BACKGROUND: A referenced MRI-based classification associated with focused ultrasound ablation surgery (FUAS) outcomes is lacking in adenomyosis. PURPOSE: To identify an MRI-based classification system for informing the FUAS outcomes. STUD…
ObjectiveTo compare the changes of metabolites between Low-level light therapy (LLLT) and combined oral contraceptive (COC) after treatment of primary dysmenorrhea (PD), and to compare and analyze the biological and biochemical effects of t…
BackgroundFollicular development in mammalian ovaries is a complex and dynamic process, and the interactions and regulatory-feedback loop between the follicular microenvironment, granulosa cells (GCs), and oocytes can affect follicular deve…
BackgroundSuccessful embryo implantation requires the attachment of a blastocyst to the receptive endometrial epithelium, which was disturbed in the women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). Endometrial β3-integrin was the most impor…
It has been demonstrated that scar tissue and fibrosis may increase the likelihood of developing malignancies. Specifically, scar tissue has been linked to the occurrence and progression of lung cancer (LC), though the precise mechanisms ne…
Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most lethal malignancies of the female reproductive system. OC patients are usually diagnosed at advanced stages due to the lack of early diagnosis. The standard treatment for OC includes a combination of d…
Endometriosis affects 1 in 9 women, taking 6.4 years to diagnose using conventional laparoscopy. Non-invasive imaging enables timelier diagnosis, reducing diagnostic delay, risk and expense of surgery. This review updates literature explori…
BackgroundSynthetic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide quantitative information about inherent tissue properties and synthesize tailored contrast-weighted images simultaneously in a single scan. This study aimed to investigate the…
BackgroundThe aim of the study was to investigate the value of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) in differentiating TP53-mutant from wild type, low-risk from non-low-risk …
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the risk of recurrence and reintervention after uterine-sparing treatment options for symptomatic adenomyosis, including adenomyomectomy, uterine artery embolization (UAE), and image-guided thermal ablation. DATA SOU…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common nonfatal gynecological disease, and infertility is one of its main dangers. Endometriosis-related infertility causes serious damage to women's health and places a burden on women of reproductive age. Th…
Severe endometrial injury caused by invasive uterine operation and/or endometritis often results in intrauterine adhesions (IUAs), which are named Asherman's syndrome (AS), further leading to menstrual disorders, infertility and severe comp…
Macrophages are a key and heterogeneous cell population involved in endometrial repair and regeneration during the menstrual cycle, but their role in the development of intrauterine adhesion (IUA) and sequential endometrial fibrosis remains…
Sclerosing stromal tumors of the ovary are benign and tend to occur in youthful women with lobular structures at low frequencies. Three types of cells, including luteinized cells, short spindle myoid cells, and intermediate cells, are found…
Endometriosis is a debilitating condition affecting 5% to 10% of the women worldwide, where early detection and treatment are the best tools to manage the condition. Early detection can be done via surgery, but multi-modal medical imaging i…
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a kind of lymphocytes that reside in the tissue and have an essential function in the immune microenvironment. However, the relationship between endometriosis (EMS) and ILCs is complex and not fully understo…
BackgroundObesity adversely influences the quality of oocytes and embryos and can affect DNA repair in embryos, leading to reproductive issues. However, the effects of body mass index (BMI) on DNA repair ability in oocytes during intracytop…
IntroductionAlthough previous studies have shown that vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) has the advantages of causing less pain, faster recovery, and better concealment of surgical incisions, which aligns with…
ObjectiveTo identify the optimal triage procedure for endometrial biopsies in postmenopausal women.MethodsThe clinical information of 470 postmenopausal women with endometrial biopsy results and postmenopausal bleeding (PMB) and/or transvag…
OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is a common benign disease in women of reproductive age. Qu's formula (QUF) is a patented Chinese herbal medicine for treating endometriosis that has been proven to be effective in treating and preventing the recurr…
BackgroundPredicting the number of oocytes retrieved (NOR) following controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) is the only way to ensure effective and safe treatment in assisted reproductive technology (ART). To date, there have been limited stu…
Postpartum uterine infection in dairy cows is commonly caused by pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E. coli). Progesterone elicits immunosuppressive function within bovine endometrium, and has been suggested to be related to post…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Adenomyosis focus resection has always been the main surgical method for patients with uterine preservation, but its curative effect and surgical method are still controversial. We improved this method on the basis…
ObjectiveThe aim of the research is to study the association between the serum levels of autoantibodies against one important epitope (168FMILPVGAANFREAMR183, designated as P6) of α-enolase (ENO1-P6Abs) and miscarriage among euthyroid femal…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is a relapsing and estrogen-dependent disease. For endometriosis such as deep endometriosis and ovarian endometrioid cysts, surgery is the most effective treatment. Long-term follow-up showed that the recurre…
