BackgroundPatients with benign gallbladder diseases (BGBD) in China are characterized by prolonged illness duration, recurrent acute inflammation and poor medical compliance, all increase difficulty of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Com…
RationaleOvarian cystic tumors are common in adult women. However, cases of ovarian cystic tumors approximately 30 cm in diameter are rarely reported in adult women and even rarer in children. Here, we report a rare case of a giant ovarian …
IntroductionOvarian cancer significantly contributes to cancer-related deaths among women. Resistance to anchorage-dependent cell death (anoikis) plays a vital role in facilitating metastasis and worsening patient prognosis. Recent developm…
Ovarian endometrioma (OMA), the most prevalent and clinically consequential subtype of endometriosis, represents a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by ectopic endometrial-like lesions. This condition manifests as progressive dysm…
Postoperative pain management is a critical aspect of perioperative care for patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery. The efficacy of different drug combinations in alleviating postoperative pain varies. Investigating the eff…
INTRODUCTION: Mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a recently recognized, rare subtype of endometrial carcinoma that can also arise in the ovary. Ovarian MLA is uncommon and often misdiagnosed due to its varied growth patterns and overl…
BackgroundTrophoblast cells are a critical component of retained products of conception (RPOC). While mifepristone is widely used as a non-invasive treatment for RPOC, its precise molecular mechanisms in trophoblast regulation remain poorly…
Tubal ciliary movement is one of the essential transport mechanisms for female fertility, playing a key role in facilitating oocyte pickup and transporting the fertilized ovum. This movement is mediated by multiciliated cells and regulated …
Cilia in the fallopian tubes (CFT) play an important role in female infertility, but have not been explored comprehensively. This review reveals the detection techniques for CFT function and morphology, and the related analysis of female in…
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is known to play a crucial role in the development of endometriosis (EMs). However, the exact mechanisms involved in EMT regulation in EMs are not well understood. In this study, we performed comprehe…
BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of intravenous anesthetic drugs on fertilization rate in subjects receiving oocyte retrieval by assisted reproduction technology (ART).MethodsA retrospective cohort study wa…
Aim: To investigate the association between serum homocysteine (HCY) levels, red blood cell folate (RCF) levels, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphism and infertility.Materials & methods: Serum HCY and RCF levels and…
ObjectiveInfertility is associated with obesity. The Body Roundness Index (BRI) is a body measurement index related to obesity that more accurately assesses body and visceral fat levels. However, the relationship between BRI and infertility…
Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) represent a group of rare genetic disorders affecting connective tissues. Globally, approximately 1.5 million individuals suffer from EDS, with 10,000 reported cases in Canada alone. Understanding the histologi…
INTRODUCTION: Microwave ablation (MWA) effectively treats adenomyosis, yet symptom recurrence remains challenging. Thus, our study aims to explore the independent risk factors related to symptom recurrence after MWA of symptomatic adenomyos…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expressions of glycolysis-related factors and changes in Notch1 signaling in endometrial tissues of adenomyosis (AM) and Ishikawa cells to explore the pathogenesis of AM. METHODS: Eutopic endometrial tissues w…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the rules of acupoint selection and pattern-acupoint relationship in treatment with acupuncture and moxibustion for endometriosis (EMs) based on complex network analysis technology. METHODS: The articles for clinical …
Mifepristone, a progesterone receptor antagonist, was initially used to terminate early pregnancy. As scientific research advanced, it emerged to be effective in the treatment of various tumors and tumor-like conditions such as endometriosi…
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecological malignant tumor. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress plays an important role in the malignant behaviors of several tumors. In this study, we established a risk classifier based …
Pain, one of the most important problems in the field of medicine and public health, has great research significance. Opioids are still the main drugs to relieve pain now. However, its application is limited due to its obvious side effects.…
Objective To explore whether nano-vesicles derived from M1 macrophages (M1-NVs) can reprogram M2 macrophages into M1 phenotype and further affect the development of endometriosis (EMS). Methods Extracellular vesicles (EVs) were isolated fro…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis affects many reproductive aged patients with fertility decline and poor outcomes of assisted reproductive treatments, mainly by decreased ovarian reserve and lower fertilization and implantation rates. In recent de…
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the most common acute abdominal diseases characterized by an injury and inflammatory disorder of the pancreas with complicated pathological mechanisms. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play…
