Primary aldosteronism (PA) is associated with a substantially higher cardiovascular risk than essential hypertension, a disparity that cannot be fully explained by blood pressure elevation alone. Clinical studies consistently demonstrate th…

PurposeThis study aimed to construct a simple nomogram model to predict the benign or malignant nature of ovarian masses.MethodsA total of 794 patients with ovarian masses from two independent medical centers between 2017 and 2024 were incl…

OBJECTIVES: Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), a steroid progesterone, is widely used to treat endometriosis, menstrual disorders, and uterine bleeding in clinical practice. However, the safety profile of MPA requires comprehensive evaluati…

ObjectivesThis study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ovarian vein embolization combined with polidocanol sclerotherapy for Venous-origin chronic pelvic pain (VO-CPP) and to elucidate potential risk factors affecting prognosis.Me…

Background and objectiveIleal ureter replacement (IUR) is the definitive management approach for extensive ureteral strictures (UrSs). Patients with UrS exhibit poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We conducted a long-term, multi-in…

ObjectivesEndometrial receptivity lacks robust biomarkers. Given its role in stabilizing the progesterone receptor, the epigenetic regulator BMI1 is a key candidate, yet its clinical potential is undefined. This study aimed to characterize …

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent gynecologic disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Zinc finger protein 143 (ZNF143) is a DNA-binding transcription factor, yet its role in endome…

Few studies explored air pollution's role in female infertility, especially with temperature factors. Investigating these effects is essential given global climate change and declining fertility rates. This retrospective study, conducted in…

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Chinese patent medicines (CPMs), standardized herbal formulations widely used in clinical practice, combined with hormones have shown favorable therapeutic effects in the adjuvant treatment of endometriosis (EMS) aft…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the correlation between Clinical Features and Perinatal Outcomes in the population of pregnancies with adenomyosis. METHODS: This retrospective study analyzed 413 pregnant women with ultrasonography/MRI-confirmed aden…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the different characteristics and maternal-neonatal outcomes of twin and singleton pregnancies complicated by placenta accrete spectrum (PAS). METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 783 singleton and 10…

Curcumin, the principal bioactive compound derived from turmeric, possesses a wide range of therapeutic properties such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties. Recent studies suggest that curcumin may alleviate HMGB…

Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), the most prevalent plasticizer worldwide, can enter the human body via various exposure pathways, including ingestion, inhalation, skin contact, and medical applications. It has been observed to exhibit ch…

The expression and function of the receptor are controlled by epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and noncoding RNAs. These modifications play a pivotal role in receptor activity and can lead to or exacerbate …

BackgroundAcute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas marked by inflammation and acinar cell necrosis. Scutellariae Barbata (S. Barbata), a traditional Chinese herb for inflammation, has unclear efficacy for AP.Purpos…

BACKGROUND: Bisphenol A (BPA), a widespread environmental endocrine disruptor, has raised concerns for its neurotoxic effects, yet its molecular role in stroke remains unclear. METHODS: BPA target genes were retrieved from ChEMBL, DrugBank,…

Primordial follicles form the non-renewable germline reserve in female mammals; their limited number is a key determinant of reproductive lifespan and is crucial for female fertility. Insufficient or parasomnia sleep is common in females, y…

PurposePolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is currently recognized as a condition that affects several systems in the body, including the reproductive, endocrine, and cardiovascular systems. Prevalent among teenagers and women of reproductive …

BACKGROUND: Traumatic separation of the cervix from the body of the uterus is exceedingly rare, particularly as a complication of pelvic fractures. This condition often poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, especially in …

Umbilical endometriosis (UE) is a rare condition. We have documented the clinical characteristics, management strategies, and follow-up results for five cases treated at our hospital between 1998 and 2020, with patients aged between 31 and …

OBJECTIVE: This study is conducted to investigate whether serum microRNA (miR)-141-3p can serve as a biomarker for early-stage diagnosis of endometriosis. METHODS: A total of 246 patients who underwent laparoscopic examination and were dia…

Sterile and infection-associated inflammatory diseases are becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide. Conventional drug therapies often entail significant drawbacks, such as the risk of drug overdose, the development of drug resistance in p…
