BackgroundPeriampullary tumors (PT) may rarely present as acute pancreatitis (AP) or acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP). Unlike other cases of AP and ARP, these conditions necessitate pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), and timely diagnosis is cr…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence and the related characteristics of oligomenorrhea among women within childbearing age in China. STUDY DESIGN: A large-scale community-based investigation was conducted from 2013 to 2015. A total of …
OBJECTIVE: To compare signs and symptoms between patients with recurrent ectopic pregnancies (REP) and primary ectopic pregnancies (PEP) and to identify potential risk factors of REP. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data from 2014 to 2016 were anal…
Abstract Background: Adenomyosis (AM) is a common benign chronic gynaecological disorder; however, the precise pathogenesis of adenomyosis is still poorly understood. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) can uncover rare subpopulations, …
Mitochondrial fission is associated with cardiomyocyte death and myocardial depression, and suppressor of ras val-2 (SRV2) is a newly discovered pro-fission protein. In this study, we examined the mechanisms of SRV2-mediated mitochondrial f…
BackgroundExternal socking and washing with the Chinese herbal Sanhuang Jiedu decoction (SHJD) can effectively control local limb infections with bone and implant exposure. However, the antibiofilm activities of this decoction in vitro have…
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been reported to be involved in many diseases. But there is no report on circRNAs in non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). The purpose of this paper is to explore the circular RNA expression profile and potential …
IMPORTANCE: It remains uncertain whether vitamin C routinely used with oral iron supplements is essential for patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA). OBJECTIVE: To compare the equivalence and assess the safety of oral iron supplements …
Rs11614913 in pri-miR-196a-2 is involved in the occurrence of many diseases, especially in cancers. However, it remains unknown whether miR-196a-2 is associated with human recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) in Chinese Han population. Our …
Endometriosis occurs when endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterine cavity, leading to pelvic pain, infertility, and increased risk of ovarian cancer. The present study describes the optimization and characterization of cellular sph…
STUDY QUESTION: Do changes in tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8)-like 2 (TIPE2) levels in endometrium of patients with adenomyosis alter the proliferation, migration and invasion ability of endometrial cells? SUMMARY ANSWE…
BACKGROUND: The transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) applied in gynecology has been developed recent years and been evolving. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility and effect of the vNOTES hyst…
Mullerian adenosarcoma (MAS) is a biphasic tumor with malignant stroma. It is most commonly of endometrial origin but occasionally originates in the cervix, ovary, or other pelvic/peritoneal sites. The typical MAS is low grade with an indol…
Epigenetic changes are important for understanding complex trait variation and inheritance in pigs that are also a valuable biomedical model for human health research. Testis is the main organ for reproduction and boar taint in pigs; howeve…
The extent to which factors affect the probability of clinical pregnancy in the first fresh embryo transfer after assisted conception is unknown. In order to examine the predictors of clinical pregnancy, a retrospective cohort study was lau…
To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of pelvic masses after hysterectomy for benign diseases, and to analyze the related factors of benign and malignant pelvic masses.This study retrospectively analyzed the patients undergone …
BACKGROUND: The serum tumor markers has been widely used in ovarian cancer diagnosis. BRCA1/2 germline mutations are the most common predisposing factors for ovarian cancer development. This study aimed to comprehensively investigate serum …
OBJECTIVE: To assess the utility of hematologic, inflammatory, and immunologic biomarkers for differentiating between ovarian cancer and endometriosis. METHODS: Data were retrospectively reviewed from women diagnosed with ovarian cancer an…
Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder with enigmatic etiopathogenesis and is characterized by tumor-like biological behaviors. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been recognized as a core mechanism of endometriosis. Recent…
Programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) has been identified as a tumor‑suppressor gene that inhibits neoplastic transformation, tumor progression, and protein translation. It has been reported that multiple factors participate in the regulation of …
BACKGROUND: Vitamin D plays critical role in the female reproductive system. It seems that vitamin D is associated with clinical pregnancy outcomes of assisted reproductive technologies (ART), but its role remains elusive. This study is aim…
OBJECTIVES: To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of subsequent pelvic masses after hysterectomy for benign diseases, and to compare the masses following hysterectomy with or without simultaneous bilateral salpingectomy. METHO…
RATIONALE: Recurrent massive hemorrhagic ascites secondary to endometriosis is extremely rare in the medical literature. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report the case of a 24-year-old nulliparous woman presenting with severe abdominal distention, m…
AIM: As RNA, which plays a role in the regulation of endometrial receptivity, can be modulated via ceRNA mechanisms, we constructed a ceRNA network to explore potential RNA/ceRNA biomarkers indicating endometrial receptivity associated with…
This study was employed to explore the potential biomarkers of endometriosis of cold coagulation and blood stasis (ECB) model rats and the effective mechanism of action of paeoniflorin (PF). The serum metabolomics approach was carried out u…
