Backgroud: Laparoscopic adenomyomectomy combined with intraoperative placement of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUS) is a novel conservative surgical procedure for adenomyosis. Our study aimed to compare the efficacy of surgery with or without intraoperative placement of LNG-IUS treatment in adenomyosis.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of adenomyosis patients who received laparoscopic adenomyomectomy from January 2014 to April 2020, finally including 70 patients undergoing surgery-LNG-IUS as group A and 69 patients undegoing surgery only as group B.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the risk factors for intrauterine device (IUD) embedment in postmenopausal women.
Methods: A total of 731 women who underwent hysteroscopy for IUD removal from January 2019 to December 2021 were included in the trial, of whom 301 were diagnosed with IUD embedment (embedded group) and 430 had a normal IUD location (control group). The following data were collected from electronic medical records: demographic traits, ultrasound findings, IUD shapes, uterine features, and hysteroscopy findings.
Research Question: Could extracellular vesicle-derived long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) serve as promising circulating biomarkers for endometriosis?
Design: To obtain novel diagnostic markers, 85 patients with endometriosis were enrolled as the endometriosis group and 86 unaffected participants as the control group. RNA sequencing was performed to identify extracellular vesicle-derived lncRNA that were differentially expressed between women with endometriosis (n = 5) and unaffected participants (n = 6). Messenger RNA and lncRNA sequences of the plasma extracellular vesicles were analysed using Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses.
