Infertility affects millions of people globally. Although an estimated 1 in 6 couples in Australia are unable to conceive without medical intervention, little is known about the mental health impacts of infertility. This study investigated …

LncRNAs are involved in the pathophysiologic processes of multiple diseases, but little is known about their functions in hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (HIRI). As a novel lncRNA, the pathogenetic significance of hepatic nuclear factor…

Fibroid etiology is poorly understood but is likely hormonally mediated. Therefore, we evaluated associations between midlife phthalates (hormone-altering chemicals) and prior fibroid diagnosis, and considered differences by weight gain sta…

Typical phyllodes tumours (PTs) of the breast are fibroepithelial neoplasms characterised histologically by stromal hypercellularity and leaf-like structures. However, morphological changes may be atypical in some cases, increasing the diff…

Colorectal cancer incidence and mortality have increased in recent years, with more than half of patients who died of colorectal cancer developing liver metastases. Consequently, colorectal cancer liver metastasis is the focus of clinical t…

Natural products, those molecules derived from nature, have been used by humans for thousands of years to treat ailments and diseases. More recently, these compounds have inspired chemists to use natural products as structural templates in …

To apply a network pharmacological approach to explore the targets and possible mechanisms of Kai Yu Zhong Yu Tang (KYZYT) in the treatment of tubal fimbria obstruction. The target information of KYZYT was extracted from TCMSP and HERB data…

Objective: To determine whether stage 1 hypertension and elevated blood pressure (BP), as defined by the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines, prior to pregnancy contributes to adverse pregnanc…

Vascular metabolic dysfunction presents in various diseases, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. Due to the high prevalence of these diseases, it is important to explore treatment strategies to protect vascular fun…

Programmed cell deaths are pathways involving cells playing an active role in their own destruction. Depending on the signaling system of the process, programmed cell death can be divided into two categories, pro-inflammatory and non-inflam…

We report a case of giant hysteromyoma and complex pelvic adhesion treated by robotic assisted laparoscopic total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy. The patient was diagnosed with uterine fibroids after physical examination in 1998 b…

Endometriosis is a chronic disorder characterized by the implantation of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus. However, the pathogenesis of endometriosis is still unclear. To date, there is no fully effective treatment without t…

IOTA (International Ovarian Tumor Analysis) Simple Rules classifies adnexal masses as benign, malignant, or indeterminate based on sonographic features. We seek to determine if IOTA inappropriately directed women to surgery, or more aggress…

The PI3K/AKT/mTOR and RAF/MEK/ERK pathways are commonly activated by mutations and chromosomal translocation in vital targets. The PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway is dysregulated in nearly all kinds of neoplasms, with the component in this …

A growing number of studies have demonstrated that N6 methyladenine (m6A) acts as an important role in the pathogenesis of reproductive diseases. Therefore, it is essential to profile the genome-wide m6A modifications such as in spontaneous…

OBJECTIVE: Endosalpingiosis is a poorly understood condition of ectopic epithelium resembling the fallopian tubes. It has been described as an incidental pathology finding, a disease similar to endometriosis, and in association with maligna…

Previous studies have shown that circular RNAs are directly or indirectly involved in the occurrence of various diseases by regulating gene expression. However, the acting mechanism of circular RNAs in endometritis remains unclear. In this …

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the maternal−neonatal outcomes of twin pregnancies of mothers with preeclampsia and their association with assisted reproductive technology (ART). Methods: A retrospective study on the clinical and…

BACKGROUND: Preeclampsia (PE) occurs in the second half of pregnancy and contributes to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Ferritin plays a key role in pregnancy, but the underlying mechanisms of its involvement in PE remain el…

In a normal pregnancy, maternal circulatory system presents a hypercoagulable state due to the effect of hormone secretion. Even minor variations in fibrinolytic system could lead to hyper- or hypofibrinolysis, affecting placental formation…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to systematically summarize and form an expert consensus on the theoretical experience of tongue and facial features for the identification of nine types of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitutio…

Previous studies showed that the chemotherapeutic effect of temozolomide (TMZ) and vincristine (VCR) against glioma might be blunted by the co-culture with astrocytes, and connexin-43 (CX43) was thought to play a vital role in the communica…

Background: Chromosome 19 open reading frame 10 (C19orf10) is a myocardial repair mediator overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma. However, its function and clinical value in bladder cancer (BC) have not been reported. This study aimed t…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical outcomes of dydrogesterone (DYG) and medroxyprogesterone (MPA) in the progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol for patients with poor ovarian response (POR). PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a r…

BACKGROUND: The use of frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles has dramatically risen. The optimal endometrial preparation method for women undergoing FET is of utmost importance to provide the optimal chances of pregnancy. For patients with ab…
