Despite decades of research, endometriosis remains a mysterious gynecological disease with unknown etiology and pathogenesis. Krüppel-like Factor 6 (KLF6), a transcription factor, has a wide expression profile and regulates a variety of bio…
RationaleAn accessory ovary complicated by cystic teratoma and torsion is extremely rare and requires prompt diagnosis and surgical treatment. However, evidence for effective preoperative imaging diagnosis has barely been reported. Our stud…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is considered as a precancerous lesion for OCCC; however its prognostic significance remains controversial. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic significance of endometriosis in patients with ovarian clear …
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the short-term and long-term efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy for abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) and explore its potential influencing factors…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the etiological distribution of hydronephrosis caused by upper urinary tract obstruction in adult patients and to improve the diagnostic accuracy for this condition. METHODS: The clinical information of adult pati…
BackgroundPelvic floor myofascial pain is one of the pelvic floor dysfunction diseases disturbing women after delivery. There is a lack of objective standardization for the diagnosis of pelvic floor myofascial pain due to the various sympto…
This study aimed to investigate the expression and significance of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) and extracellular matrix (ECM) related proteins in anterior vaginal wall tissues among aged pelvic organ prolapse (POP)…
Tjalma's syndrome is a benign combination of ascites, pleural effusion, and elevated CA-125 occurring in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Reports of Tjalma's syndrome are scarce. An elevated CA-125 level often suggests the possib…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic estrogen-dependent condition characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, posing a significant burden on reproductive-aged women. Previous research has shown a corr…
Abstract Background: N6-methyladenosine(m6A) modification regulates the processes of RNA splicing, subcellular localization, translation and stability by changing the RNA structure and the interaction between RNA and RNA-binding proteins to…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a prevalent gynecological disorder frequently associated with irregular menstruation and infertility. Programmed cell death (PCD) is pivotal in the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying EM. Despite this,…
In female mammals, the proliferation and apoptosis of granulosa cells (GCs) have been shown to determine the fate of follicles. DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and SLCO3A1 have been reported to be involved in the survival of GCs and follicul…
RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the metabolic characteristics of follicular fluid in patients with ovarian endometriosis undergoing IVF? DESIGN: This was an exploratory cohort study on endometriosis. In total, 19 infertile patients with ovaria…
Emerging evidence recognizes aberrant glycosylation as the malignant characteristics of cancer cells, but little is known about glycogenes' roles in endometrial carcinoma (EC), especially the most aggressive subtype carrying TP53 mutations.…
PurposeThe window of implantation (WOI) is a brief period during which the endometrium is receptive to embryo implantation. This study investigated the relationship between miR-135a-5p and endometrial receptivity.MethodsPeripheral blood was…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic inflammatory disease frequently associated with infertility. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation, the most common form of methylation in eukaryotic mRNAs, has gained attention in the study of female reprodu…
INTRODUCTION: Microwave ablation (MWA) effectively treats adenomyosis, yet symptom recurrence remains challenging. Thus, our study aims to explore the independent risk factors related to symptom recurrence after MWA of symptomatic adenomyos…
While the mechanisms by which tea consumption hinders iron absorption are well understood, tea-related anemia usually stems from prolonged and excessive intake, which obstructs iron absorption and depletes the body's iron reserves. Conseque…
PurposeWith 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 embryo…
Follicle development refers to the process in which the follicles in the ovary gradually develop from the primary stage to a mature state, and most primary follicles fail to develop normally, without forming a dense granular cell layer and …
Urinary tract cells respond to bladder distension by releasing adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Patients with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) exhibit elevated urinary ATP levels compared to asymptomatic controls. This stud…
Study questionTo construct prediction models based on the Bayesian network (BN) learning method for the probability of fertilization failure (including low fertilization rate [LRF] and total fertilization failure [TFF]) in assisted reproduc…
The quality and maturation of an oocyte not only play decisive roles in fertilization and embryo success, but also have long-term impacts on the later growth and development of the fetus. Female fertility declines with age, reflecting a dec…
