OBJECTIVES: Acute pancreatitis, recurrent acute pancreatitis, and chronic pancreatitis are recognized as a continuum of pancreatic diseases. Recurrence increases the risk of progression to chronic pancreatitis. The aim of this study was to …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, causing chronic pain and infertility. Hypoxia plays a significant role in the progression of …

AIM: Adenomyosis and endometriosis are gynecological conditions with overlapping symptoms but distinct pathologies. Both affect the women's reproductive system, but their interrelation and shared clinical pathways are underexplored. This st…

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a subtype of ovarian cancer with a poor prognosis that often shows resistance to chemotherapy. This study retrospectively analyzed 247 patients with OCCC who were admitted to the Cancer Hospital of the…

This network meta-analysis aims to identify the best possible combination therapy for individuals suffering from adenomyosis. To identify pertinent research for the network meta-analysis, a comprehensive search was conducted across multiple…

INTRODUCTION: To investigate the effect of high-dose estrogen and progesterone sequential assisted hysteroscopic cold knife separation surgery on the recovery of uterine cavity morphology in patients with severe intrauterine adhesions (IUA)…

BACKGROUND: Assisted reproductive technology (ART) effectively treats infertility yet often results in multiple pregnancies. Optimizing clinical pregnancy rates while minimizing multiples remains challenging. Key considerations for ART prov…

OBJECTIVE: Utilizing the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 dataset, this study analyzed temporal trends (1990-2021) and age-period-cohort patterns of endometriosis-related infertility burden in China versus globally. By employing joinpoin…

The expression and function of the receptor are controlled by epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and noncoding RNAs. These modifications play a pivotal role in receptor activity and can lead to or exacerbate …

Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) poses significant challenges in reproductive health, with emerging evidence implicating DNA damage repair pathways. While GADD45A is a critical regulator of DNA repair, cell cycle and apoptosis, its role in …

Defective endometrial receptivity represents an important factor in recurrent implantation failure (RIF), though its precise regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. While nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) is abundantly expressed in huma…

Despite being the most widely prescribed formulation, oral formulations possess several limitations such as low adherence, low bioavailability, high toxicity (in the case of anticancer drugs), and multiple-time administration requirements. …

BACKGROUND: Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutathione (GSH) play a significant role in the functioning of a healthy brain and can both be quantified using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Several small-scale studies have suggeste…

Background & aimsIntestinal barrier dysfunction plays an important role in the development of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). The aim of our study was to investigate the role of single immunoglobulin IL-1 receptor-related molecule (SIGIRR)…

In this study, we explored the genomic underpinnings of synchronous endometrial and ovarian/fallopian tube carcinoma (SEOC) and synchronous cervical and ovarian/fallopian tube carcinoma (SCOC), focusing on their clonal relationships to disc…

Estrogen is a critical regulator of endometrial health. Aberrant estrogen stimulation can result in infertility, endometrial cancer, and endometriosis. Here, we identified Zinc Finger MIZ-Type Containing 1 (Zmiz1) as a coregulator of uterin…

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is known to play a crucial role in the development of endometriosis (EMs). However, the exact mechanisms involved in EMT regulation in EMs are not well understood. In this study, we performed comprehe…

Ovarian endometrioma (OE), also known as "chocolate cysts," is a cystic mass that develops in the ovaries due to endometriosis and is a common gynecological condition characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, lea…

Hemorrhagic pleural effusion (PE) is common in clinical practice. According to the guidelines, the etiological diagnosis of PE should focus on the identification of common diseases. In most cases, the etiology of PE can be determined by cli…

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can exacerbate liver disease progression through multiple mechanisms, eventually leading to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HBV-encoded oncogene X protein (HBx), a key regulatory protein of HBV …

Lymphatic vessels, comprising the secondary circulatory system in human body, play a multifaceted role in maintaining homeostasis among various tissues and organs. They are tasked with a serious of responsibilities, including the regulation…

As a chronic gynecological disease, endometriosis is defined as the implantation of endometrial glands as well as stroma outside the uterine cavity. Proliferation is a major pathophysiology in endometriosis. Previous studies demonstrated a …

AIM: This study systematically evaluated the potential efficacy of serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) concentration as a diagnostic marker for endometriosis through meta-analysis. Early and accurate diagnosis of endometriosis, a commo…

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a lethal inflammatory disease of the pancreas. Its pathogenesis remains obscure and specific treatments are lacking. An increase in Interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the early stage of AP patients is closely related to AP…
