BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been extensively studied as a common female endocrine disease. In recent years, the relationship between circadian rhythm and PCOS has gradually drawn attention, although the precise nature o…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is a highly lethal gynecological malignancy, with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) being its most common form. Surgery combined with chemotherapy is the standard treatment. Resection completeness significantly impa…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer (OV) is the deadliest gynecologic malignancy owing to its late diagnosis and high metastatic propensity. Current biomarkers lack sufficient sensitivity and specificity for the detection of early-stage cancer. To a…
INTRODUCTION: Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is characterized by pain during the menstrual cycle, affects women's health. Our group developed a traditional Chinese medicine plaster (Wentong plaster, WTT) for the treatment of PD. However, the und…
Infertility poses considerable challenges to both the endocrine system and psychological well-being of affected women. In particular, those undergoing Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) confront not only physiological demands but also s…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a persistent inflammatory condition whose three main symptoms, mass, pain, and infertility, severely affect female patients of childbearing age. Hu-Po-San (HPS), a preparation consisting of various herbal …
Follicular atresia is a critical physiological process that ensures the selection of high-quality oocytes by eliminating non-viable follicles. In women, 99.9% of follicles undergo atresia naturally, the premature or dysregulated atresia fol…
Mercury, a prevalent heavy metal, negatively impacts oocyte maturation. However, the exact mechanism by which methylmercury chloride (MMC) affects this process remains elusive. The present study found that MMC administration triggered meiot…
OBJECTIVE: To screen for possible pathogenic mutations in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients with diabetes and preliminarily explore the relationship between genotype and phenotype to offer a research basis for PCOS pathogenesis with…
Drug discovery plays a crucial role in medicinal chemistry, serving as the cornerstone for developing new treatments to address a wide range of diseases. This review emphasizes the significance of advanced strategies, such as Click Chemistr…
BACKGROUND: To compare in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) pregnancy outcomes following endometrial polypectomy using either a manual mechanical hysteroscopic tissue resection device (mHTR) or traditional mechanical resectio…
OBJECTIVE: Many epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) risk factors relate to sex hormones. The association between these factors and the expression of androgen receptor (AR), estrogen receptor-α (ER), and progesterone receptor (PR) in tumors is u…
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is one of the most common diseases contributing to declining fertility globally. Autoimmune dysregulation has been implicated in POI, but the role of B cell and its subsets in immune dysregulation in PO…
The Ping-Chong-Jiang-Ni Formula (PCJNF), a compound of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has demonstrated remarkable clinical effectiveness and is widely utilized in the treatment of endometriosis (EMs). Previous studies have shown that P…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to establish a risk prediction model of endometriosis in infertile women and verify the model. METHODS: A retrospective study was made of 140 infertile women hospitalized at Henan Provincial People's Hospital betw…
PURPOSE: To investigate the applicability and safety of the blastocyst grading system for borderline blastocysts assessed by measurement of the inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) parameters. METHODS: A total of 361 borderline bla…
INTRODUCTION: Emerging evidence indicates that dysregulated palmitic acid (PA) homeostasis plays a key role in inducing lipotoxicity and cellular dysfunction in mammalian endometrial epithelial cells. While this phenomenon has been document…
Endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a biological process in which endothelial cells lose intercellular junctions and endothelial characteristics under specific pathophysiological stimuli and acquire mesenchymal traits. It plays a …
BACKGROUND Ventricular interdependence - mediated by shared pericardial and septal mechanics - can precipitate biventricular dysfunction during acute right ventricular (RV) volume overload. RV dilation impairs left ventricular (LV) complian…
UNLABELLED: Subunits of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex are altered in ∼20% of human cancers. Exemplifying the alterations is the ARID1A mutation that occurs in ∼50% of ovarian clear-cell carcinoma (OCCC), a disease with limited th…
Endometriosis involves ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, yet the spatial transcriptomic and metabolic landscape of ovarian endometriomas remains poorly understood. This investigation presents a comprehensive multi-omics analysis of…
OBJECTIVE: Advanced gastric cancer remains highly refractory to therapy, with limited immunotherapy efficacy due to tumor microenvironment heterogeneity. Primary cilia, microtubule-based organelles involved in tumor progression, remain insu…
BACKGROUND: The comorbidity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease, with cervical cancer has garnered a lot of attention. Cervical cancer is much more common in RA patients than in the general population, which may be ca…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a multifactorial endocrine disorder characterized by chronic anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian morphology, leading to infertility. Elevated basal luteinizing hormone (bLH) levels in PC…
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether blastocysts that do not re-expand 2–4 h after thawing were of value for utilization and to analyze the relevant factors affecting clinical pregnancy in completely shrunken blastocyst transfer (C…
