OBJECTIVE: Adenomyosis is a debilitating gynecologic condition. The present study aimed to compare the effects of laparoscopic total hysterectomy (LTH) and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) on pain relief, menstrual blood loss, and s…

Ovarian cancer poses a significant clinical challenge due to its asymptomatic onset and poor prognosis, highlighting the critical need for effective early detection strategies. This study developed a framework that integrates serum proteomi…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder with a complex pathogenesis that includes disordered follicle development, hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis dysfunction, hyperandrogenemia, and insulin resistance. The…

BACKGROUND: Direct comparative data on postoperative sexual function between laparoscopic total hysterectomy (LTH) and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in adenomyosis (AM) remain limited; therefore, this retrospective study compared…

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have revealed that the anti-inflammatory properties of vitamin D may play a role in pain regulation. To systematically map the global research landscape on vitamin D and chronic or idiopathic pain from 2000 to 202…

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) mainly depends on liver fibrosis/cirrhosis, which is regulated by tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME), and is a crucial factor in tumor progression. This study aimed to identify abnormally express…

BACKGROUND: Hysteroscopic septum resection has been a widespread technique throughout the world in women with a septate uterus. The effectiveness of hysteroscopic septum resection before IVF was equivocal. This study aimed to investigate wh…
