Background: Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) leads to not only infertile but several adverse health events to women. Traditional treatment methods have their own set of limitations and drawbacks that vary in degree. Application of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (hUCMSC) is a promising strategy for POI.

Objectives: Adenomyosis is a common and refractory disease in gynecology. Preserving the uterus during treatment for adenomyosis remains a problem. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is widely used in treatment of solid tumors.

Patients with schwannomas are asymptomatic and a retroperitoneal schwannoma is often misdiagnosed as an adnexal mass. In the present study, we describe a 58-year-old woman in whom a right adnexal mass accompanied by endometrial polyp was found incidentally through transvaginal ultrasound.

Although hysteroscopic adhesiolysis is widely recommended as an effective treatment, prognosis and recurrence remain poor in severe cases. Recently, stem cell therapy has been promoted as a promising treatment for IUAs.

Uterine sarcoma, though with very low incidence, has a high malignant degree and poor prognosis. It has difficulties in preoperative diagnosis, frozen pathological examination and postoperative treatment.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFibrosis diseases result from excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins which lead to normal tissue being replaced by fibrotic tissue or scar and eventually cause organ failure. Endometrial fibrosis is defined as the physiological endometrium becoming fibrosed, also known as intrauterine adhesions (IUA) or Asherman's syndrome, which progressively impairs endometrial function. On the basis of the fibrosis pathology, prevention of endometrial fibrosis is fundamental for IUA treatment, and elucidating the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying endometrial fibrosis is imperative.
