OBJECTIVE: Observational studies suggest that blood lipids are a risk factor for uterine fibroids (UFs) and that lipid-lowering drugs are beneficial for the treatment and prevention of UF; however, the conclusions are inconsistent. We aimed…
As one of the three major malignant tumors in women, the morbidity of endometrial cancer is second only to that of cervical cancer and is increasing yearly. Its etiological mechanism is not clear, and the risk factors are numerous and commo…
The gut microbiota is a complex community of microorganisms that inhabit the human gastrointestinal tract, helping to maintain the ecological balance of the body's internal and external environments. Disruptions in the composition and diver…
Histone lactylation is crucial in a variety of physiopathological processes; however, the function and mechanism of histone lactylation in endometriosis remain poorly understood. Therefore, the objective of this investigation was to illumin…
BACKGROUND: Hypoxia plays a critical role in both physiological and pathological processes. Cells adapt to hypoxia through the extensive reprogramming of gene expression. While the transcriptional regulations of hypoxia-inducible factors (H…
Sheep (Ovis aries) are valuable biomedical models for studying human reproductive biology, however, the transcriptional dynamics underlying their ovarian development remain insufficiently characterized. In this study, we profiled 61,649 sin…
Iron is an essential micronutrient element for human. It participates in energy metabolism, enzyme activation, immune system and other metabolic functions. In this review, the potential role of iron in female reproductive health were consid…
In this study, we evaluated the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in a 44-year-old woman with leiomyomatosis peritoneal disseminata (LPD), who presented with a progressively enlarging lower abdominal mass, persistent distension, and…
Infertility is an increasingly prevalent global health issue affecting millions of couples. It can arise from various factors, including hormonal imbalances, reproductive disorders, and anatomical abnormalities. While numerous treatment opt…
Abnormal apoptosis both maintains endometrial cell growth and induces endometrial pathogenesis. The etiology of endometriosis is unclear and no treatment is curative. Therefore, the aim herein was to identify genes involved in the pathogene…
Chronic pain imposes incalculable health and economic burdens, affecting more than 30% of the global population in published studies. Optimal management of chronic pain is imperative for individuals experiencing such distress. Nevertheless,…
INTRODUCTION: Metabolic syndrome is a serious public health concern across the globe. However, the typical metabolites and mechanisms underlying the decreased fertility related to metabolic syndrome is still elusive. OBJECTIVES: The aim of…
BACKGROUND: Menopause, endometriosis, miscarriage, and female infertility are health issues affecting women worldwide (nearly half the global population). The biomedical literature is human-readable and evergrowing with around 3.5K papers p…
Abnormal post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a crucial role in tumor initiation and progression. However, the mechanisms by which lncRNAs, as emerging epigenetic regulators, mediate PTMs remain largely unexplored. This review provi…
Oxazole, a five-membered aromatic heterocycle featuring a nitrogen and an oxygen atom separated by a carbon atom, and its isomer isoxazole, with directly attached oxygen and nitrogen atoms, have been pivotal in medicinal chemistry. Over the…
The significance of multi-combination machine learning models utilizing vision transformer (VIT) features in forecasting pathological complete response (pCR) after breast cancer neoadjuvant therapy (NAT). A retrospective study was conducted…
BACKGROUND: Preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) has been widely utilized to select euploid embryos in patients carrying balanced chromosomal rearrangements (BCRs) by chromosome copy number anal…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate enhancer-mediated regulation of progesterone receptor (PGR) isoforms, PGR-A and PGR-B, in human endometrial stromal cells, and to determine how isoform modulation shapes the progesterone-responsive transcriptome an…
INTRODUCTION: Emerging evidence indicates that dysregulated palmitic acid (PA) homeostasis plays a key role in inducing lipotoxicity and cellular dysfunction in mammalian endometrial epithelial cells. While this phenomenon has been document…
Endometriosis (EMs) is a prevalent benign gynecological disorder characterized by dysmenorrhea and infertility, significantly impacting women's health and quality of life. Currently, the pathogenesis of EMs remains incompletely elucidated. …
BACKGROUND: Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) is a heterogeneous syndrome characterized by ovarian dysfunction, frequently associated with autoimmune factors. The interaction between peripheral and ovarian immune signals remains unclear. Rece…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a hormone-dependent disease, which can usually be divided into peritoneal endometriosis (PEM), deep-infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and ovarian endometriosis (OEM). Although the three pathologic types are essen…
The pathogenesis of stress urinary incontinence (SUI), a condition common in women, remains to be fully elucidated. This study revealed that the incidence of SUI is associated with mitochondrial homeostasis dysregulation following oxidative…
Endometriosis (EMs) is a common gynecological disorder frequently associated with infertility, yet the underlying immune mechanisms remain poorly understood. Sun's Bushen Huayu Formula (BSHYF) has been clinically applied to improve fertilit…
The present study aimed to explore whether there is an association between the transfer of frozen thawed embryos (FET) obtained during SARS-CoV-2 infection and an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. We performed a case-control coh…
