IntroductionTranscription factor EB (TFEB) deficiency contributes to insufficient autophagic degradation, resulting in zymogen granule (ZG) accumulation and subsequent premature activation, which underlies the pathogenesis of alcoholic panc…
Several diseases affect the female reproductive system, and both disease factors and treatments impact its integrity and function. Consequently, understanding the mechanisms of disease occurrence and exploring treatment methods are key rese…
BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the efficacy of acupuncture as a monotherapy for managing endometriosis-related pain (ERP) compared to non-acupuncture interventions. METHODS: We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CN…
Anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS) is a rare autoimmune condition characterized by the presence of anti-aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (ARS) antibodies and systemic features such as interstitial lung disease and myositis. Although autoimmune disorde…
While epidemiological studies have associated endometriosis with ovarian cancer risk, the causal relationships across anatomic subtypes and histotypes remain undefined. Using two-sample Mendelian randomization with 84 genetic instruments (F…
Pancreatitis poses persistent diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its heterogeneous clinical presentation, variable disease course, and lack of targeted interventions. Conventional tools, such as serum enzymes, cross-sectional imag…
Existing evidence shows the importance of circulating cytokines in studying female reproductive system dysfunction. Endometriosis (EM) is thought to be associated with multiple immune cytokines, but its causality has not been proven. Utilis…
BackgroundInfertility is a widespread problem for couples worldwide, and lifestyle factors are the cornerstone of infertility prevention. This research seeks to explore the association between combined healthy lifestyles and infertility ris…
BackgroundWe aimed to explore the association between daily sitting time and breast cancer in obese women, and further examine the mitigating role of physical activity in this relationship.Materials and methodsA secondary analysis of cross-…
Women's reproductive health plays a pivotal role in both longevity and the aging process. We conduct Mendelian randomization (MR) and observational analyses to investigate these relationships. Univariate MR analyses reveal that older age at…
BackgroundHyperuricemia (HUA) has become popular globally, being an important risk factor for various metabolic diseases. Elevated serum uric acid (UA) levels cause adverse reproductive outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome under…
Relative Fat Mass (RFM) is an emerging body fat measurement index that more accurately reflects the distribution of visceral fat. This study aimed to investigate the association between RFM and female infertility. We utilized data from the …
PurposeThis study aimed to monitor the expression of B-cell translocation gene 2 (BTG2) in granulosa cells of patients undergoing IVF/ICSI with respect blastocyst quality outcomes.MethodsWe recruited 181 women undergoing IVF/ICSI cycles for…
IntroductionLow-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) is a rare malignant tumor of the uterus, characterized by slow growth. Early-stage LGESS is associated with favorable survival, but it has a high recurrence rate. The primary treatme…
Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a severe condition frequently linked to infertility, yet the optimal integration of surgery and assisted reproductive technology (ART) remains controversial. This study reports two cases of infertili…
OBJECTIVES: In this study, we aimed to compare the clinical characteristics of cellular leiomyoma (CL) with those of typical uterine leiomyoma (UL) and explore recurrence risk factors in patients with CL myomectomy. STUDY DESIGN: In this r…
Serous papillary adenofibroma (SPAF) is a rare benign tumor in gynecological practice. Most patients have no symptoms and occasionally present with pelvic masses during physical examinations. SPAF consists of both fibrous and epithelial par…
ObjectiveTo compare surgical outcomes of laparoendoscopic single-site myomectomy (LESS-M) for uterine myomas using barbed suture versus conventional suture.MethodsData were collected from all women with uterine myomas who underwent LESS-M a…
BackgroundProgestins can block endogenous luteinizing hormone secretion from the pituitary gland and have shown similar efficacy in terms of collecting competent oocytes and embryos; however, some inconsistencies have been proposed by the p…
Curcumin, the principal bioactive compound derived from turmeric, possesses a wide range of therapeutic properties such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties. Recent studies suggest that curcumin may alleviate HMGB…
IntroductionDramatic alterations of the extracellular matrix (ECM), which can regulate cell behavior by binding to adhesion molecules and are intrinsically linked to immune regulation, occur in decidualization during early pregnancy. Decidu…
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a widely used chemical in industrial production. It can be introduced into the environment through multiple pathways and exhibits resistance to degradation. Recent research has demonstrated a significant …
Liver fibrosis is induced by persistent stimulation of various factors, resulting from complex multicellular interactions and multifactorial networks. Without intervention, it can progress to cirrhosis and even liver cancer. Current underst…
BackgroundFor poor ovarian response patients, obtaining higher number of transferable and high-quality embryos is crucial and progestin-primed ovarian stimulation protocol is becoming widespread and constantly improving in this population. …
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of ovarian endometriotic cysts on the efficacy of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in patients with adenomyosis. METHODS: Based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, patients were categorized…
