Exosomes are extracellular vesicles of nanoscale, which represent the characteristics of the cells of origin. Tumor cell-derived exosomes (TEXs) obtain the characteristics of the tumor cells, which meanwhile transfer the various substances …

PurposeTo investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of netrin-1 in Bladder Pain Syndrome /Interstitial Cystitis (BPS/IC).MethodsA total of 40 BPS/IC patients, 20 patients with overactive bladder (OAB), and 20 healthy controls were inc…

INTRODUCTION: Raising the temperature of abdominal wall endometriosis lesions contributes to an effective ablation; however, providing sufficient protection to the surrounding tissues remains a challenge. In this study, we aimed to combine …

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the sixth most detected cancer and the 14th most prevalent cause of cancer death in women globally, affecting 2.8% of women at some point in their lifetime1. Patients typically present with uterine-confined pathol…

Aldo-Keto Reductase Family 1 Member C3 (AKR1C3), also known as type 5 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17β-HSD5) or prostaglandin F (PGF) synthase, functions as a pivotal enzyme in androgen biosynthesis. It catalyzes the conversion of weak…

The effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection persist months and years after recovery. We conducted an online survey to assess the health condition of convalescents approximately 5 months following th…

PurposeThis study aimed to develop a predictive model for assessing clinical pregnancy probabilities in patients undergoing frozen-thawed cycles with single Day 6 blastocyst transfers.MethodsWe conducted a two-center retrospective cohort st…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Does the NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome have an effect in adenomyosis? DESIGN: Fresh-frozen endometrial tissues and paraffin specimens were obtained from endometrial tissues from patients with adenomyos…

BackgroundThe causal impact of lipid-lowering drugs on ovarian cancer (OC) and cervical cancer (CC) has received considerable attention, but its causal relationship is still a subject of debate. Hence, the objective of this study is to eval…

RationaleClear cell carcinoma (CCC) is a highly invasive malignant tumor. CCCs of the female reproductive system occur mostly in the endometrium and ovaries and rarely in the cervix. So, it is difficult to diagnose cervical clear cell carci…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, a prevalent gynecological disease, has an unclear pathogenesis. Micronutrients play a crucial role in disease development, which has led to an investigation of their association with endometriosis. METHODS: In th…

IntroductionThis report details a case of Type I oblique vaginal septum syndrome (OVSS), highlighting its complexity as a congenital uterine malformation.Case presentationA 12-year-old girl presented with severe lower abdominal pain coincid…

OBJECTIVE: To exploit the combination diagnostic performance of serum microRNA-134-5p (miR-134-5p) and color Doppler ultrasound in patients with endometriosis patients. METHODS: Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) an…

Endometrial collagen I undergoes dynamic degradation and remodelling in response to endometrial stromal cell (ESC) decidualization and embryo implantation. However, excessive collagen I deposition in the endometrium during the implantation …

BackgroundPelvic floor myofascial pain is one of the pelvic floor dysfunction diseases disturbing women after delivery. There is a lack of objective standardization for the diagnosis of pelvic floor myofascial pain due to the various sympto…

Background: Radiation-induced lung fibrosis (RILF) is a life-threatening complication of thoracic radiotherapy. Ferroptosis, a recently discovered type of cell death, is believed to contribute to RILF, though the associated mechanisms are u…

IN BRIEF: Abnormal glucose metabolism may be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The present study identifies that highly expressed H19 leads to increased aerobic glycolysis and histone lactylation levels in endometriosis. ABSTR…

The incidence of multiple pronuclei (≥ 3PN) zygotes and blastomere multinucleation was found to be elevated in the presence of increased estradiol (E2) levels and a greater number of retrieved oocytes. This implies a potential link between …

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of elagolix plus add-back therapy (estradiol [1 mg] and norethindrone acetate [0.5 mg] once daily) on patient-reported nonbleeding symptoms and menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids (UFs) a…

Chitinase-3-like-1 (Chi3l1), also known as YKL-40 or BRP-39, is a highly conserved mammalian chitinase with a chitin-binding ability but no chitinase enzymatic activity. Chi3l1 is secreted by various cell types and induced by several inflam…

ObjectivesThe annual prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is increasing, and the lack of effective treatments imposes a substantial burden on both patients and society. The formation of nasal polyps in patients with CRS is closely rel…

BackgroundOvarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC), well known for its chemoresistance to platinum-based chemotherapy, exhibited a good response in clinical trials of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. By assessing PD-L1 expression, we sought to determ…
