Ectopic splenosis is a disorder caused by the overflow of splenic myeloid cells or intravascular migration after splenic trauma or splenectomy. It is often asymptomatic and detected incidentally during imaging evaluation. Splenosis lacks sp…

BackgroundThis study systematically investigated phenotypes causally associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) across the phenome and validated the findings at cognitive and neuroimaging levels using real-world clinical data.MethodsWe perfor…

BackgroundThe potentially risky effects of metabolites of phthalates (mPAEs) on inflammation and immune function have attracted much attention in recent years. However, direct studies on the relationship between these metabolites and the sy…

Natural killer (NK) cells are critical regulators of immune processes during early pregnancy, playing a key role in maintaining maternal-foetal immune tolerance and supporting successful implantation. In particular, uterine NK cells, a spec…

Transient receptor potential melastatin M3 (TRPM3) channels have been recognized as a pain transducer in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in recent years. TRPM3 activation initiates neurogenic inflammation and is required for the developm…

BackgroundKlinefelter syndrome (KS) and Turner syndrome (TS) are chromosomal disorders characterized by gonadal dysgenesis, leading to male and female infertility, respectively. There is a significant gap in epidemiological data on infertil…

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a systemic disease closely related to inflammatory cell infiltration and immune cell activation, often leading to myocardial infarction and stroke and is the leading cause of death worldwide. AS is asymptomatic in it…

Neuropathic pain (NP) is caused by primary damage and dysfunction of nervous system, in which spinal cord injury (SCI) is a common cause of NP. Evidence shows that neuroinflammation and oxidative stress are related to the pathophysiology of…

Progressive dysmenorrhea and extensive fibrosis within the myometrium are hallmark features of adenomyosis (AM). Approximately 80% of patients with AM experience secondary dysmenorrhea, which occurs more frequently in AM than in other gynec…

Significant physiological changes occur in both the fetus and the mother during pregnancy. Urine proteins have been shown to reflect a wide range of physiological and pathological changes in the body. This study employed low-abundance prote…

ObjectiveChronic inflammation is a key contributor to carcinogenesis, progression, and chemoresistance in ovarian cancer, making inflammatory pathways a logical therapeutic target for the treatment of this disease. Sulindac, a commonly used…

The NLRP3 inflammasome is a multi-subunit complex consisting of the NLRP3 receptor protein, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein (ASC), and the effector protein caspase-1. The activation mechanisms of the NLRP3 inflammasome are diverse a…

BackgroundInfertility poses a significant burden on both global and national scales. However, the epidemiology of primary infertility among reproductive-aged couples in China remains poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to investi…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease, characterized by overgrowth of endometrial glands and stroma in the myometrium, however its exact pathophysiology still remains uncertain. Emerging evidence has demonstrated the ele…

Abnormal trophoblast self-renewal and differentiation during early gestation is the major cause of miscarriage, yet the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we show that trophoblast specific deletion of Kat8, a MYST family…

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a vital pathological feature of silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis. However, whether circRNA is involved in the process remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the role of circPVT1 i…

The high comorbidity of major depressive disorder (MDD) with other diseases has been well-documented. However, the pairwise causal connections for MDD comorbid networks are poorly characterized. We performed Phenome-wide Mendelian randomiza…

BackgroundEvidence from observational studies and clinical trials has associated gut microbiota with infectious diseases. However, the causal relationship between gut microbiota and infectious diseases remains unclear.MethodsWe identified g…

Heart and neural crest derivatives expressed transcript 2 (HAND2) is a critical mediator of progesterone action in endometrial stromal cells. Silencing of Hand2 expression in mouse uterus leads to an unopposed FGFR-mediated action that caus…

IMPORTANCE: Adenomyosis is a common chronic gynecological disorder, and its treatment is an unmet need. New therapies need to be developed. Mifepristone is being tested for adenomyosis treatment. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether mifepriston…

It has been demonstrated that scar tissue and fibrosis may increase the likelihood of developing malignancies. Specifically, scar tissue has been linked to the occurrence and progression of lung cancer (LC), though the precise mechanisms ne…

HAND2 is a critical mediator of progesterone receptor signaling in endometrium. Silencing of HAND2 expression is associated with female infertility and endometrial cancers. We recently observed that lncRNA HAND2-AS1 and HAND2 are expressed …

PURPOSE: Exploring the status and related factors of postoperative recurrence of ovarian endometriosis. METHODS: This study analyzed the results of questionnaires conducted in 27 hospitals across the country from January 2019 to November 2…
