BACKGROUND: Female reproductive disorders (FRDs) are common diseases among women of childbearing age, affecting their reproductive health. Age at first sexual intercourse (AFS) is potentially linked to FRDs, and this study aims to investiga…

BACKGROUND: The composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) reflects dietary antioxidant intake. Preliminary studies indicate that higher CDAI levels are associated with a lower prevalence of female infertility. However, the underlying mecha…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the utility of clinical and MRI features in distinguishing ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) from adnexal masses with ovarian-adnexal reporting and data system (O-RADS) MRI scores of 4-5. METHODS: This retrospective s…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by the growth of ectopic endometrial-like tissue and fibrosis. Metabolic reprogramming, particularly enhanced glycolysis, and immune microenvironment dysregulat…

OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the MRI characteristics of primary and metastatic adult granulosa cell tumor with normal estrogen levels (AGCT-NEL) to enhance clinical understanding and diagnostic accuracy of this disease. METHODS: We c…

BACKGROUND: The occurrence of postoperative depression and anxiety in patients with endometriosis (EMS) not only causes psychological distress, but may also harm their physical health. AIM: To explore the postoperative depression status, a…

Infertility is a prevalent problem among 10% of people within their reproductive years. Sometimes, even advanced treatment options like assisted reproduction technology have the potential to result in failed implantation. Because of the exp…

Endometriosis (EMT) -related infertility has been a challenge for clinical research. Many studies have confirmed that abnormal alterations in the immune microenvironment and glycolysis are instrumental in causing EMT-related infertility. Re…

OBJECTIVE: To systematically review and conduct a meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of dienogest (DNG) in the prolonged conservative drug management of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). The findings from this study are intended…

BACKGROUND: Recent evidence suggests a crucial biological role for Circular RNAs (circRNAs) in keloid diseases, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study explored the biological effects and molecular mechanisms of hsa_circ_00…

BACKGROUND: Infertility is a reproductive health problem that attracts worldwide attention. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a major cause of female infertility and patients with obesity and PCOS are particularly common in clinical pract…

Abstract Previous studies have identified associations between immune cell traits and endometriosis, but the causality of these relationships remains uncertain. 731 immune cell signatures associated Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) we…

Abstract Background Previous studies have reported an association between gut microbial dysbiosis and ovarian diseases, however, it is not clear whether a causal association exists. Methods Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis …

Chlamydia trachomatis, is a kind of obligate intracellular pathogen. The removal of C. trachomatis relies primarily on specific cellular immunity. It is currently considered that CD4+ Th1 cytokine responses are the major protective immunity…

BACKGROUND: In our previous investigation, we revealed a significant increase in the expression of microRNA-6881-3p (miR-6881-3p) in follicular fluid granulosa cells (GCs) from women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) compared to those w…
