STUDY QUESTION: How can the potential mechanisms and targets of endometriosis be explored through multi-omics and multi-location approaches? SUMMARY ANSWER: This exploration of the gut-reproductive axis in patients with endometriosis found…
Early detection of asymptomatic ovarian cancer (asym-OC) remains a critical challenge, the failure of which underlies its high mortality. Performing serum peptidomic profiling of 843 participants in the cohort SOCFCP, we distill 1,081 initi…
Primary dysmenorrhea is currently an unresolved public health problem worldwide, which suffers the patients comprehensive symptoms. Currently, more and more studies have been focusing on biomarker exploration for diagnosis and target therap…
PURPOSE: The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetric (FIGO) stage is critical to guiding the treatments of ovarian cancer (OC). We tried to develop a model to predict the FIGO stage of OC through machine learning algorithms wit…
Infertility poses considerable challenges to both the endocrine system and psychological well-being of affected women. In particular, those undergoing Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) confront not only physiological demands but also s…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis, typically associated with heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain, is rarely linked to neurological complications. This case presents a rare instance of ischemic stroke in a young patient with adenomyosis and vascu…
INTRODUCTION: Chronic endometritis (CE) is a prolonged, mild inflammation of the endometrial lining. This study investigated the impact of the impact of antibiotic treatment combined with vaginal Lactobacillus on pregnancy outcomes in infer…
The adverse effect of ambient PM2.5 exposure on very early pregnancy (VEP) remains controversial among epidemiological studies but is supported by toxicological evidence. We adopted a multicenter retrospective cohort of 141,040 cycles to ev…
BACKGROUND: Empirical treatment was introduced when pathological or microbiological results of tuberculosis (TB) were not available. This report was designed to evaluate an algorithm based on empirical treatment in defining tuberculous pleu…
Abstract Study question What are the therapeutic targets and molecular mechanisms that bring superior pharmacological effects of ProEGCG against angiogenesis in endometriosis? Summary answer ProEGCG binds to PXK and downregulates PXK-mediat…
Abstract Study question What are the pathological mechanisms of endometrioma-associated poor ovarian function? Summary answer Endometrioma prematurely activated primordial follicles and subsequently impaired ovarian functions through disrup…
Abstract Study question What are the underlying mechanisms of melatonin to treat endometriosis? Summary answer Melatonin inhibited estrogen receptors/HIF1α/VEGF signaling pathway and limited the endometriotic lesions growth and angiogenesis…
Ovarian cancer is an important leading cause of cancer-related deaths among females, and a single biomarker does not have the sensitivity and specificity required for an effective ovarian cancer screening. Herein, we investigate a high-perf…
Cryoablation, as a well-characterized technology, has multifarious clinical applications. But few are reported on ureteral endometriosis. Thus, we examined the feasibility and safety of cryotherapy with a novel balloon cryoprobe on ureter i…
Recently, a growing body of evidence has suggested that abnormal ovarian angiogenesis, secondary to the imbalance between various angiogenic markers, is involved in the pathogenesis of PCOS, and this has led to the use of various interventi…
Immunologic disorder has been reported to promote the progression of endometriosis (EMT). It has been known that myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) drive the progression of many types of diseases. Few studies have shown the relation b…
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies have clarified the potential associations between regular aspirin use and cancers. However, it remains controversial on whether aspirin use decreases the risk of cancers risks. Therefore, we conducted an …
Qu-Yu-Jie-Du decoction (QYJD) is a commercially available traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is an aqueous extract of a Chinese herbal formula primarily consisting of eight TCM herbs: Taraxacum campylodes G.E. Haglund, Coix lacryma-jobi…
Estrogen and progesterone coupled with locally produced signaling molecules are essential for embryo implantation. However, the hierarchical landscape of the molecular pathways that governs this process remains largely unexplored. Here we s…
AIM: To introduce transvaginal or transanal specimen extraction in laparoscopic total mesorectal excision surgery to avoid an abdominal incision. METHODS: Between January 2009 and December 2011, 21 patients with rectal cancer underwent lap…
Objective:To compare the advantages of abdominal operation and laparoscopic cystectomy of endometriosis of the ovary and treatment,explore the effect of laparoscopy in treatment of endometriosis.Methods:Among 188 patients with endometriosis…
