Endometriosis (EM) is a condition that impacts roughly 10% of women within the reproductive age demographic on a global scale. Due to the limitations of conventional diagnostic techniques for endometriosis, a concerted effort is necessary t…
Despite ongoing challenges in developing effective non-surgical and non-hormonal treatments for endometriosis, the psychological manifestations of the disease-particularly anxiety-remain comparatively underexplored. In this study, a hydroge…
BACKGROUND: Age-related diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) exhibits marked significant individual variation. Some women of advanced age with normal ovarian reserve (NOR) achieve better reproductive outcomes than age-matched DOR patients. OBJE…
Pregnant women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) have an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), potentially linked to altered immune regulation, but the underlying circulating immune features remain unclear. …
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the learning curve of uterine artery blockage via the anterior cul-de-sac and demonstrate the favorable outcomes of its application into complex minimally invasive myomectomy (MIM). METHODS: A retrospective case seri…
Uterine fibroid is one of the most common benign uterine diseases, affecting up to 70-80% of females of reproductive age. Whilst abdominal myomectomy has traditionally been a major uterine-sparing surgical intervention for its management, t…
INTRODUCTION: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a complex condition with multifactorial causes. This study aimed to characterize the microbial composition of endometrial fluid in RPL patients compared with healthy controls. METHODS: A tota…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine the effects and the efficacy of a combination of interventional embolization and endocrine hormone therapy for Pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 132 patients diagn…
Repeated implantation failure (RIF) presents a significant challenge to in vitro fertilization (IVF), and abnormalities in the endometrium often play a crucial role in RIF. To enhance and deepen our understanding of tissue context in the en…
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: Current therapeutic approaches for premature ovarian failure (POF) are often inadequate in clinical practice and some raise ethical concerns. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) have emerged as a preferred opt…
INTRODUCTION: Leiomyoma with bizarre nuclei (LBN) is a leiomyoma variant that can be associated with fumarate hydratase (FH) deficiency. Germline pathogenic variants in the FH gene are linked to hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carc…
This study investigates the role of circSMAD2 in ectopic endometrium of endometriosis (EMS) patients, focusing on its upregulation of FBXW7 m6A level by mediating the formation of the METTL3/METTL14 complex. Ectopic endometria from EMS pati…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Minimizing intraoperative bleeding is pivotal in myomectomy, and blockage of uterine arteries has been reported as an effective approach. We developed a novel technique to temporary occlude bilateral uterine arter…
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) remains a major cause of tubal factor infertility. Although in vitro fertilization (IVF) has largely replaced reconstructive surgery, selected patients with mild tubal damage may still achieve natural conce…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the perioperative and long-term outcomes of surgical management of patients with endometriosis at a community hospital in a low socioeconomic district. METHODS: A total of 39 patients underwent surgica…
OBJECTIVES: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of adenomyosis on transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) in a community hospital. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study Participants: A total of 124 patients who underwent hysterectomy between September 2…
Natural products, recognized for their potential in disease prevention and treatment, have been integrated with advanced nano-delivery systems to create natural product-based nanomedicines, offering innovative approaches for various disease…
Through a combination of single-cell/single-nucleus RNA-Seq (sc/snRNA-Seq) data analysis, immunohistochemistry, and primary macrophage studies, we have identified pathogenic macrophages characterized by Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 3 (TET…
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing, and remitting disease characterized by chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. The exact etiology and pathogenesis of IBD remain elusive. Although ELF-1 has been known to…
The objective of this study was retrospectively to analyze the clinical characteristics and 18F-FDG PET/CT findings in Meigs syndrome (MS) patients. A total of 21 patients with MS induced by ovarian stromal tumors and 69 patients with pseud…
INTRODUCTION: A potential association between periodontitis and endometriosis has been indicated in previous observational studies. Nevertheless, the causal link between these two disorders has not been clarified. METHODS: Based on publicl…
BACKGROUND: The role of mast cells in malignancies remains unclear, and there is no clear correlation between mast cells and tumor microvessels, tumor growth, or lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) prognosis. This study aims to explore the associati…
BACKGROUND: Immunotherapy has emerged as a novel strategy for cancer treatment following surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Immune checkpoint blockade and Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies have been successful in clinic…
BACKGROUND: Pelvic floor myofascial pain is one of the pelvic floor dysfunction diseases disturbing women after delivery. There is a lack of objective standardization for the diagnosis of pelvic floor myofascial pain due to the various symp…
