BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMT) is a common disease in reproductive-age woman and Crohn disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder in gastrointestinal tract. Previous studies reported that patients with EMT had an increased risk of CD.…
BACKGROUND: Numerous observational studies and randomized controlled trials have recently revealed the associations between circulating antioxidants and the risk of endometriosis, while the underlying causal relationship remains unclear. Th…
BACKGROUND: Placental anomalies, including placenta previa (PP), placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAS), and vase previa (VP), are associated with several adverse foetal-neonatal and maternal complications. However, there is still a lack…
Mucinous ovarian cancer (MOC) is characterized by high malignancy, poor prognosis and a high recurrence rate. Surgical adjuvant chemotherapy is the main treatment for MOC. The recurrence rate of advanced mucinous ovarian cancer following s…
PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of heterogeneity in patient indications or insemination protocols on neonatal outcomes of singletons following early rescue ICSI (rICSI) treatments. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted. Propensit…
BACKGROUND: An important factor in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is chronic low-grade inflammation. However, the exact pathophysiology of PCOS is currently unknown, which makes clinical diagnosis and the development o…
To present our experience with laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy with bladder flap (LUCBF) for treating benign ureteral stenosis and evaluate its feasibility and efficacy. The clinical data of 27 patients with benign ureteral stenosis who u…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether using Zishen Yutai Pills (ZYP) following embryo transfer would affect the live birth rate in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on 15044 FET cycles …
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does LncRNA BANCR promote the malignant transformation of endometriosis by activating the miR-612/CPNE3 pathway? DESIGN: The expression patterns of BANCR, miR-612 and CPNE3 in normal endometrium, eutopic endometrium from…
BACKGROUND: Ferroptosis, a recently discovered iron-dependent cell death, is linked to various diseases but its role in endometriosis is still not fully understood. METHODS: In this study, we integrated microarray data of endometriosis fro…
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether MRI can predict the necessity of rectosigmoid resection (RR) for optimal debulking surgery (ODS) in ovarian cancer (OC) patients and to compare the predictive accuracy of pre- and post-neoadjuvant chemothera…
This prospective pilot cohort study aimed to ascertain the optimal duration of progesterone supplementation prior to frozen embryo transfer (FET) in women undergoing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) cycles. A total of 127 participants were…
P21-activated kinase 5 (PAK5) belongs to the PAK-II subfamily, which is an important regulator of cell survival, adhesion, and motility. However, the functions of PAK5 in endometriosis remain unclear. Here, PAK5 is strikingly upregulated in…
STUDY QUESTION: What was the performance of different pretreatment prediction models for IVF, which were developed based on UK/US population (McLernon 2016 model, Luke model, Dhillon model, and McLernon 2022 model), in wider populations? S…
BACKGROUND: Rare ginsenosides (Rg3, Rh2, C-K, etc.) refer to a group of dammarane triterpenoids that exist in low natural abundance, mostly produced by deglycosylation or side chain modification via physicochemical processing or metabolic t…
Rhein is a natural active ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine that has attracted much attention due to its wide range of pharmacological activities. However, its clinical application is limited by low water solubility, poor oral abso…
BACKGROUND: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common gynecological issue during reproductive years. Researches on how dietary diversity and patterns influence AUB in Chinese university students are limited, with some studies not clearly …
BACKGROUND: Serum tumor markers (STM), extensively used for the diagnosis, monitoring and prognostic assessment of tumors, can be increased in some non-malignant lung diseases. To date, there is a paucity of studies regarding the clinical c…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis patients exhibit a cancer-like glycolytic phenotype. The pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2)/hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) axis plays important roles in glycolysis-related diseases, but its role in patients with …
BACKGROUND: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have greatly improved cancer treatment, but the role of genes related to T cell-mediated tumor killing (TTK) sensitivity in ovarian cancer (OV) is unclear. METHODS: This study analyzed 1367 O…
PURPOSE: With urbanization and industrialization process accelerated, humans are exposed more and more trace elements. This study aimed to explore the potential associations of trace elements with the outcomes of in vitro fertilization embr…
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is involved in most biological processes and actively participates in the regulation of reproduction. According to recent research, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their m6A modifications are involved in reproduc…
BACKGROUND: Accurate 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 tr…
PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the efficacy of a multimodal, outpatient neuromuscular protocol in treating remaining sensitization and myofascial pain in endometriosis patients post-surgical excision. PATIENTS AND METHOD…
