This study aimed to enhance preoperative diagnostic accuracy for early ovarian cancer (EOC) by constructing and validating an interpretable predictive model integrating serological markers with O-RADS ultrasound risk stratification. A total…
Secondary abdominal pregnancy implanted in the broad ligament poses a high risk of catastrophic hemorrhage because of complex parametrial vascularization. Optimal surgical planning is therefore critical. A 28-year-old primigravida at 13 wee…
INTRODUCTION: Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) is a rare malignant tumor of the uterus, characterized by slow growth. Early-stage LGESS is associated with favorable survival, but it has a high recurrence rate. The primary treat…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the roles of spermatozoal sialidase NEU1 and NEU3 in affecting the fertilization rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF), and whether sperm sialidase NEU1 and NEU3 can be used as predictors of IVF outcome. …
The endometrium is an important part of women's bodies for menstruation and pregnancy. Various proteins are widely expressed on the surface of endometrial cells, and glycosylation is an important post-translational modification of proteins.…
Follicular atresia occurs in every stage of ovarian development, which is relevant to female fertility. In the past decade, increasing studies have confirmed that miRNAs, a class of short non-coding RNAs, play an important role in follicula…
BACKGROUND: Infertility is a nationwide public health priority in the U.S. However, few studies have investigated the effects of dietary intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on female infertility. This study explored the associatio…
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To compare the diagnostic performance of orthogonal pelvis-axial (OPA) contrast-enhanced (CE) and orthogonal uterus-axial (OUA) dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols in assessin…
PURPOSE: To investigate the feasibility of whole-tumor apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis for improving the differentiation of endometriosis-related tumors: seromucinous borderline tumor (SMBT), clear cell carcinoma (CC…
Mast cells (MCs) play a pivotal role in the hypersensitivity reaction by regulating the innate and adaptive immune responses. Humans have two types of MCs. The first type, termed MCTC, is found in the skin and other connective tissues and e…
Acute pancreatitis (AP), an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas with a high hospitalization rate, frequently leads to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). However, therapeutic targ…
Abstract Background: In view of the similar MRI findings of endometriosis-related ovarian neoplasms, this study aimed to investigate the feasibility of whole-tumor apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis for differentiating …
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common and devastating inflammatory disorder of the pancreas. However, there are still no effective treatments available for the disease. Therefore, it is important to discover new therapeutic targets and strate…
Tumor incidence in the spleen is relatively low compared with that in other organs. The majority of primary splenic tumors are benign, and the majority of malignant tumors are lymphoma or fibrosarcoma. While the occurrence of single squamou…
