Maternal depression and anxiety are common perinatal conditions; however, large-scale, nationally representative evidence on their association with a comprehensive range of obstetric and neonatal outcomes remains limited. The study utilized…
BackgroundSpermidine is involved in a wide range of cellular processes, including mammalian oocyte development. Wheat germ is a natural source of polyamines and contains high concentrations of spermidine. However, no studies have evaluated …
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis and major depressive disorder (MDD) pose significant global health burdens. Despite pathophysiological overlaps, existing epidemiological studies predominantly examine their unidirectional associations, often const…
Mesothelioma cysts are benign tumor-like lesions derived from mesothelial cells. They mainly affect the peritoneum of the pelvic and abdominal cavities, and are more commonly found in the mesentery and greater omentum, while they are less l…
BACKGROUND: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) impose significant clinical and economic burdens on healthcare systems globally. Patients in obstetrics and gynecology face unique vulnerabilities; however, population-specif…
BACKGROUND: Effective individualized tools to predict cumulative live birth rates are lacking for patients with ovarian endometriomas undergoing In Vitro Fertilization or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection after ultrasound-guided ethanol scle…
BackgroundThe impact of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) on female sexual function remains a controversial and often overlooked issue. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of three common LARC methods on female sexual functio…
STUDY QUESTION: What is the optimal timing of progesterone exposure to achieve live births for day-6 blastocysts in artificial frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles? SUMMARY ANSWER: Live birth rates (LBRs) were comparable between day-…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder involving ectopic endometrial tissue growth. This study investigated IL-33, CD1c+ dendritic cells (DCs) and their co-stimulatory molecules (CD40, CD80, CD86), and IL-17 A in…
Decidualization of human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) is one of the critical steps in the establishment of human pregnancy. Nevertheless, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying human decidualization. In this study, w…
BACKGROUND: Inflammation is central to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. High-density lipoprotein (HDL)-related lipid ratios have been proposed as indicators of systemic metabolic inflammation, yet their associations with endometriosis sta…
BackgroundHomocysteine (Hcy) is a sulfur-containing intermediate metabolite during methionine metabolism. Studies indicate that individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have higher circulating Hcy levels relative to unaffected popu…
Severe pneumonia is the leading cause of mortality in individuals with lung disease. Programmed cell death (PCD) is implicated in various pathologies; however, the precise relationship between severe pneumonia and PCD remains unclear. This …
BackgroundRecurrent reproductive failure (RRF), encompassing repeated implantation failure and pregnancy loss, remains a major challenge in assisted reproductive technology (ART). Autoimmune factors have been implicated in adverse reproduct…
The genetic architecture of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has not been fully elucidated. Translating genome-wide association study (GWAS) loci into functional effector genes represents a key challenge for elucidating disease mechanisms a…
BackgroundThe effectiveness of luteinizing hormone (LH) supplementation during assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles remains controversial, particularly among women of advanced reproductive age. This study aimed to compare the cumul…
This study explores how quercetin may treat endometriosis (EMs) by combining network pharmacology and transcriptome sequencing approaches. Through network pharmacology, 132 shared targets between quercetin and EMs were identified, with KEGG…
BACKGROUND: Endometrial receptivity (ER) serves as a critical determinant for successful embryo implantation, yet its molecular complexity and limited clinical assessment methods pose significant challenges. Despite advancements in assisted…
BACKGROUND: Irregular sleep and eating patterns in modern lifestyles may disrupt reproductive rhythms, thereby impairing reproductive function in adult women. In livestock production, improper management may disturb livestock eating and act…
BackgroundCervical clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCAC) and cervical endometrioid adenocarcinoma (CEAC) are rare and aggressive non-HPV-associated malignancies. Despite their histological similarities, these subtypes demonstrate distinct biolog…
Objectives: Although blastocyst transfer may improve embryo selection and early pregnancy outcomes, its impact on live birth in women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) remains uncertain. This study compared reproductive and perinata…
Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) is a rare subtype of ovarian cancer arising from the malignant transformation of endometriosis (EMS). Despite growing clinical awareness, its underlying pathogenic mechanisms are not fully unde…
BACKGROUND: LY01021 is a novel oral small-molecule gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist intended for the treatment of various sex hormone-dependent disorders. This study aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharm…
Pregnant women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) have an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), potentially linked to altered immune regulation, but the underlying circulating immune features remain unclear. …
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis (AM) is a common gynecological disorder in reproductive-age women, with impaired endometrial receptivity as a key contributor to infertility. However, a comprehensive single-cell atlas of the eutopic endometrium duri…
