Mesothelioma in the past has been strongly associated with a history of asbestos exposure. Studies have shown that, on average, a higher dose of asbestos exposure is required for the development of peritoneal mesothelioma, and a smaller per…
PURPOSE: Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder, yet data on the role of trace metal elements in its risk remain limited. We aimed to investigate the relationship between serum copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg) …
OBJECTIVE: This study is conducted to investigate whether serum microRNA (miR)-141-3p can serve as a biomarker for early-stage diagnosis of endometriosis. METHODS: A total of 246 patients who underwent laparoscopic examination and were dia…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a common condition that causes dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility, affecting millions of women worldwide. Despite the use of assisted reproductive technology, EMs patients often experience …
In this comprehensive review, we delve into the evolution of drug delivery systems in reproductive medicine with a focus on the emerging role of exosomes, a class of extracellular vesicles. Exosomes offer unique advantages in overcoming the…
The versatile epigenetic modification known as N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been demonstrated to be pivotal in numerous physiological and pathological contexts. Nonetheless, the precise regulatory mechanisms linking m6A to histone modificat…
PURPOSE: Hydrosalpinx reduces the pregnancy outcomes of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Tubal occlusion has been shown to improve IVF-ET success; however, the optimal timing of oocyte retrieval and the molecular changes…
Background/Objectives: Aromatase plays a crucial role in the conversion of androgens to oestrogens and is often overexpressed in hormone-dependent tumours, particularly breast cancer. [18F]BIBD-071, which has excellent binding affinity for …
BACKGROUND: Intrauterine device (IUD) migration leading to vesicouterine fistula (VUF) with vesical calculi is rare. This case is notable due to the absence of typical Youssef’s syndrome symptoms and the insidious presentation of a Type III…
BackgroundCholangiocarcinoma is a common hepatic malignant tumor with an unfavorable prognosis. Therefore, we systematically evaluated the transcriptomic landscape of CHOL by whole transcriptome sequencing technology in this study and const…
Advanced maternal age (AMA, ≥35 years) women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) face reduced live birth rates (LBR) and remain a major clinical challenge. In a large randomized trial, Zishen Yutai Pill (ZYP) improved LBR in t…

BackgroundNuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are sophisticated and dynamic protein structures that straddle the nuclear envelope and act as gatekeepers for transporting molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. NPCs comprise up to 30 diff…
Myocardial infarction (MI) results in cardiomyocyte necrosis and conductive system damage, leading to sudden cardiac death and heart failure. Studies have shown that conductive biomaterials can restore cardiac conduction, but cannot facilit…
BackgroundWhile there is a scarcity of studies utilizing strain elastography (SE) for the endometrium, commonly used gynecologic ultrasound instruments are equipped with built-in elastography modalities, primarily SE. With the objective of …
ObjectiveThis study assesses the effectiveness and safety of single-port laparoscopic myomectomy (SPLM) versus conventional laparoscopic myomectomy (CLM).MethodsWe conducted a retrospective case-control study at a university tertiary hospit…
While the link between female reproductive function and cardiovascular health (CVH) is well-established, the association between pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and CVH remains largely unexplored. This study, therefore, sets out to fill t…
IntroductionApoptosis and chronic inflammation are the main phenotypes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) pathogenesis. Cigarette smoke exposure is the leading risk factor for COPD, which causes aberrant airway epithelial struc…
BackgroundAbdominal pregnancy is characterized by the implantation of the gestational sac within the peritoneal cavity, specifically outside the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and cervix. This exceedingly rare form of ectopic pregnancy accounts …
