BACKGROUND: Aspartame, a widely used artificial sweetener, has been implicated in multiple toxicities. However, its potential reproductive toxicity mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the underlying relationship betwe…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disorder for which metabolic reprogramming has emerged as a central pathological feature. Driven by genetic, epigenetic, and microenvironmental stressors, ectopic…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a heterogeneous gynecological disorder characterized by chronic pain, infertility, and substantial impairment of quality of life. Increasing evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of endom…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder among women of reproductive age worldwide. This study aims to examine global patterns of endometriosis disease burden among reproductive-aged women and to evaluate its correlation…

RationaleAppendiceal mucinous tumors with intussusception are extremely rare. As primary lesions, malignant tumors often present with atypical clinical symptoms, which increases the likelihood of misdiagnosis.Patient concernsA 79-year-old f…

Progesterone receptor (PR)-mediated progesterone (P4) signaling plays a crucial role in the establishment of uterine receptivity which is the prerequisite for successful embryo implantation in mammals. However, detailed molecular mechanisms…

This report described three cases with long-term severe dysmenorrhea, and these cases were referred to our department for medical help. The diagnosis of accessory cavitated uterine malformation (ACUM) was considered based on symptoms and ul…

To explore the differential cohort situation between preschool development of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and naturally conceived infants. From April 2014 to June 2022, 60 preschool IVFs were selected as the research subjects for follow-up…

Endometriosis is classically defined as a chronic inflammatory heterogeneous disorder occurring in any part of the body, characterized by estrogen-driven periodic bleeding, proliferation, and fibrosis of ectopic endometrial glands and strom…

The microenvironment of the endometrial immune system is crucial to the success of placental implantation and healthy pregnancy. However, the functionalities of immune cells across various stages of the reproductive cycle have yet to be ful…

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the deadliest women's cancer and has a poor prognosis. Early detection is the key for improving survival (a 5-year survival rate in stage I/II is over 70% compared to that of 25% in stage III/IV) and can b…

Endometriosis is one of the most common benign gynecological disorders in reproductive-aged women. The major symptoms are chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Despite its profound impact on women's health and quality of life, its pathogenes…

BackgroundAlthough the importance of miRNA variants in female reproductive disorders has been frequently reported, the association between miRNA polymorphisms and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) has been poorly studied. In this study, we aim…

BACKGROUND: The expression of homeobox A10 (HOXA10) in endometrial stromal cells is regulated by steroid hormones, especially by estrogen. As a precursor molecule of estrogen, abnormal cholesterol metabolism is significantly positively corr…

BackgroundUterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) is the third most common gynecologic malignancy. Fatty acid metabolism (FAM) is an essential metabolic process in the immune microenvironment that occurs reprogramming in the presence of…

Adhesion is a significant biological characteristic of endometriosis, and accurate evaluation of the pelvic adhesion is necessary for surgical treatment. Serum CA125 is yet the most common used biomarker in the diagnosis and follow-up of pa…

ObjectiveTo compare the characteristics, surgical complications, and overall survival between patients undergoing laparoscopy versus laparotomy for treatment of early-stage cervical stump carcinoma.MethodsPatients with International Federat…

Research questionWhat is the mechanism of hypermethylation of runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) in the eutopic endometrium of endometriosis as biomarker in the malignant transformation of endometriosis?DesignMethylation-specific p…

BACKGROUND: In view of the roles of long non-coding RNA CDKN2B antisense RNA 1 (CDKN2BAS1) in various human diseases, we investigated the function of CDKN2B-AS1 and explored its therapeutic and prognostic target value in multiple biological…

BACKGROUND: The management of ground-glass opacities (GGOs) depends mainly on personal experience. In clinical practice, benign GGOs are not rare in resected specimens, for which operations may be avoided. We retrospectively compared the cl…

PURPOSE: A previous study found that a lack of SPOCK2 expression was an early event that occurs during the malignant transformation of endometriosis (EMS); however, the role played by SPOCK2 in the pathogenesis of endometriosis and its mali…

BackgroundLncRNAs are key regulators in cancer. The current study explored the role of lncRNA LINC00261 (LINC00261) in lung cancer (LC).MethodsExpression of LINC00261 in LC tissues and cells was determined by quantitative real-time polymera…

The present study aims to investigate the effects and mechanisms of sarsasapogenin resistance to precocious puberty. Female Sprague Dawley rats were divided into a normal (N) group, model (M) group, leuprolide (L) group, and sarsasapogenin …
