BACKGROUND: It is a technical challenge to monitor ablation outcome during magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) treatment using non-gadolinium technique. The study aimed to investigate the value of diffusion-weighted imagin…

BACKGROUND: Currently, the use of dienogest in clinical practice has increased significantly, and many studies have focused on its effectiveness and safety in the treatment of endometriosis and adenomyosis; however, the effects of treatment…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is considered as a precancerous lesion for OCCC; however its prognostic significance remains controversial. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic significance of endometriosis in patients with ovarian clear …

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of adding 4 mg estradiol valerate to progesterone for luteal support on pregnancy rates in IVF cycles following a long protocol with reduced luteal serum estradiol levels post-hCG triggerin…

BACKGROUND: Repeated cryopreservation of embryos should occasionally be considered when embryos were not suitable for transfer. The effect of re-cryopreservation on embryos remains contentious. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study aime…

Endometriosis refers to as an estrogen-dependent disease. Estrogen receptor β (ERβ), the main estrogen receptor subtype which is encoded by the estrogen receptor 2 (ESR2) gene, can mediate the action of estrogen in endometriosis. Although s…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the etiological distribution of hydronephrosis caused by upper urinary tract obstruction in adult patients and to improve the diagnostic accuracy for this condition. METHODS: The clinical information of adult pati…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a complex disorder with genetic, immune, inflammatory, and multifactorial etiologies. Zinc, an essential trace element, plays a crucial role in various physiological processes. Dysregulation or deficiency of zin…

BACKGROUND: Uterine sarcoma (US) is a highly malignant cancer with poor prognosis and high mortality in women. In this study, we evaluated the expression of human fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in different US subtypes and the relation…

BACKGROUND: Female reproductive aging remains irreversible. More evidence is needed on how polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) affect the female reproductive lifespan. OBJECTIVES: To identify and validate specific PUFAs that can influence …

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested that oil-based contrast agents used during hysterosalpingography (HSG) in infertile patients can enhance fertility. However, limited research has investigated the effect of oil-based contrast medi…

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas. Despite of a steadily increasing in morbidity and mortality, there is still no effective therapy. Gut microbial dysbiosis and its derived-metabolites disorder have been sho…

Endometriosis is a common benign gynecologic condition. Endometriosis lesions are associated with endometrial cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and neovascularization, while the specific molecular mechanisms are still elusive. Transc…

Abnormal trophoblast self-renewal and differentiation during early gestation is the major cause of miscarriage, yet the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we show that trophoblast specific deletion of Kat8, a MYST family…

BACKGROUND: Adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) is a common acute abdominal complication. Although non-surgical treatment is the primary treatment approach, more and more studies show that surgical treatment can reduce the incidence rat…

BACKGROUND: Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific clinical syndrome and can be subdivided into early-onset preeclampsia (EOPE) and late-onset preeclampsia (LOPE) according to the gestational age of delivery. Patients with preeclampsia have a…

The impaired endometrial receptivity is a major factor contributing to infertility in patients with endometriosis (EM), but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Our study aimed to investigate the role of Kruppel-like factor 15 (KLF15) …

Despite decades of research, the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear. Recent studies have shown that microRNAs play an important role in this condition. In this study, we found that the expression level of miR-450b-5p was increase…

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Hepatic fibrosis (HF) is a critical step in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Gene associated with retinoid-IFN-induced mortality 19 (GRIM19), an essential component of mitochondrial respiratory chain c…

OBJECTIVE: The sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease (SPID) are major causes of secondary infertility. Modified Hongteng Baijiang decoction (MHTBD) has produced positive results in the treatment of patients with chronic pelvic inflammator…

The goal of the study was to explore the mechanism underlying the progression from abnormal uterine bleeding with ovulatory dysfunction (AUB-O) to AUB with atypical hyperplasia/malignancy (AUB-M). AUB-O, AUB-M and control endometrial tissue…

BACKGROUND: Nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 3 (NR4A3) is lowly expressed in ectopic endometrium and can be degraded by ubiquitination in vascular endothelial cells. Murine double minute 2 (MDM2) is predicted to be the ubiquitin …

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether MRI can predict the necessity of rectosigmoid resection (RR) for optimal debulking surgery (ODS) in ovarian cancer (OC) patients and to compare the predictive accuracy of pre- and post-neoadjuvant chemothera…

Abstract Purpose Endometriosis (EMT) affects millions of women worldwide and is closely associated with the body's response to oxidative stress. The role of oxidative stress markers in the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis is a pot…

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between phosphatidylcholine (PC) levels and dysmenorrhea using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. METHODS: We conducted a two-sample MR analysis using GWAS data on P…
