Importance: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is the main sequela of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), with no established treatment. ZY5301 tablets, an effective part preparation extracted from Ajuga decumbens Thunb. (jingucao), are being tested …
BACKGROUND: Use of menstrual tracking data to understand abnormal bleeding patterns has been limited because of lack of incorporation of key demographic and health characteristics and confirmation of menstrual tracking accuracy. OBJECTIVE:…
AIM: To investigate the adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with endometriosis and its influencing factors. METHODS: A total of 188 endometriosis patients who gave birth at our hospital between June 2018 and January 2021 were screened fo…
BackgroundMesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response protein that plays an important role in pancreatic functions. As both alcohol and ER stress response proteins are involved…
BACKGROUND: Surgical management of endometriosis can be carried out with the traditional standard laparoscopic technique or the robotic surgery technique; however, it is not clear if there is a significant difference between techniques. Thi…
OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent condition with unclear pathogenesis. Recent findings suggest implicate autophagy and ferroptosis in EMS development. METHODS: We assessed autophagy and ferroptosis proteins in EMS pat…
RationaleThe management of bile duct injury (BDI) remains a considerable challenge in the department of hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. BDI is mainly iatrogenic and mostly occurs in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). After more than 2…
Endometriosis is diagnosed by laparoscopic surgery. The availability of biomarkers can help understand the pathophysiology and aid in the diagnosis of the condition. In this context, this review aimed to examine levels of expression of brai…
BackgroundEmbryo implantation in a receptive endometrium is crucial for successful pregnancy. Endometrial receptivity (ER) prediction tools based on endometrial transcriptome biomarkers by endometrial biopsy have been used to guide successf…
Abstract Background Increasing number of observational studies have associated mood instability to common female diseases, but the underlying causal relationship remains unclear. In this work, Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was appli…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the outcome of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and postoperative pain characteristics and compare the pain severity after TLH for adenomyosis or uterine fibroids. METHODS: This prospective observational stud…
INTRODUCTION: To determine the clinical effects of laparoscopic surgery (LS) in the treatment of endometriosis and endometriosis-fertility. METHODS: Two hundred twenty-six patients with endometriosis who underwent LS (LS group, n = 176) or…
Since the advent of conventional multiport laparoscopic surgery, the prosperity of minimally invasive surgery has been thriving on the advancement of endoscopic techniques. Cosmetic superiority, recovery benefits, and noninferior surgical o…
BACKGROUND: Lauromacrogol, as a sclerosing agent, can induce aseptic inflammation and fibrous tissue proliferation to achieve sclerotherapy. Lauromacrogol is widely used not only for vascular sclerotherapy but also for the treatment of diff…
Human amniotic membrane (hAM) is a promising material for tissue engineering due to several benefits, including desirable biocompatibility, stem cell source, antibacterial activity, etc. However, because of its low elasticity, the clinical …
BackgroundMenstrual cycle tracking apps (MCTAs) have potential in epidemiological studies of women's health, facilitating real-time tracking of bleeding days and menstrual-associated signs and symptoms. However, information regarding the ch…
Galectin-9 (Gal-9) is a vital member of the galectin family, functioning as a multi-subtype galactose lectin with diverse biological roles. Recent research has revealed that Gal-9's interaction with tumors is an independent factor that infl…
