The lack of accurate understanding of cellular physiology and pathophysiology during the WOI constitutes the major obstacle to correct diagnosis and treatment for patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). The role of cilia as one …
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is a microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus. Circular RNAs have been implicated in the pathogenesis of PDR. This study aimed to elucidate the specific mechanism by which circFTO contributes …
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a subtype of ovarian cancer with a poor prognosis that often shows resistance to chemotherapy. This study retrospectively analyzed 247 patients with OCCC who were admitted to the Cancer Hospital of the…
INTRODUCTION: The robotic surgical system equipped with enhanced visualization, flexible instruments, tremor filtration, and improved ergonomics can greatly address difficulties encountered in conventional laparoendoscopic single-site surge…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (PDT) for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions of the cervix associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. METHODS: In this study, 1…
BACKGROUND: Cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC) constitutes a substantial global health burden, especially in resource-limited regions. The identification of reliable biomarkers is critical for developing a clinically applicable nomogra…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS), a well-recognized chronic inflammatory disorder, characterized by significant immune dysregulation, in which myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are essential for facilitating immunosuppression and driv…
INTRODUCTION: Pregnancy is a special time during which some benign hormonally-responsive lesions could grow and mimic malignancy on clinical evaluation and imaging. Though decidualization of ovarian endometrioma has been reported, little is…
Pregnancy is a special time during which some benign hormonally-responsive lesions could grow and mimic malignancy on clinical evaluation and imaging. Though decidualization of ovarian endometrioma has been reported, little is known about d…
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is recognized as one of the leading causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) worldwide, representing a rapidly growing global public health concern. Despite significant advance…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease and a major contributor to dysmenorrhea that substantially reduces the quality of life of the affected. Dienogest has emerged as a promising drug for treating adenomyosis. A few syst…
Drug repositioning presents a compelling strategy to accelerate therapeutic development by uncovering new indications for existing compounds. However, current computational methods are often limited in their ability to integrate heterogeneo…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of music therapy combined with mindfulness-based stress reduction on psychological state, pain and sleep in patients with uterine adenomyosis after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation. ME…
This study investigates changes in regional homogeneity (ReHo) of the brain in patients with adenomyosis accompanied by dysmenorrhea (AMD) before and after uterine artery embolization (UAE) surgery. ReHo is a resting-state functional magnet…
BACKGROUND: Unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (uRPL), defined as the loss of two or more pregnancies without an identified cause, affects approximately 1-2% of women trying to conceive. Emerging evidence suggests that an imbalance in mat…
As a complex chronic gynecological disorder characterized by multifaceted etiology involving genetics, environment, immunity and inflammation, endometriosis (EM) has long been a significant concern for women of reproductive age worldwide. T…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a prevalent, estrogen-dependent, inflammatory disease that impairs fertility via hormonal dysregulation, immune dysfunction, oxidative stress/ferroptosis, genetic and epigenetic alterations, and microbiome imb…
This article introduces a novel case report of a patient exhibiting endometriosis within the para-aortic lymph nodes, concomitant with cystic adenomyosis and notably lacking pelvic endometriosis, alongside the sequencing analysis of her les…
Biofilms increase bacterial resistance to antibiotics, as conventional antibiotic doses are often ineffective at penetrating the biofilm matrix to eliminate bacteria. Recent research has shown that the Gram-negative predator bacterium Bdell…
BACKGROUND: Infertility affects millions globally, with significant social, emotional, and economic consequences. While frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) is a cornerstone of assisted reproductive technology, its clinical pregnancy success…
PURPOSE: This study aims to establish a single-time point RNA-sequencing-based endometrial receptivity test (rsERT) to provide hourly precision of endometrial WOI for patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). METHODS: A two-phase…
This study aimed to elucidate the role of microRNA-92a-3p (miR-92a-3p) in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis. We examined how miR-92a-3p, found in exosomes derived from ectopic lesions, influences the behaviour of endometrial cells, dorsal roo…
BACKGROUND: Substantial impacts on the female reproductive system have been definitively linked to heightened levels of serum uric acid. However, evidence directly linking increased serum uric acid levels to endometriosis in women remains s…
BACKGROUND: Urinary incontinence (UI) is commonly linked to pregnancy and obstetric factors, but the association between fetal birthweight and maternal UI remains contentious. This study investigates the association between fetal birthweigh…
OBJECTIVE: To analyse global prevalence data for infertility due to endometriosis from 1990 to 2021, emphasising health inequalities. DESIGN: Population-based study. SETTING: Data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database. POPULAT…
