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…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian endometrioma (OMA) is the most prevalent form of endometriosis. Conservative surgical management of the condition is associated with a relatively high recurrence rate, the degree of which is potentially linked to disease…

To evaluate whether the Spring Festival has an effect on the outcomes of patients undergoing their first embryo transfer (ET) via in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI). We conducted a retrospective cohort study …

BackgroundThe crosstalk between macrophages and trophoblasts plays a crucial role in the development and progression of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). Although M1 macrophages (M1-Mφ) are known to accumulate in RSA decidual tissues, t…

PurposeTo investigate the relationship between blood lead levels (BLLs) and IVF clinical outcomes in infertile females and to further explore the possible involvement of granulosa cell (GC) endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the process.M…

BACKGROUND: Numerous observational studies and randomized controlled trials have recently revealed the associations between circulating antioxidants and the risk of endometriosis, while the underlying causal relationship remains unclear. Th…

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between thyroid dysfunction or thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) and diminished ovarian reserve (DOR).MethodsA total of 2,867 women undergoing their first in-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle at Shenzhen Zhong…

Epigenetic regulation is an important entry point to study the pathogenesis of selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR), and an understanding of the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in sFGR is lacking. Our study aimed to investigate t…

The vaginal microbiome plays an essential role in the reproductive health of human females. As infertility increases worldwide, understanding the roles that the vaginal microbiome may have in infertility and in vitro fertilization (IVF) tre…

BackgroundPatients with colorectal cancer (CRC) often present with multiple comorbidities, and many of these can affect treatment and survival. However, previous comorbidity studies primarily focused on diseases in commonly used comorbidity…

BackgroundMultimorbidity represents a global health challenge, which requires a more global understanding of multimorbidity patterns and trends. However, the majority of studies completed to date have often relied on self-reported condition…

BackgroundIn frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles, endometrial thickness (EMT) has been used routinely as the main clinical monitoring index. However, the current findings are conflicting.MethodThis was a single-center retrospective s…

Endometrial carcinoma (EC) originates from the endometrium and is one of the most common tumors in female patients, and its incidence has continued to increase in recent decades. LncRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis and metastasis of a …

This paper was designed to explore the function of simvastatin as a chemotherapeutic drug on the endometrial cancer (EC) cell proliferation, invasion, and ferroptosis. Firstly, a number of in vitro experiments were conducted to determine th…

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute vasculitis of pediatric populations that may develop coronary artery aneurysms if untreated. It has been regarded as the principal cause of acquired heart disease in children of the developed countries. Int…

In order to compare the clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes of patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) to other epithelial cancer types, a total of 27,290 patients were analyzed, including 2,424 patients with …

BackgroundAlthough several studies have suggested an association between elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) and ovarian cancer risk, others have yielded contradictory results. To address this issue, we conducted a meta-analysis.MethodsStudie…

Thrombospondins are a family of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) was the first member to be identified and is a main player in tumor microenvironment. The diverse functions of TSP1 depend on the interactions betw…

Recent data support a role for SHARP1, a basic helix-loop-helix transcription repressor, in the regulation of malignant cell behavior in several human cancers. However, the expression and role of SHARP1 during the development of endometrial…

In a recent article, Suryawanshi and colleagues reported that alterations of plasma microRNAs (miRNA or miR) may be novel biomarkers for endometriosis and endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (1). However, we have some concerns about the…

Mechanisms governing the metastasis of endometrial carcinoma (EC) are poorly defined. Recent data support a role for the cell surface receptor tyrosine kinase TrkB in the progression of several human tumors. Here we present evidence for a d…
