Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic inflammatory disease defined by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Ovarian EMS is considered the most prevalent disease phenotype. However, the causal relationship between gr…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the therapeutic efficacy of integrating virtual reality technology with conventional pelvic floor rehabilitation therapy versus conventional therapy alone in postpartum women with myofascial p…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disorder characterised by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, which can lead to clinical symptoms such as chronic inflammation, pelvic pain, and infertility. Aberrant cellular …

The female immune system operates within an evolutionary stability-plasticity trade-off, where the physiological demands of pregnancy necessitate a considerable degree of regulatory T cell (Treg) plasticity. This essential flexibility, howe…

Abstract Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic and refractory disease affecting women of reproductive age, and it carries an increased risk of developing endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC). Currently, highly specific biomarkers are …

Bacterial biofilms can make traditional antibiotics impenetrable and even promote the development of antibiotic-resistant strains. Therefore, non-antibiotic strategies to effectively penetrate and eradicate the formed biofilms are urgently …

OBJECTIVE: To develop an automatic segmentation model to delineate the adnexal masses and construct a machine learning model to differentiate between low malignant risk and intermediate-high malignant risk of adnexal masses based on ovarian…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the correlation between Clinical Features and Perinatal Outcomes in the population of pregnancies with adenomyosis. METHODS: This retrospective study analyzed 413 pregnant women with ultrasonography/MRI-confirmed aden…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a common inflammatory disorder in women of reproductive age, severely impacting patients' quality of life and fertility. Current hormonal therapies offer limited efficacy, and surgical interventions often fail to prev…

INTRODUCTION: Metabolic syndrome is a serious public health concern across the globe. However, the typical metabolites and mechanisms underlying the decreased fertility related to metabolic syndrome is still elusive. OBJECTIVES: The aim of…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis can lead to decreased endometrial receptivity, reduced rates of implantation, and diminished ovarian reserve. Currently, more than 50% of infertile women are found to suffer from endometriosis. However the etiology…

Aquaporin-2 (AQP2) is a critical protein involved in water metabolism. It is primarily located in the renal collecting duct cells' apical plasma membranes and intracellular vesicles and regulates the movement of water into and out of cells.…

OBJECTIVE: To systematically review studies on reproductive outcomes following fertility-sparing interventions. METHODS: Various electronic databases were searched and studies reporting reproductive outcomes following fertility-sparing int…

Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by chronic inflammatory responses and frequently associated with clinical infertility. Recent studies have demonstrated that the pathogenesis of this disease …

P21-activated kinase 5 (PAK5) belongs to the PAK-II subfamily, which is an important regulator of cell survival, adhesion, and motility. However, the functions of PAK5 in endometriosis remain unclear. Here, PAK5 is strikingly upregulated in…

BACKGROUND: Serum tumor markers (STM), extensively used for the diagnosis, monitoring and prognostic assessment of tumors, can be increased in some non-malignant lung diseases. To date, there is a paucity of studies regarding the clinical c…

BACKGROUND: Accurate and rapid discrimination between benign and malignant ovarian masses is crucial for optimal patient management. This study aimed to establish an ultrasound image-based nomogram combining clinical, radiomics, and deep tr…

BACKGROUND: Accurately differentiating between ovarian endometrioma and ovarian dermoid cyst is of clinical significance. However, the ultrasound appearance of these two diseases is variable, occasionally causing confusion and overlap with …

Objective: To investigate the relationship between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging characteristics and clinical symptoms and therapeutic efficacy in adenomyosis patients. Methods: The clinical characteristics of the adenomyosis que…

Cuproptosis is a new form of programmed cell death, which is associated with the mitochondrial TCA (tricarboxylic acid) cycle. But the functions of cuproptosis in endometriosis progression are still unknown. Here, we find that cuproptosis s…

Endometriosis is a common inflammatory disease in women of reproductive age and is highly associated with infertility. However, the molecular mechanism of endometriosis remains unclear. 6-Phosphofructose-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the risk of recurrence and reintervention after uterine-sparing treatment options for symptomatic adenomyosis, including adenomyomectomy, uterine artery embolization (UAE), and image-guided thermal ablation. DATA SOUR…
