Approximately 10% (176 million) of women of reproductive age worldwide suffer from endometriosis, which has a high rate of postoperative recurrence. The objective of this study was to investigate the risk factors of severe endometriosis and…
Environmental estrogens can promote the growth, migration, and invasion of breast cancer. However, few studies evaluate adverse health impacts of environmental estrogens on other organs of breast cancer patients. Therefore, the present stud…
As a multifaceted adipokine, chemerin has been found to perform functions vital for immunity, adiposity, and metabolism through its three known receptors (chemokine-like receptor 1, CMKLR1; G-protein-coupled receptor 1, GPR1; C-C motif chem…
Objective: To evaluate the impact of chronic endometritis (CE) on the recurrence of endometrial polyps (EPs) in premenopausal women who underwent hysteroscopic polypectomy. Methods: : We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study…
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies. Although CRC treatment has been significantly improved, patient survival remains low because most patients already have advanced disease at diagnosis. Early screeni…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficiency, postoperative hysterectomy rate, and influencing factors for therapeutic effect of the NovaSure endometrial ablation procedure in abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). METHODS: We conducted a retrospective…

BACKGROUND: To compare the efficacy and safety of follitropin delta in its individualized fixed-dose regimen with follitropin alfa in a conventional adjustable dosing regimen in Chinese women. METHODS: This was a subgroup analysis of the r…
The processes underlying adenomyosis are similar to those of tumor metastasis, and it is defined as progressive invasion by the endometrium and the subsequent creation of ectopic lesions. GRIM-19 regulates cell death via the mitochondrial r…
Serum biomarkers are often insufficiently sensitive or specific to facilitate cancer screening or diagnostic testing. In ovarian cancer, the few established serum biomarkers are highly specific, yet insufficiently sensitive to detect early-…
BACKGROUND: Lymphangiogenesis is a process involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases. Identifying key molecules and pathway targeting this process is critical for lymphatic regeneration-associated disorders. EGR1 is a transcription fact…
BACKGROUND: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) has been recognized to be a major obstacle to the successful application of artificial reproduction technologies. In this study, the trends in RIF research were examined through a bibliometri…
Endometriosis, a chronic disorder characterised by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, is associated with iron overload and oxidative stress in the lesion. Although it is well established that iron overload can trigg…
Abstract 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 examinatio…
Extracellular vesicles from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) play an important role in lymphangiogenesis; however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the function of extr…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic disease that can cause dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility, among other symptoms. EMS diagnosis is often delayed compared to other chronic diseases, and there are currently no accurate, easily…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the associations between homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and pregnancy outcomes in non-dyslipidemic infertile women undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embr…
Objective: To identify an optimal magnetic resonance imaging-based classification for evaluating the efficacy of focused ultrasound ablation surgery (FUAS). Design:A retrospective cohort study. Setting: The Affiliated Nanchong Central Hospi…
BACKGROUND: Endometrial scratching (ES) has demonstrated initial success in women with recurrent implantation failure, but the effect in women with 1 previous assisted reproductive technology (ART) failure is unknown. This meta-analysis aim…
According to a 2019 report from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was listed as one of the "serious threats" that had become a global public challenge in hospitals and co…
Abstract Background: Laparoscopic adenomyomectomy combined with intraoperative placement of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUS) is a novel conservative surgical procedure for adenomyosis. Our study aimed to compare the e…
Aim: Diminished ovarian reserve can be characterized by poor response to ovulation and low number of eggs. The risk factors include endometriosis, receiving cancer treatment, luteal phase deficiency and gynecologic surgery. Uterine fibroids…
Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a challenge in the field of reproductive medicine, but mechanisms for its occurrence remain still unclear. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been found to play a vital role in many different disease…
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. P21 activated kinase 4 (PAK4) and Breast cancer anti-estrogen resistance 3 (BCAR3) have been reported to be involved in numerous aspects in …
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the fastest-growing neurological disease in the world. A key challenge in PD is tracking disease severity, progression, and medication response. Existing methods are semisubjective and require visiting the clinic…
