BACKGROUND: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a severe subtype of endometriosis, often associated with dysmenorrhea and significant diagnostic challenges. Conventional biomarkers, such as cancer antigen 125 (CA125), lack sufficient s…
OBJECTIVE: To identify and characterize distinct types of authoritative cardiology-related key opinion leaders (ACKOLs) on Xiaohongshu and examine their communication characteristics and engagement patterns. METHODS: A social media profili…
Endometrial polyps (EPs) are common uterine lesions associated with abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility, yet their pathogenesis remains poorly defined. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of normal endometrium, para-polyp, a…
Ascites, a hallmark of advanced ovarian cancer, severely impairs patient quality of life and contributes to therapeutic resistance. Current management strategies remain primarily palliative, highlighting the urgent need to elucidate the und…
Endometriosis is an estrogen dependent disease, which is related to infertility. Decidualization is a prerequisite for successful implantation of human embryos, and endometriosis affects the occurrence of decidualization. However, the mecha…
Macrophages, as the predominant phagocytes, play an essential role in pathogens defense and tissue homeostasis maintenance. In the context of cancer, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have evolved into cunning actors involved in angiogene…
In recent decades, the pharmacological properties of botanical drugs have been investigated with increasing depth, offering novel insights into their potential for enhancing healthcare. Berberine (BBR) is an alkaloid extracted from the root…
Endometriosis is a hormone dependent disease that often accompanies infertility. At present, the incidence rate of endometriosis is on the rise, but its pathogenesis and the mechanism leading to fertility reduction are still unclear. Here, …
OBJECTIVE: To characterize the reproductive tract microbiota in patients with ovarian chocolate cysts (CC) and adenomyosis (AM) compared to controls (NC), and investigate the in vitro effects of representative differential bacteria on human…
Endometriosis has been linked to several systemic complications, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), atrial fibrillation (AF), heart failure (HF), hypertension, stroke, and ischemic stroke. The potential causal relationship between endo…
OBJECTIVES: Early identification of sarcopenia in patients with chronic liver disease is crucial for patient management and prevention of severe complications. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of Ishii score, Strength, Assistance with W…
Ovarian endometriosis is a common gynecological disease, and one of its most significant symptoms is infertility. In patients with endometriosis, defects in endometrial decidualization lead to impaired endometrial receptivity and embryo imp…
Ovarian endometriosis is a common gynecological disease, and one of its most significant symptoms is infertility. In patients with endometriosis, defects in endometrial decidualization lead to impaired endometrial receptivity and embryo imp…
OBJECTIVE: To study the correlation of Triclosan (TCS) exposure with typing and staging of endometriosis, and with other potential influencing factors. METHODS: This was a retrospective study. Thirty two patients that were diagnosed with e…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the predictive value of three-dimensional ultrasound assessment of endometrial receptivity in PGD/PGS transplantation patients on pregnancy outcome. METHODS: 280 patients undergoing PGD/PGS transplantation were en…
BACKGROUNDS: Vitamin D is considered as a nutrient protecting individuals against an array of diseases based on observational studies. Such a protective effect, however, has not been demonstrated by randomized controlled trials. This study …
OBJECTIVE: To systematically investigate the clinical efficacy and prognosis of laparoscopic surgery combined with drug therapy for endometriosis. METHODS: Clinical randomized controlled trials regarding laparoscopic surgery combined with …
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether seasonal variations and meteorological factors influence pregnancy outcomes in women undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatment. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Univ…
BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that abnormalities in the decidualization process were closely related to recurrent implantation failure (RIF). Prokineticin 2 (PK2) is a secreted protein with angiogenic and tissue remodeling functions but it…
BACKGROUND: We aimed to compare the clinical and perinatal outcomes of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) treatment with either an early-follicular lo…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the results of in vitro fertilization among polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients using the long-acting long protocol regarding the relationship between menstrual patterns and adverse pregnancy outcomes. DESIG…
PURPOSE: Incidental gallbladder cancer (IGBC) is defined as gallbladder cancer (GBC) that is accidentally discovered during cholecystectomy to treat benign lesions. We aimed to compare the prognosis of IGBC patients who underwent simultaneo…
Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a novel type of small noncoding RNAs, which are 26-30 nt in length and bind to Piwi proteins. These short RNAs were originally discovered in germline cells and are considered as key regulators for germline…
The eutopic endometrium has been suggested to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis. However, the specific genes in eutopic endometrium responsible for the pathogenesis of adenomyosis still remain to be elucidated. We aim t…
