BACKGROUND: Endometriosis has been reported to be associated with metabolism-related diseases, such as hypercholesterolemia and diabetes, while no studies have reported the association between endometriosis and metabolic syndrome. OBJECTIV…
PURPOSE: Investigate whether local angiotensin II (AngII) and its AngII type 1 and 2 receptors (AT1R, AT2R) in the endometrium are different and correlate with microvessel density in women with reproductive failure and pregnancy outcomes. …
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the relationship between early life body size and occurrence of life-course multiple chronic diseases (multimorbidity). We aim to evaluate associations of birth weight, childhood body size, and their change…
BACKGROUND: Ongoing symptoms or the development of new symptoms following a SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis has caused a complex clinical problem known as "long COVID" (LC). This has introduced further pressure on global healthcare systems as there ap…
PURPOSE: The relationship between dyslipidemia and female reproductive endocrine diseases has been increasingly studied. The use of lipid-lowering drugs in treating various related diseases, including coronary heart disease, may affect fema…
MiR-181a suppresses the proliferation of mouse granulosa cells, which participate in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), suggesting the potential role of miR-181a in PCOS. Our bioinformatics analysis revealed that miR-181a could bind CDKN2B-A…
BACKGROUND: Neuroimaging studies have identified altered brain structures and functions in women with primary dysmenorrhea (PDM). However, previous studies focused on either structural or functional changes in specific brain regions rather …
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Magnetic anchor technique (MAT) is frequently used in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, there are few reports on its clinical application in China. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical appl…
Since the advent of conventional multiport laparoscopic surgery, the prosperity of minimally invasive surgery has been thriving on the advancement of endoscopic techniques. Cosmetic superiority, recovery benefits, and noninferior surgical o…
To investigate the clinical value of bedside index for severity in acute pancreatitis (BISAP) score combined with serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in predicting the severity of early acute pancreatitis…
Abstract Background Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is a non-metastatic, homologous, multicentric benign disorder characterized by small leiomyomas scattered over the peritoneum and omentum. It is a rare and benign disease wit…

BACKGROUND: Optimal protocols for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) after preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) remain unclear. This study compared Day 5 (D5) and Day 6 (D6) blastocysts and evaluated predictors of FET success. METHODS: A…
The aim of the study is to compare the outcomes between the insemination methods of conventional in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection in infertile women with thyroid autoimmunity and non-male factor infertility. This …
Transvaginal 4-D hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (TV 4-D HyCoSy) plays an important role in the detection and diagnosis of clinical female infertility. The purposes of this study were to analyze the influencing factors of TV 4murD HyCoS…
The lymphatic system is a channel for fluid transport and cell migration, but it has always been controversial in promoting and suppressing cancer. VEGFC/VEGFR3 signaling has long been recognized as a major molecular driver of lymphangiogen…
Infertility and menstrual abnormalities in endometriosis patients are frequently caused by aberrant follicular growth or a reduced ovarian reserve. Endometriosis typically does not directly harm the oocyte, but rather inhibits the function …
BACKGROUND: Abnormal uterine bleeding associated with ovulatory dysfunction (AUB-O) is a typical gynecological disease that can affect women of various ages. Being able to identify women at risk of AUB-O could allow physicians to take timel…
BACKGROUND: To develop the preoperative prediction of ovarian lesions using regression-based statistics analyses and machine learning methods based on multiple serological biomarkers in China. METHODS: 1137 patients with ovarian lesions in…
Endometriosis is a gynecological disease related to menstruation that affects nearly 10% of reproductive-age women. However, so far, there are no reliable diagnostic biomarkers for endometriosis, causing a delay in diagnosis of 6.7 ± 6.2 ye…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) in the treatment of female infertility. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study includes 174 female patients with a history o…
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the expression of serum miR-363-3p in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and its predictive value for pregnancy after ovulation induction therapy. METHODS: The expression of serum miR…
BACKGROUND: Reflux aspiration is a rare but serious complication during induction of anesthesia. The primary aim of this study is to compare the incidence of reflux and microaspiration in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy dur…
Abstract Background: Endometriosis can affect the systemic metabolic indicators, including body mass index, glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism, while the association between metabolic indexes and the occurrence and ART outcome of endom…
