Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a severe form of endometriosis that rarely undergoes malignant transformation, and when it does, diagnosis is often difficult. Here, we report two cases of long-standing DIE that progressed to endome…

Ureteral endometriosis is a rare but potentially severe manifestation of DIE, which may lead to hydroureteronephrosis and irreversible renal impairment. This study aimed to characterize the clinical and surgical features of UE in DIE and to…

Secondary abdominal pregnancy implanted in the broad ligament poses a high risk of catastrophic hemorrhage because of complex parametrial vascularization. Optimal surgical planning is therefore critical. A 28-year-old primigravida at 13 wee…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a heterogeneous gynecological disorder characterized by chronic pain, infertility, and substantial impairment of quality of life. Increasing evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of endom…

Endometriosis is the commonest benign gynecological condition, affecting about 10% of women and girls of reproductive age worldwide [1] . This is a chronic disorder affected by estrogen regulation and presents with symptoms like dysmenorrhe…

BACKGROUND: Urinary incontinence (UI) is commonly linked to pregnancy and obstetric factors, but the association between fetal birthweight and maternal UI remains contentious. This study investigates the association between fetal birthweigh…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common benign gynecologic disease in women of reproductive age, and its manifestations remarkably decrease quality of life. Lactate, as a metabolite, exerts prominent effects across a wide range of biological …

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have identified that exposure to heavy metals increases the prevalence of congenital heart defects (CHDs); however, limited information exists regarding the association between combined exposure to barium (Ba) a…

OBJECTIVES: To estimate the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) and its subtypes among nulliparous Chinese women with associated risk factors. The prevalence of UI among those living in urban or rural communities was also analysed with …

BACKGROUND: Previous research has demonstrated that exposure to individual heavy metals elevates the incidence rate of congenital heart defects (CHDs). However, there is a paucity of data concerning the relationship between combined exposur…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to verify the clinical predictive performance of methylated cysteine dioxygenase type 1 (CDO1m) and CUGBP Elav-like family member 4 (CELF4m) in endometrial cancer (EC) women with postmenopausal ble…

OBJECTIVE: Systematic evaluation of the efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM) versus laparoscopic myomectomy (LM). METHODS: PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science database were searched by…

This study investigated the effects of supplementation Moringa oleifera leaf (MOL) on relieving oxidative stress, anti-inflammation, changed the relative abundance of multiple intestinal flora and blood biochemical indices during letrozole-…

INTRODUCTION: Infertility has become a global public health issue. In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is widely performed as an infertility treatment. However, a significant number of infertile women continue to experience …

As one of the most successful therapeutic target families, G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have experienced a transformation from random ligand screening to knowledge-driven drug design. We are eye-witnessing tremendous progresses made …

Heart failure (HF) is the terminal stage of multifarious heart diseases and is responsible for high hospitalization rates and mortality. Pathophysiological mechanisms of HF include cardiac hypertrophy, remodeling and fibrosis resulting from…

BACKGROUND: Fecal incontinence (FI) has been shown to be a common symptom in Western countries; however, there is few researches focusing on its epidemic condition in Chinese women. We conducted this national population-based epidemiology s…

PURPOSE: As a serious type of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), ureteral endometriosis (UE) can result in decreased kidney function. The aims of this study are to investigate risk factors and surgical treatments for UE. METHODS: The s…

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse in obese Chinese women. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We performed a secondary analysis of 3,105 obese women from an observat…

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Menstrual blood-derived endometrial stem cells (MenSCs) emerge as an ideal source for cell-based treatment in regenerative medicine and immunotherapy. However, the major obstacle is the low survival rate in tissues and the …

AIM: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) occurs in 10-30% of women of reproductive age and up to 61% of cirrhotic women. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of endometrial ablation (NovaSure therapy) for AUB in cirrhotic women. METHODS: This …

CD47 is a membrane receptor that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and plays an important role in the mechanisms of tumor immune escape. CD47 participates in tumor immune escape by combining with SIRPα to reduce the phagocytic activ…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic presacral neurectomy (LPN) in treating endometriosis-associated pain. METHODS: Totally 64 patients with endometriosis were divided into two groups using prospective non-ran…

BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays an important role in the development of endometriosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of polymorphisms in the VEGF gene with the susceptibility to endomet…
