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 treatment …
PURPOSE: Endometriosis (EM) and recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) exhibit clinical associations, yet their shared molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to identify shared molecular mechanisms and potential hub genes under…
AIMS: Mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) of the endometrium or ovary is a rare but distinct endometrial carcinoma which has a combination of characteristic morphological, immunohistochemical (IHC) and molecular features. SOX17 has been r…
BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) represents the terminal stage of various cardiovascular disorders, with immunogenic cell death (ICD) potentially influencing HF progression through modulation of immune cell activity. This study aimed to ident…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) often causes significant postoperative pain. While low-pressure pneumoperitoneum (8 mmHg) may reduce pain, optimal patient selection remains unclear. This trial compared pain outcomes b…
BACKGROUND: Different histologic subtypes of ovarian cancer have distinct risk factors, clinical features, and prognosis. This analysis intends to examine the regional differences in the incidence rates of different histologic subtypes of o…
Influenza A virus (IAV) is linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes like spontaneous abortion, preterm birth, and neonatal death. Inhibition of trophoblast cell fusion by IAV infection is a key factor contributing to these adverse pregnancy out…
BACKGROUND: To distinguish and co-detect aneuploid CD31- tumor cells (TCs) and CD31+ tumor endothelial cells (TECs) may have significant diagnostic values for cervical cancer screening. However, there are very few relevant studies. In the p…
BACKGROUND: Insomnia is increasingly emerging as a significant concern in public health, with a longstanding emphasis on its relationship with overall well-being. Nevertheless, few research has been devoted to investigating the relationship…
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Pingchong Jiangni recipe (PJR) is a Chinese herbal formula that has been used clinically for decades in the treatment of endometriosis, with effects such as shrinking the lesions and reducing the recurrence r…
Pingchong Jiangni recipe (PJR) is a Chinese herbal formula that has been used clinically for decades in the treatment of endometriosis, with effects such as shrinking the lesions and reducing the recurrence rate. However, the mechanisms und…
AIM: This study aimed to compare clinical characteristics and evaluate diagnostic biomarkers in ovarian endometriosis, with a focus on thyroid autoimmunity associations. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 885 patients (441 ovarian endome…
The article reports a case of fetal imperforate hymen diagnosed by prenatal MRI and confirmed by postnatal surgery. The pregnant woman underwent routine 37-week ultrasound examination, which revealed an enlarged fetal bladder and an abdomin…
OBJECTIVE: This prospective study aimed to investigate the short-term effects of single-port laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign conditions on postoperative pelvic floor symptoms, pelvic floor structure, and pelvic floor muscle function. …
Ginseng, a traditional herb with a history spanning thousands of years in Asian culture, has gained widespread recognition for its valuable pharmacological properties. The primary active constituents of ginseng, ginsenosides, are renowned f…
High mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is a protein released from stressed or damaged cells that triggers immune activation and chronic inflammation. The NOD-like receptor (NLR) family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) is a central component of …
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Oligomenorrhea and hypomenorrhea were common conditions in outpatient visit which affected child-bearing aged women, and the conventional progesterone treatment has been related to several side effect and contradi…
INTRODUCTION: Cisplatin resistance is a major challenge in ovarian cancer therapy, particularly for high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). DNA topoisomerase IIα (TOP2A) relates to cancer drug resistance, yet its role and molecular mechan…
Ovarian cancer represents a malignancy characterized by high incidence and mortality rates, necessitating further elucidation of its underlying mechanisms. We conducted an analysis using bulk transcriptomic data of ovarian cancer and normal…
BACKGROUND: For patients with nodules detected in imaging that are indeterminate for malignancy, achieving accurate, early, and non-invasive diagnosis of Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LUSC) remains a significant challenge. Therefore, we aim…
BACKGROUND: Embryo selection and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) are used in clinical practice with the aim of improving pregnancy outcomes in patients. However, it remains uncertain whether different PGT techniques improve the live b…
BACKGROUND: LncRNA LINC02381 has emerged as a promising tumor biomarker; however, its involvement in the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer remains unexplored at this time. The objective of this study is to elucidate the regulatory effect of…
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) affect the biological functions of granulosa cells (GCs) through multiple mechanisms, including epigenetic regulation, transcriptional regulation, post-translational modification, and cell signaling. Our previ…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop a joint model combining T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) suppressed fat radiomics, and clinical parameters to predict the energy efficiency factor (EEF) required for high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ab…
Atherosclerosis has an urgent need for new therapeutic targets. Protein kinases orchestrate multiple cellular events in atherosclerosis and may provide new therapeutic targets for atherosclerosis. Here, a protein kinase, WEE1 G2 checkpoint …
