OBJECTIVE: To apply an MR-PheWAS to infer causality between NSW and multiple health outcomes. METHODS: This study used MR-PheWAS to assess the causal effects of NSW on 18,115 health traits, applying IVW, MR-Egger, Wald ratio, and sensitivi…

Hydrogels, characterized by their porous network structures and microenvironment-responsive properties, have been widely explored for tumor embolization. Physically or dynamically crosslinked hydrogels-such as ionic, hydrogen-bonded, or sup…

This single-centre retrospective study (100 women with endometrial polyps, mean age 41.8 ± 8.2 years) investigated the association between endometrial polyps and endometriosis. Endometriosis was confirmed in 13 % of patients. Multiple polyp…

Extra-pelvic endometriosis always presents complex diagnostic challenges due to its non-specific symptoms. We describe a rare case of coexisting iatrogenic abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) and thoracic endometriosis (TE) in a 33-year-old …

Female infertility represents a significant reproductive health issue that critically affects global fertility rates. In this study, we utilized the most recent data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2021. Initially, we assessed…

BACKGROUND: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a globally present zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus multilocularis (E. multilocularis) infection, characterized by the formation of tumor-like growths primarily in the liver, with the poten…

OBJECTIVE: This study systematically analyzes the prevalence of sleep disturbance in patients with endometriosis. METHODS: The PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Wanfang, China National Knowledge Internet Database (CNKI), China Science and Te…

BACKGROUND: Accurate preoperative assessment of the efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for uterine fibroids is essential for good treatment results. The aim of this study was to develop robust radiomics models for…

BACKGROUNDS: Vitamin D is considered as a nutrient protecting individuals against an array of diseases based on observational studies. Such a protective effect, however, has not been demonstrated by randomized controlled trials. This study …

INTRODUCTION: Extrauterine endometrial stromal sarcoma (EESS) arising from Deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE) has a poor life quality and is difficult to diagnose pre-operatively. However, the patient's quality of life can be improved when it …

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes vital proteins and RNAs for the normal functioning of the mitochondria. Mutations in mtDNA leading to mitochondrial dysfunction are relevant to a large spectrum of diseases, including fertility disorders. S…

Exosomes extracted from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) was reported to reduce myocardial ischemia/reperfusion damage. Besides, stromal-derived factor 1 (SDF1a) functions as cardiac repair after myocardial infarction (MI). Therefore, the pres…

To evaluate the performance of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM)-diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in differentiating uterine fibroids from focal adenomyosises. Twenty-five uterine fibroids and 21 focal adenomyosises prospectively underwen…

Objective The aim of this study was to analyse the significant variables for vaginal discharge after ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (PMWA) therapy. Materials and methods PMWA was performed on 117 patients with adenomyosis…

Objective. The goal of this study was to explore the clinical value of combining two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) transvaginal contrast-enhanced ultrasounds (CEUS) in diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma (EC). Methods. In this …

PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate a computerized semiautomatic segmentation method for accurate extraction of three-dimensional lesions from dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance images (DCE-MRIs) of the breast. METHODS: The authors …

Objective To investigate the effects of intravenous medication and pelvic perfusion in the treatment of gynecological acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.Methods 120 cases with pelvic inflammatory disease were randomly divided int…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase -2, -3 (MMP-2,-3) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) in internal uterine endometriosis tissue and endometrium from women with and without endometriosis …
