosa cells were used to test the hypothesis that exposure to a p…

Abstract Background Patients with adenomyosis are thought to exist in a hypercoagulable state; however, the specific alterations in thromboelastography (TEG) remain to be elucidated. This study aimed to assess changes in TEG metrics and t…

Indocyanine green (ICG), as the sole near-infrared dye FDA-approved, is limited in biomedical applications because of its poor photostability, lack of targeting, and rapid removal in vivo. Herein, we presented a nanoformulation of poly-l-ly…

In recent years, perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), a family of fluorinated organic com pounds, have garnered much attention due to their reproductive and developmental toxicity in humans. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent end…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, a prevalent chronic condition, afflicts approximately 10% of women in their reproductive years. Emerging evidence implicates immune cells in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, particularly in angiogenesis, tissue …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is acknowledged as a risk factor for the development of endometrial cancer (EC), although the precise molecular mechanisms that underpin this association have yet to be fully elucidated. The primary objective…

AIMS: Endometriosis is characterized by an abnormal immune microenvironment. Despite the extensive use of immune therapies, the application of immune checkpoint inhibitors in endometriosis lacks confidence due to the instability of preclini…

BACKGROUD: Laparoscopic adenomyomectomy combined with intraoperative placement of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUS) is a novel conservative surgical procedure for adenomyosis. Our study aimed to compare the efficacy of …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of barbed and conventional sutures on reproductive outcomes and ovarian reserve after laparoscopic treatment for benign non-endometrioma ovarian cysts. METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted a…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMT) is a benign and common estrogen-dependent disease. Hormonal therapy improves pain symptoms in most women with EMT. However, in many cases, laparoscopic fertility preservation surgery is considered a common tr…

Endometriosis (EM) is a prevalent and debilitating gynecological disorder primarily affecting women of reproductive age. The diagnosis of EM is historically hampered by delays, owing to the absence of reliable diagnostic and monitoring tech…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To identify the clinical risk factors for symptomatic recurrence of adenomyosis after laparoscopic adenomyomectomy with a three-year follow-up. DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: University-affiliated hospital. PATIEN…
