BACKGROUND: Unexplained recurrent implantation failure and the high cost of assisted reproductive techniques for those experiencing infertility have increasingly resulted in the use of acupuncture. However, the trends and research status of…

BACKGROUND: Accurate and rapid discrimination between benign and malignant ovarian masses is crucial for optimal patient management. This study aimed to establish an ultrasound image-based nomogram combining clinical, radiomics, and deep tr…

BACKGROUND: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a condition characterized by a substantial decline or loss of ovarian function in women before the age of 40. However, the pathogenesis of POI remains to be further elucidated, and specif…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the efficacy of immunocytochemistry in diagnosing abdominopelvic washings (APWs) and evaluate the superiority of cytology combined with immunocytochemistry over cytology alone. MATERIAL AND METHODS: D…

Cytoplasmic dynein-mediated intracellular transport needs the multi-component dynactin complex for cargo binding and motor activation. However, the cellular factors involved in dynactin assembly remain unexplored. Here, we found in Aspergil…

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a prevalent condition affecting the male urinary system, with its molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis remaining unclear. Y-27632, a non-isoform-selective Rho kinase inhibitor, has shown therapeutic pot…

BACKGROUND: In the past, the primary treatment for MRKH syndrome (Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome) with a functional primordial uterus was surgical removal of the functional primordial uterus. In rare instances, the endometrium of t…

Mitochondria are the center of energy metabolism in eukaryotic cells and play a central role in the metabolism of living organisms. Mitochondrial diseases characterized by defects in oxidative phosphorylation are the most common congenital …

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported that after laparoscopic cystectomy of ovarial endometrioma, the ovarian response to gonadotropin (Gn) significantly decreased. However, for patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) after ovar…

Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent disease and the etiologies has not uniform. Microbiota is associated with human diseases. To delve into the relationship between EMS and microbiota, Ectopic (EM) and eutopic (EU) endometrial tissues, phary…

BACKGROUND: Accurate preoperative assessment of the efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for uterine fibroids is essential for good treatment results. The aim of this study was to develop robust radiomics models for…

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic tubal anastomosis (LTA) is a treatment for women who require reproduction after ligation, and there are no reliable prediction models or clinically useful tools for predicting clinical pregnancy in women who receive…

This was a retrospective study that evaluated a total of 280 patients who underwent surgery for complete removal of endometriosis to develop and validate the predictive model for stage IV endometriosis. The differences between stage I-III a…

PURPOSE: To explore perceptions towards embryo disposition among patients donating excess embryos to a research biobank. METHODS: Cross-sectional study of survey responses collected as part of enrollment in a research biobank. Patients are…

BACKGROUND: Now the occurrence of delirium is more concerning to clinicians and psychiatrists. It has been reported that vitamin D deficiency may be a relevant factor in the development of delirium in hospitalized patients. STUDY OBJECTIVE…

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Shrub kava has long been grown and utilized, primarily in the South Pacific region, for ceremonial, religious, and social occasions. It has been used as a pain reliever and muscle relaxant in medicinal practi…

Objective: Endometrioid ovarian carcinoma (EOC) is gynecological malignancy. Prognostic classification of EOC remains challenging, and the role of molecular markers in predicting prognosis is unclear. Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) has b…

Objective: To establish a predictive model distinguishing focal mass-forming pancreatitis (FMFP) from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) based on computed tomography (CT) radiomics and clinical data. Methods: A total of 78 FMFP patient…

BACKGROUND: The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate whether oral antibiotics (doxycycline and metronidazole) combined with intrauterine perfusion (gentamicin and dexamethasone) are beneficial for patients with repeated implan…

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…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the neonatal outcomes of progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) and flexible gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocols. METHODS: This was a retrospective propensity score-matched (PSM) cohort stu…

The relationship between hysterectomy and ovarian preservation and depression is controversial. This study aimed to determine the association of hysterectomy and ovarian preservation with depression using National Health and Nutrition Exami…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) of mild stimulation and conventional stimulation for the low-prognosis population undergoing PPOS protocols. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohor…

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…
