Uterine mechanical properties, particularly tissue stiffness, are dynamically regulated during the embryo implantation window to ensure optimal mechanocompatibility. However, maternal aging and fibrotic pathologies, such as adenomyosis and …

BACKGROUND: Cervical pregnancy (CP) is a rare but life-threatening ectopic gestation with high risk of catastrophic hemorrhage during evacuation. Uterine artery embolization (UAE) combined with dilation and curettage (D&C) has been proposed…

OBJECTIVE: This prospective study aimed to investigate the short-term effects of single-port laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign conditions on postoperative pelvic floor symptoms, pelvic floor structure, and pelvic floor muscle function. …

Thin endometrium (TE), which mainly occurs as a result of severe damage to the endometrial basalis, is one of the prominent etiologies of menstrual abnormalities, infertility, and recurrent miscarriage in women. Previous studies have demons…

Thin endometrium (TE) is a significant factor contributing to fertility challenges, and addressing this condition remains a central challenge in reproductive medicine. Menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MenSCs) play a crucial r…

During embryo implantation, blastocyst interacts with the receptivity endometrium and the endometrial epithelium secretes nurturing fluid to support embryonic development. Interferon-λ (IFN-λ) is a novel, non-redundant regulator that partic…

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA), resulting from pregnancy or nonpregnant uterine trauma, is one of the major causes of abnormal menstruation, infertility, or repeated pregnancy loss. Although a few methods, including hysteroscopy and hormone th…

Female fertility declines with age, and this natural variation culminates in reproductive senescence. Human follicular fluids are rich in low-molecular weight metabolites which are responsible for the maturation of oocytes. The metabolomic …

The prognostic value of the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio during induction (ILMR) remains unclear in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients receiving Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). We aimed to determine and compare the prognost…

OBJECTIVE:: The purpose of this study is to compare contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to MRI for evaluating local invasion of cervical cancer. METHODS:: A total of 108 patients with cervical cancer were included in this study. All the en…

BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer is the fourth most frequent cancer and the second cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. China has a high incidence of gastric cancer. Inflammation is a critical component of tumor progression. It has been wide…

BACKGROUND: In premenopausal women, endocrine adjuvant therapy for breast cancer primarily consists of tamoxifen alone or with ovarian suppressive strategies. Toremifene is a chlorinated derivative of tamoxifen, but with a superior risk-ben…
