BACKGROUND: Acupuncture combined with herbal cake-separated moxibustion may be an effective treatment option for chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease (SPID), yet safety and feasibility evidence remain scarce.…
Tuberous sclerosis complex-associated lymphangioleiomyomatosis (TSC-LAM) is a rare systemic disorder characterized by smooth muscle-like cell proliferation, leading to cystic lung destruction, predominantly affecting women of reproductive a…
INTRODUCTION: Acupuncture has been explored as a potential intervention for POR; however, high-quality evidence is limited. This multicenter randomized trial evaluated the effect of acupuncture on the number of oocytes retrieved following c…
INTRODUCTION: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is known to reduce the likelihood of achieving pregnancy or live births in women undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Acupuncture maybe effective for DOR, but current…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between protein-rich foods, various nutritional supplements, and age of natural menopause and its symptoms. METHODS: This study was a large-scale cross-sectional survey. A multi-stage stratified r…
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a recognized global public health problem. However, there are still limitations in the available therapeutic approaches and a lack of clinically effective drugs. Therefore, an in-depth exploration of the seco…
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as robust biomarkers for diagnosing and prognosing gynecological diseases due to their disease-specific expression and remarkable stability in body fluids. Despite the inherent instability of RNA molecules, c…
BACKGROUND: Impaired sexual health is a common long-term issue for female allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant survivors. OBJECTIVE(S): To compare sexual function among clinically stable female transplant survivors to age-matched …
INTRODUCTION: The aim of the study was to explore the impact of the clinical and embryological factors on the pregnancy outcome of FET cycle, while determining the applicability range for the primary predictor. METHODS: A total of 4395 FET…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the roles of spermatozoal sialidase NEU1 and NEU3 in affecting the fertilization rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF), and whether sperm sialidase NEU1 and NEU3 can be used as predictors of IVF outcome. …
OBJECTIVE: Tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome-1 (TRPS1), an atypical GATA transcription factor, plays a critical role in diverse physiological and pathological processes and holds potential as a biomarker for diseases and targeted tumor thera…
OBJECTIVES: To assess the efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for patients with chronic pain. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The research conducted a systematic search of the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE, PsycIN…
OBJECTIVE: Failure to resolve inflammation is a novel feature of angiogenic-dependent diseases such as endometriosis and atherosclerosis.The correlation and causality between endometriosis and coronary heart disease is unclear. Here, we inv…
Luteal phase defect (LPD) is a common female reproductive endocrine defect,which is associated not only with certain diseases but also with the menstrual cycle and fertility in women. With the development of assisted reproductive technology…
BACKGROUND: Rare ginsenosides (Rg3, Rh2, C-K, etc.) refer to a group of dammarane triterpenoids that exist in low natural abundance, mostly produced by deglycosylation or side chain modification via physicochemical processing or metabolic t…
AIM: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation exerts a regulatory effect on endometrioid ovarian cancer (EOC), but the specific m6A regulator genes in EOC remain to be explored. This study investigated that sulforaphene (Sul) is implicated …
Emerging studies have revealed that N6-methyladenosine modification is involved in the development of various cancers. However, the m6A modification pattern of endometrioid ovarian cancer (EOC) has not been demonstrated. In the present stud…
Endometriosis is a hormone-associated disease which has been considered as the precursor for certain types of ovarian cancer. In recent years, emerging evidence demonstrated potent roles of lncRNA in regulating cancer development. Since end…
IN BRIEF: Inflammation and abnormal immune response are the key processes in the development of endometriosis (EMs), and m6A modification can regulate the inflammatory response. This study reveals that METTL3-mediated N6-methyladenosine (m6…
Background: Endometriosis is one of the common benign gynecological diseases among reproductive aged women, which almost lead to pelvic pain, infertility and menstrual disorders. There is no blood test available for the diagnosis of endomet…
Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus. Adolescent endometriosis is often confined to the pelvic cavity and is a common cause of secondary dysmenorrhea in adolescents. Adolescent endomet…
HOTAIR is a well-known long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) involved in various cellular signaling, whereas its functional impacts on endometriosis development are still largely unknown. To this end, six potential functional single nucleotide polym…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the reproductive outcomes of oocytes with smooth endoplasmic reticulum aggregates (SERa) are impaired. METHODS: A total of 2893 intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles were performed between January…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is a gynecological disease defined by the translocation and growth of endometrial tissue in other tissues or organs outside the uterus. Its clinical manifestations are dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, an…
