ObjectiveThe association of chronic non-malignant pain (CNP) with dyslipidemia is unclear. This retrospective study was performed to evaluate the association between CNP and dyslipidemia in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures (FNFs…

Endoscopic optical imaging technologies for the detection and evaluation of dysplasia and early cancer have made great strides in recent decades. With the capacity of in vivo early detection of subtle lesions, they allow modern endoscopists…

Introduction: Combined malonic and methylmalonic aciduria (CMAMMA) is a rare metabolic disease caused by biallelic variants in ACSF3 gene. The clinical phenotype is highly heterogeneous in this disorder, ranging from asymptomatic to severe …

BackgroundA large number of studies have shown that ulcerative colitis (UC) can increase the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). The purpose of the present study was to explore the specific mechanism of UC influence on CRC.MethodsWe searched P…

Background: Endometriosis-related pleural effusion (PE) is a relatively rare but treatable cause of bloody PE. The clinical characteristics and outcome of patients with endometriosis-related PE remain unknown. Objectives: We present a case …

Predisposition of germline BRCA1/2 mutations (gBRCAMUT ) increases the risk of breast and ovarian cancer in females, but the mutation prevalence and spectrum are highly ethnicity-specific with different recurrent mutations being reported in…

ObjectiveTo compare the value of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)/computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in differentiating benign and malignant ovarian or adnexal tumors.Materials and methods…

BackgroundAccumulating evidence supports the pivotal role of intestinal flora in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Serotonin synthesis by enterochromaffin (EC) cells is influenced by the gut microbiota and has been reported to have an interac…

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in the development of ovarian cancer (OC). The present study aimed to explore the roles of long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1094 (LINC01094) in OC. LINC01094 and microRNA (miR)-532-3p express…

ObjectivesTo determine the risk of having OSA in a cohort of female subjects who are infertile and the odds of being infertile in women with OSA.Patients and methodsA nationwide, case-control study of female patients 20 years or older diagn…

The pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by granulosa cell (GC) dysfunction. m6 A modification affects GC function in patients with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), but the role of m6 A modification in …

BackgroundMolecular analyses of vitamin D in a typical cycling endometrium has received minimal research attention in the reproductive field. This study was designed to assess how expression of the endometrial vitamin D receptor (VDR) and C…

Adhesion is a postoperative complication that has plagued gynecologists for many years, as 60-90% of gynecological patients develop adhesions after abdominopelvic surgeries. Abdominopelvic adhesions could lead to chronic pelvic pain, infert…

Clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare variant of urinary bladder carcinoma with a glycogen-rich phenotype and unknown prognosis. Using the National Cancer Institute's surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) program database, …

PurposeThis study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of several parameters, including the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) obtained from preoperative routine blood examination, either alone or as an adjunct to the carbohydrate antigen 19-…

A 45-year-old female with a history of hypertension presented with complaints of intermittent vision loss and blurred vision. Clinical examination revealed diffuse retinal whitening in the peripapillary area with multiple visible emboli in …

Research questionUsing RNA-sequencing analysis, we investigated the relationship between ovarian stimulation and endometrial transcriptome profiles during the window of implantation (WOI) to identify candidate predictive factors for the WOI…

BACKGROUND: Dienogest provided significantly greater reduction in endometriosis-associated pelvic pain (EAPP) than placebo in a 24-week, randomized, double-blind study of Chinese women with endometriosis. The current open-label extension st…

PurposeHigh-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has the potential to be an effective therapeutic strategy for pancreatic cancer (PC). However, owing to the high malignancy and poor prognosis of PC, the use of HIFU therapy alone is not suffi…

Although deqi, the phenomenon whereby excitation of Qi in the meridians occurs with needling, is critical to the practice of acupuncture and its efficacy, it is poorly understood. So we investigate the influence of the deqi sensation on the…
