BackgroundOvarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC), well known for its chemoresistance to platinum-based chemotherapy, exhibited a good response in clinical trials of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. By assessing PD-L1 expression, we sought to determ…
BackgroundPrevious research has demonstrated that exposure to individual heavy metals elevates the incidence rate of congenital heart defects (CHDs). However, there is a paucity of data concerning the relationship between combined exposure …
BACKGROUND: Clear cell carcinoma of the ovary (CCCO) is a relatively rare type of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) that has unique biological characteristics and clinical features. Researchers have paid less attention to this disease than to…
Background/objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between urate level and female infertility using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.MethodsTo identify instrumental variables, we selected independent genetic lo…
The therapeutic efficacy of drugs is determined, to a certain extent, by the efficiency of drug delivery. The low efficiency of drug delivery systems (DDSs) is frequently associated with serious toxic side effects and can even prove fatal i…
Vitamin D3 plays a crucial role in female reproduction. As research progresses, the mechanisms of action of vitamin D3 on follicular development have been widely discussed. Firstly, key enzymes involved in the synthesis and metabolism of vi…
Autophagy has emerged as an important process of cell metabolism. With continuous in-depth research on autophagy, TFEB has been a key transcription factor regulating autophagy levels in recent years. Studies have established that TFEB regul…
Vaginal microbiota transplantation (VMT) is a cutting-edge treatment modality that has the potential to revolutionize the management of vaginal disorders. The human vagina is a complex and dynamic ecosystem home to a diverse community of mi…
Asthma is a common disease that seriously threatens public health. With significant developments in bronchoscopy, different interventional pulmonology techniques for refractory asthma treatment have been developed. These technologies achiev…
Erythromelalgia is a descriptive term for severe burning pain and erythema in the distal extremities relieved by cold and exacerbated by heat. Pediatric case series to date are relatively small. We extracted and analyzed medical record data…
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of barbed suture (BS) and conventional suture (CS) on perioperative conditions and ovarian function in the excision of ovarian mature cystic teratoma (MCT) by laparo-endoscopic single-site surgery (LESS). …
Abstract Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of dienogest((DNG) monotherapy and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) combined with DNG sequential treatment for adenomyosis. Methods This is a retrospective study.15…
Evaluation of tubal patency is one of the vital steps in the process of female infertility management. Hysterosalpingo-contrast Sonography (HyCoSy) has become the first-line recommendation for evaluating tubal patency. However, there remain…
RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the effect of tubal endometriosis on tubal epithelial ultrastructure and is there a differential expression of exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) in tubal fluid which may affect tubal infertility? DESIGN: Human fallopia…
Intrauterine adhesions (IUA), which is characterized by endometrial fibrosis, continue to be the most common cause of uterine infertility globally. Our work revealed that 3 fibrotic progression markers (Vimentin, COL5A2, and COL1A1) were si…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a worldwide gynacological diseases, affecting in 6-10% of women of reproductive age. The aim of this study was to investigate the gene network and potential signatures of immune infiltration in endometriosis. …
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis-related infertility is a common worldwide reproductive health concern. Despite ongoing research, the causes of infertility remain unclear. Evidence suggests that epigenetic regulation is crucial in reproduction. Ho…
BackgroundSuccessful embryo implantation requires the attachment of a blastocyst to the receptive endometrial epithelium, which was disturbed in the women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). Endometrial β3-integrin was the most impor…
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved cellular degradation and recycling process. It is important for maintaining vital cellular function and metabolism. Abnormal autophagy activity can cause the development of various diseases. N6-methy…

ContextHyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor (HPT-JT) syndrome is a heritable form of primary hyperparathyroidism caused by germline inactivating mutations in CDC73 encoding parafibromin and is associated with an increased risk of parathyroid cance…
AimsRecent studies have revealed a close connection between cellular metabolism and the chronic inflammatory process of atherosclerosis. While the link between systemic metabolism and atherosclerosis is well established, the implications of…
Endometriosis is a common condition in women that causes chronic pain and infertility and is associated with an elevated risk of ovarian cancer. We profiled transcriptomes of >370,000 individual cells from endometriomas (n = 8), endometrios…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the roles of the cGAS-STING signal pathway and autophagy in the disease progression of endometriosis and to explore the regulatory mechanism of the cGAS-STING signal pathway on autophagy. DESIGN: A case-control ex…
