OBJECTIVE: To study the MRI characteristics of adenomyosis in secondary infertility patients, and to analyze the factors affecting pregnancy after High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). METHODS: Clinical data of 388 patients with adenom…

Goserelin is widely used for prostate cancer, but drug-induced liver injury (DILI) has been rarely reported. We present a patient who developed ALT/AST elevations after each subcutaneous injection, followed by improvement after withdrawal a…

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: 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…

Transient receptor potential melastatin M3 (TRPM3) channels have been recognized as a pain transducer in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in recent years. TRPM3 activation initiates neurogenic inflammation and is required for the developm…

IntroductionLetrozole monotherapy, while effective for ovulation induction, may compromise endometrial receptivity in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles due to estrogen suppression. This study aimed to compare the FET outcomes and analyze …

PurposeExploration of the location of sacral injuries following ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (USgHIFU) ablation for uterine fibroids and analysis of its influencing factors.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducte…

Ovarian endometrioma (OEM), a particularly severe form of endometriosis, is an oestrogen-dependent condition often associated with pain and infertility. The mechanisms by which OEM impairs fertility, particularly through its direct impact o…

BackgroundEndometrial cancer represents a significant health challenge, with rising incidence and complex prognostic challenges. This study aimed to develop a robust predictive model integrating programmed cell death-related genes and advan…

Diagnosis and treatment of endometrial diseases are crucial for women's health. Over the past decade, ultrasound has emerged as a non-invasive, safe, and cost-effective imaging tool, significantly contributing to endometrial disease diagnos…

IntroductionObesity has previously been correlated with an elevated risk of reproductive system diseases in women. The waist-hip ratio (WHR) has been shown to be correlated with visceral fat, making it one of the most commonly used indicato…

BackgroundRecent evidence suggests a crucial biological role for Circular RNAs (circRNAs) in keloid diseases, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study explored the biological effects and molecular mechanisms of hsa_circ_0002…

BackgroundThe application of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in the treatment of uterine fibroids is becoming increasingly widespread, and postoperative collateral thermal damage to adjacent tissue has become a prominent subject of…

The intensive study and investigation of neuroprotective therapy for central nervous system (CNS) diseases is ongoing. Due to shared mechanisms of neurodegeneration, a neuroprotective approach might offer benefits across multiple neurologic…

BackgroundXanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) and gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) share similar imaging and serological profiles, posing significant challenges in accurate preoperative diagnosis. This study aimed to identify reliable indica…

BackgroundAccurate preoperative assessment of the efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for uterine fibroids is essential for good treatment results. The aim of this study was to develop robust radiomics models for p…

ObjectivesThe ADNEX model offered a good diagnostic performance for discriminating adnexal tumors, but research comparing the abilities of the ADNEX model and MRI for characterizing adnexal tumors has not been reported to our knowledge. The…

In view of their low immunogenicity, biomimetic internal environment, tissue- and organ-like physicochemical properties, and functionalization potential, decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) materials attract considerable attention an…

Infertility is a worldwide reproductive health problem and there are still many unknown etiologies of infertility. In recent years, increasing evidence emerged and confirmed that epigenetic regulation played a leading role in reproduction. …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the correlation of magnetic resonance (MR) T2-weighted image (T2WI) signal characteristics of adenomyosis and the efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation. METHODS: Based on the presence or absen…

As a multifaceted adipokine, chemerin has been found to perform functions vital for immunity, adiposity, and metabolism through its three known receptors (chemokine-like receptor 1, CMKLR1; G-protein-coupled receptor 1, GPR1; C-C motif chem…

BackgroundEmpirical treatment was introduced when pathological or microbiological results of tuberculosis (TB) were not available. This report was designed to evaluate an algorithm based on empirical treatment in defining tuberculous pleura…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of different levels of physician experience on the high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation of uterine fibroids and to provide a reference for the use of non-perfused volume ratio (NPVR) standards du…

Objective This study aimed to explore the clinical value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (USg-HIFU) for the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE).…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease in women. A relevant literature search found that approximately 82% of patients with adenomyosis chose to undergo hysterectomy. However, women of childbearing age are more likely to …
