BACKGROUND: Müllerian duct cyst (MDC) is an uncommon congenital lesion arising from incomplete regression of the paramesonephric duct. It typically presents as a midline pelvic cystic lesion and is often asymptomatic, making preoperative di…

PURPOSE: Adenomyosis (AM) with dysmenorrhea (AMD) is a global public health concern that may involve abnormal brain function and heightened vulnerability to anxiety and depression. This study aimed to investigate static and dynamic regional…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a prevalent gynecological condition among women of reproductive age and is commonly associated with heavy menstrual bleeding, severe dysmenorrhea, and infertility. These symptoms impose a substantial burden on bot…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effect of serum luteinizing hormone (LH) level and increment on the day of endometrial transformation on the outcome of frozen-thawed embryo transfer during the hormone replacement cycle. METHOD: We conducted a ret…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting a significant proportion of women of reproductive age. Although laparoscopic surgery is commonly the preferred treatment, the decision to preserve or remove the ovaries…

ObjectivesThe increasing prevalence of obesity underscores the need to explore its impact on assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the association between visceral fat area (VFA), measured by bioelectr…

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the factors related to pregnancy outcomes after laparoscopic myomectomy.MethodsA retrospective review was conducted on 156 patients aged 18 to 45 years who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy in Ningbo…

Estrogen mainly binds to estrogen receptors (ERs) to regulate menstrual cycles and reproduction. The expression of ERalpha (ERα), ERbeta (ERβ), and G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) mRNA could be detected in ovary, suggesting that …

The physiological role of estrogen in the female endometrium is well established. On the basis of responses to steroid hormones (progesterone, androgen, and estrogen), the endometrium is considered to have proliferative and secretory phases…

BACKGROUND: Our previous two-dimensional electrophoresis experiment showed that the expression of LASP1 in patients with endometriosis was significantly higher than that of control endometrium. However, the molecular mechanism by which LASP…

There are three main types of cancer in the female reproductive system, specifically ovarian cancer (OVCA), endometrial cancer (EC), and cervical cancer (CC). They are common malignant tumors in women worldwide, with high morbidity and mort…

Tumor metastasis is an important reason for the difficulty of tumor treatment. Besides the tumor cells themselves, the tumor microenvironment plays an important role in the process of tumor metastasis. Tumor infiltrating immune cells (TIICs…

BACKGROUND: Many factors can affect the recurrence of endometriosis after surgery, however, whether endometriotic cyst fluid contributes to endometriosis recurrence after surgical excision of ovarian endometriomas remains unclear. The objec…

Abstract Our previous two-dimensional electrophoresis experiments showed that the expression of LASP1 in patients with endometriosis was significantly higher than that of control endometrium. However, the molecular mechanism by which LASP1 …

AIM: Endometrial cell proliferation plays a critical role in adenomyosis. It has been reported that MIR22HG and miR-2861 play similar roles in regulating endometrial cell proliferation, indicating their involvement in adenomyosis. This stud…

This study aims to investigate the embryo development potential of extending the culture of abnormally fertilized zygotes with no pronuclear (0PN), monopronuclear (1PN), and poor-quality day 3 embryos and to determine the associated clinica…

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified ~20 melanoma susceptibility loci, most of which are not functionally characterized. Here we report an approach integrating massively-parallel reporter assays (MPRA) with cell-type-speci…

Estrogen receptors (ER) include ER alpha, ER beta and new membrane receptor G protein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30). Estrogen receptors are key receptors to maintain ovarian granulosa cell differentiation, follicle and oocyte growth and devel…

Abstract Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory condition. Interleukin (IL)-37 is a member of the IL-1 family and an anti-inflammatory cytokine. This study aimed to evaluate the possible role of IL-37 in the EMs pathogenesis. We inve…

BackgroundThe Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial originally reported no mortality benefit of ovarian cancer screening after a median of 12.4years of follow-up. The UKCTOCS screening trial failed to show a s…

Evidence on the association between vitamin D status and pancreatic cancer risk is inconsistent. This inconsistency may be partially attributable to variation in vitamin D regulating genes. We selected 11 vitamin D-related genes (GC, DHCR7,…

Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) arising in the vagina is an extremely rare extrauterine endometrial stroma sarcoma, with only 4 cases reported in the literature up to date. Here we report a case of neoplasm originating from vagina. A 32-y…
