RESEARCH QUESTION: Is the microRNA miR-145 involved in adenomyosis, and by what mechanisms does it affect disease development and is itself regulated? DESIGN: Fluorescence in-situ hybridization was used to observe the expression pattern of…
BackgroundThe etiology of premature ovarian insufficiency, that is, the loss of ovarian activity before 40 years of age, is complex. Studies suggest that genetic factors are involved in 20-25% of cases. The aim of this study was to explore …
Microglial activation and polarization play a central role in poststroke inflammation and neuronal damage. Modulating microglial polarization from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory phenotype is a promising therapeutic strategy for the t…
INTRODUCTION: Over the past decades, immune dysregulation has been consistently demonstrated being common charactoristics of endometriosis (EM) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in numerous studies. However, the underlying pathological m…
BACKGROUND Tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs) are implicated in the survival of ovarian cancer (OVCA) patients, but their prognostic significance in advanced or metastatic OVCA patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCAT) has …
Infertility presents a widespread challenge for many families worldwide, often arising from various gynecological diseases (GDs) that hinder successful pregnancies. Current diagnostic methods for GDs have disadvantages such as low efficienc…
BackgroundPre-clinical studies showed the anti-tumor mechanisms of PARP inhibitors (PARPi) and platinum have some crossover and overlap in the DNA damage repair pathway, patients who respond to platinum-based chemotherapy are also more like…
Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that certain of the Transwell invasion assay data shown in Figs. 2C and 4B were strikingly similar to data appearing in different form in …
The HOXA genes, belonging to the HOX family, encompass 11 members (HOXA1-11) and exert critical functions in early embryonic development, as well as various adult processes. Furthermore, dysregulation of HOXA genes is implicated in genetic …
Ovaries are essential for healthy female reproduction, with the follicles as their fundamental functional units, which consist of an oocyte and surrounding granulosa cells. The development and formation of follicles in the ovaries are close…
BackgroundPain is a major challenge in performing ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (PMWA) of uterine myomas. Inadequate analgesia by local anesthetics hinders the possibility of conducting PMWA of uterine myomas in the Ambu…
Endometrial cancer (EC) is a highly heterogeneous malignancy characterized by varied pathology and prognoses, and the heterogeneity of its cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME) remains poorly understood. We conducted single-cell…
An accessory cavitated uterine mass (ACUM) is a very rare obstructive genital malformation characterized by pelvic pain and severe dysmenorrhea. It is easily mistaken for other obstructive genital malformations in women, such as cystic uter…
BackgroundThe Life's Simple 7 (LS7) metric is a comprehensive measure of cardiovascular health (CVH) that encompasses seven distinct risk factors and behaviors associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Some studies have shown an associa…
Endometriosis, identified by the abnormal growth of endometrial cells beyond the inner lining of the uterus, often manifests through symptoms like painful menstruation and challenges in conceiving. Observational studies suggest that endomet…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is considered as a systemic disease with the presence of proinflammatory cytokines in the circulation, which drives hypercoagulable state of endometriosis. Currently, endometriosis is classified into four stages: I…
Abstract Background Endometriosis is considered as a systemic disease with the presence of proinflammatory cytokines in the circulation, which drives hypercoagulable state. Currently, endometriosis is classified into four stages: I (minimal…
ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to verify the clinical predictive performance of methylated cysteine dioxygenase type 1 (CDO1m) and CUGBP Elav-like family member 4 (CELF4m) in endometrial cancer (EC) women with postmenopausal bleed…
BackgroundWith the increasing use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), there is a need to understand its impact on the occurrence of female malignant tumors. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the risk of ovarian canc…
Graphene-based warm uterus acupoint paste (GWUAP) is an emerging non-drug alternative therapy for the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea (PD), but the underlying mechanism is still unclear. SD female rats were randomly divided into control g…
Endometriosis (EM), characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissues and recurrent pelvic pain, is a common disease with severe negative impacts on the life quality of patients. Conventional uterine tissue transplantation-based models…
ObjectiveVaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is widely recognized for its advantages, including reduced postoperative pain and the absence of visible scarring. However, the anatomical specificity required for vN…

BACKGROUND: Although there are many benign tumors in the ovarian adnexal area, the four most common types are still luteal cyst, ovarian mature cystic teratoma (OMCT), ovarian endometriosis, and benign epithelial tumors of the ovary. PURPO…
BackgroundAdvances in minimally invasive surgery and the development of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) have favored the spread of day-surgery programs. Even though Vaginal natural orifice transvaginal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is …
