Objective: Endometriosis (EM) and uterine leiomyoma (UL) are common gynecological disorders with substantial clinical overlap; however, their shared epidemiological and genetic underpinnings remain poorly understood. This study investigated…
BACKGROUND: Postoperative recovery and venous thromboembolism (VTE) are major concerns following total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a multimodal prehabilitation program on postoperative recover…
The B‑cell translocation gene 2 (BTG2), originally identified as a tumor suppressor, has been extensively studied in oncology research. However, its multifaceted functions in non‑tumor diseases are still being recognized but not entirely un…
OBJECTIVES: Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is a rare and specific type of leiomyomatosis that is often misdiagnosed as malignant tumor with peritoneal metastasis, and accurate diagnosis is critical to treatment planning. The …
INTRODUCTION: Nucleotide-binding domain (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs) are expressed in the endometrium, and involved in modulating the female innate immune responses. There are conceptus-endometrial interactions during pregnancy, which ensure…
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…
OBJECTIVE: To compare the safety and effectiveness between long-term GnRH agonist plus HCG (dual trigger) and HCG trigger alone in high ovarian responders. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on clinical data from 314 cases of hig…
Programmed cell deaths are pathways involving cells playing an active role in their own destruction. Depending on the signaling system of the process, programmed cell death can be divided into two categories, pro-inflammatory and non-inflam…
OBJECTIVE: To compare the value of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)/computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in differentiating benign and malignant ovarian or adnexal tumors. MATERIALS AND MET…
BACKGROUND: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the leading cause of death among preterm infants born at < 30 weeks' gestation. The incidence of NEC is reduced when infants are fed human milk. However, in many neonatal intensive care units (…
Liver plays important roles in the innate and adaptive immunity, and contributes to the maternal immune adjustments during pregnancy in mice and rats. T helper 1 (Th1) and Th2 cytokines are related to immune response. However, expression of…
Background. Clinical trials reveal that multiherb prescriptions of herbal medicine often exhibit pharmacological and therapeutic superiority in comparison to isolated single constituents. However, the synergistic mechanisms underlying this …
