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…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To develop a noninvasive predictive model based on patients with infertility for identifying minimal or mild endometriosis. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study. SETTING: This study was conducted at a tertiary referral ce…

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…

AbstractAdenomyosis (AM) is a common gynecological condition that can be classified into different subtypes. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics, factors and treatment effect in women who diagnosed with intrinsic or ex…

This study was carried out to elucidate the biological function of HOTAIR in granulosa cells of endometriosis and the underlying mechanism. Granulosa cells were extracted from endometriosis patients and subjects with fallopian tube factor a…

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…

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is an environmental contaminant found widely across the world. While animal and human studies have shown that exposure to TCDD may cause significant alterations in the reproductive tract, the effec…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of transabdominal ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (PMWA) in the treatment of symptomatic focal and nonfocal adenomyosis. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. …

BACKGROUND: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) patients present with a chronic inflammatory state. Cell-free mitochondria DNA (cf-mtDNA) has been explored as a reliable biomarker for estimating the inflammation-related disorders, however…

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made chemicals known for their adverse effects on humans. Growing concern has risen regarding the reproductive toxicity of PFAS, but whether PFAS affect endometriosis remains to be explored…

BackgroundTuberculosis (TB), a multisystemic disease with protean presentation, remains a major global health problem. Although concurrent pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) cases are commonly observed clini…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors of cesarean section and establish a prediction model for cesarean section based on the characteristics of pregnant women. METHODS: The clinical characteristics of 2552 singleton p…

RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the effect of tubal endometriosis on tubal epithelial ultrastructure and is there a differential expression of exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) in tubal fluid which may affect tubal infertility? DESIGN: Human fallopia…

BACKGROUND: Ovary is a common organ site involved by endometriosis. We previously found that fallopian tube may contribute to the histogenesis of ovarian endometriosis. The finding was novel and requires further studies. We addressed this i…

The incidence of malignant transformation in ectopic pancreas (EP), including adenocarcinoma, is extremely rare. Herein, we presented a single case with invasive adenocarcinoma caused by the EP in the stomach. The patient consulted our hosp…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease. Hormonal and surgical treatments are the most commonly used clinical therapies, but they have many sides effects or are traumatic to the body. Therefore, specific drugs fo…

INTRODUCTION: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a frustrating challenge because the cause is unknown. The current study aims to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the endometrium on the basis of immune cell infiltration…

Shoulder pain frequently follows hepatectomy. However, the influence of surgical procedures on shoulder pain is unclear. In this observational study, patients who underwent hepatectomy were enrolled in Shanghai Cancer Center. Shoulder pain …

Reproductive disorders are considered a global health problem influenced by physiological, genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. The increased exposure to bisphenols, a chemical used in large quantities for the production of polyca…

INTRODUCTION: Stage IB (deep myometrial invasion) high-grade endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EA), regardless of LVSI status, is classified into high-intermediate risk groups, requiring surgical lymph node staging. Intraoperative frozen section…

OBJECTIVE: For patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET), there has been no consensus regarding which protocol is the most optimal for live birth rate in fresh cycles. We…

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) for the treatment of an adenomyosis model of Bama pigs and the changes in the level …
