Pain assessment is fundamental in pain medicine, anesthesiology, perioperative care, and clinical trials, yet it remains difficult to standardize across diseases, populations, and care settings. This review organizes pain assessment into fo…
ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intratumoral ethanol injection followed by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for hyperintense uterine fibroids on T2-weighted magnetic resonance images …
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are both chronic inflammatory disorders with overlapping clinical features, suggesting a potentially shared etiology. Although epidemiological studies have reported an ass…
From a pathophysiological standpoint, adolescence is the critical period for the establishment, stabilization, and maturation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis. In the 1-2 years following menarche, coinciding with the establi…
Sleep disorders and deficiencies can up-regulate pro-inflammatory mediators, but their potential adverse impact on ovarian function remains not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the immunoregulatory mechanisms underlying slee…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a disease related to reproductive dysfunction. The mechanism of epigenetic factors (EF) in EM still needs to be studied. Emerging evidence suggests that EF plays a role in the development of EM. However, th…
Ovarian cancer (OC) is a leading cause of gynecologic cancer mortality, with survival prediction limited by existing prognostic models that fail to capture tumor heterogeneity. Conventional methods lack precision for individualized risk ass…
Neurogenic bladder (NB)-induced fibrosis is the major cause of irreversible bladder dysfunction, yet the underlying mechanisms remain undefined. Here, leveraging single-cell RNA sequencing, the fibrotic landscape of NB is delineated and a d…
Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecologic disorder that significantly impacts women's health. However, its underlying pathogenesis remains unknown. This study aimed to ascertain causal associations between plasma protein levels and endometri…
Background and aimsMenstrual disorders are closely related to the disorder of gut microbiota. This study aims to explore the impact of Washed microbiota transplantation (WMT) on the quality of life, depression and anxiety scale scores, and …
Acute pancreatitis is a complex inflammatory disease with high morbidity and mortality, closely associated with intestinal barrier dysfunction, gut microbiota dysbiosis and abnormal lipid metabolism. Akkermansia muciniphila has been shown t…
Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is an endogenous fatty acid amide that has garnered significant attention due to its potential multiple antitumor mechanisms. This review first explores the current statuses and challenges faced in tumor preventi…
BACKGROUND: Gynecological diseases, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis, are prevalent global health concerns. Conventional diagnostics often rely on invasive procedures or costly imaging, limiting accessibility in re…
Filamentous fungi exhibit high heavy metal resistance; elucidating their resistance mechanisms is of practical importance for fungal utilization and for engineering other microorganisms. However, the molecular basis of copper tolerance in f…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 11%-13% of reproductive-age women worldwide and is pathologically associated with granulosa cell dysfunction. This study employed transcriptome sequencing of granulosa cells from PCOS patients and no…
BACKGROUND: The SRU consensus on pelvic ultrasound proposed standardized augmented ultrasound, but its validity and indirect signs' role require validation. This study will explore the application value of this consensus in deep endometrios…
ObjectiveTo evaluate whether vitamin D supplementation improves live birth rates in women with polycystic ovary syndrome undergoing in vitro fertilisation.DesignMulticentre, double blind, placebo controlled, randomised clinical trial.Settin…
Infertility remains a global challenge, with female factors accounting for the majority of cases. Endometrial receptivity (ER), the ability of the endometrium to accept and support embryo implantation, is a critical determinant of successfu…
Adenomyoma originating from the round ligament of the uterus represents a remarkably uncommon pathological entity. Considering the anatomical course of the round ligament through the inguinal canal, pathological lesions in this structure ma…
BACKGROUND: Long-acting Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs(GnRHa), including leuprolide, goserelin, histrelin, buserelin, triptorelin, have been widely used for a variety of diseases including prostate cancer, breast cancer, endometrios…
ObjectiveTo identify the determinants influencing clinical pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent FET at the Department of Reproductive Geneti…
Endometriosis is caused by the migration of endometrial cells to locations outside the uterine lining. Despite the increasing prevalence of endometriosis, there has been limited research on genetic effects, and its molecular mechanisms rema…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian endometriosis cysts are common gynecological conditions and are mostly benign. While many cysts resolve spontaneously, symptomatic or persistent cysts often require interventions. Laparoscopic cystectomy and ultrasound-g…
BackgroundAssessing plasma volume is important in the management and treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Although it is an easy and rapid method for estimating the plasma volume, the association between estimated plasma volume sta…
BackgroundCarotenoids, known for their antioxidant properties and potential health benefits, have attracted considerable attention. Nonetheless, the association between carotenoid levels and gallstone prevalence has not been adequately expl…
