BACKGROUND: Small cell carcinoma of the ovary (SCCO) is a rare, highly aggressive malignancy comprising pulmonary type (SCCOPT) and hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT). Clinical presentations are nonspecific, and CT features remain poorly defined. …

IntroductionDiminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is known to reduce the likelihood of achieving pregnancy or live births in women undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Acupuncture maybe effective for DOR, but current e…

AimsThe aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of action of SB on TRP-induced abnormalities of bone metabolism in LNCaP cells.MethodsThe effects of different concentrations of SB and TRP alone and in combination on the prolifera…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Does peritoneal iron overload drive fibrosis in endometriosis through Nrf2 pathway dysfunction and the resulting ferroptosis, and can electroacupuncture intervene in this process? DESIGN: An endometriosis mouse model was…

In brief: Iron overload-induced ferroptosis contributes to ovarian damage in endometriosis, yet effective interventions are lacking. This study shows that electroacupuncture preserves ovarian function by activating the nuclear factor erythr…

Adult endometrial glands undergo cyclic regeneration and development during the menstrual cycle. Their secretions are vital for endometrial functions and early pregnancy, yet the mechanisms controlling gland development are not well underst…

PURPOSE: To systematically evaluate and compare the quality, readability, and query-model consistency of adenomyosis-related content generated by two large language models, ChatGPT (GPT-5) and DeepSeek (R1). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In total…

Objectives: This research sought to examine the impact of gossypol on cervical cancer tumors that have been transplanted subcutaneously in nude mice, as well as the associated risk of liver damage and its underlying mechanisms. Methods: A s…

Phthalate esters (PAEs) and organophosphate esters (OPEs) are pervasive 20 environmental pollutants with endocrine-disrupting properties. Despite growing 21 evidence linking PAE/OPE exposure to female reproductive disorders, the 22 diseases…

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants with potential reproductive toxicity, yet their profiles in follicular fluid and impacts on human fertility remain unclear. Given the importance of diet as…

Endometrial receptivity is essential for implantation and pregnancy, yet the role of the m6A demethylase FTO remains unclear. We examined epithelial Fto and Wnt signaling during the implantation window using CRISPR/Cas9 Fto knockout mice an…

Despite ongoing challenges in developing effective non-surgical and non-hormonal treatments for endometriosis, the psychological manifestations of the disease-particularly anxiety-remain comparatively underexplored. In this study, a hydroge…

BackgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant tumor originating from hepatocytes, characterized by high mortality rates. Follistatin (FST), an inhibitor of follicle-stimulating hormone, correlates with poor prognosis in some cance…

This study aimed to investigate how levels of serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) on Day 7 of ovarian stimulation are related to the number of oocytes retrieved, and identify any cutoff or threshold point in protocols using gonadotropi…

BackgroundSarcopenia, an age-correlated decline in skeletal muscle mass and function, has been increasingly linked to ferroptosis, which is an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation. Nevertheless, the diagn…

BACKGROUND: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification regulates the processes of RNA splicing, subcellular localization, translation and stability by changing the RNA structure and the interaction between RNA and RNA-binding proteins to ensure …

Poor ovarian response (POR) constitutes a notable clinical challenge within the domain of assisted reproductive technology, primarily attributable to the lack of reliable biomarkers for precise diagnosis and treatment. This study reveals si…

BACKGROUND: Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in women, and in recent years, the role of gut microbiota in tumorigenesis has gradually gained attention. Previous studies have shown that the gut microbiome is…

ImportanceTonsillectomy has long been scrutinized for its potential long-term impacts on health, with conflicting evidence linking it to increased risks of several diseases, such as cancer, psychiatric disorders, and immune dysfunctions.Obj…

The paradigm shift of lactate from a mere metabolic byproduct to a pleiotropic signaling molecule, coupled with the discovery of lactylation, provides a crucial framework for understanding how metabolic reprogramming drives systemic patholo…

ObjectiveBy using the propensity score matching (PSM) method, this study compared the pregnancy outcomes of two ovulation induction regimens, clomiphene citrate (CC) and letrozole (LE), in intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles. It aimed to…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by immune microenvironment dysregulation, with the IL-33/ST2L signaling axis playing a crucial role in macrophage polarization and disease progression. Despite growin…

Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a common organ failure in acute pancreatitis (AP) with high mortality. This study used machine learning to predict ARF risk in AP patients through a retrospective, multicenter cohort analysis involving MIM…
