Adenomyosis (AM) is a common gynecological disorder with high prevalence among women of childbearing age. Although hysterectomy is the definitive treatment, it is considered unsuitable for patients who wish to preserve fertility, creating a…
Red meat consumption is widespread globally and has been associated with endometriosis (EMS) progression, although the precise underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, we aimed to explore the mechanisms by which a red mea…
BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is a prevalent form of cancer worldwide, presenting a substantial risk to human well-being. Lung cancer is classified into two main types: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The adv…
BACKGROUND: This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine in treating postoperative acute pain through a clinical randomized controlled trial. METHODS: This study selected 165 patients who underwent general anes…
Non-invasive liquid biopsy is a promising strategy for ovarian cancer (OC) detection. We evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of a multi-analyte approach combining circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detection with protein biomarkers for early …
RATIONALE: Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) has diverse ischemic etiologies and has been defined by the absence of angiographically significant obstructive coronary artery disease. Blood transfusion has s…
Gynecologic cancers (GCs), including cervical cancer (CC), ovarian cancer (OC), endometrial cancer (EC), as well as vulvar and vaginal cancers, represent major health threats to women, with increasing incidence rates observed globally. Conv…
Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the myometrium associated with adenomyosis is exceedingly rare. We present a case involving a 49-year-old female patient who experienced irregular menstruation for 3 months and was initially misdiagn…
OBJECTIVE: Emerging evidence links endometriosis with co-exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates; however, their combined toxicogenomic mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the shared molecular pathways of BPA and phthala…
The DNA repair enzyme 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1) plays a crucial role in the initiation of DNA base excision repair pathway by recognizing and excising the oxidative base lesions including 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). Beyon…
Mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma is a new class of rare subtypes of the female reproductive system. Its clinical symptoms are similar to other types of ovarian tumors. The diagnosis is based on pathological and immunohistochemical methods. T…
RNA methylation is widespread in nature. Abnormal expression of proteins associated with RNA methylation is strongly associated with a number of human diseases including cancer. Increasing evidence suggests that targeting RNA methylation ho…
Background: Diffuse uterine leiomyomatosis is a benign disease with a low incidence rate, mainly manifested as menorrhagia and infertility. Due to its clinical manifestations similar to multiple uterine myomas or adenomyosis, it is often mi…
The anatomical positions of pelvic floor organs are maintained by ligaments and muscles. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) occurs when the pelvic floor tissues are repeatedly stimulated by excessive mechanical tension that exceeds the beari…
Abstract Background Polypoid endometriosis (PEM) is rare benign tumors with morphological features resembling malignant tumors. We aimed to analyze the clinicopathological features and outcomes of patients with PEM, and compare them to case…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the combination of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), mifepristone, and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in adenomyosis treatment. METHODS: HIFU treatment was per…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of postoperative gonadotrophin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) therapy before treatment with intrauterine insemination (IUI) for infertile females with stage I-II endometriosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Ninet…
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved catabolic process that can degrade cytoplasmic materials and recycle energy to maintain metabolite homeostasis in cells. Autophagy is closely related to various physiological or pathological processe…
Total number born (TNB), number of stillborn (NSB), and gestation length (GL) are economically important traits in pig production, and disentangling the molecular mechanisms associated with traits can provide valuable insights into their ge…
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: The purpose of this study was to report our experience in treating multiple ureteral polyps with transabdominal laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy (LAP-UU) with intraoperative retrograde ureteroscopy (RU)-assisted technique. METH…
The anatomical positions of pelvic floor organs are maintained mainly by ligaments and muscles. Long-term excessive mechanical tension stimulation of pelvic floor tissue beyond the endurance of ligaments or muscles will lead to the occurren…
The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effect of integrin β1 in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) by electrical stimulation, and the underlying mechanisms by which electrical stimulation regulates th…
BACKGROUND: The large-conductance, voltage-gated, calcium (Ca (2+))-activated potassium channel (BKCa) plays an important role in regulating Ca (2+) signaling and cell physiological function, and is aberrantly expressed in some types of can…
