Previous epidemiological studies have suggested that green tea catechins, including Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the most abundant polyphenol in green tea, may be associated with reduced serum folate levels. This is of particular inte…
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies and is a highly heterogeneous disease; it is also a leading cause of cancer-related death. Owing to the complexity and late-stage diagnosis of GC, the prognosis remains poor. To exp…
BACKGROUND: Microplastics (MPs) are pervasive environmental pollutants that pose significant health risks. While their prevalence in ecosystems is well-established, their accumulation in the human body and potential role in tumorigenesis de…
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…
Ovarian cancer remains a formidable global health burden, characterized by frequent late-stage diagnosis and elevated mortality rates attributable to its elusive pathogenesis and the critical lack of reliable early-detection biomarkers. Eme…
Endometriosis (EM) is a non-cancerous disease that exhibits certain tumor-like properties. While hormonal therapies and surgical excision are standard treatments with proven efficacy in alleviating EM symptoms, they are often accompanied by…
Background: Endometriosis results in dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain and infertility in reproductive-age women. However, no effective treatment methods have been applied to the disease, and the pathogenesis of endometriosis i…
ObjectiveTo develop a predictive tool in the form of a Nomogram based on the Cox regression model, which incorporates the impact of the length of treatment cycles on the outcome of live birth, to evaluate the probability of infertile couple…
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 …
Ferroptosis, a recently discovered form of programmed cell death triggered by the excessive accumulation of iron-dependent lipid peroxidation products, plays a critical role in the development of various diseases. However, whether it is inv…
PURPOSE: To test the expression profile of transient receptor potential channels (TRPs) in adenomyosis patients and evaluate the effects of primidone on tamoxifen-induced adenomyosis mice. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study included in vivo …

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disease characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial-like tissue. Despite extensive research, its molecular pathogenesis remains unclear. In this study, we conducted an integrated …
PURPOSE: Endometriosis is a common chronic neuroinflammatory disease with a poorly understood pathogenesis. Molecular changes and specific immune cell infiltration in the eutopic endometrium are critical to disease progression. This study a…

BackgroundIntra-abdominal hemorrhage (IAH) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of ultrasound-guided transvanginal oocyte pick up (OPU). Despite the widespread use of OPU in assisted reproductive technology, minor hemorrh…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is frequently associated with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) and anemia. In the setting of arterial stenosis or hypercoagulability, AUB may precipitate ischemic stroke. However, the optimal management strategy remai…
ObjectivesLOXL2, known as Lysyl oxidase-like 2, is classified as a lysyl oxidase (LOX) family member. However, its role and mechanism in endometrial cancer (EC) are unknown. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the potential role and mechanis…
Oocyte aging is closely related to a decline in female fertility, accompanied by increased reactive oxygen species levels and changes in protein posttranslational modifications. However, the role of protein palmitoylation in oocyte aging ha…
BackgroundPrevious studies have shown a correlation between ABO blood type and the occurrence of certain diseases. However, there is limited research on the potential association between ABO blood group and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).…
Mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, orchestrate a plethora of critical functions, including energy production, metabolic regulation, programmed cell death, and signal transduction. Their pivotal role in the pathogenesis of numerous di…
Diabetes-associated infertility results from interconnected immunometabolic, oxidative, inflammatory, and endocrine disturbances that impair reproductive function in both sexes. Conventional therapies address individual symptoms but often f…
Multi-omics strategies, integrating genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, have revolutionized biomarker discovery and enabled novel applications in personalized oncology. Despite rapid technological developments, a compre…
RationaleMyocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) has diverse ischemic etiologies and has been defined by the absence of angiographically significant obstructive coronary artery disease. Blood transfusion has sel…
Although per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure has been linked to endometriosis, this association remains controversial, and the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to investigate this relationship and explore …
