Causal Association Between Endometriosis and Coronary Heart Disease: Evidence from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and Mendelian Randomization Analysis.

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 investigated the correlation and causality between endometriosis and coronary heart disease.

Efficacy of Acupuncture Combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine Fumigation Therapy in Sequelae of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background And Objective: Acupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine fumigation is increasingly being used in treating sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease (SPID). However, there is a lack of meta-analysis on the effectiveness of acupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine fumigation in treating SPID. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of combining acupuncture with traditional Chinese medicine fumigation in the treatment of SPID.

Therapeutic effects of fenticonazole on bacterial vaginosis in mice.

Bacterial vaginitis (BV) is a syndrome of increased vaginal discharge, fishy smelling leucorrhea, and itching and burning vulva caused by the microecological imbalance in the vagina induced by mixture of Gardnerella vaginalis (GV) and some anaerobic bacteria. Fenticonazole, an imidazole derivative and antimicrobial compound, has been demonstrated to exert effective therapeutic effects in mixed vaginitis. Accordingly, our study was designed to explore the potential role of fenticonazole in GV-infected BV mouse models.

The clinical value of DCE-MRI for differentiating secondary laryngeal cartilage lesions.

To explore the value of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in the assessment of laryngeal cartilage lesions. In this study, 3 groups of cases were selected, including 16 cases benign lesions of the laryngopharynx as the benign group, 17 cases malignant lesions of laryngopharynx as the malignant group and 23 healthy adults as the control group. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging and DCE-MRI were performed with a 3.

A Rare Chordoma-The Epiglottic chordoma.

Chordomas are rare malignant bone tumors. Chordomas originate from notochordal elements. Chordomas have the phenotype of the embryonic notochord, characterized by the dual expression of cytokeratin and brachyury.

Imaging manifestations of juvenile hyaline fibromatosis: a case report and literature review.

Objective: Juvenile hyaline fibromatosis (JHF) is an autosomal recessive condition caused by a mutation in capillary morphogenesis gene 2 (CMG2) on chromosome 4q21. JHF is an extremely rare genetic disorder, and fewer than a hundred cases have been reported worldwide. In this case report, the clinical features, histopathological features and imaging manifestations of a case of JHF are presented.

A prognostic model of patients with ovarian mucinous adenocarcinoma: a population-based analysis.

Background: Ovarian mucinous carcinoma is a disease that requires unique treatment. But for a long time, guidelines for ovarian serous carcinoma have been used for the treatment of ovarian mucinous carcinoma. This study aimed to construct and validate nomograms for predicting the overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with ovarian mucinous adenocarcinoma.

Advances in the medical treatment of adolescent endometriosis.

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 endometriosis is often with delayed diagnosis.

Clinical therapeutic effects of lidocaine combination with flurbiprofen axetil for reducing propofol-induced pain in adults: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Pain on injection is a well-recognized adverse event of propofol administration for the stimulation of general anesthesia. Pre-treatment with lidocaine or flurbiprofen axetil has proven to be effectual in the reduction propofol-induced pain in adults. Nonetheless, only few studies have evaluated the clinical therapeutic effects of lidocaine combination with flurbiprofen axetil to prevent pain on injection of propofol.

Diffusional kurtosis imaging in evaluation of microstructural changes of spinal cord in cervical spondylotic myelopathy feasibility study.

To explore the value of diffusion kurtosis imaging in the changes of spinal cord microstructures in patients with early cervical spondylotic myelopathy.Twenty nine patients with cervical myelopathy were selected in this study. All images were acquired on a 3.

Mammography and MRI manifestations of breast angiosarcoma.

Background: Breast angiosarcoma is rare and previous studies only focus on its pathology. This study aimed to summarize its imaging features.

Methods: Overall 17 patients pathologically confirmed with breast angiosarcoma were recruited.

Clinical and imaging manifestations of primary cardiac angiosarcoma.

Background: To investigate the CT manifestations of primary cardiac angiosarcoma.

Methods: The clinical and CT data for 9 patients with cardiac angiosarcoma were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: The lesions in all nine cases were located in the right atrium.

Diffusion tensor imaging for evaluating perianal fistula: Feasibility study.

To explore the feasibility of using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in the diagnosis of anal fistula and evaluating its activity.Thirty-four patients with perianal fistulas were examined with DTI on a 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before undergoing surgery.

Application of DTI and ARFI imaging in differential diagnosis of parotid tumours.

Objectives: To explore the utility of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging in the diagnosis of parotid tumours.

Methods: 51 patients with parotid tumours were examined with DTI on 3.0-T MRI and ARFI imaging on an ultrasound scanner before surgery.
