OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the biological function of miR-1229-3p in the occurrence and development of cervical cancer (CC). METHODS: The expression levels of miR-1229-3p and FBXL5 in CC tissues and cell lines were detected by R…

Abstract Endometriosis, affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women worldwide, is a typical chronic inflammatory disease. Inflammation-related genes (IRGs) play a crucial role in the occurrence and progression of various disease…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological condition associated with chronic pelvic pain, menorrhagia, and infertility. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has gained attention as a noninvasive treatment modality. However, monot…

BackgroundCulture-negative periprosthetic joint infections (CN-PJIs) represent a critical subtype of PJI, and their high prevalence poses substantial challenges for treatment. CN-PJI is commonly managed utilizing antibiotic combinations, ho…

BackgroundTo overcome the challenge of psychotherapist scarcity in applying pain psychotherapy in clinical practice, we developed a virtual reality (VR) program delivering weeks of pain psychotherapy without psychotherapists, with a focus o…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the current treatment status and management deficiencies of adenomyosis in Luzhou, China. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A small-scale observational cross-sectional study of patients whose imaging suggests adenomyosis from J…

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a frequently occurring gynecological disorder mainly caused by the inflammation of a woman's upper genital tract. Generally, antibiotics are used for treating PID, but pro…

IntroductionThe use of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) has dramatically increased in patients with non-male factor infertility during the last decades. However, whether ICSI provides a significant benefit over in vitro fertilization…

BackgroundEpithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains an unmet medical challenge due to its insidious onset, atypical symptoms, and increasing resistance to conventional chemotherapeutic agents. It is imperative to explore novel biomarkers and …

PurposeSince the unexplained in vitro fertilization failure occurs frequently, it is of great importance and clinical value to identify potential underlying predictors. This study aimed to explore whether the percentage of sperm with a smal…

ObjectiveTo analyze the therapeutic effect of acupuncture combined with mifepristone on uterine fibroids and its influence on sex hormones and inflammatory factors.MethodsData of 102 patients with uterine fibroids admitted to Shanxi Provinc…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinopathy causing infertility in childbearing women. Progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol has recently been used for infertile women. However, whether PPOS provides a signifi…

ObjectivesSince patients with borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) are relatively young with good survival rates, conservative surgery is prioritized as a therapeutic intervention. However, the high recurrence rate of this tumor remains an issu…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a disturbing condition affecting about 10% of all reproductive aged women. The most severe form of endometriosis is deeply infiltrative endometriosis (DIE). Bowel is commonly affected in DIE. Treatment options o…

Obesity-related acute pancreatitis (AP) is characterized by increasing prevalence worldwide and worse clinical outcomes compared to AP of other etiologies. Chaiqin chengqi decoction (CQCQD), a Chinese herbal formula, has long been used for …

Abstract Background: About 10% reproductive aged women are affected by endometriosis. Deep infiltrative endometriosis (DIE) is the most severe form of endometriosis which has a high risk of recurrence. Bowel is the most common extragenital…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) instead of contrast-enhanced (CE) imaging for evaluation of the immediate therapeutic efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of Chinese patients with ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (EC) and clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and to assess the impact of concurrent endometriosis on this group. METHODS: T…

BackgroundVenous thromboembolism (VTE) and bleeding are serious and potentially fatal complications of surgical procedures. Pharmacological thromboprophylaxis decreases the risk of VTE but increases the risk of major post-operative bleeding…

ObjectiveTo compare the use and clinical efficacy of three different follicle-stimulating hormones (FSHs) for follicle growth and development in long-protocol controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH).MethodsA total of 540 gonadotropin-rele…

Insufficient endometrial angiogenesis during peri-implantation impairs endometrial receptivity (ER), which contributes to recurrent implantation failure (RIF) during in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Angiopoietin-like pro…

Acute pancreatitis is a potentially severe inflammatory disease that may be associated with a substantial morbidity and mortality. Currently there is no specific treatment for the disease, which indicates an ongoing demand for research into…
