BACKGROUND: Recurrence of endometrioma and dysmenorrhea after surgery remains a major clinical challenge. Identifying reliable risk factors is essential to optimize individualized treatment and follow-up strategies. However, large-scale dat…
Oxidative stress (OS) has been proposed to play a role in the development of endometriosis (EMs). Peroxiredoxins are a family of antioxidant proteins that exhibit peroxidase activity in a thioredoxin-dependent manner, protecting cells again…
PURPOSE: To review the incidence and predictive factors of invasive cervical cancer in women who underwent hysterectomy due to an abnormal cervical cytology and/or colposcopy biopsy when cervical conization was considered technically not fe…
Background: Acute cholecystitis (AC) is a common inflammatory disease of the gallbladder. Although laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains the standard treatment, gallbladder drainage may be required in patients who are unsuitable for early su…
Primary peritoneal serous borderline tumor (PPSBT) is a rare, low-malignant-potential neoplasm arising from the peritoneum, diagnosed only after excluding ovarian involvement. While typically discovered incidentally during surgery, it often…
Suicide is a complex behavior strongly associated with depression. Despite extensive research, an objective biomarker for evaluating suicide risk precisely and timely is still lacking. Using the precision resting-state fMRI method, we studi…
PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of antibiotic treatment for chronic endometritis (CE) on the pregnancy outcome of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles and the relevant clinical risk factors associated with CE. METHODS: A retrospec…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics, treatment strategies, and prognosis of cervical clear cell carcinoma (CCCC) in patients not exposed to diethylstilbestrol in utero. METHODS: The patien…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to examine the correlation between different dominant follicle proportions (DFPs) and outcomes of in-vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) among patients classified under POSEIDON Group…
Abstract Background As ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) has distinct clinical features, biology, genetic characteristics and mechanisms of pathogenesis, and whether the origin of endometriosis or not affects the prognosis of OCCC remains…
BACKGROUND: As ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) has distinct clinical features, biology, genetic characteristics and mechanisms of pathogenesis, and whether the origin of endometriosis or not affects the prognosis of OCCC remains controv…
Liquid biopsy has been rapidly developed in recent years due to its advantages of non-invasiveness and real-time sampling in cancer prognosis and diagnosis. Exosomes are nanosized extracellular vesicles secreted by all types of cells and ab…
BACKGROUND: CA125 is the most widely used serum marker for preoperative diagnosis of ovarian cancer. However, CA125 elevation is not specific to ovarian cancer. More than 60% of patients who have elevated CA125 levels do not have ovarian ca…
Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by toxic aggregates of mutant huntingtin protein (mHTT) in the brain. Decreasing mHTT is a potential strategy for therapeutic purpose of HD. Valosin-contai…
Cytochrome b reductase 1 (CYBRD1) promotes the development of ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma (OV). We assessed the function of CYBRD1 in OV underlying The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The correlation between clinicopathological c…
We report a rare case of a 40 years old woman with primary vaginal clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) accompanied by Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) and without any prenatal diethylstilbestrol exposure. Pathological results indicated …
Objective An increasing trend of uterine rupture (UR) after laparoscopic surgery of the uterus (LSU) has been observed. Although the overall incidence is extremely low, UR may have catastrophic outcomes. Therefore, investigation of its pote…
Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 is expressed on normal and malignant prostate epithelial cells. The TLR4 and its downstream signaling pathways mediate innate immune responses in the host against invading pathogens. However, multiple lines of evi…
The incidence of acute bleeding is reported to be 13.5% in patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis. However, of all the bleeding events, intra-abdominal bleeding was less studied in the literature and its risk factors have not been wel…
OBJECTIVE: Mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been demonstrated to differentiate into female endometrial epithelial cells (EECs) in vivo. Our previous studies demonstrated that BMSCs can differentiate in the direction of …
Endometriosis involving the mucosa of the intestines is rare, but may lead to diagnostic pitfalls. We reviewed 15 cases (seven biopsies and eight resections) from 14 patients. The patients' mean age is 48 years (31-66 years). Presenting sym…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is predominant of epithelial cell origin and often present at an advanced stage with poor prognosis. Most animal models of ovarian carcinoma yield thecal/granulose cell tumors, rather than adenocarcinomas. The bes…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the differentiation conditions of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into endometrial epithelial cells and to confirm the effect of 17β-estradiol in this process. STUDY DESIGN: BMSCs were cultured alone or…
