BACKGROUND: To systematically assess and compare the predictive value of the Ranson and Bedside Index of Severity in Acute Pancreatitis (BISAP) scoring systems for the severity and prognosis of acute pancreatitis (AP). METHODS: PubMed, Emb…

BACKGROUND: Previous research has demonstrated that exposure to individual heavy metals elevates the incidence rate of congenital heart defects (CHDs). However, there is a paucity of data concerning the relationship between combined exposur…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to verify the clinical predictive performance of methylated cysteine dioxygenase type 1 (CDO1m) and CUGBP Elav-like family member 4 (CELF4m) in endometrial cancer (EC) women with postmenopausal ble…

OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between male hormones and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) in males. METHODS: Data from the Fangchenggang Area Male Health and Examination Surv…

PURPOSE: Endometrial cancer arising in adenomyosis (EC-AIA) is frequently detected accidentally following a general hysterectomy for adenomyosis. Whether supplemental lymphadenectomy in patients with EC-AIA can improve the survival outcome …

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown observational associations between the gut microbiota and endometriosis; however, the causal nature of such associations remains unclear. This study aimed to analyze the genetic causal relationship be…

As one of the most critical economic traits, the litter performance of sows is influenced by their parity. Some studies have indicated a connection between the gut microbiota and the litter performance of animals. In this study, we examined…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness of donor in vitro fertilization (IVF-D) and donor artificial insemination (AI-D) in clinical outcomes, risks, and costs. METHODS: This study analyzed the cycle changes and clinical outcomes in 20,910 …

Ferroptosis is a novel types of regulated cell death and is widely studied in cancers and many other diseases in recent years. It is characterized by iron accumulation and intense lipid peroxidation that ultimately inducing oxidative damage…

OBJECTIVE: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a distinct entity from epithelial ovarian cancer. The prognosis of advanced and recurrent disease is very poor due to resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. Our aim was to explore the molecu…

OBJECTIVE: Systematic evaluation of the efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM) versus laparoscopic myomectomy (LM). METHODS: PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science database were searched by…

PURPOSE: Women with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) have an increased risk of ovarian insufficiency. However, whether thyroid antibodies affect the ovarian reserve remains controversial. The aim of this study was to explore the possible relati…

BACKGROUND: Endometrioid adenocarcinoma is usually diagnosed by endometrial curettage with a positive rate of 94%, while a hysteroscopic examination can increase the positive rate. Differently, endometrioid adenocarcinoma arising from adeno…

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) has spread widely in swine herds since it was introduced into China, and PRV variants have appeared in many regions in China since 2011. Owing to the ongoing emergence of viral mutations, the protective efficacy of …

This study investigated the effects of supplementation Moringa oleifera leaf (MOL) on relieving oxidative stress, anti-inflammation, changed the relative abundance of multiple intestinal flora and blood biochemical indices during letrozole-…

The pathological retinal angiogenesis often causes blindness. Current anti-angiogenic therapy for proliferative retinopathy targets the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), but many patients do not radically benefit from this therapy.…

PURPOSE: The T2 mapping of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in endometrial cancer (EC), benign endometrial lesions (BELs), and normal endometrium (NE) has rarely been reported. This study aimed to determine the T2 values of MRI in EC, BELs,…

Preeclampsia (PE) is a leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Although increasing lines of evidence suggest that both the placenta and the decidua likely play roles in the pathogenesis of PE, the molecular mechanism of…

AIM: Adenomyoma is an exceptionally rare hamartoma in the small intestine. Few data have been reported on the features of this rare disease. The aim of this study was to describe the ultrasound (US) characteristics of small intestinal adeno…

Fungal populations are commonly found in natural environments and present enormous health care challenges, due to increased resistance to antifungal agents. Paeonol exhibits antifungal activities; nevertheless, the antifungal and antibiofil…

As no reliable diagnostic methods are available, gallbladder cancer (GBC) is often diagnosed until advanced stages, resulting in a poor prognosis. In the present study, we assessed whether volatile organic compounds (VOCs) could be used as …

The reduction in the quantity and quality of oocytes is the major factor affecting fertility in women with advanced age, who tend to experience delayed childbearing and declined fertility rate. However, effective therapeutic strategies to c…
