OBJECTIVES: To investigate changes in brain-glucose metabolism in anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis, and compare results with MRI and electroencephalography (EEG) findings at different disease stages. METHODS: The cli…

Adenomyosis is a diffuse or localized organic disease caused by benign invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium. It is a common disease that seriously affects reproductive health of women in childbearing age. Due to the…

INTRODUCTION: Stage IB (deep myometrial invasion) high-grade endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EA), regardless of LVSI status, is classified into high-intermediate risk groups, requiring surgical lymph node staging. Intraoperative frozen section…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate alterations in serum metabolites during endometrial transformation and possible associations with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) in hormonal replacement therapy (HRT)-frozen embryo…

Endometriosis is a serious, chronic disorder where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, causing severe pelvic pain and infertility. It affects 11% of women. Endometriosis is a multifactorial disorder of unclear etiology, although re…

Advanced and recurrent gynecological cancers lack effective treatment and have poor prognosis. Besides, there is urgent need for conservative treatment for fertility protection of young patients. Therefore, continued efforts are needed to f…

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a special histological type of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) that is not derived from epithelial cells of the ovarian or fallopian tube as the most common type of ovarian cancer, high-grade serous ov…

Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) is a chemical softener and plasticizer commonly used in toys, food packaging, wallpaper, detergents and shampoos. The estrogenic actions of BBP have detrimental effects on humans and animals. In this study, the …

Considerable evidence shows that oxidative stress exists in the pathophysiological process of female reproductive system diseases. At present, there have been many studies on oxidative stress of placenta during pregnancy, especially for pre…

Tumor models in vitro are conventional methods for developing anti-cancer drugs, evaluating drug delivery, or calculating drug efficacy. However, traditional cell line-derived tumor models are unable to capture the tumor heterogeneity in pa…

Adenomyosis is a uterine condition in which endometrial glands and stroma are commonly pathologically observed in the myometrium. In this study, we sought to determine the effect of resveratrol on the progression of adenomyosis. Adenomyosis…

Endometrial cancer (EC) is a malignancy of the inner epithelial lining of the uterus. While early-stage EC is often curable through surgery, the management of advanced, recurrent and metastatic EC poses significant challenges and is associa…

Indocyanine green is a near-infrared fluorescent dye which is widely used in various fields of surgery and gynecology. It is currently mainly used to detect various malignant tumors, sentinel lymph nodes, endometriosis lesions, ureter or in…

BACKGROUND: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is one of the most common causes of female infertility and the etiology is highly heterogeneous. Most cases are idiopathic and the pathogenesis remains unclear. Previous studies proved that …

OBJECTIVE: To explore the cycle characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) using fixed versus degressive doses of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) in conjunction with letrozole (LE) in infertile w…

BACKGROUND: In an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle, the embryo ends its wandering time and begins the process of implantation into the uterine cavity on the seventh day after oocyte pick-up (OPU + 7), which is closer than OPU + 5 to the t…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis, a benign inflammatory disease whereby endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterus, is a risk factor for endometriosis-associated ovarian cancers. In particular, ovarian endometriomas, cystic lesions of deep…

BACKGROUND: The effect of GuizhiFuling Wan (GFW) on adenomyosis (AM) is definite. This study aimed to explore the mechanism and key therapeutic targets of GFW in treating AM through network pharmacology combined with molecular docking and e…

PURPOSE: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease, but its pathogenesis and treatment options are not yet completely clear. This study aimed to investigate the analgesic effect of berberine on tamoxifen-induced neonatal mouse adenomyos…

Abstract Objective To investigate the expression of nuclear actor-k-gene binding(NF-κB) and immediate early response 3(IER3) in nuclear factor-activated B cells in ovarian endometrioid cysts. To analyze the correlation between the express…

BACKGROUND: Poor decidualization and abnormal autophagy conditions in the endometria of adenomyosis patients have been reported previously. However, the specific regulatory mechanism of decidualization in adenomyosis and its relationship wi…

BACKGROUND: To examine and compare the differences in clinical characteristics and long-term postoperative outcomes of ovarian endometriomas (OMA) patients with and without dysmenorrhea, including data from at least 8 years of postoperative…

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas. A growing number of studies have shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in AP progression. Here, we aimed to elucidate the role of Small Nucleolar …

Understanding the function of non-coding genomic sequence variants represents a challenge for biomedicine. Many diseases are products of gene-by-environment interactions with complex mechanisms. This study addresses these themes by mechanis…

BACKGROUND: GnRH agonist (GnRHa) pretreatment before the frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) was increasingly utilized. However, the incidence of GnRHa-induced functional ovarian cysts (FC) was inevitable. The feasibility and efficacy of HC…
