BACKGROUND: Migraine is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by severe headache, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound, affecting approximately 1 billion people globally. Despite advances in understanding migraine pathophysiol…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine the effects and the efficacy of a combination of interventional embolization and endocrine hormone therapy for Pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 132 patients diagn…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the differences in symptom clusters of adenomyosis (AM) patients across spatial, temporal, and age-stratified dimensions based on the theory of "Treatment in Accordance with Three Categories of Etiolog…

BACKGROUND: A new era in minimally invasive surgery has been ushered in by Leonardo's robot surgical system, but the safety and effectiveness in cervical cancer is lake of evidence. This study aimed to compare the safety, effectiveness, and…

Perianal endometriosis represents a rare form of endometriosis occurring outside the pelvic cavity. Owing to its infrequency in clinical practice, this condition is highly susceptible to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. This case r…

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of ectopic pregnancy after assisted reproduction is notably high, posing a significant threat to the life safety of pregnant women. Discrepancies in published results and the lack of a comprehensive description of…

Tumorigenesis of bladder cancer and retinoblastoma is correlated with long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) RBAT1. However, the role of RBAT1 in ovarian carcinoma (OC) is unclear. Thus, the study explored the role of RBAT1 in OC. This research enrol…

Elevated CA-125 levels, polyserous effusions (such as pleural effusion, ascites, etc.) in young women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may signal pseudo-pseudo Meigs' syndrome (PPMS), after excluding other causes. We describe a 32-ye…

Endometriosis (EM) is a common chronic disease in women with a high incidence, and aberrant DNA methylation and circulating endometrial cells (CECs) have been reported to be involved in the development of EM. However, the underlying mechani…

PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the perceived changes in sexual behaviour during COVID-19 lockdown, anxiety symptoms, and couple relationship of patients with infertility. METHODS: We performed an observational cross-sectional study b…

Cystitis glandularis is characterized by chronic inflammation and hyperproliferation of bladder mucosa, and contributes to progression of bladder adenocarcinoma. TPRG1 (Tumor Protein P63 Regulated 1) is related to cellular inflammatory respo…

Background: Endometrial preparation is essential in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Recent studies suggested that different endometrial preparation methods may influence obstetrical complications. However, the association betwee…

PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of sildenafil citrate (SC) on live birth rates (LBR) during women undergoing their first frozen embryo transfers (FET) with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). PATIENTS AND METHODS: This retrospective coh…

PURPOSE: To investigate whether progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) can be an alternative as gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) long protocol for infertile women with normal ovarian reserve during IVF/ICSI. METHODS: A …

INTRODUCTION: Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) protocols are typically characterised by an increased number of oocytes retrieved. The oocytes are often of poor quality, leading to lower pre…

INTRODUCTION: Uterine fibroids are a common benign genital tumor disease in gynecological diseases. It is mainly a change in physical function caused by the growth of smooth muscle cells in the factor uterus. Modern medicine's treatment of …

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported the association between embryo quality and perinatal outcomes in fresh cycles, after cleavage-stage or blastocyst embryo transfer, and found no significant difference. However, in terms of vitrifie…

The objective of our research was to confirm the prediction role of Grobman model for vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) in Chinese pregnant women. In this research, 535 pregnant who had once cesarean delivery and the least once subsequent…

STUDY QUESTION: Do regulatory T cells (Tregs) contribute to angiogenesis in endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: High levels of CCL17 and CCL22 cause the recruitment of Tregs, upregulate the immunosuppression of Tregs and, in turn, may promote a…

PROBLEM: Chronic inflammation is important for the occurrence of endometriosis, but the molecular mechanisms are still poorly understood. TLR4 is not only expressed on immune cells but is also present in the human endometrium, and its regul…

PROBLEM: To explore the roles of leptin, monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1, and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α in the peritoneal fluid (PF) in the pathogenesis of endometriosis-associated infertility. METHOD OF STUDY: Leptin, MCP-1, and…
