Perioperative abstinent smokers experience heightened pain sensitivity and increased postoperative analgesic requirements, likely due to nicotine withdrawal-induced hyperalgesia. However, the underlying neural mechanisms in humans remain un…

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been previously associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the health effects of emerging PFAS alternatives on PCOS remain unclear. This study aims to examine the associations …

Currently available classification criteria for obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome (OAPS) are often overly strict and may miss a considerable number of patients with so-called "non-criteria-defined OAPS". We aimed to establish a diagnostic…

Early detection of asymptomatic ovarian cancer (asym-OC) remains a critical challenge, the failure of which underlies its high mortality. Performing serum peptidomic profiling of 843 participants in the cohort SOCFCP, we distill 1,081 initi…

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a frequent inflammatory disorder with outcomes ranging from mild disease to severe forms marked by infection and organ failure. Gut microenvironment disruption and barrier dysfunction are increasingly recognized a…

Lactic acid modification of histones represents an emerging post-translational modification that establishes a critical link between cellular metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic regulation through the covalent binding of lactic acid to h…

Cytoreductive surgery is the treatment protocol for colorectal cancer. Nonetheless, a major medical challenge remains to fully eliminate malignant tumor cells, along with a number of complications such as peritoneal adhesion and tumor perit…

BACKGROUND: Few studies comprehensively examined women's life-course reproductive patterns and the risk of dementia. This study aims to examine the association between women's reproductive life sequence and dementia, and to explore the pote…

PURPOSE: The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetric (FIGO) stage is critical to guiding the treatments of ovarian cancer (OC). We tried to develop a model to predict the FIGO stage of OC through machine learning algorithms wit…

OBJECTIVES: Tuberculosis (TB) is a common cause of infertility in humans, especially in regions with high TB prevalence. However, the impact of latent TB infection (LTBI) on pregnancy outcomes following assisted reproduction in patients wit…

BACKGROUND: Maternal short-term outcomes of postpartum depression (PPD) were widely examined, but little is known about its long-term association with multiple chronic diseases (multimorbidity) in women's later life. This study aims to asse…

BACKGROUND: Gallstones, a common surgical condition globally, affect around 20% of patients. The development of gallstones is linked to abnormal cholesterol and bilirubin metabolism, reduced gallbladder function, insulin resistance, biliary…

BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis can negatively impact both overall health and female reproductive function. This study investigated the relationship between the interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) status and pregnancy outcomes in infertile women…

Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved cellular recycling process that maintains cellular homeostasis. Despite extensive research in endocrine contexts, the role of autophagy in ovarian and testicular steroidogenesis remains elusive. The …

BACKGROUND: Nephrogenic adenoma (NA) is a rare benign tumor that can develop at any site of the urinary system, with the bladder being the most common, followed by the urethra, ureters, renal pelvises, etc. Currently, it is unclear what the…

BACKGROUND: The relationship between sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and prostate cancer is still unknown. Although these inhibitors can influence tumor glycolysis, the underlying mechanism requires further exploration. M…

BACKGROUND: Currently, awareness about platelet count (PC) and its consequences for perinatal outcome have increased, but there is little reliable evidence on fecundability. METHODS: Based on the National Free Pre-conception Check-up Proje…

BACKGROUND: Elagolix, an approved non-peptide GnRH antagonist, shows promise in relieving endometriosis-related pain, but its short- and mid-term efficacy and potential side effects are still under investigation. OBJECTIVE: The aim is to p…

The endometrium is an important part of women's bodies for menstruation and pregnancy. Various proteins are widely expressed on the surface of endometrial cells, and glycosylation is an important post-translational modification of proteins.…

BACKGROUND: Abnormal uterine bleeding associated with ovulatory dysfunction (AUB-O) is a typical gynecological disease that can affect women of various ages. Being able to identify women at risk of AUB-O could allow physicians to take timel…

BACKGROUND: To develop the preoperative prediction of ovarian lesions using regression-based statistics analyses and machine learning methods based on multiple serological biomarkers in China. METHODS: 1137 patients with ovarian lesions in…

eview question / Objective The aim of this study is to comprehensively analyze evidence of elagolix in the treatment of moderateto-severe endometriosis-associated pain.Condition being studied Endometriosis-related pain, such as dysmenorrhea…

The risk of endometriosis (EM), which is a common complex gynaecological disease, is related to genetic predisposition. However, it is unclear how genetic variants confer the risk of EM. Here, via Sherlock integrative analysis, we combined …

Recently, increasing numbers of studies have demonstrated that transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) can be used as a potential target for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. TRPA1 is expressed in both neuronal and non-neuronal…

Cumulus granulosa cells (cGCs) and mural granulosa cells (mGCs), although derived from the same precursors, are anatomically and functionally heterogeneous. They are critical for female fertility by supporting oocyte competence and follicul…
