Human urine is traditionally considered to be sterile, and whether the urine harbours distinct microbial communities has been a matter of debate. Potential links between female urine and reproductive tract microbial communities is currently…

Background: Adenomyosis is a quite common gynecological disorder and above 30% of patients have typical secondary and progressive dysmenorrhea. Current treatments still have many disadvantages and thereby the novel treatment aiming to relie…

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown a major green tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate ((-)-EGCG) as a powerful anti-cancer agent. However, its poor bioavailability and requirement of a high dosage to manifest activity have res…

Transcervical resection of adhesion (TCRA) is the standard treatment for the intrauterine adhesions, but the recurrence of adhesions is a tough problem for the gynecologist. In addition, the therapeutic strategy after TCRA about prevention …

STUDY QUESTION: Do changes in tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8)-like 2 (TIPE2) levels in endometrium of patients with adenomyosis alter the proliferation, migration and invasion ability of endometrial cells? SUMMARY ANSWE…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, characterized by the presence of functional endometrial tissues outside the uterus, is one of the most common gynecological disorders. Endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are crucial for the occurrence and d…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common disease occurring in 1-2% of all women of reproductive age. Although there is increasing evidence on the association between endometriosis and adverse perinatal outcomes, little is known about the effec…

Adenomyosis is also called internal endometriosis and affects about 20% of reproductive-aged women. It seriously reduces life quality of patients because current drug therapies face with numerous challenges. Long-term clinical application o…

The Asian Society of Gynecologic Oncology International Workshop 2018 on gynecologic oncology was held in the Ajou University Hospital, Suwon, Korea on the 24th to 25th August 2018. The workshop was an opportunity for Asian doctors to discu…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to evaluate and compare the differences in the clinicopathological variables and overall survival (OS) of synchronous primary cancers of the endometrium and ovary (SCEO) and endometrial cancer with ovaria…

BACKGROUND: The serum tumor markers has been widely used in ovarian cancer diagnosis. BRCA1/2 germline mutations are the most common predisposing factors for ovarian cancer development. This study aimed to comprehensively investigate serum …

Copy number variation (CNV) is a main cause of male infertility, yet its influence still remains elusive in that of females. To investigate the correlation between CNV and female infertility, we applied whole-genome CNV analyses by next gen…

There has been growing concern surrounding the use of unconfined power morcellation in laparoscopic surgeries for uterine leiomyoma due to its associated risks and long-term clinical sequelae, including parasitic leiomyomas and disseminated…

Programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) has been identified as a tumor‑suppressor gene that inhibits neoplastic transformation, tumor progression, and protein translation. It has been reported that multiple factors participate in the regulation of …

Objective: To investigate the feasibility and safety of magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) ablation treatment for uterine fibroids and adenomyosis. Methods: From February 2017 to July 2018, a total of 61 women in …

Acute pancreatitis is an acute abdominal disease, with 10-20% of the cases deteriorating rapidly, accompanied by persistent organ failure and further development into severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). The aim of the present study was to inve…

Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a rare autosomal-dominant inherited tumor syndrome. We aimed to analyze the correlations between frequent VHL mutations and phenotypes in Chinese VHL families. We screened 540 patients from 187 unrelated C…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is defined as a chronic inflammatory disease. Recent studies have shown that increased coagulation parameters including fibrinogen and platelets are associated with endometriosis. The objective of this study was to…

Abstract Background: Endometriosis is a common disease in reproductive-age women and usually causes pelvic pain. Endometriosis pain is considered as a kind of neuropathic pain and infiltrating nerve fiber in endometriotic lesions may play a…

Impaired decidualization has been considered a major cause of infertility in adenomyosis. However, the mechanism remains poorly understood. Recent studies suggest that microRNAs (miRNA) play a crucial role in embryo implantation. The aim of…

PURPOSE: To identify the disease-causing gene in a family with female infertility and fertilization failure. METHODS: Whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were used to identify the disease-causing gene in a female with infertility …

Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma (OCCC) displays distinctive clinical and molecular characteristics and confers the worst prognosis among all ovarian carcinoma histotypes when diagnosed at advanced stage, because of the lack of effective therap…

BACKGROUND: Embryonic mortality is a major concern in the commercial swine industry and primarily occurs early in gestation, but also during mid-gestation (~ days 50-70). Previous reports demonstrated that the embryonic loss rate was signif…

Protein interactions are crucial for maintaining homeostasis. Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), a transcription factor that interacts with various proteins, is highly expressed in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the cervix. The aim of the presen…
