OBJECTIVE: To compare long-term decision regret between younger (30 years or younger) and older (31-49 years) patients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign disease. METHODS: We conducted a matched retrospective cohort study t…
BACKGROUND: Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) encompasses a range of cervical lesions that are closely linked to cervical invasive carcinoma. Early detection and timely treatment of CIN are crucial for preventing the progression of t…
Inadequate endometrial receptivity often results in embryo implantation failure and miscarriage. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a key signaling molecule secreted during early embryonic development, which regulates embryonic maternal …
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) ablation on pregnancy outcomes among women with uterine fibroids wishing to conceive, focusing specifically on short-term pregnanc…
The microenvironment and cell populations within the myometrium play crucial roles in maintaining uterine structural integrity and protecting the fetus during pregnancy. However, the specific changes occurring at the single-cell level in th…
AIM: miR-141-5p expression in patients with Early Spontaneous Abortion (ESA) and its correlation with hormone levels during pregnancy were investigated. METHODS: A total of 70 pregnant women with ESA were selected as the research group, an…
Despite advancements in assisted reproductive technology, recurrent implantation failure (RIF) remains a challenge. Endometrial factors, including ferroptosis and immunity, may contribute to this issue. This study integrated bioinformatics …
OBJECTIVE: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an important factor contributing to infertility in reproductive-aged women. Hyperandrogenism (HA) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PCOS. This study was conducted to explore the fo…
BACKGROUND: Primary abdominal pregnancy is an extremely rare form of ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancies that occur in the liver and diaphragm are even rarer, limited case reports are available in the literature. CASE SUMMARY: A woman o…
Luteal phase defect (LPD) is a common female reproductive endocrine defect,which is associated not only with certain diseases but also with the menstrual cycle and fertility in women. With the development of assisted reproductive technology…
Somatic mutations contribute to cancer development by altering the activity of enhancers. In the study, a total of 135 mutation-driven enhancers, which displayed significant chromatin accessibility changes, were identified as candidate risk…
In the last twenty years, the cesarean section rate has been rising in China, leading to an increased prevalence of cesarean scar defect (CSD) and secondary infertility. CSD decreases receptivity of endometrium, induces adenomyosis and endo…
Background: Indolent T cell lymphoproliferation of the gastrointestinal tract is a novel entity recently added to the 2016 WHO classification of lymphoid neoplasms. Classically, these patients demonstrate an immunophenotype consistent with …
Recent research findings have highlighted the pivotal roles played by lncRNAs in both normal human development and disease pathogenesis. LncRNAs are expressed in oocytes and early embryos, and their expression levels change dynamically once…
Abstract The early diagnosis of endometriosis is delayed and the clinical treatment is difficult, which causes severe economic burden to the patients. A comprehensive study of the cell classification and composition of endometriosis, is es…
BACKGROUND: An important factor in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is chronic low-grade inflammation. However, the exact pathophysiology of PCOS is currently unknown, which makes clinical diagnosis and the development o…
Mesonephric-type (or -like) adenocarcinomas (MAs) of the ovary are an uncommon and aggressive histotype. They appear to arise through transdifferentiation from Müllerian lesions creating diagnostic challenges. Thus, we aimed to develop a hi…
BACKGROUND: Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious pregnancy-specific syndrome associated with the inadequate invasion of trophoblast cells and inflammation of the uterus. A previous study found that lncRNA HOXD-AS1 promotes PE. However, its regula…
DNA damage is a key factor affecting gametogenesis and embryo development. The integrity and stability of DNA are fundamental to a woman's successful conception, embryonic development, pregnancy and the production of healthy offspring. Agin…
BACKGROUND: Monoamine oxidases (MAOs) is an enzyme that catalyzes the deamination of monoamines. The current research on this enzyme is focused on its role in neuropsychiatric, neurodevelopmental, and neurodegenerative diseases. Indeed, MAO…
PURPOSE: Ferroptosis is an underlying mechanism for various degenerative diseases, but its role in intervertebral disc degeneration remains elusive. This study aims to explore the key ferroptosis-related genes and its role in nucleus pulpos…
BACKGROUND: Accurate preoperative diagnosis of endometrial cancer (EC) with deep myometrial invasion (DMI) is critical to deciding whether to perform lymphadenectomy. However, the presence of adenomyosis makes distinguishing DMI from superf…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Is the microRNA miR-145 involved in adenomyosis, and by what mechanisms does it affect disease development and is itself regulated? DESIGN: Fluorescence in-situ hybridization was used to observe the expression pattern of…
BACKGROUND: The etiology of premature ovarian insufficiency, that is, the loss of ovarian activity before 40 years of age, is complex. Studies suggest that genetic factors are involved in 20-25% of cases. The aim of this study was to explor…
Microglial activation and polarization play a central role in poststroke inflammation and neuronal damage. Modulating microglial polarization from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory phenotype is a promising therapeutic strategy for the t…
