ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of medicinal cake-separated moxibustion in inhibiting the adhesion, invasion and angiogenesis of ectopic endometriotic tissues in endometriosis (EMs) rats through transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β)/S…
BACKGROUND: Endometrial cancer (EC), a type of uterine cancer, is witnessing a global increase in incidence. Despite advancement in diagnosis and treatment, metastatic or recurrent EC often exhibits a poor prognosis, necessitating novel the…
Primary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune thrombophilic disorder characterized by recurrent venous or arterial thrombosis and/or pregnancy morbidity in the presence of persistent antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). Renal invol…
Retroperitoneal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is an extremely rare tumor originating from the retroperitoneum, with an unclear etiology and origin. Imaging studies are the preferred diagnostic modality for retroperitoneal tumors. The presen…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common female endocrine disorder marked by disrupted folliculogenesis and hyperandrogenism, is increasingly linked to oxidative stress. Despite this association, the mechanistic basis remains poorly chara…
Endometriosis is a chronic condition with limited therapeutic options. The molecular aberrations promoting ectopic attachment and interactions with the local microenvironment sustaining lesion growth have been unclear, prohibiting developme…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a hormone-dependent disease, which can usually be divided into peritoneal endometriosis (PEM), deep-infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and ovarian endometriosis (OEM). Although the three pathologic types are essen…
Endometriosis affects a substantial number of women of reproductive age, yet current diagnostic methods rely on invasive procedures. To address this limitation, we investigated THBS1 as a potential biomarker and regulator of disease progres…
Background: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is characterized by chemoresistance and poor prognosis in advanced or recurrent cases. This study aimed to find specific prognostic markers for OCCC. Methods: We analyzed 169 OCCC patients for…
The present study aimed to explore whether there is an association between the transfer of frozen thawed embryos (FET) obtained during SARS-CoV-2 infection and an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. We performed a case-control coh…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a debilitating, chronic disease that affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide. The most common symptom is chronic pelvic pain, which leads to a reduced quality of life and requires lifelo…
PURPOSE: To investigate the association between the oxidative balance score (OBS) and endometriosis. METHODS: This cross-sectional study used four cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (1999-2000, 2001-200…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis (EM) is a multifactorial disease that affects 10 - 15% of women of reproductive age. Additionally, 30-50% of women with EM suffer from infertility. The mechanism of infertility caused by EM has not yet been consi…
INTRODUCTION: The microbial community plays a crucial role in the pathological microenvironment. However, the structure of the microbial community within endometriotic lesions and its impact on the microenvironment is still limited. METHOD…
Uterine adenomyosis causing attention to the abnormal smooth muscle layer has recently received increasing attention, which has created the need for a method that can efficiently collect high purity uterine smooth muscle cells (USMC) in a l…
AIMS: Endometriosis is characterized by an abnormal immune microenvironment. Despite the extensive use of immune therapies, the application of immune checkpoint inhibitors in endometriosis lacks confidence due to the instability of preclini…
BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the main cause of anovulatory infertility in women of reproductive age, and low-grade chronic inflammation plays a key role in the occurrence and development of PCOS. However, obesity, as a li…
PURPOSE: To summarize evidence on levonorgestrel releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in the treatment of adenomyosis (AM) and to identify potential research gaps. METHODS: Search was conducted in MEDLINE, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, …
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is well known as a chronic inflammatory disease. The development of endometriosis is heavily influenced by the estrogen receptor β (ERβ), while NOD-like receptors (NLRs) family CARD domain-containing 5 (NLRC5) exhi…
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: Accurately differentiating between ovarian endometrioma and ovarian dermoid cyst is of clinical significance. However, the ultrasound appearance of these two diseases is variable, occasionally causing confusion and overlap with …
