Ovarian cancer is an important leading cause of cancer-related deaths among females, and a single biomarker does not have the sensitivity and specificity required for an effective ovarian cancer screening. Herein, we investigate a high-perf…

OBJECTIVE: The association of chronic non-malignant pain (CNP) with dyslipidemia is unclear. This retrospective study was performed to evaluate the association between CNP and dyslipidemia in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures (FN…

Endoscopic optical imaging technologies for the detection and evaluation of dysplasia and early cancer have made great strides in recent decades. With the capacity of in vivo early detection of subtle lesions, they allow modern endoscopists…

Introduction: Combined malonic and methylmalonic aciduria (CMAMMA) is a rare metabolic disease caused by biallelic variants in ACSF3 gene. The clinical phenotype is highly heterogeneous in this disorder, ranging from asymptomatic to severe …

BackgroundA large number of studies have shown that ulcerative colitis (UC) can increase the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). The purpose of the present study was to explore the specific mechanism of UC influence on CRC.MethodsWe searched P…

Background: Endometriosis-related pleural effusion (PE) is a relatively rare but treatable cause of bloody PE. The clinical characteristics and outcome of patients with endometriosis-related PE remain unknown. Objectives: We present a case …

Predisposition of germline BRCA1/2 mutations (gBRCAMUT ) increases the risk of breast and ovarian cancer in females, but the mutation prevalence and spectrum are highly ethnicity-specific with different recurrent mutations being reported in…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the value of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)/computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in differentiating benign and malignant ovarian or adnexal tumors. MATERIALS AND MET…

BACKGROUND: Accumulating evidence supports the pivotal role of intestinal flora in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Serotonin synthesis by enterochromaffin (EC) cells is influenced by the gut microbiota and has been reported to have an inter…

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in the development of ovarian cancer (OC). The present study aimed to explore the roles of long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1094 (LINC01094) in OC. LINC01094 and microRNA (miR)-532-3p express…

OBJECTIVES: To determine the risk of having OSA in a cohort of female subjects who are infertile and the odds of being infertile in women with OSA. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A nationwide, case-control study of female patients 20 years or older…

The pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by granulosa cell (GC) dysfunction. m6 A modification affects GC function in patients with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), but the role of m6 A modification in …

BACKGROUND: Molecular analyses of vitamin D in a typical cycling endometrium has received minimal research attention in the reproductive field. This study was designed to assess how expression of the endometrial vitamin D receptor (VDR) and…

Adhesion is a postoperative complication that has plagued gynecologists for many years, as 60-90% of gynecological patients develop adhesions after abdominopelvic surgeries. Abdominopelvic adhesions could lead to chronic pelvic pain, infert…

Clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare variant of urinary bladder carcinoma with a glycogen-rich phenotype and unknown prognosis. Using the National Cancer Institute's surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) program database, …

PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of several parameters, including the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) obtained from preoperative routine blood examination, either alone or as an adjunct to the carbohydrate antigen 1…

A 45-year-old female with a history of hypertension presented with complaints of intermittent vision loss and blurred vision. Clinical examination revealed diffuse retinal whitening in the peripapillary area with multiple visible emboli in …

RESEARCH QUESTION: Using RNA-sequencing analysis, we investigated the relationship between ovarian stimulation and endometrial transcriptome profiles during the window of implantation (WOI) to identify candidate predictive factors for the W…

BACKGROUND: Dienogest provided significantly greater reduction in endometriosis-associated pelvic pain (EAPP) than placebo in a 24-week, randomized, double-blind study of Chinese women with endometriosis. The current open-label extension st…

PURPOSE: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has the potential to be an effective therapeutic strategy for pancreatic cancer (PC). However, owing to the high malignancy and poor prognosis of PC, the use of HIFU therapy alone is not suf…

Although deqi, the phenomenon whereby excitation of Qi in the meridians occurs with needling, is critical to the practice of acupuncture and its efficacy, it is poorly understood. So we investigate the influence of the deqi sensation on the…

Objective: To investigate whether circulating LH levels could be used as an indicator for the timing of antagonist addition in GnRH antagonist protocol. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: University-based hospital. Patients: A tot…

OBJECTIVE: Mitochondrial homeostasis is vital for the progression of lung cancer. Nurr1 has been identified as a novel mediator of mitochondrial homeostasis in several types of cancers. The aim of our study was to investigate whether Nurr1 …

Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma (OCCC) displays distinctive clinical and molecular characteristics and confers the worst prognosis among all ovarian carcinoma histotypes when diagnosed at advanced stage, because of the lack of effective therap…

microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous short, non-coding RNAs that regulate a multitude of genes at the post-transcriptional level. miR-199, which is a highly conserved miRNA family, consists of miR-199a and miR-199b. Researchers main…
