BACKGROUND: Excessive activation of inflammatory responses and oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of endometriosis (EMs), which is characterized by ectopic lesion growth and chronic pelvic pain. However, effective…
To identify the factors affecting adverse reproductive outcomes in TPOAb-positive patients and to establish a predictive model based on these factors to assess the risk of adverse reproductive outcomes in patients. A retrospective cohort st…
Female infertility represents a significant reproductive health issue that critically affects global fertility rates. In this study, we utilized the most recent data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2021. Initially, we assessed…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a persistent inflammatory condition whose three main symptoms, mass, pain, and infertility, severely affect female patients of childbearing age. Hu-Po-San (HPS), a preparation consisting of various herbal …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a gynecological disorder characterized by chronic inflammation and an aberrant immune microenvironment. In this study, we integrated the GSE6364 dataset from the GEO database to identify differentially expressed genes…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is delineated as a benign yet steroid-dependent disorder characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial glandular and stromal cells outside the uterine cavity, affecting estimated 10%-15% of women of reprod…
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To describe MRI characteristics of ureteral endometriosis (UE) in identifying intrinsic involvement of the ureteric wall and predicting complex procedures. METHODS: Thirty-three UE lesions in 30 patients treated f…
BACKGROUND: Lymphangiogenesis is a process involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases. Identifying key molecules and pathway targeting this process is critical for lymphatic regeneration-associated disorders. EGR1 is a transcription fact…
Extracellular vesicles from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) play an important role in lymphangiogenesis; however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the function of extr…
Endometriosis is a serious human gynecological disorder of women of reproductive age. The present study was designed to explore the therapeutic implications of rhein in the management of endometriosis. The results showed that rhein signific…
Humans are regularly and continuously exposed to ionizing radiation from both natural and artificial sources. Cumulating evidence shows adverse effects of ionizing radiation on both male and female reproductive systems, including reduction …
Abstract In endometriosis, an aberrant immune response in the peritoneal environment is evident, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In recent years, some emerging data support an important role for the changes in intracellular me…
Adenomyosis is a benign disease with a malignant behavior, bothering a lot of women at reproductive age who suffer from increased menstruation, prolonged menstruation, progressive dysmenorrhea, and infertility. At present, there is no effec…
BACKGROUND: There are about 2.4 hundred thousand new cases and 1.5 hundred thousand deaths of ovarian cancer (OC) annually in the world. Chronic inflammation is a risk factor for OC. C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1) defects may facili…
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is the most serious type of pancreatitis with high morbidity and mortality. The underlying mechanism behind SAP pathogenesis is complex and remains elusive. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are emerging as vital regu…
BACKGROUND: Polypoid endometriosis (PEM) is a rare type of endometriosis, frequently mimicking a malignant tumor. We report on a patient with PEM over a 10-year span who had symptoms at age 16. CASE: A 20-year-old woman presented with mass…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMs) and to investigate the role of antioxidant therapy on autophagy and the outcome of EM…
OBJECTIVE: Little data exist describing the change over time in islet function and glycemic control in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP). METHODS: In 325 CP patients who underwent 2 mixed meal tolerance tests and/or glycated hemoglob…
AIM OF THE STUDY: Sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment-ion spectra (SWATHTM), a powerful high-resolution mass spectrometric data independent acquisition technique, was used to identify differences that relate certain me…
OBJECTIVE: We reveal the relationship between progesterone level in follicular fluid and oocyte quality based on sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment-ion spectra (SWATH™), a powerful high-resolution mass spectrometric d…
Objective To investigate the value of the ultrasonic elastic quantitative analysis technique of organization diffusion in adenomyosis. Methods Ninty-three patients with adenomyosis were divided into adenomyosis group (n=52) and adeno…
Overexpression of annexin A2 (Anxa2) is correlated with invasion and metastasis in breast cancer cells. In this study, breast cancer patients with upregulated Anxa2 exhibited poor overall and disease-free survival rates. Anxa2 expression wa…
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules of about 22 nucleotides that involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Evidence indicates that miRNAs play essential roles in endometriosis, pre-eclampsia, infertility and other reprod…
Ovarian cancer has the lowest survival rate of the gynecologic cancers because it is predominantly diagnosed in Stages III or IV due to the lack of reliable symptoms, as well as the lack of efficacious screening techniques. Detection before…
