OBJECTIVES: Transvaginal ultrasound- and laparoscopy-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (TLPMA) is a minimally invasive alternative technique with low risk, fast recovery and few side effects. We aimed to evaluate the safety and long-te…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs), a common gynecological disorder, adversely affects the quality of life of females. The pathogenesis of EMs has not been elucidated and the diagnostic methods for EMs have limitations. This study aimed to ide…
Recent evidence indicates that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play crucial regulatory roles in the pathogenesis and development of endometriosis. Circ_0004712 was found to be differentially expressed in endometriosis. However, the detailed functi…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical efficacy of assisted reproductive technology (ART) combined with progesterone capsules in the treatment of infertility caused by the diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) and its influence on serum FSH, E2, and…
The prevalence of endometriosis is approximately 10% in women of reproductive age, and 30-50% of women with endometriosis are infertile. Metformin has been reported to inhibit the growth of ectopic lesions in endometriosis. However, its eff…
BACKGROUND: Hysterectomy is one of the most frequently performed operations worldwide. However, postoperative complications and body image changes may induce psychological distress after hysterectomy. The study aimed to evaluate the effect …
BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women living in developing countries. Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a member of the nuclear receptor family, which regulates the development and proliferation of cancer. How…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is recognized as an estrogen-dependent inflammation disorder, estimated to affect 8%-15% of women of childbearing age. Currently, the etiology and pathogenesis of endometriosis are not completely clear. Underlying …
We first reported that the Hippo-YAP signaling pathway plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMS). Autophagy is also related to the invasion ability of endometrial cells and is involved in the pathogenesis of EMS throu…
AIM: Progesterone resistance is an epigenetic factor that reduces endometrial receptivity and causes implantation failure in women with endometriosis. In addition, dysregulated miRNAs contribute to the underlying pathogenic mechanisms of en…
Egg production is an essential indicator of poultry fertility. The ovary is a crucial organ involved in egg production; however, little is known about the key genes and signaling pathways involved in the whole egg-laying cycle of hens. In o…
BackgroundThe aim of this study is to explore the most effective inflammation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nutrition markers for survival and pathology complete response (pCR) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC)…
PURPOSE: Endometriosis (EMS) is confirmed pathophysiologically to be an estrogen-dependent disease, similar to endometrial hyperplasia/cancer and breast cancer. Epidemiological and biological data on endometriosis might explain links betwee…
Growth hormone (GH) has been used as a co-gonadotrophin in assisted reproduction, particularly in poor ovarian responders. The application of GH has been alleged to activate primordial follicles and improve oocyte quality, embryo quality, a…
ObjectiveThe hemoglobin-to-red cell distribution width ratio (HRR) is associated with the prognosis of sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE). This study aimed to determine the relationship between HRR and SAE and to clarify the possible me…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility of simple high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for placenta increta. METHODS: Ninety-five patients after a vaginal delivery were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study, 53 patients we…
AIMS: Laparoscopic surgery is widely used for diagnosing ovarian endometriosis but it has medical risks. This study explored the application of blood indicators in diagnosis and staging of ovarian endometriosis, aiming to develop a noninvas…
The early diagnosis and treatment of ectopic pregnancy (EP) remains a major challenge. Despite a known link between vaginal microbiota and female reproductive health, few studies have focused on the association between vaginal microbiota an…
PURPOSE: Although the clinical effect of dienogest for endometriosis after conservative surgery has been proven, the cost-effectiveness of this new pharmacotherapy remains to be determined. We aimed to assess the health economic implication…
Abstract Wnt/β-catenin signalling contributes to the metastasis and invasion in the etiology and pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMS), but why the WNT pathway is dysregulated in EMS remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the effects o…
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the ADNEX model for ovarian cancer at the 15% cut-off value. METHODS: Studies on the identified diagnosis of the ADNEX model for ovarian cancer published in PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Li…
Abstract Background: The infertile patients with endometriosis had a higher prevalence of endometrial polyps. The effect of endometrial polyps on pregnancy outcomes in endometriosis-associated infertility patients is unclear. This study ass…
OBJECTIVE: To compare the rates of negative test results for chronic endometritis (CE) between subjects who did and did not receive antibiotic treatment. DESIGN: Prospective, single-blind randomized controlled trial. SETTING: Tertiary hys…
BACKGROUND: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a major limitation of assisted reproductive technology, which is associated with impaired endometrial receptivity. Although N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been demonstrated to be involved in…
