BACKGROUND: Angiomyofibroblastoma (AMFB) is a relatively rare benign mesenchymal tumor predominantly observed in premenopausal women. We present a case of vulvar AMFB in a 29-year-old woman, with the tumor measuring approximately 6 cm in di…

ABSTRACT: Low oocyte retrieval (LOR), defined as oocytes retrieved from <50% of mature follicles, significantly impacts IVF success, especially in patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). Predictive models tailored for this populatio…

BACKGROUND: Current guidelines recommend laparoscopic cystectomy for ovarian endometrioma (OMA) ≥4 cm before fertility treatment, yet cystectomy inevitably damages ovarian reserve. While recent large-scale studies have confirmed that cystec…

PURPOSE: Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent, inflammatory gynecological disorder with limited effective treatments and high recurrence rates. Given the central roles of inflammation, oxidative stress, pyroptosis, and angiogenesis in its pat…

PURPOSE: Observational studies have indicated a potential link between adenomyosis/endometriosis and adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs), yet the potential relationship remains uncertain. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study investigates whether…

BACKGROUND: Implantation failure is the most common cause of pregnancy failure and is a major limiting factor in assisted reproduction. Plasma microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles show dynamic changes among individuals with successful impla…

OBJECTIVES: In this study, we aimed to compare the clinical characteristics of cellular leiomyoma (CL) with those of typical uterine leiomyoma (UL) and explore recurrence risk factors in patients with CL myomectomy. STUDY DESIGN: In this r…

BACKGROUND: Progestins can block endogenous luteinizing hormone secretion from the pituitary gland and have shown similar efficacy in terms of collecting competent oocytes and embryos; however, some inconsistencies have been proposed by the…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of ovarian endometriotic cysts on the efficacy of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in patients with adenomyosis. METHODS: Based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, patients were categorized…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of pelvic adhesions on reproductive outcomes following high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation in patients with adenomyosis. METHODS: A total of 396 patients with adenomyosis underwent HIFU, i…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided percutaneous thermal ablation for abdominal wall metastases. MATERIALS & METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed patients with abdominal wall metastatic nodules who underwen…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of focused ultrasound ablation surgery (FUAS) in treating patients with adenomyosis and coexisting pelvic adhesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 396 patients diagnosed…

Endometritis is a prevalent condition of the reproductive system that leads to significant tissue damage in the uterus, thereby seriously impacting the health and quality of life of these patients. Hesperidin (HES), a natural flavonoid glyc…

Endometriosis (EMs) and recurrent miscarriage (RM) represent major reproductive health challenges. This study investigates the involvement of endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) in these conditions through integrative bioinformatics …

Autophagy is a highly conserved cellular process crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis by degrading damaged organelles and misfolded proteins. Emerging evidence highlights its pivotal role in endometrial diseases, including endometri…

OBJECTIVE: Although immune dysregulation is implicated in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMs), the specific role of prostate transmembrane protein androgen induced 1 (PMEPA1) in modulating the function of regulatory T cells (Tregs) rema…

PURPOSE: The cryopreservation process damages oocytes and impairs development potential. As a potent antioxidant, C-phycocyanin (PC) regulates reproductive performance. However, its beneficial effects on vitrified human oocytes remain unkno…

Abstract Background Endometriosis is considered as a systemic disease with the presence of proinflammatory cytokines in the circulation, which drives hypercoagulable state. Currently, endometriosis is classified into four stages: I (minimal…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is considered as a systemic disease with the presence of proinflammatory cytokines in the circulation, which drives hypercoagulable state of endometriosis. Currently, endometriosis is classified into four stages: I…

The oocytes of female mammals will undergo aging after ovulation, also known as postovulatory oocyte aging (POA). Until now, the mechanisms of POA have not been fully understood. Although studies have shown that cumulus cells accelerate POA…

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a conventional gynecological condition and the mechanism is not entirely clear. Although an increasing number of studies revealed that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have essential functions in many diseases, …

OBJECTIVES: The study investigated the stem cell expression profiles and differentiation capacities of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from different tissues, specifically human eutopic endometrium MSCs (eut-MSCs), ectopic endometrium MSCs (e…

Shoulder pain frequently follows hepatectomy. However, the influence of surgical procedures on shoulder pain is unclear. In this observational study, patients who underwent hepatectomy were enrolled in Shanghai Cancer Center. Shoulder pain …

The pathological retinal angiogenesis often causes blindness. Current anti-angiogenic therapy for proliferative retinopathy targets the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), but many patients do not radically benefit from this therapy.…
