BackgroundGlycolysis, a classic characteristic of cancer cells, can drive cancer progression by generating lactate, which play as a key immunosuppressive mediator. Currently, ubiquitin-specific proteases 5 (USP5) has been demonstrated to fa…

Irpex lacteus is a fungus typically found on angiosperm branches and trunks. Here, we report the isolation of a novel strain of I. lacteus from the cervix uteri of a female patient diagnosed with endometriosis and COVID-19 at Beijing Obstet…

The incidence of patients diagnosed with either breast cancer (BC) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing each year. IBD has been shown to be strongly associated with the development of a variety of solid tumors, but the relation…

RATIONALE: Spontaneous uterine rupture, although rare, is a life-threatening obstetric emergency with a high maternal and fetal mortality rate. It can occur without warning, leading to severe complications, including hemorrhage, shock, and …

Ovarian endometrioma (OE) is a common gynecological condition characterized by the formation of "chocolate cysts". Recent research indicates that the cyst fluid acts as a "toxic environment" for the ovary and plays a significant role in the…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common chronic gynecological condition characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, leading to chronic inflammation, pelvic nodules and masses, pelvic pain, and infertility. …

BACKGROUND: An increasing body of observational studies have indicated an association between gut microbiota and endometriosis. However, the causal relationship between them is not yet clear. In this study, we employed Mendelian randomizati…
