ObjectiveTo develop a pre-percutaneous microwave ablation (PMWA) model combining conventional ultrasound (CUS) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for predicting non-perfused volume ratio (NPVR) ≥ 80% in patients with uterine fibroids.M…
IntroductionThis study aimed to investigate the association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels in serum (VD-S) and follicular fluid (VD-FF) and the laboratory outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in patients with diminished ov…
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a relatively rare chronic fibroinflammatory disorder of the pancreas caused by autoimmune mechanisms. Patients with this condition generally show a clear response to glucocorticoid therapy. Notably, its clin…
BACKGROUND: Abnormal angiogenesis plays vital role in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis (AM). Emerging evidence suggests that exosomes derived from endometrial cells can accelerate the progression of AM. In this study, we aim to investigate t…
Ovarian cancer poses a significant clinical challenge due to its asymptomatic onset and poor prognosis, highlighting the critical need for effective early detection strategies. This study developed a framework that integrates serum proteomi…
Background and objectiveIleal ureter replacement (IUR) is the definitive management approach for extensive ureteral strictures (UrSs). Patients with UrS exhibit poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We conducted a long-term, multi-in…
Adenomyosis (AM) is a benign gynecological disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue within the myometrium and is commonly associated with dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia. Although angiogenesis is considered a key process in…
Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare entity with nonspecific presentations, often leading to diagnostic challenges. Complete surgical resection requires precise preoperative imaging to map tumor extent. This retrospective case series …
The independent causal effects of interrelated lifestyle behaviors and psychological states on women's gynecologic and obstetric health remain incompletely understood. We conducted a comprehensive Mendelian randomization (MR) study to disen…
BackgroundUreteral reimplantation (UR) is the standard treatment for distal ureteral stricture, yet postoperative anastomotic restenosis impairs outcomes, with conventional imaging unable to quantify urinary tract obstruction and dysfunctio…
BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is widely acknowledged as the prevailing reproductive endocrine disorder accompanied by numerous metabolic dysfunctions. However, there has been a lack of systematic examination regarding the amino…
BACKGROUND: Ultrasound-guided anhydrous ethanol sclerotherapy (UGAES) is an effective treatment option for ovarian endometrioma-related pain and infertility. However, its use is limited by the fact that alcohol can sometimes cause unbearabl…
Polycystic ovary syndrome is the primary cause of female infertility. Growing evidence suggests that dysregulation of amino acid metabolism plays a significant role in the onset and progression. However, the underlying mechanism remains unc…
Congenital intramural uterine cysts are extremely rare and often difficult to diagnose preoperatively. They are typically associated with remnants of the mesonephric or paramesonephric ducts and are pathologically benign; however, a very sm…
ObjectivesThis meta-analysis seeks to clarify the relationship between hysterectomy, oophorectomy, and the subsequent risk of developing breast cancer.MethodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, the Cochrane Librar…
BackgroundPrevious studies have focused on the effects of ambient air pollutant levels on assisted reproduction. This research focused on the combined effects of lower concentrations of air pollutants and multiple environmental factors on m…
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a widely used chemical in industrial production. It can be introduced into the environment through multiple pathways and exhibits resistance to degradation. Recent research has demonstrated a significant …
BackgroundThe Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly impacted global health and shares several clinical features with ulcerative colitis (UC). However, the existence of a common pathological mechanism between COVID-1…
Emerging evidence suggests that microbiota dysbiosis plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of endometrial cancer (EC), a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women globally. However, few studies have simultaneously examined both th…
ObjectivesThe review aimed to evaluate the efficacy of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) in treating chronic pain by analyzing recent literature.Study designThis is a narrative review of relevant articles on the effectiveness of PRF for chronic p…
ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate whether endometrial thickness (EmT) change prognosticates the ongoing pregnancy rate (OPR) in hormonally prepared frozen-thawed embryo transfers (FETs) in women with treated intrauterine adhesion (IU…
ObjectiveTo evaluate the pregnancy and perinatal outcomes of different phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients during the frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Additionally, to analyze the T cell balance in the endometrium of…
PurposeThis study aims to establish a single-time point RNA-sequencing-based endometrial receptivity test (rsERT) to provide hourly precision of endometrial WOI for patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF).MethodsA two-phase study…
Pain, an unpleasant but essential feeling for life, affects more than 20% of the global population and burdens health and the economy. Due to the lack of understanding of the exact fundamental mechanism, the existing therapeutic strategies …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disease defined by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Gut microbiota has emerged as potent inducer for chronic inflammatory disease, yet whether its mecha…
