Purpose: To investigate the correlation between pre-ablation ultrasound radiomics features and the sonication energy for focused ultrasound surgery (FUS) of benign breast tumors. Method: 53 benign breast tumors of 28 patients treated by ult…
Building a novel and efficient photothermal antibacterial nanoplatform is a promising strategy for precise bacterial elimination. Herein, a nanocomposite NiO NPs@AuNPs@Van (NAV) for selective MRSA removal was constructed by electrostatic se…
BACKGROUND: Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant genetic neoplastic disorder caused by germline mutation or deletion of the VHL gene, characterized by the tendency to develop multisystem benign or malignant tumors. The m…
The molecular mechanism that triggers polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is mysterious. Abnormal development of ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) is one of the causes of PCOS. Herein, our study was carried out using RNA-seq to detect the differen…
BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Chaiqin chengqi decoction (CQCQD) has been proven clinically to be an effective treatment for AP fo…
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) is a rare genetic disease attributed to the disorder of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Mutations in the GNRHR gene are one of the most common genetic causes of IHH. Herein, we…
BACKGROUND: Parental body mass index (BMI) is associated with pregnancy outcomes. But the effect of parental prepregnancy BMI on offspring conceived via in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), especially the…
To the Editor: Primary vaginal carcinoma is a rare malignant disease, which represents only approximately 1% to 2% of female genital malignancies. Vaginal adenosis is defined by the presence of metaplastic cervical or endometrial epithelium…
The high rate of SARS-CoV-2 infection poses a serious threat to public health. Previous studies have suggested that SARS-CoV-2 can infect human ovary, the core organ of the female reproductive system. However, it remains unclear which type …
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of two treatments on the outcome of freeze-thaw embryo transfer for pregnancy assistance in thin endometrium. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on 66 patients who failed in the first cycle tr…
Ovarian cancer (OC), one of the most common malignancies of the female reproductive system, is characterized by high incidence and poor prognosis. Tumor mutation burden (TMB), as an important biomarker that can represent the degree of tumor…
AIM: The levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine (LNG-IUS) system is an effective primary treatment for adenomyosis; however, it has high expulsion rates. We aimed to modify the system-allowing affixion to the myometrium-and evaluate the expu…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Endometriosis is a common and complicated gynaecologic disease. Long non-coding RNA CDKN2B-AS1 plays a crucial role in the development and progression of several cancers. Whether CDKN2B-AS1 contributes to endometriosis, h…
Several theories on the origin of adenomyosis (ADS) have been proposed, of which the most widely accepted is the fundamental pathogenic role of uterine eutopic endometrium. Emerging evidence suggests that circular RNAs participate in the mu…
Diabetes is a syndrome characterized by hyperglycemia with or without insulin resistance. Its etiology is attributed to the combined action of genes, environment and immune cells. Myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) is a heterogeneous po…
Communication between maternal uterus and blastocyst occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, and the interaction influences the success of embryo implantation. Whereas small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) play an essential role in mediating…
BACKGROUND: Endoscopic submucosal dissection to treat mucosal and submucosal lesions sometimes results in low rates of microscopically margin-negative (R0) resection. Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) has a high R0 resection rate a…
The estrogen 17β‑estradiol has been proven to serve an indispensable role in the occurrence and development of adenomyosis (ADS). The let‑7a/Lin28B axis can control cell proliferation by acting as a tumor‑inhibiting axis in numerous types o…
BACKGROUND: Synchronization of follicles is key to improving ovulation stimulation with the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol. GnRH antagonist administration in the early follicular phase can quickly decrease gonadot…
Abstract Background: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been recognized as a regulator in the formation and maintenance of chronic pain in various chronic disorders. BDNF together with its high-affinity tyrosine kinase type B (Trk…
Abstract Background: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been recognized as a regulator in the formation and maintenance of chronic pain in various chronic disorders. BDNF together with its high-affinity tyrosine kinase type B (Trk…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does ferroptosis resistance occur in patients with endometriosis, and can it be used as an indicator for diagnosis? DESIGN: Six datasets including 164 expression arrays from endometriosis studies were selected from the N…
BACKGROUND: Traditionally, final follicular maturation is triggered by a single bolus of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This acts as a surrogate to the naturally occurring luteinizing hormone (LH) surge to induce luteinization of the g…
INTRODUCTION: Leiomyoma recurrence is a major concern for long-term myomectomy management, especially for multiple leiomyomas. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) is one of the most effective medications to reduce the volume of f…
BACKGROUND: In a previous study, we reported that amnion promotes endometrial cell growth by regulating cytokines. In this study, hierarchical cluster analysis enabled the evaluation of cytokine expression changes after amnion treatment to …
