In Asian populations, early-stage ovarian cancers account for approximately half of cases, substantially exceeding proportions observed in Western cohorts, with clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and endometrioid carcinoma (EMC) demonstrating marke…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecological disorder closely linked with diminished fertility potential that poses significant challenges in pharmacological management. Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen, DS), a traditional Ch…

Adenomyosis (AM) is recognized as a complex gynecological and endocrine disorder that contributes to infertility and elevates the risk of pregnancy complications; however, its underlying genetic basis remains unidentified. This study aimed …

Adenomyosis (AM) is characterized as a chronic and progressive disorder with limited therapeutic strategies available. Myometrial fibrosis is a prominent pathological feature of AM, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Th…

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) represents a distinct histological subtype with a high prevalence in Asian populations and poor chemotherapy response. This study investigated molecular interactions between phosphatase and tensin homolog…

PURPOSE: This study identified novel variants of the FSIP2 and SPEF2 genes in multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF) patients and to investigate the potential effect of variations on male infertility and assisted …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with increased risks of infertility and miscarriage. Although the spontaneous miscarriage rate in women with endometriosis is higher than in …

OBJECTIVE: The malposition of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) can have a considerable impact on the treatment outcomes for patients with adenomyosis. This study was designed to explore the relationship between the…

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is often considered a relatively platinum-resistant malignancy. The aim of this study was to explore the influence of progesterone receptor (PR) expression levels on platinum sensitivity and survival outc…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) has a disproportionately high incidence among women in East Asia. Patients diagnosed with OCCC tend to experience worse clinical outcomes than those with high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) at …

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory bowel diseases, including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease, are some of the most common inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. The dysfunction of the immune system in the intestines is sugg…

BACKGROUND: We describe a DNA methylation assay, named MPap test, using cervical scraping as an alternative technique for endometrial cancer detection. METHODS: A multicenter hospital-based, two-stage validation study was conducted to vali…

This large-scale study aimed to determine the long-term influences of potential prognostic predictors and progression-free interval (PFI) criteria for grading platinum-sensitivity in ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC). We retrospectively r…

OBJECTIVE: The malignant transformation (MT) of ovarian mature cystic teratoma (MCT) to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is very rare. This study analyzed cases from multiple medical centers in Taiwan to investigate the clinicopathologic chara…

PROBLEM: Endometriosis has been proposed to be an autoimmune disease because of the presence of a variety of autoantibodies specific for endometrial or ovarian antigens. The object of the present study is to characterize binding specificity…

Extrauterine mullerian adenosarcoma is rare and is thought to arise from endometriotic deposits or pluripotent mesothelial and mesenchymal cells of the pelvic cavity. Concomitant colon-rectal neoplasm was reported but the relationship betwe…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To review laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) cases for instances of small intestine injury. DESIGN: Retrospective review (Canadian Task Force Classification II-2). SETTING: Tertiary care university hospital…
