AIMS: This study aims to develop and validate a Multi-Dimensional Computational Screening (MDCS) strategy to identify bioactive components by jointly considering target affinity, exposure potential, and safety, using Liangdi decoction (LDD)…

Endometrial carcinoma, a prevailing malignancy of the female reproductive system, exhibits escalating incidence and a trend towards early onset. Hormone therapy serves as a primary choice for fertility preservation and is also considered fo…

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the relationship between lesion stiffness and symptoms of patients and to evaluate the effectiveness of high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation (HIFUa) against lesion stiffness and symptoms of patients with ade…

BackgroundPericentric inversion of chromosome 9 [inv (9)] is a common chromosomal polymorphism found in approximately 1-2% of the population. While inv(9) has been generally considered a benign variant, its potential effects on reproductive…

Leuprolide and Goserelin, both gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, are commonly used for ovarian function suppression and the management of hormone-dependent cancers. However, systematic comparisons of their adverse event (AE) p…

BackgroundPremature ovarian insufficiency (POI) significantly impairs female fertility and poses substantial health risks; however, its pathogenesis is incompletely understood, and effective therapeutic interventions are limited. Although g…

BackgroundThe copper intrauterine device (Cu-IUD) is a widely used long-term contraceptive method. However, whether prior Cu-IUD use, including long-term exposure, affects reproductive and neonatal outcomes after assisted reproductive techn…

BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance (IR) is a key metabolic disturbance that adversely affects assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes. In women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), IR has been well documented to impair oocyte quality,…

PurposeTo investigate the effect of intraoperative low-dose esketamine administered at anesthesia induction on postoperative quality of recovery in total laparoscopic hysterectomy.Patients and methodsOne-hundred six female patients schedule…

Ferredoxins (FDXs) are evolutionarily conserved iron-sulfur (Fe-S) proteins that serve as master regulators of mitochondrial redox homeostasis, governing critical processes including electron transfer, energy metabolism, Fe-S cluster biogen…

Ovarian cancer accounts for more deaths than any other female reproductive tract cancer. The major reasons for the high mortality rates include delayed diagnoses and drug resistance. Hence, improved diagnostic and therapeutic options for ov…

Emerging evidence recognizes aberrant glycosylation as the malignant characteristics of cancer cells, but little is known about glycogenes' roles in endometrial carcinoma (EC), especially the most aggressive subtype carrying TP53 mutations.…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 doses of vilaprisan vs. placebo in participants with symptomatic endometriosis. DESIGN: Multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group phase 2b trial (NCT035733…

Background: Family members of Apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme catalytic 3 (APOBEC3) play critical roles in cancer evolution and development. However, the role of APOBEC3A in cervical cancer remains to be clarified. Methods: We used bio…

Study questionIs early rescue ICSI (E-RICSI) an effective and safe technique compared to conventional ICSI?Summary answerDespite the higher multi-pronucleus (PN) rate compared to conventional ICSI, E-RICSI did not add extra risks to clinica…

BackgroundDachaihu Decoction (DCD) is a traditional herbal formula widely used for treating acute pancreatitis (AP) in China. However, the efficacy and safety of DCD has never been validated, limiting its application. This study will assess…

Secretory pathway kinase or kinase-like proteins (SPKKPs) are effective in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus (GA), and extracellular space. These proteins are involved in secretory signaling pathways and are disti…

Millions of women worldwide suffer from infertility associated with gynecologic disorders such as premature ovarian insufficiency, polycystic ovary syndrome, Asherman syndrome, endometriosis, preeclampsia, and fallopian tube obstruction. Th…

Although gene mutations and aberrant chromosomes are associated with the pathogenesis and prognosis of uveal melanoma (UM), potential therapeutic targets still need to be explored. We aim to determine the predictive value and potential ther…

We investigated the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in the female partner of infertile couples and the reproductive outcomes after in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET). We …

BackgroundOvarian cancer (OC) is one of the most lethal gynecologic malignancies and a leading cause of death in the world. Thus, this necessitates identification of prognostic biomarkers which will be helpful in its treatment.MethodsThe ge…

Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is the most common biliary tract malignancy with the lowest survival rate, primarily arising from chronic inflammation. To better characterize the progression from inflammation to cancer to metastasis, we perform…

Endometrial cancers are complex ecosystems composed of cells with distinct phenotypes, genotypes, and epigenetic states. Current models do not adequately reflect oncogenic origin and pathological progression in patients. Here we use single-…

Sepsis-induced inflammatory lung injury is a key factor causing failure of the lungs and other organs, as well as death, during sepsis. In the present study, a caecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis model was established to inves…
