OBJECTIVE: To study whether transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) affected the uterine peristalsis (UP) patterns in nonpregnant participants. DESIGN: Institutional review board-approved, prospective observational cohort study. The noninvasive UP …
PURPOSE: With urbanization and industrialization process accelerated, humans are exposed more and more trace elements. This study aimed to explore the potential associations of trace elements with the outcomes of in vitro fertilization embr…
Gene expression networks associated with placebo effects are understudied; in this study, we identified transcriptomic profiles associated with placebo responsivity. Participants suffering from chronic pain underwent a verbal suggestion and…
Endometriosis (EM), characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissues and recurrent pelvic pain, is a common disease with severe negative impacts on the life quality of patients. Conventional uterine tissue transplantation-based models…
Follicle development refers to the process in which the follicles in the ovary gradually develop from the primary stage to a mature state, and most primary follicles fail to develop normally, without forming a dense granular cell layer and …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a prevalent gynecological disorder characterized by the growth of uterine tissue outside the uterine cavity, causing debilitating symptoms and infertility. Despite its prevalence, the exact mechanisms behind EMs devel…
We present a rare case of a female pelvic solitary fibrous tumor unsuccessfully resected using single-port laparoscopy, requiring conversion to laparotomy. Although the resection was successful, the surgical approach could have been improve…
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To describe MRI characteristics of ureteral endometriosis (UE) in identifying intrinsic involvement of the ureteric wall and predicting complex procedures. METHODS: Thirty-three UE lesions in 30 patients treated f…
PURPOSE: Infertility is affecting more and more couples of appropriate age. Hysteroscopy (HSC) has certain effects on the uncompleted pregnancy and live birth caused by uterine microenvironment. Based on the evidence, this paper systematica…
PURPOSE: Endometrial cancer arising in adenomyosis (EC-AIA) is frequently detected accidentally following a general hysterectomy for adenomyosis. Whether supplemental lymphadenectomy in patients with EC-AIA can improve the survival outcome …
STUDY QUESTION: To construct prediction models based on the Bayesian network (BN) learning method for the probability of fertilization failure (including low fertilization rate [LRF] and total fertilization failure [TFF]) in assisted reprod…
PURPOSE: Urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome has attracted a lot of attention in the new century, and an increasing number of relevant studies have been published. Therefore, we performed a bibliometric analysis of these publications, hop…
BACKGROUND: In the past, the primary treatment for MRKH syndrome (Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome) with a functional primordial uterus was surgical removal of the functional primordial uterus. In rare instances, the endometrium of t…
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the effect of acupuncture on symptoms and health-related quality of life in patients with endometriosis. METHODS: Nine biomedical databases were searched to April 2022 to identify randomized controll…
The deregulation of fatty acid metabolism plays a pivotal role in cancer. Our objective is to construct a prognostic model for patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC) based on genes related to fatty acid metabolism-related genes (FAMGs). R…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent disease and the etiologies has not uniform. Microbiota is associated with human diseases. To delve into the relationship between EMS and microbiota, Ectopic (EM) and eutopic (EU) endometrial tissues, phary…
PURPOSE: To assess the clinical characteristics and the risk factors related to the unfavorable prognosis of endometrioid ovarian carcinoma (EOVC) based on data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and two cl…
Previous studies have screened key candidate genes for litter size in sheep, including fibrillin-1 (FBN1), family with sequence similarity 184 member B (FAM184B) and zinc finger and AT-hook domain containing (ZFAT). Therefore, it is necessa…
Dietary factors are believed to potentially influence the risk of pancreatitis. Here, we systematically investigated the causal relationships between dietary habits and pancreatitis by using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR). Large-sc…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Chronic inflammation plays a significant role in the etiology of endometriosis, which might be affected by dietary intake. This study aimed to investigate the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and the…
INTRODUCTION: Personal care products (PCPs) contain a number of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that could potentially affect the reproductive function in women of childbearing age. However, studies focused on the effects of PCPs use …
BACKGROUND: The decline in the quantity and quality of mitochondria are closely associated with infertility, particularly in advanced maternal age. Transferring autologous mitochondria into the oocytes of infertile females represents an inn…
Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas. Medical imaging, such as computed tomography (CT), has been widely used to detect volume changes in the pancreas for acute pancreatitis diagnosis. Many pancreas segmentation me…
RationaleThe management of bile duct injury (BDI) remains a considerable challenge in the department of hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. BDI is mainly iatrogenic and mostly occurs in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). After more than 2…
BACKGROUND: The pathogenesis of pancreatitis involves diverse environmental risk factors, some of which have not yet been clearly elucidated. This study systematically investigated the causal effects of genetically predicted modifiable risk…
