Cytokine and chemokine profiles in women with endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, and unexplained infertility
Cytokine. 2024 Mar 30;178:156588. doi: 10.1016/j.cyto.2024.156588. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNumerous factors (including immunological, congenital, hormonal, and morphological disorders) can lead to infertility. In this regard, 3 specific diseases associated with infertility are discussed in this review study (i.e., polycystic ovary syndrome [PCOS], endometriosis [EMS], and unexplained infertility [UI]). PCOS is a common endocrine disorder characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation, and EMS is a benign disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue. UI refers to couples who are unable to conce...

A Meta-analysis of the Efficacy and Safety of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Treating Endometriosis
CONCLUSION: The meta-analysis results confirmed that TCM treatment exhibited better efficacy in managing endometriosis, resulting in higher pregnancy rates, lower abortion rates, and a reduced probability of adverse reactions. These findings not only hold promise for improving the overall quality of life for patients but also offer practical implications for clinicians. The positive outcomes suggest that integrating TCM into endometriosis management could be considered as part of a comprehensive approach to enhance treatment effectiveness and minimize adverse effects, thereby providing clinicians and patients with valuable...

The Effect of Perioperative Comprehensive Nursing on Patients Undergoing Ovary Endometriosis Laparoscopic Surgery
CONCLUSION: Comprehensive perioperative nursing interventions for patients with ovarian endometriosis undergoing laparoscopic surgery considerably accelerate patient recovery and enhance nursing compliance, as well as minimize patient negative emotions and improve patient satisfaction with nursing. The comprehensive approach addresses the specific needs of patients during the recovery period, minimizing postoperative complications, accelerating patient recovery, and improving overall quality of life. By integrating psychological support, tailored strategies for pain management, early mobilization, and prompt intervention f...
