AIMS: The present study aimed to examine the roles of circRNA-circSMAD2 and its regulatory mechanisms in endometriosis (EMs). BACKGROUND: Evidence has confirmed that circRNAs play multiple roles in regulating the occurrence and development…

Fibrosis, marked by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation, underlies functional decline in numerous diseases and often presents with sex-specific differences in severity. Although biochemical pathways have been widely studied, t…

Euodiae Fructus (EF) is the dried and nearly ripe fruit of Euodia rutaecarpa, first recorded in Shen Nong's Herbal Classic. EF is a versatile Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) known for the effects of dispelling colds and alleviating pain,…

ObjectiveTo compare the outcomes of hysterectomy performed via traditional inpatient procedure versus day-care procedure with a focus on surgical time, post-operative recovery, costs, and patient satisfaction, using propensity score matchin…

Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation, is closely associated with mitochondrial damage, diminished glutathione peroxidase 4 activity, dysfunction of the System Xc- cystine/glutamate antipor…

BackgroundTo compare the clinical outcomes between frozen-thawed cleavage embryo transfer and frozen-thawed day 6 blastocyst transfer in patients younger than 35 using the freeze-all strategy without day 5 blastocyst formation.MethodsThis w…

BACKGROUND: endometriosis as a common gynecologic finding significantly affects the quality of life of many women. An accurate understanding of the epidemiological characteristics of endometriosis is essential for disease control and preven…

Female infertility represents a significant reproductive health issue that critically affects global fertility rates. In this study, we utilized the most recent data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2021. Initially, we assessed…

OBJECTIVE: To analyse global prevalence data for infertility due to endometriosis from 1990 to 2021, emphasising health inequalities. DESIGN: Population-based study. SETTING: Data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database. POPULAT…

Autoimmune diseases are driven by a breach of self-tolerance, leading to chronic inflammation and organ damage. While the Th1 and Th17 paradigms have long dominated our understanding of T-cell-mediated pathology, a distinct subset of CD4+ T…

AbstractThe effectiveness of the GnRH antagonist protocol remains controversial due to inconsistent conclusions and inadequate subgroup analyses. The aim of this study was to provide some references for clinicians when choosing the GnRH ant…

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…

Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. Central to its pathophysiology, peritoneal CD14ʰⁱ macrophages exhibit a pro-EMS phenotype and drive disease …

The dynamic interplay between hormonal signalling and immune-inflammatory homeostasis is pivotal for regulating endometrial decidualization, which is indispensable for successful embryo implantation. Hormonal imbalance-mediated inflammation…

BACKGROUND: Early diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis (EM) remain challenging because of the lack of knowledge about EM development. While oxidative stress (OS) has been associated with EM, the link is unclear. We explored OS-related g…

This study aimed to explore potential risk factors for severe endometriosis and to develop a model to predict the risk of severe endometriosis. A total of 308 patients with endometriosis were analyzed. Least absolute shrinkage and selection…

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic disease that can cause pain and infertility in patients. As is well known, immune cell infiltrations (ICIs) play important roles in the pathogenesis of EM. However, the pathogenesis and biomarkers of EM that …

BackgroundThe incidence of ulcerative colitis (UC) is rapidly increasing worldwide, but existing therapeutics are limited. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which have been associated with the development of various autoimmune diseases…

The skeletal muscle is highly susceptible to injury in daily life. Severe skeletal muscle injuries often result in incomplete regeneration, leading to functional impairment. In clinical practice, understanding the extent of skeletal muscle …

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common chronic pain condition characterized primarily by the presence of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). While the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) is known to be upregulated in injured m…

BackgroundOverweight and obesity can induce an inflammatory milieu in the oocyte microenvironment and are closely associated with reduced assisted reproductive outcomes.ObjectiveHow are immune cells, cytokines and lipid profiles altered in …

ObjectiveIVF/ICSI is associated with an increased risk of placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAS). Invasive PAS can result in significant adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. This study investigates the impact of IVF/ICSI on the severity …

Abstract Background Postoperative fever (PF) and postoperative bloodstream infections (PBSIs) are common and severe complications following gynecological surgery, yet they receive less focus than surgical site infections. This study aime…
