OBJECTIVE: To assess the safety and efficacy of percutaneous intrauterine hydrodissection as a protective technique during microwave ablation (MWA) of uterine fibroids adjacent to the endometrium. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective ana…

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is widely acknowledged as the prevailing reproductive endocrine disorder accompanied by numerous metabolic dysfunctions. However, there has been a lack of systematic examination regarding the amino…

ObjectiveTo develop an automatic segmentation model to delineate the adnexal masses and construct a machine learning model to differentiate between low malignant risk and intermediate-high malignant risk of adnexal masses based on ovarian-a…

Neutrophils are important components of the immune system and play a key role in defending against pathogenic infections and responding to inflammatory cues, including cancer. Their dysregulation indicates potential disease risk factors. Ho…

OBJECTIVE: To systematically review studies on reproductive outcomes following fertility-sparing interventions. METHODS: Various electronic databases were searched and studies reporting reproductive outcomes following fertility-sparing int…

PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the impact of paternal age > 40 years on clinical pregnancy and perinatal outcomes among patients undergoing in vitro fertilization treatment.MethodsWe selected 75 male patients (aged > 40 years) based…

ObjectiveThe incidence of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is increasing annually. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic mechanisms of Yikang Decoction (YKD) in the treatment of PCOS through the integration of GEO datasets, network…

Previous ultrasound studies suggest that patients with adenomyosis (AM) exhibit increased uterine cavity stiffness, although direct evidence regarding extracellular matrix (ECM) content and its specific impact on endometrial stiffness remai…

BackgroundAccurate 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 tran…

BackgroundLymph node metastasis (LNM) is an important prognostic factor in endometrial cancer. Anomalous microRNAs (miRNAs) are associated with cell functions and are becoming a powerful tool to characterize malignant transformation and met…

BackgroundBreast cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death amongst American women. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), especially bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates, have adverse effects on human…

PurposeGonadotrophin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) is widely used for pituitary down-regulation and recruiting more follicles in assisted reproduction. However, no information is available on its value for patients with thin endometria…

Master regulator genes (MRGs) have become a hot topic in recent decades. They not only affect the development of tissue and organ systems but also play a role in other signal pathways by regulating additional MRGs. Because a MRG can regulat…

Objective: The association between phthalates and endometriosis risk is inconclusive. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the association between five different phthalate metabolites and endometriosis, based on current evidence. Methods: Th…

The aim of this paper is to study the molecular mechanism of Shaofu Zhuyu decoction in treating dysmenorrhea of endometriosis based on GPER2/MAPK/STAT1 axis. In this study, HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of the rat…

Recent discoveries in the non-coding genome have challenged the original central dogma of molecular biology, as non-coding RNAs and related processes have been found to be important in regulating gene expression. MicroRNAs and long non-codi…

The aim of this study was to screen genes related to the development and injury of the mouse optic nerve so as to provide possible target genes for gene-engineering therapy of central nervous system (CNS) injury. Gene expression was profile…

Together with the estrogen receptor (ER) alpha, estrogen receptor beta (ER beta ) mediates many of the physiological effects of estrogens. As ER beta is crucially involved in a variety of important physiological processes, its activity shou…
