OBJECTIVE: To assess the safety and efficacy of percutaneous intrauterine hydrodissection as a protective technique during microwave ablation (MWA) of uterine fibroids adjacent to the endometrium. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective ana…
BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder characterized by ovulatory dysfunction and hormonal imbalance, often leading to infertility. Cangfu Daotan Decoction (CFDTT, Atractylodis Rhizoma, Cyperi Rhizoma, P…
BACKGROUND: Visceral fat accumulation and dyslipidaemia are associated with infertility symptoms. The cardiometabolic index (CMI) is a comprehensive quantitative measure of central obesity and dyslipidaemia. However, the link between the fe…
BACKGROUND: The clinical prognostic factors for ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) are limited, and we aim to construct a model to predict the survival of OCCC patients. METHODS: Data were extracted from the SEER database for patients dia…
The human cytochrome P450 19A1 (CYP19A1, aromatase) is a heme-containing protein catalyzing the final steps of the biosynthesis of the steroid hormone 17β-estradiol. It is a key target for the treatment of sex-hormone-related disorders due …
BACKGROUND: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a condition identified by the decline in ovarian function before the age of 40. The treatment of POI patients deserves in-depth research. This study aimed to explore the impacts of probio…
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is defined as the depletion of ovarian function before the age of 40 years. The global prevalence of POI is 3.5%. To date, genetic factors account for 23.5% of the etiology of POI. Herein, a previously …
BACKGROUND: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a challenging disease due to its intrinsic chemoresistance. Immunotherapy is an emerging treatment option but currently impeded by insufficient understanding of OCCC immunophenotypes and th…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is a relapsing and estrogen-dependent disease. For endometriosis such as deep endometriosis and ovarian endometrioid cysts, surgery is the most effective treatment. Long-term follow-up showed that the recurre…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent disease, which easily recurs after operation. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a), an estrogen-inhibiting drug, can effectively inhibit the secretion of gonadotropin by pi…
BACKGROUND: Cancer cells could show the characteristics of cancer stem cells (CSCs) through epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). EZH2 was associated with EMT. Ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) could enhance gene transfe…
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture on relieving abdominal pain and distension in acute pancreatitis. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will electronically search PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, We…
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate clinical efficacy and safety of Remifemin on peri-menopausal symptoms in endometriosis patients with a post-operative GnRH-a therapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We treated 116 women who had e…
Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is a nonsteroidal estrogen that induces developmental anomalies of the female reproductive tract. The homeobox gene HOXA10 controls uterine organogenesis, and its expression is altered after in utero DES exposure. W…
