Abstract This study used a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to investigate the causal relationship between genetically predicted endometriosis (EMS) and breast cancer risk. A total of 122,977 cases and 105,974 controls were included in…
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…
Studies have shown that the occurrence and development of endometriosis are closely linked to long-term psychological stress. The specific contribution of chronic stress to the metabolic adaptations in patients with endometriosis is still u…
PurposeTo compare the safety, feasibility, and effectiveness of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic sacrocolpopexy (vNOTES-SC) and laparoendoscopic single-site sacrocolpopexy (LESS-SC) for pelvic organ prolapse (POP).Method…
BackgroundCurrently, fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG) is the most frequently used diagnostical radiotracer for PET/computed tomography (PET/CT) in ovarian malignancies. However, 18 F-FDG has some limitations. The fibroblast activa…
Research questionTo compare the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) per oocyte retrieval cycle of a conventional progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (cPPOS) regimen with a flexible progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (fPPOS) regimen in poor…
Routine semen analysis provides limited information about a man's male reproductive potential and can not always fully explain male infertility. Many male infertilities are caused by sperm DNA defects that routine semen quality analyses fai…
Certain medical diagnoses and environmental or occupational exposures may be associated with elevated risk of cancer diagnosis, either through causal mechanisms or via increased detection of a subclinical reservoir through increased diagnos…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory condition that is highly heterogeneous. Current clinical staging fails to accurately predict drug responses and prognosis. In this study, we aimed to reveal the heterogeneity of ecto…
Quercetin (QR) is a natural flavonol compound widely distributed in the plant kingdom with extensive pharmacological effects. To find the potential clinical indications of QR, 156 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) regulated by QR were o…
IMPORTANCE: Adenomyosis is a common chronic gynecological disorder, and its treatment is an unmet need. New therapies need to be developed. Mifepristone is being tested for adenomyosis treatment. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether mifepriston…
ObjectiveThe objective of the study was to explore the effect of body mass index (BMI) and insulin resistance (IR) levels on first-time assisted conception results and perinatal outcomes in young polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients.De…
BackgroundDachaihu Decoction (DCD) is a traditional herbal formula widely used for treating acute pancreatitis (AP) in China. However, the efficacy and safety of DCD has never been validated, limiting its application. This study will assess…
PurposeTo evaluate whether outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) are affected during the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic.MethodsThis was a single-center, retrospective study. Embryo development, pregnancy, and live birth outco…
Appropriate responses to inflammation are conducive to pathogen elimination and tissue repair, while uncontrolled inflammatory reactions are likely to result in the damage of tissues. Chemokine (CC-motif) Ligand 2 (CCL2) is the main chemoki…
PURPOSE: To establish a reliable nomogram model to predict the risk of major adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with adenomyosis, and to provide a reference tool for the hierarchical management and the prenatal examination of preg…
Because adenomyosis (AM) ectopic primary cells are hard to come by, have a short lifespan, and the characteristics that alter over time, their utility in AM research is constrained. This study aimed to establish a line of immortalized human…
Abstract Despite its prevalence and the severity of symptoms, little is known about the pathogenesis and etiology of adenomyosis. In our previous study, Scribble localization has been found to be partially translocated to cytoplasm, however…
Abstract Background As a dual-function metabolite, succinate has emerged in cell function and plays a key signaling role in linking mitochondrial function to other cellular functions. Succinate accumulation in the cytoplasm is commonly asso…
ObjectiveTo explore the factors influencing the successful implementation of same-day discharge in patients undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomy for malignant and non-malignant gynecological diseases.MethodWe searched PubMed, Embase, …
AIMS: With an ambiguous anti-proliferative mechanism, the combination of ferulic acid, ligustrazine, and tetrahydropalmatine (FLT) shows good anti-endometriosis (EMS) activity. In EMS, the expression of Notch pathway and its role in prolife…
RationaleSex cord-stromal tumors are always found in ovary, but the occurrence of this kind of tumor at extraovarian locations is extremely rare. Up to now, the case concerning fibrothecoma of broad ligament with minor sex cord elements has…
Pain is one of the main clinical symptoms of endometriosis, but its underlying mechanism is still not clear. Recent studies have shown that the secretory mediators of mast cells activated by estrogen are involved in the pathogenesis of endo…
BackgroundAs an inevitable event after kidney transplantation, ischemia‒reperfusion injury (IRI) can lead to a decrease in kidney transplant success. The search for signature genes of renal ischemia‒reperfusion injury (RIRI) is helpful in i…
Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the deadliest malignant tumors affecting women worldwide. The predictive value of some blood inflammatory composite markers in OC has been extensively reported. They can be used for early detection and differen…
