OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the factors associated with complications and long-term results in the surgical treatment of intestinal deep endometriosis and to figure out the optimized treatment measures for bowel endometriosis. M…

PurposeClear cell adenocarcinoma of the cervix (CCAC) is a rare pathological type of cervical cancer. This study aimed to report our clinical experience with CCAC treatment and analyze the factors associated with patient survival.Patients a…

Carcinosarcoma, also known as malignant Mullerian mixed tumour, is a rare and aggressive ovarian malignant tumour. The prognosis of ovarian carcinosarcoma is very poor, accounting for the vast majority of ovarian cancer deaths. Due to the r…

Objective: Due to high levels of serum gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), perimenopausal or menopausal women, girls with central precocious puberty, women of polycystic ovary syndrome, and females receiving long-term GnRH agonist (GnRHa…

To evaluate the relationship between the initial follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) dose and the number of available cleavage-stage embryos in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles.We included 8772 fresh IVF cycles using a GnRH antagonist pro…

This investigation probed endometriosis treatment using targeted nanoparticles (NPs) to modulate autophagic activity. To that end, a novel form of polymer-based NP gene delivery platform consisting of polyethyleneimine (PEI) conjugated to s…

BACKGROUND: To identify autophagy- and immune-related hub genes affecting the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis. METHODS: Gene expression data were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) (GSE11691 and GSE120103 for traini…

IntroductionAcute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease with very poor outcomes. However, the order of induction and coordinated interactions of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and compensatory anti-inflammatory respon…

BackgroundOvarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is an uncommon subtype of epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) that is often diagnosed at an earlier stage in younger women. It remains uncertain whether adjuvant chemotherapy improves the prognos…

The vagina contains at least a billion microbial cells, dominated by lactobacilli. Here we perform metagenomic shotgun sequencing on cervical and fecal samples from a cohort of 516 Chinese women of reproductive age, as well as cervical, fec…

BackgroundSpontaneous abortions (SA) is amongst the most common complications associated with pregnancy in humans, and the underlying causes cannot be identified in roughly half of SA cases. We found miR-135a-5p to be significantly upregula…

This study aims to explore the molecular mechanism of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification-related long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)-microRNA (miRNA)-messenger RNA (mRNA) network in regulating autophagy and affecting the occurrence and developme…

Immune responses are an integral part of the pathogenesis of pancreatitis. Studies applying the mouse model of pancreatitis induced by partial ligation of the pancreatic duct to explore the pancreatic immune microenvironment are still lacki…

In the present study, we investigated the potential of nitrite exposure to induce infertility in mice. Adult female C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control and nitrite exposure groups. Subsequently, the rate of mouse infertility wa…

PurposeTo investigate the impact of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccination on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes.Patients and methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 2185 patients undergoing fresh IVF cycles from June 1st to Septembe…

ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy of progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) combined with clomiphene citrate (CC) versus PPOS protocol used alone on cycle characteristics and pregnancy outcomes for women with the poor ovarian response (…

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to summarize and analyze clinical characteristics and reproductive outcomes in postoperative deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included 55 reproductive-aged patients…

IntroductionMagnetic resonance-high intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) has revolutionized the treatment of Uterine fibroids. Usually, they are associated with prolonged heavy bleeding during the menstrual period, sacral pain, and increa…

BackgroundIt was suggested that vaccination in general might affect reproductive health. Safety of COVID-19 vaccination in women undergoing assisted reproductive techniques (ART) treatment is not well established.MethodsWe performed a retro…

BACKGROUND: The abnormality of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) can contribute to endometriosis pathogenesis. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) possess critical roles in endometriosis pathogenesis. Here, we defined the activity and mechanism of huma…

BackgroundWe aimed to map and describe the current state of Mendelian randomization (MR) literature on cancer risk and to identify associations supported by robust evidence.MethodsWe searched PubMed and Scopus up to 06/10/2020 for MR studie…

BackgroundLittle is known regarding life-course trajectories of important diseases. We aimed to identify diseases that were strongly associated with mortality and test temporal trajectories of these diseases before mortality.MethodsOur anal…

Triptorelin is one of the most commonly used gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists and has been used in the treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of up to 24 weeks of trip…

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a non-protein-coding RNA with a length of more than 200 nucleotides. Studies have shown that lncRNAs have vital impacts on various pathological processes and participate in the development of human diseases, …

BACKGROUND: Many factors can affect the recurrence of endometriosis after surgery, however, whether endometriotic cyst fluid contributes to endometriosis recurrence after surgical excision of ovarian endometriomas remains unclear. The objec…
