This case series explores the diagnostic overlap between OHVIRA syndrome (obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly) and Gartner duct cyst (GDC) with ipsilateral renal dysplasia in two prepubertal girls. Both cases exhibited simil…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of hysteroscopic Mirena suture fixation as a therapeutic approach for adenomyosis. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 42 patients diag…

BackgroundUrinary 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 birthweight …

Transient receptor potential melastatin M3 (TRPM3) channels have been recognized as a pain transducer in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in recent years. TRPM3 activation initiates neurogenic inflammation and is required for the developm…

ObjectivesTo estimate the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) and its subtypes among nulliparous Chinese women with associated risk factors. The prevalence of UI among those living in urban or rural communities was also analysed with po…

Preeclampsia (PE) is a leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Although increasing lines of evidence suggest that both the placenta and the decidua likely play roles in the pathogenesis of PE, the molecular mechanism of…

Inflammatory responses in the peritoneum contribute to peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritoneal fibrosis. Results of our previous study showed that increased microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1-mediated production of prostaglandin E…

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) can result in lower fertility and shorten the female reproductive span. Bushen-Culuan Decoction (BCD) is a traditional Chinese medication utilized for treating POI for many years. We previously observed…

Background: Microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1)-derived prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a chief mediator of inflammation. However, the role and mechanism of mPGES-1 in peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritoneal fibrosis have not …

Ethnopharmacological relevanceHerba Patriniae has been used for thousands of years in China as a traditional Chinese medicine with heat-clearing and detoxicating effects. It is applied widly for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, diarrh…

SUMMARY The human uterus is a highly dynamic tissue that undergoes repeated damage repair and regeneration during the menstrual cycle, which make it ideal model to study tissue regeneration and pathological process. Stem/progenitors were sp…

The endometrial layer comprises luminal and glandular epithelia that both develop from the same simple layer of fetal uterine epithelium. Mechanisms of uterine epithelial progenitor self-renewal and differentiation are unclear. This study a…

Seventy patients with stage III or IV endometriosis were randomly assigned to 2 groups after conservative surgery. Group O (n = 35) received 3 cycles of a 28-day gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) treatment (goserelin, 3.6 mg) …

The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most important candidate genes for the development of endometriosis, and VEGF genetic polymorphisms might be potentially associated with endometriosis risk. However, the results st…

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease defined as the presence of the endometrium outside the uterine cavity. Endometriosis is a multifactorial and polygenic disease in which angiogenesis may be implicated. Angiogenesis is under t…
