BackgroundIn assisted reproductive technology (ART) laboratories, semen processing is traditionally performed using manual density gradient centrifugation (DGC), which is labor intensive, time consuming, and subject to inter-technician vari…
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a frequent and dose-limiting side effect of oxaliplatin treatment, yet its molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Calcitonin gene-related peptide alpha (CGRPα, encoded by Ca…
BACKGROUND: Benign gallbladder disease, including gallstones, gallbladder polyps, and gallbladder adenomyosis, is one of the most common disorders of the digestive system worldwide and poses a substantial clinical and economic burden. Despi…
PURPOSE: To systematically evaluate and compare the quality, readability, and query-model consistency of adenomyosis-related content generated by two large language models, ChatGPT (GPT-5) and DeepSeek (R1). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In total…
Recent studies have indicated the relationships between the human reproductive system, gut microbiota and immune crosstalk. These interactions can influence pregnancy outcomes, which occasionally result in adverse consequences for the mothe…
Infertility represents a significant global health burden, necessitating advanced therapeutic interventions. While Assisted Reproductive Technologies have revolutionized fertility treatment, they remain constrained by limited efficacy, off-…
BACKGROUND: Pro-EGCG has shown therapeutic promise for endometriosis, yet its immunoregulatory mechanisms remain unclear. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are key drivers of disease progression. This study investigates whether Pro-E…
The gut microbiota has been implicated in pulmonary vascular diseases, yet a direct causal link to pulmonary embolism (PE) remains unestablished. This study aimed to investigate the causal effects of gut microbiota on PE and to explore the …
Dichloroacetate (DCA), as a pan-inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and mitochondrial function. DCA decreases lactic acid synthesis, enhances mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, and reg…
OBJECTIVES: To explore the clinical relevant factors of patients with recurrent and non-recurrent abdominal wall endometriosis after surgical treatment, to further study the relevant risk factors of abdominal wall endometriosis recurrence, …
Introduction and hypothesisFemale bladder pain syndrome (FBPS), previously known as interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). Numerous research indirectly prove that Female bladder pain syndrome (FBPS) is associated with immune-…
BACKGROUND: Uterus ageing is a crucial factor contributing to decreased fertility in older women and is also implicated in menstrual disorders, endometritis, and adenomyosis. Bushen Jianpi Tiaoxue Decoction (BJTD) is a traditional Chinese m…
We present an extremely rare heterotopic pregnancy (HP) in a 33-year-old patient with multiple adenomyosis surgeries and bilateral salpingectomy, who conceived via assisted reproductive technology (ART). According to a review of the literat…
Endometriosis is a benign condition characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis. We report the findings of endometriosis at the rectouterine pouch on 68 Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT scan in a 25-year-old woman. The finding was initially thought…
Recent advances in understanding the modulatory functions of gut and gut microbiota on human diseases facilitated our focused attention on the contribution of the gut to the pathophysiological alterations of many extraintestinal organs, inc…
BackgroundCurrent therapeutic approaches for premature ovarian failure (POF) are often inadequate in clinical practice and some raise ethical concerns. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) have emerged as a preferred optio…
Abstract Background The pathogenesis of adenomyosis remains incompletely understood, and no well-established biomarkers related to its inflammatory mediators have been identified. Aim This retrospective study aimed to investigate the assoc…
OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis increases ovarian cancer (OC) risk through genetic mutations, chronic inflammation, and hormonal dysregulation, yet the underlying molecular pathways remain underexplored. This study aims to identify endometriosis-a…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is characterized by the occurrence, growth, infiltration, and recurrent bleeding of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Recent studies have revealed a close association between Neutrophil Extracellular Tra…
ObjectiveThis study aimed to analyze the trends and epidemiological characteristics of pancreatic cancer (PC) mortality in China from 2004 to 2021, focusing on gender, age, and regional disparities. The goal was to provide a comprehensive u…
Abstract Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of hospitalized patients with benign gallbladder diseases based on a large dataset, and compare these findings with those from the physical examination population in existing liter…
ObjectiveIntrauterine Adhesions (IUA), including Asherman's Syndrome, are a significant cause of female infertility, while stem cell interventions emerge as a promising therapeutic strategy. This meta-analysis aims to systematically evaluat…
BackgroundCancer immunotherapy has emerged as a groundbreaking approach in cancer treatment, primarily realized through the manipulation of immune cells, notably T cell adoption and immune checkpoint blockade. Nevertheless, the manipulation…
Menstruation is a key indicator of female reproductive health, yet clinical features and underlying mechanisms associated with menstrual changes following the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection remain unclear. Here, we recruited …
