Preeclampsia (PE) is a major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity. Because abnormal fat distribution is closely related to metabolic dysfunction, vascular injury, and hypertensive disorders during pregnancy, clarifying its genetic rela…
Extra-pelvic endometriosis always presents complex diagnostic challenges due to its non-specific symptoms. We describe a rare case of coexisting iatrogenic abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) and thoracic endometriosis (TE) in a 33-year-old …
IMPORTANCE: Gynecological clear cell cancers (CCCs) are aggressive malignant neoplasms with low response rate to chemotherapy. The treatment of patients with metastatic disease remains an area of significant unmet need. OBJECTIVE: To evalu…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the changes in serum Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels, sex hormone levels, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)/luteinizing hormone (LH) ratio in patients with celiac disease (CeD), and their correl…
To analyze the differential expression genes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), clarify their functions and pathways, as well as the protein-protein interaction network, identify HUB genes, and explore the pathological mechanism. PCOS mic…
BACKGROUND: TGFβ1 is a major profibrotic mediator in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Its direct inhibition, however, is limited by adverse effects. Inhibition of activins, also members of the TGFβ superfamily, blocks TGFβ1 profibrotic effects…
It is very important to treat adenomyosis which may cause infertility, menorrhagia, and dysmenorrhea for women at the reproductive age. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is effective in destroying target tumor tissues without damagin…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to build a nomogram based on clinical markers for predicting the malignancy of ovarian tumors (OTs). METHOD: A total of 1,268 patients diagnosed with OTs that were surgically removed between October 201…
Introduction: It has been previously reported that intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) are the main cause of uterine infertility. However, the histological origin of scar tissue present on the inner wall of the uterine cavity with IUAs has not be…
OBJECTIVE: The pregnancy patterns and other factors of live birth for patients with intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) were identified by analyzing the clinical features of pre-, intra-, and post-hysteroscopic adhesiolysis (HA). DESIGN: A total…
INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to explore the association between disordered vaginal microbiota and missed abortion to ascertain potential causes of missed abortion related to vaginal microbiology. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This…
BACKGROUND: To investigate the combined enhancing effects of microbubble-contrast SonoVue and oxytocin on high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation of adenomyosis. METHODS: 330 patients with adenomyosis were randomly assigned to So…
BACKGROUND: Most prior studies investigating the risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm (ROMA) with cancer antigen 125 (CA125) and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) have involved Caucasian population or other populations. To date, there have b…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to explore the effect of miR-146b expression and variants on endometriosis and its associated pain symptom. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Genotyping and expression of miR-146b was performed on 74 endometriosis…
OBJECTIVE: To compare the treatment efficacy and safety of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) on its own, HIFU combined with levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) and HIFU combined with gonadotropin-releasing hormone …
Bevacizumab, which is a humanized anti-VEGF antibody, has been successfully applied in clinics since 2004. Bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy showed high safety and has been applied to solid tumors. However, studies on the insight…
Pancreatitis occurs when digestive enzymes are activated in the pancreas. Severe pancreatitis has a 10-30% mortality rate. No specific treatments for pancreatitis exist now. Here, we discovered that interleukin-22 (IL-22) may have therapeut…
