PURPOSE: Adenomatoid tumor (AT) of the uterus is a rare benign neoplasm of mesothelial origin. To date, few studies have reported the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and clinicopathologic features of uterine ATs. This study aimed …

BACKGROUND: Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a vital treatment modality for various gynecological conditions. However, complications may arise from the accidental migration of embolic agents into non-target tissues through the uterine a…

BACKGROUND: The incidence of ulcerative colitis (UC) is rapidly increasing worldwide, but existing therapeutics are limited. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which have been associated with the development of various autoimmune diseas…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to observe whether right-sided stellate ganglion block (SGB) before surgery can improve early postoperative recovery quality in peri-menopausal women undergoing elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery. METHOD…

Endometriosis and Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF) are both pivotal clinical issues within the realm of reproductive medicine, sharing significant overlap in their pathophysiological mechanisms. However, research exploring the commonali…

BackgroundTuberculosis (TB), a multisystemic disease with protean presentation, remains a major global health problem. Although concurrent pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) cases are commonly observed clini…

PURPOSE: This research aims to present the findings of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in a series of patients with proven deep endometriosis (DE) and provide an updated literature review. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between January 2018 an…

BACKGROUND: Uterine torsion is a rare obstetric event that can occur during pregnancy and is difficult to diagnose. Its occurrence may lead to serious adverse pregnancy outcomes. CASE INTRODUCTION: The patient was a 33-year-old woman at 30…

Angiogenesis, the formation of new capillaries from pre-existing vascular networks, plays an important role in many physiological and pathological processes. The use of pro-angiogenic agents has been proposed as an attractive approach for p…

BACKGROUND: Exosomes secreted by peritoneal macrophages (pMφ) are deeply involved in the development of endometriosis (EMs). Exosomes can mediate cell-to-cell communication by transferring biological molecules. This study aimed to explore t…

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (IVAs) can originate from the distal great cardiac vein (DGCV). However, inadequate distinction sometimes occurs when electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics are used to distinguish ventricu…

BACKGROUND: Poor ovarian response (POR), a manifestation of low ovarian reserve and ovarian aging, leads to a significant reduction in the pregnancy rate after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer. Acupuncture has increasingly been used t…

In vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET), a well-developed technology, provides the last possibility or hope for infertile women. However, the live birth rate per IVF cycle is still not satisfactory. Acupuncture is a frequently used …

BACKGROUND: Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is a leading cause of dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls. Manual acupuncture may be considered as an effective treatment for PD, but high-quality evidence remains limited. This trial aims to evaluate t…

BACKGROUND Previous research has focused on poor outcomes from a lack of insurance, but the effects of different types of insurance for patients with sepsis in the intensive care unit (ICU) have not been well studied. We aimed to investigat…

Infertility is one of the most common reproductive system diseases, and no effective method is available for its treatment. Although in vitro fertilization (IVF) has been widely used to enhance the clinical pregnancy outcome of infertility,…

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a critical event involved in the pathophysiological process of acute pancreatitis (AP). Many methods have been widely used for the treatment of AP-ALI, but few are useful during early inflammation. Lipoxin A4 (LXA…

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is one of the most common diseases of the reproductive system. Due to the high postoperative recurrence rate of IUA, it is crucial to identify the possible causes of pathogenesis and recurrence of this disease. I…

Glioblastomas are capable of infiltrating into neighboring brain tissues. The prognosis of a male patient is worse than that of women. Here, we demonstrate the effects of estrogen on invasion of glioma cells via regulating estrogen nuclear …

BACKGROUND: Inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer. This study sought to investigate the association between the preoperative c-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CRP/Alb) and oncological outcomes in ovarian…

Huatan Tongluo Fang (HTTLF) is a traditional herbal formula that can resolve phlegm and dredge collaterals. HTTLF has also been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA); however, the mechanism underlying the therapeutic effects of HTTLF on R…

OBJECTIVE: To examine whether a lack of prostaglandin E receptor 4 (EP4) on bone marrow-derived cells would increase local inflammation and enhance the formation of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in vivo. METHODS AND RESULTS: Prostaglandi…

BACKGROUND: To investigate the effect of pelvic floor Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) Therapy in improving endometrial thickness in women with thin endometrium. METHODS: 41 patients undergoing assisted reproduction with a thin …
