OBJECTIVE: To identify if there is a high-risk group for chronic endometritis (CE) in infertile women. METHODS: A retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted on 209 infertile women with CE and 843 women without. Both univariate …

PURPOSE: ARID1A, encoding a component of the switch/sucrose nonfermentable complex, is frequently mutated in urothelial carcinoma. However, its specific impacts on clinical outcomes and CD8+ T-cell functions in urothelial carcinoma remain p…

PURPOSE: The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetric (FIGO) stage is critical to guiding the treatments of ovarian cancer (OC). We tried to develop a model to predict the FIGO stage of OC through machine learning algorithms wit…

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) mainly depends on liver fibrosis/cirrhosis, which is regulated by tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME), and is a crucial factor in tumor progression. This study aimed to identify abnormally express…

OBJECTIVE: The causative role of gut microbiota in pancreatitis remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate potential causal associations between gut microbiota and pancreatitis, using bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysi…

BACKGROUND: Hysteroscopic septum resection has been a widespread technique throughout the world in women with a septate uterus. The effectiveness of hysteroscopic septum resection before IVF was equivocal. This study aimed to investigate wh…

BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from umbilical cord blood (UCB) exhibit significant therapeutic efficacy in endometriosis; however, the molecular mechanisms governing their regulation remain incompletely elucidated. This …

The incidence of malignant tumors continues to grow. Still, with the rapid development of various diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, the survival rate of malignant tumors has been improved, and the increased survival rate has introduced…

BACKGROUND: Growing evidence suggests that environmental pollutants exert a detrimental impact on female fertility. Among these pollutants, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), easily encountered in the environment, have garnered significant …

Diseases of the female reproductive system are prevalent. These conditions often have a high proportion of asymptomatic patients and prolonged treatment durations. Estrogen, a crucial steroid hormone, plays a central role in most diseases o…

UNLABELLED: Obesity has become a global public problem. Guizhi Fuling Decoction (GZFLD) is a traditional Chinese medicine decoction. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects of GZFLD on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity in m…

BACKGROUND: The etiology of interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/BPS) remains elusive, presenting significant challenges in both diagnosis and treatment. To address these challenges, we employed a comprehensive approach aimed …

CXC chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8) has emerged as a critical mediator in tumorigenesis. This study aims to elucidate the role of CXCL8 in the initiation and progression of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Comprehensive bioinformatic analyses …

This study attempted to evaluate the incidence of incidentalomas based on computed tomography (CT) in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. CRC patients who obtained plan or enhanced CT for the whole abdominal and pelvis were included at the Fi…

Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare subtype of benign smooth muscle tumor that can exhibit malignant-like biological behavior. Originating in the uterus, IVL grows in mass-like formations within small veins and can extend into the in…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a persistent inflammatory condition whose three main symptoms, mass, pain, and infertility, severely affect female patients of childbearing age. Hu-Po-San (HPS), a preparation consisting of various herbal …

Abnormal post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a crucial role in tumor initiation and progression. However, the mechanisms by which lncRNAs, as emerging epigenetic regulators, mediate PTMs remain largely unexplored. This review provi…

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is one of the most common diseases contributing to declining fertility globally. Autoimmune dysregulation has been implicated in POI, but the role of B cell and its subsets in immune dysregulation in PO…

OBJECTIVE: This study explores the metabolic profiles in the peripheral blood of infertile patients with adenomyosis (ADM) to identify key metabolites affecting pregnancy outcomes in these patients undergoing frozen embryo transfer (FET). O…

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disease that is one of the most common causes of gynecological systemic lesions in women before menopause. The most representative histological feature of EM is that the endometrium appears outsi…

Organoids are three-dimensional tissue analogues grown in vitro. Although they are not human organs in the strict sense, they can mimic the structure and function of tissues in vivo to the maximum extent, and have broad application prospect…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common female endocrine disorder marked by disrupted folliculogenesis and hyperandrogenism, is increasingly linked to oxidative stress. Despite this association, the mechanistic basis remains poorly chara…

Dual-omics, by integrating molecular information from two distinct dimensions, can offer more comprehensive perspective for complex disease. Herein, we developed an efficient functionalized mesoporous nanoparticle-coupled laser desorption/i…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between the level of endogenous sex hormones in the luteal phase and the pain threshold of healthy subjects, and to find the influencing factors of the change in female pain threshold. METHODS: Sixty-…

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Environmental pollutants, particularly organochlorine insecticides like endosulfan (ENDO), are increasingly linked to liver toxicity and related diseases. Despite its widespread historical use, the mechanisms underlying…
