PURPOSE: The growing antimicrobial resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae (N. gonorrhoeae) complicates the elimination of gonococcal infections and increases the risk of female infertility. In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial susc…

Gynecological cancers present significant therapeutic challenges due to heterogeneity, drug resistance, and the lack of precise diagnostic tools. Selenium (Se), an essential trace element with intrinsic anticancer activity, has emerged as a…

ABSTRACT: This retrospective study investigated factors associated with abnormal endometrial peristaltic waves (EPWs) and evaluated the impact of Atosiban intervention on clinical outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. A to…

INTRODUCTION: Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential polyunsaturated fatty acid, modulates gastrointestinal microbiota and host immunity, yet its regulatory mechanisms in dairy cows remain unclear. METHODS: This study investigated how di…

BACKGROUND: Mosaic embryos have been proven to be capable of resulting in live births and have become an option for embryo transfer under certain circumstances. Recent guidelines suggested that embryo morphological scoring should be taken i…

BACKGROUND: To investigate the combined effect of transperineal ultrasound and Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) in the evaluation and monitoring of pelvic floor functions after total hysterectomy. METHODS: Fifty-two women who planned to under…

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Chikusetsusaponin IVa (CHS IVa) as a natural extract from the Panax japonicus (T.Nees) C.A.Mey (P. japonicus), can regulate the immune responses, such as anti-inflammation, which have been applied in treating…

BACKGROUND: Maternal prenatal smoking is known to alter offspring DNA methylation (DNAm). However, there are no effective interventions to mitigate smoking-induced DNAm alteration. OBJECTIVES: This study investigated whether 1-carbon nutri…

Pancreatic cancer is a malignancy with extremely poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the application value of tumour markers and matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) in predicting clinical staging and lymph node metastasis of panc…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease. We previously found that the expression of Activin A was upregulated in the peritoneal fluid of patients with endometriosis. The results of the present study indicated that Activin A induced e…

Previously we reported that LIM1863 colorectal cancer (CRC) cells secrete three distinct extracellular vesicle subtypes - two subpopulations of exosomes (apical EpCAM-Exos and basolateral A33-Exos) and shed microvesicles (sMVs) - with disti…

In this in-vitro study, the effect of prohibitin (PHB) on glucose metabolism in eutopic endometrial stromal cells from women with endometriosis was investigated. Endometrial stromal cells were isolated from endometrium in women with endomet…

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether psychological stress, as well as changes in hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) at different time points during a first in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle, correlates w…
