Single and multiple endometrial polyps (EP) are common gynecological conditions with differing recurrence rates, influencing clinical treatment decisions. This study aimed to characterize the reproductive tract microbiome in both subtypes t…
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to determine the prevalence of female infertility in 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2019. DESIGN: We evaluated the female infertility global burden between 1990 and 2019 in this systematic study. MATERIALS…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the timing of adenomyomectomy within the menstrual cycle influences outcomes in patients with adenomyosis, and to assess whether surgery performed during the secretory phase offers clinical advantages over the…
BACKGROUND: To assess the utility of the TCGA molecular classification of endometrial cancer in a well-annotated, moderately sized, consecutive cohort of Chinese patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC). METHODS: We performed DNA …
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects reproductive and cardiometabolic health, yet its pathogenesis remains unclear. Emerging evidence links hemoglobin levels to metabolic disorders, suggesting a potential role in PCOS development. Here,…
Phthalate esters (PAEs), frequently detected in various environmental media, are associated with multiple health issues, particularly reproductive toxicity. This study employed molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations to investi…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is a difficult gynecological disease to cure. Frizzled-7 (FZD7) has been shown to be associated with the development of EMS, but its specific mechanism remains unclarified. This study aims to explore the role…
Fallopian tube carcinoma has a rare incidence and dismal prognosis. Sister Mary Joseph's nodule is an intra-abdominal tumor that metastasizes to the umbilicus. To date, fewer than 10 cases of fallopian tube carcinoma with Sister Mary Joseph…
Objective: The prevalence of steatotic liver disease (SLD) is rising globally, while endometriosis is a leading cause of infertility. Although links with metabolic syndrome have been reported, its relationship with SLD remains unclear. We …
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between physical activity and the risk of premenstrual syndrome among college students. METHODS: Eligible studies were searched from the PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases.…
Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disorder characterized by the abnormal presence of endometrium-like cells, referred to as ectopic tissue, located outside the uterine cavity. Beyond the abnormal proliferation of endometrium-like tiss…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the causal effect of immune cells on endometriosis (EMS), we performed a Mendelian randomization analysis. METHODS: Mendelian randomization (MR) uses genetic variants as instrumental variables to investigate the c…
BACKGROUND: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is characterized by persistent inflammatory cascades, with macrophage activation playing a pivotal role. Chitinase 1 (CHIT1), produced by activated macrophages, is a key pl…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Chronic enteropathy associated with SLCO2A1 gene is a rare intestinal disease caused by loss-of-function SLCO2A1 mutations, with clinical and genetic characteristics remaining largely unknown, especially in Chinese pati…
BACKGROUND: Poor oocyte quality remains one of the major challenges for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Granulosa cells (GCs) in PCOS display altered functions and could cause an unfa…
Abstract Introduction: This study aimed to analyze the worldwide, regional, and intra-country burden of heteropathy and its trends from 1990 to 2019, utilizing the latest data and improved methodologies from GBD 2019. Methods: We utilized …
INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to analyze the worldwide, regional burden of endometriosis and its trends from 1990 to 2019, utilizing the latest data from Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019. GBD 2019 is a global database tool for comprehen…
Epidemiological studies and animal models have suggested a possible link between gut microbiota (GM), circulating metabolites, and endometriosis (EMs) pathogenesis. However, whether these associations are causal or merely due to confounding…
Background: Growing evidence suggests that endometriosis (EMs) is a risk factor for endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC). The aim was to identify and validate gene signatures associated with EMs that may serve as potential biomark…
Abstract Background: Endometriosis is a common disease among women of childbearing age. However, the molecular mechanism behind it is still unknown. Therefore, new biomarkers and therapeutic targets are needed to improve the diagnosis and …
BACKGROUND: Females with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) have significantly lower cumulative live birth rates (CLBRs) than females with normal ovarian reserve. A subset of young infertile patients, whose ovarian reserve is declining but ha…
Ulcerative colitis (UC), a chronic and nonspecific inflammatory disease of the intestine, has become a prevalent global health concern. This guideline aims to equip clinicians and caregivers with effective strategies for the treatment and m…
This study aimed to develop a model based on radiomics and deep learning features to predict the ablation rate in patients with adenomyosis undergoing high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy. A total of 119 patients with adenomyosi…
INTRODUCTION: Gingivitis is a prevalent complication in adolescents undergoing fixed orthodontic treatments. However, changes in the supragingival microbiome associated with gingivitis and the impact of Candida albicans remain elusive. Ther…
BACKGROUND: Observational studies and animal experiments had suggested a potential relationship between gut microbiota abundance and pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMs), but the relevance of this relationship remains to be clarified. METHO…
