The vaginal and uterine microbiota play important roles in the health of the female reproductive system. However, the interactions among the microbes in these two niches and their effects on uterine health remain unclear. Here we profile th…

Caulis Sargentodoxae prescription has been confirmed by the gynecological clinical observation to be effective in the treatment of endometriosis (EMs), and inflammatory cytokines were involved in EMs. In this paper, animal experiments were …

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common malignant tumor in women worldwide. The persistent infection of high-risk Human Papillomavirus (hrHPV) is considered to be the primary cause of this disease. As an innate immune receptor, the nucleo…

BACKGROUND: Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is a leading cause of dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls. Manual acupuncture may be considered as an effective treatment for PD, but high-quality evidence remains limited. This trial aims to evaluate t…

The role of ERα36 in regulating BPA's effects and its potential as a risk factor for human uterine fibroids were evaluated. BPA at low concentrations (10-6 μM - 10 μM) increased proliferation by facilitating progression of hormonally regula…

Effect of laparoscopic myomectomy on the serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and the ovarian function of patients with uterine fibroids was studied. Ninety patients with uterine fibroids admitted to Th…

Endometriosis is a common disease among women of childbearing age, and it is the main cause of dysmenorrhea and infertility. This article analyzes the efficacy of mifepristone and gestrinone in the treatment of endometriosis. The results sh…

RATIONALE: Malignant mixed Müllerian tumor (MMMT) of extragenital organs is rare, especially in male. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of primary MMMT at the mediastinum in male. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 54-year-old male was ad…

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a leading cause of breast cancer death and is often associated with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation. Due to the lack of validated target molecules, no targeted therapy for TNBC is approved. Tissue factor (TF…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the endometrial expression of milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 (MFG-E8), its receptor integrin αvβ3, and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) in patients with endometriosis and infertility and in hea…

Spontaneous hemothorax due to anticoagulant use is extremely rare in clinical practice. Dabigatran is a novel anticoagulant to prevent stroke or thromboembolic episodes in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. We report on an 83-ye…

Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive disease characterized by irreversible morphological changes to the pancreas, typically causing pain and permanent loss of function. It is a poorly understood disease with the pathogenesis remaining uncl…

RATIONALE: Cornual ectopic pregnancy in adenomyosis patients is a rare clinical condition, which may require careful approach for accurate diagnosis and treatment. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 38-year-old woman presented with amenorrhea for 8 weeks…

Drug repositioning is commonly done within the drug discovery process in order to adjust or expand the application line of an active molecule. Previous computational methods in this domain mainly focused on shared genes or correlations betw…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease that involves the adhesion, invasion, and angiogenesis of endometrial tissues outside of the uterine cavity. We hypothesized that a link exists between estrogen and beta-catenin (β-catenin) sig…

Endometrial adenocarcinoma is the most common tumour of the female genital tract in developed countries, and oestrogen receptor (ER) signalling plays a pivotal role in its pathogenesis. When we used bioinformatics tools to search for the ge…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic conservative surgery plus gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) in the treatment of endometriosis through meta-analysis. METHODS: Six randomized controlled clinical trials compa…

BACKGROUNDS: Risk for Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA) and Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) appear to be promising predictors for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), however, conflicting results exist in the diagnostic performance compariso…

Chronic infection and inflammation are among the most important factors contributing to cancer development and growth. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important families of pattern recognition receptors, which recognize conserved components …

IL-13 is a central mediator of allergic inflammation. The single nucleotide polymorphism IL13-1112C>T (rs1800925) is associated with allergic phenotypes in ethnically distinct populations, but the underlying mechanism(s) remain unknown. Usi…

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of TCTS on endometriosis rats. METHOD: On the model of surgical induced rat endometriosis, weight and pathological changes of endometrial transplant and serum hormones were observed. RESULT: Weight of endome…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical efficacy of uterine arterial embolization (UAE) in the treatment of adenomyosis. METHODS: UAE procedures were performed in 23 patients with adenomyosis. Two 3.0 F FASTRACKER-325 tubes were placed into bila…
