BACKGROUND: IL20RB, interleukin 20 receptor subunit beta, functions as a cytokine receptor subunit coding gene and has been discovered to serve an essential function in human malignancies. However, the link between IL20RB expression, clinic…
This narrative review synthesizes the latest advances in nano-diagnostic and therapeutic reagents for acute pancreatitis (AP), based on peer-reviewed experimental and preclinical studies published in recent years. AP endangers life through …
BACKGROUND: Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 (CIN2) is one of the precursor stages before cervical lesions develop into cervical cancer. The spontaneous development of CIN2 is ambiguous. One part of CIN2 lesions will progress to c…
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The objective was to investigate the expressions and significance of IGF-1, pAKT, pS6, and type I and type III collagens in uterosacral ligaments of patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). METHODS: A total o…
RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the lipidomic alterations in the myometrial tissue from adenomyotic lesions? DESIGN: This was a two-centre, prospective, observational study conducted between July 2023 and June 2024. Forty-four premenopausal pa…
BACKGROUND: Preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) has been widely utilized to select euploid embryos in patients carrying balanced chromosomal rearrangements (BCRs) by chromosome copy number anal…
PURPOSE: To verify whether there is lower incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment than loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) in young women of childbearing age. PATIENTS AND…
In vivo, NPBCNs generated strong signal enhancement in endometriosis lesion in rat on T1-weighted images via MRI.
Macrophages are innate immune cells present in all tissues and play an important role in almost all aspects of the biology of living organisms. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by cells and transport their contents (micro RNAs, mRN…
BACKGROUND: Observational studies have revealed associations between maternal lipid metabolites and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, whether these associations are causal remain uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the causal rel…
PURPOSE: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a distinct and highly malignant subtype of ovarian cancer with high individual heterogeneity in survival that requires specific prognostic predictive tools. Thus, this study aimed to construct…
BACKGROUND: The molecular mechanisms underlying window of implantation (WOI) displacement in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) remain unclear. This study aims to explore the transcriptomic signatures of endometrium with nor…
Endometriosis is a tumor-like disease with high recurrence. In this case, the accurate imaging-based diagnosis of endometriosis can help clinicians eradicate it by improving their surgical plan. However, although contrast agents can improve…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory, benign disorder that often co-occurs with adenomyosis and/or leiomyoma. The overall incidence of endometriosis in reproductive period women was nearly 10%. However, the exact mechanisms o…
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) for the treatment of an adenomyosis model of Bama pigs and the changes in the level …
RATIONALE: Primary clear cell adenocarcinoma of the rectovaginal septum is a very rare event. PATIENT CONCERNS: We reported a case of a 55-year-old woman diagnosed with a lump in the vaginal rectal septum after undergoing hysterectomy with…
Indocyanine green is a near-infrared fluorescent dye which is widely used in various fields of surgery and gynecology. It is currently mainly used to detect various malignant tumors, sentinel lymph nodes, endometriosis lesions, ureter or in…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common benign gynecological disease that causes dysmenorrhea in women of childbearing age. Malignant tumors derived from endometriosis are rarely reported and are found in only 1% of all patients with endometr…
BACKGROUND: To determine the predictive values of sperm parameters pre- and post-processing by density gradient centrifugation for clinical pregnancy rates (CPRs) following artificial insemination by husband (AIH) in infertile Chinese coupl…
PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the utility of magnetization transfer (MT) imaging in the study of normal uterus and common uterine lesions. METHODS: This prospective study enrolled 160 consecutive patients with suspected ute…
The sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) is crucial for assessing male fertility. However, the predictive value of the SCSA parameters, including the DNA fragment indices (DFI) and the percentages of high DNA stainability (HDS), for outco…
Objective: To investigate the clinical value of serological biomarkers (white blood cell count [WBC], neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio [NLR], prealbumin [PA], platelet distribution width [PDW], mean platelet volume [MPV], CA125,and D-dimer) to d…
OBJECTIVE: To identify the risk factors associated with dysmenorrhea in adenomyosis and to discuss the potential hormone-based understanding of pain mechanisms. STUDY DESIGN: Adenomyosis patients with mild or no dysmenorrhea (n = 40, Group…
Background: To determine the independent prognostic factors and develop a multivariate logistic regression model for predicting successful pregnancy following artificial insemination by husband (AIH) in infertile Chinese couples. Methods: A…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a disease that involves active cell invasion and migration. Talin-1 can promote cell invasion, migration and adhension in various cancer cells, but its role in endometriosis has not been investigated. This study…
