Primary infertility affects 15% of couples worldwide, yet many genetic causes remain unknown. Through whole-exome sequencing of a woman with primary infertility and repeated embryo implantation failure, we identified a novel homozygous fram…

BACKGROUND: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) contribute to female infertility by causing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and fallopian tube damage. Utilizing the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database, we aim to comprehensively eva…

Endometriosis (EM) is a prevalent gynecological disorder linked to pelvic pain, menstrual disturbances, and infertility. Despite its clinical burden, the molecular mechanisms underlying EM remain elusive, necessitating the discovery of nove…

BACKGROUND: The benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy for stage I ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC) remains controversial. Hence, the study sought to explore its value in stage I OEC patients. METHODS: Stage I OEC patients (1988-2018) were i…

BACKGROUND: Gasless transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (G-vNOTES) can avoid complications related to pneumoperitoneum, but there is limited research on G-vNOTES. Here, we aimed to compare the hemodynamic profiles a…

Infertility poses considerable challenges to both the endocrine system and psychological well-being of affected women. In particular, those undergoing Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) confront not only physiological demands but also s…

SuoquanYishen formula (SQYSF), a traditional Chinese herbal prescription for treating diabetic kidney disease (DKD), has demonstrated clinical efficacy in lowering blood glucose and alleviating renal damage. Emerging evidence implicates cel…

PURPOSE: The preoperative diagnosis of endometriosis associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) remains challenging for lack of effective diagnostic biomarker. We aimed to study clinical characteristics and develop a nomogram for diagnosing EAOC befo…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) is difficult to diagnose because of its low incidence, uncertain risk factors, and the absence of effective markers. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of E…

Cell senescence is the growth arrest caused by the accumulation of irreparable cell damage, which is involved in physiological and pathological processes and regulated by the post-transcriptional level. This regulation is performed by trans…

Objective: While several drugs have been linked to acute pancreatitis (AP), the AP-related risk of most drugs remains unclear. This study investigated the risk factors for drug-induced AP by analyzing a large dataset from the FDA Adverse Ev…

The influence of B vitamins on human fertility and infertility treatments remains elusive. Therefore, this study investigated the association of most B vitamins with IVF-ET outcomes. A total of 216 subjects aged <35 year in their first oocy…

BACKGROUND: Periodontal diseases and poor oral hygiene are potentially associated with decreased female fecundability. Fecundability refers to the probability of conception during a given period measured in months or menstrual cycles. This …

Ovarian cancer is a common and complex malignancy with poor prognostic outcome. Most women with ovarian cancer are diagnosed with advanced stage disease due to a lack of effective detection strategies in the early stage. Traditional treatme…

Abstract In endometriosis, an aberrant immune response in the peritoneal environment is evident, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In recent years, some emerging data support an important role for the changes in intracellular me…

Endometriosis is widely associated with infertility in women of childbearing age, for which there have been no effective treatments. Recent studies suggest that the dysregulation of RNAs contributes to the pathogenesis of endometriosis, so …

Abstract Background Abnormal FTO expression causes faulty m6A modifications in mRNA and affects tumor progression. However, the expression and function of FTO in endometrial cancer (EC) and the genes regulated by FTO remain unclear.Methods…

BACKGROUND: This study intends to explore whether lncRNA ANRIL has an influence on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with acute myocardial infarction (MI) and to further investigate the underlying mechanism. METHODS: The ANRIL le…

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) exert tumor-promoting effects. There have been reports that estrogen receptors (ERs) are expressed on the infiltrating macrophages of endometriosis, ovarian cancer and lung cancer. However, the role of ER…

Low FMR1 variants (CGGn<26) have been associated with premature ovarian aging, female infertility and poor IVF treatment success. Until now, there is little published information concerning possible molecular mechanisms for this effect. We …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this meta-analysis is to explore the beneficial role of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) on infertile women under artificial reproduction technology treatment. METHOD: Medline, Embase and ISI Web of Scien…

Background: Gut microbiota can interact with the central nervous system through the gut-brain axis, thus affecting the host's chronic stress level, such as anxiety and depression. Current researches show that patients with endometriosis oft…

In order to determine the effect of B7‑H4 on the development of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the expression levels of B7‑H4 were evaluated using reverse transcription‑polymerase chain reaction and flow cytometry in HL‑7702 and Huh7…

OBJECTIVE: Adenomyosis is a common benign gynecological disease which has some malignant behaviors. Programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) is a newly identified tumor suppressor gene which lowly expresses in various cancers. However, the expressio…
