BackgroundEndometrial thickness (EMT) and blood flow are commonly used indicators of endometrial receptivity. However, the results of single ultrasound examination studies differ. Therefore, we used 3-dimensional (3D) ultrasound to study th…
AIM: To observe the effect of warming menstruation and analgesic herbal soup (WMAS) on the pathway of programmed cell death protein 1 and its ligand 1 PD-1/PD-L1 in rats with endometriosis model. METHODS: A total of 90 mature female Wistar…
BackgroundNeuroimaging studies have confirmed that functional connectivity (FC) disruption of pain-related brain networks may contribute to the cerebral pathophysiology of primary dysmenorrhea (PDM). However, it remains unclear whether FC o…
PURPOSE: To study the efficacy and safety of the dienogest and the gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) in symptomatic females with uterine adenomyosis. METHODS: A total of 127 patients with adenomyosis with a chief complaint of…
Female fertility declines with age, and this natural variation culminates in reproductive senescence. Human follicular fluids are rich in low-molecular weight metabolites which are responsible for the maturation of oocytes. The metabolomic …
Common uterine diseases include endometriosis, uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps, endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial cancer, and endometrial dysfunction causing infertility. Patients with uterine diseases often suffer from abdominal pa…
BACKGROUND: Different from conventional ultrasound, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is better in observing microperfusion. For atypical focal adenomyosis and uterine leiomyomas that are difficult to be distinguished by conventional ultr…
BackgroundIdentifying independent and interactive associations of a wide range of diseases and multimorbidity and apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) with dementia may help promote cognitive health. The main aim of the present study was to investigat…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a common gynecological disorder that often leads to irregular menstruation and infertility. The pathogenesis of EM remains unclear and delays in diagnosis are common. Thus, it is urgent to explore potential…
The absence of clinically objective methods to evaluate adenomyosis-associated pain and the poor understanding of its pathophysiology lead to treatment limitations. We conducted a resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging study wi…
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA)-guided personalized embryo transfer (pET) with conventional frozen embryo transfer (FET) in 281 Chinese women with recurrent implantation fai…
Ovarian pregnancy (OP) coupled with tubal ectopic pregnancy is rare. We present a case of coexistent ovarian and tubal ectopic pregnancies in the same adnexa resulting from in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) for tubal occlu…
The processes underlying adenomyosis are similar to those of tumor metastasis, and it is defined as progressive invasion by the endometrium and the subsequent creation of ectopic lesions. GRIM-19 regulates cell death via the mitochondrial r…
Changes in the function of peritoneal macrophages contribute to the homeostasis of the peritoneal immune microenvironment in endometriosis. The mechanism by which ectopic tissues escape phagocytic clearance by macrophages to achieve ectopic…
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of this combined treatment for chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) by meta-analysis.MethodsRelevant articles were retrieved from PubMed, CNKI, Wanfang Data, Web of Science, and Embase, including…
PURPOSE: To investigate the efficacy and safety of magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) ablation for abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) due to uterine leiomyoma or adenomyosis. METHODS: In total, thirty patients with A…
This study aimed to explore the effects of endometriosis (EMS)-derived exosomes and miR-301a-3p on the polarization of macrophages and investigate the involved molecular mechanism. The exosomes were isolated from ectopic endometrial tissues…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic disease that can cause dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility, among other symptoms. EMS diagnosis is often delayed compared to other chronic diseases, and there are currently no accurate, easily…
BACKGROUND: The expression of homeobox A10 (HOXA10) in endometrial stromal cells is regulated by steroid hormones, especially by estrogen. As a precursor molecule of estrogen, abnormal cholesterol metabolism is significantly positively corr…
Peritoneal macrophages play a significant role in the progression of endometriosis (EM), but their functional differentiation is still unclear, and their phagocytic ability is weak. CD47-signal-regulated protein α (SIRPα) and PD-L1-PD-1 are…
Colorectal cancer incidence and mortality have increased in recent years, with more than half of patients who died of colorectal cancer developing liver metastases. Consequently, colorectal cancer liver metastasis is the focus of clinical t…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a common gynecological disease. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which induces chronic pelvic inflammation and cell pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death based on inflammasome activation, are involved in EMS, but the ex…
With a younger tendency in morbidity age, endometrial cancer (EC) incidence has grown year after year. Worse, even more commonly occurring is endometrial hyperplasia (EH), which is a precancerous endometrial proliferation. For young women w…
ObjectiveGiven the limitations of current anti-resorption agents for postmenopausal osteoporosis, there is a need for alternatives without impairing coupling crosstalk between bone resorption and bone formation ie. osteoclastogenesis. Puera…
BackgroundClinicians in the United States have rapidly adopted opportunistic salpingectomy for ovarian cancer prevention. However, little is known about racial and ethnic differences in opportunistic salpingectomy adoption. Surgical innovat…
