Women's reproductive health plays a pivotal role in both longevity and the aging process. We conduct Mendelian randomization (MR) and observational analyses to investigate these relationships. Univariate MR analyses reveal that older age at…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to monitor the expression of B-cell translocation gene 2 (BTG2) in granulosa cells of patients undergoing IVF/ICSI with respect blastocyst quality outcomes. METHODS: We recruited 181 women undergoing IVF/ICSI cycl…
PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of poor ovarian response (POR) on live birth outcomes in endometriosis patients undergoing IVF/ICSI-ET, despite the expected association between reduced oocyte yield and poorer prognosis. METHODS: Patients w…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Can bioinformatics-driven identification of hub genes in granulosa cells be used to predict oocyte developmental potential in patients with endometriosis (EMS)-related infertility? DESIGN: This was an exploratory cohort …
Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition. However, endometriosis-associated malignancies occur in up to 1% of women with endometriosis. Most cases of endometriosis-associated malignancy occur in the ovary, whereas 20% of cases occu…
Various pathologies, environmental factors, and medications can cause anal distension. Sacrococcygeal chordoma is a rare tumor originating from the remnants of the primitive spinal cord. Nonetheless, only a few case reports of anal swelling…
INTRODUCTION: Abdominal ectopic pregnancies(APs) is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy, most commonly implanting in the rectouterine pouch. The treatment methods include surgical treatment and drug therapy. In the surgical treatment of ectopi…
BACKGROUND: Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) with pulmonary metastasis is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor. LGESS is composed of cells resembling proliferative endometrial stromal cells. It grows slowly and has a favorable pr…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Do mast cells play a role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis and, if so, what is the mechanism of action? DESIGN: The study included 18 women with ovarian endometriosis and 13 women without endometriosis. Primary endom…
Endometriosis is common and poses significant morbidity of lasting impact to young, pre-menopausal women, while ovarian cancer is a lethal gynecologic condition. Both conditions need better treatment. The human omentum is an apron of adipos…
Ovarian cancer, particularly epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), is the most aggressive and lethal gynecologic malignancy, necessitating the development of innovative and potent therapies to improve its prognosis. Human polo-like kinase 1 (PLK…
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of hysteroscopic Mirena suture fixation as a therapeutic approach for adenomyosis. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 42 patients diag…
Objective: To compare the efficacy of dienogest (DNG) and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in the treatment of intrinsic and extrinsic subtypes of adenomyosis. Methods: Totally 232 patients were enrolled in the study w…
BACKGROUND: Oocyte vitrification, a widely utilized assisted reproductive technology for fertility preservation, can address emergencies arising from the unavailability of sperm from the male partner on the day of oocyte retrieval. However,…
Curcumin, the principal bioactive compound derived from turmeric, possesses a wide range of therapeutic properties such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties. Recent studies suggest that curcumin may alleviate HMGB…
Adenomyosis remains a challenging gynecological disorder to investigate due to the absence of in vitro models that accurately replicate endometrial tissue dynamics across the menstrual cycle. To address this gap, we established an endometri…
Organoids are rapidly self-organizing 3D in vitro cultures derived from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) or adult stem cells (ASCs) that possess disease-like characteristics with high success rates. Due to their ability to retain tissue struct…
BACKGROUND: Extrinsic adenomyosis exhibits heterogeneous clinical symptoms, with pain being more commonly reported. The relationship between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) feature and symptom remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the p…
Emerging evidence suggests that microbiota dysbiosis plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of endometrial cancer (EC), a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women globally. However, few studies have simultaneously examined both th…
BACKGROUND: More than 500 patients have received cryopreserved ovarian tissue transplantation (OTT) worldwide, resulting in over 200 live births. Although guidelines recognize OTT as an effective fertility preservation method, there is no c…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Omega-3 Fatty Acids (ω-3 PUFAs) on endometriosis. DESIGN: The authors conducted a comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases, focusing exc…
INTRODUCTION: Prolactin (PRL) plays a key role in the regulation of reproductive functions. However, its impact on outcomes in infertility women undergoing assisted reproductive technology remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the re…
C-C motif ligand 11 (CCL11) is a multifunctional chemokine that regulates immunity, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling. In addition to its allergic inflammation role, CCL11 exhibits context-dependent dual functions in relation to cancer pr…
Adenomyosis (AM), a gynecological disorder that severely affects female reproductive health. AM-associated macrophage (AAM) polarization-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a key driver of AM progression. In this study, we in…
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory and neoangiogenic disease. Endostatin is one of the most effective inhibitors of angiogenesis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been investigated as compelling options for cell therapy. However, the…
