Abstract Background Adenomyosis involves the infiltration of endometrial glands and stroma deep into the uterine tissue, causing disruption to the interface between the endometrium and myometrium. The role of interleukin-17 (IL-17), a cytok…
Reproductive disorders in donkeys present a significant challenge to their health and welfare, impacting their roles in agriculture, conservation, and companionship. With the development of large-scale donkey farming in recent years, reprod…
OBJECTIVE: To identify the risk factors for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders in women without prior cesarean section (CS). METHODS: This retrospective case-control study investigated patients without prior CS who gave birth at Pek…
There is limited research on risk factors for chronic endometritis regarding reproductive history and clinical symptoms. Thus, this nested case-control study identified risk factors for chronic endometritis in women who have undergone hyste…
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of ectopic pregnancy after assisted reproduction is notably high, posing a significant threat to the life safety of pregnant women. Discrepancies in published results and the lack of a comprehensive description of…
A successful embryo implantation relies heavily on the receptivity of the endometrial epithelium, a process regulated by various molecular mechanisms. Evaluating endometrial receptivity in infertility patients undergoing assisted reproducti…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer (OC) represents a common neoplasm within the female reproductive tract. The prognosis for patients diagnosed at advanced stages is unfavorable, primarily attributable to the absence of reliable screening markers f…
Helicobacter pylori is a prevalent bacterial pathogen globally, implicated in various gastrointestinal disorders. Current recommended antibiotic therapies for H. pylori infection have been proven to be therapeutically insufficient, with low…
Endometrial cancer (EC) is a highly heterogeneous malignancy characterized by varied pathology and prognoses, and the heterogeneity of its cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME) remains poorly understood. We conducted single-cell…
BACKGROUND: Sleep disturbances are more prevalent among women with infertility. Current research increasingly highlights the significant relationship between sleep disturbances and female infertility, suggesting that sleep may be a key fact…
BACKGROUND: This study investigates the differences in the cost, time, pre-operative education and patient satisfaction levels of patients requiring a second hysteroscopic surgery using a full-service model of remote preoperative assessment…
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that dyslipidemia is significantly associated with primary frozen shoulder and may be a risk factor for the development of primary frozen shoulder. However, these findings may be biased by a number of…
BACKGROUND: Currently, awareness about platelet count (PC) and its consequences for perinatal outcome have increased, but there is little reliable evidence on fecundability. METHODS: Based on the National Free Pre-conception Check-up Proje…
BACKGROUND: Evidence from observational studies and clinical trials has associated gut microbiota with infectious diseases. However, the causal relationship between gut microbiota and infectious diseases remains unclear. METHODS: We identi…
BACKGROUND: The global prevalence of infertility is 9%, with male factors potentially accounting for 40% to 60% of cases. Conventional treatments can be ineffective, invasive, costly, and linked to adverse effects and high risks. Previous s…
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Ding-kun-dan (DKD), as one of well-known traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is considered as an effective prescription to regulate menstruation, benefit Qi and nourish the blood. Previous studies had showed …
Abstract Background The human body harbors greater than 10 trillion symbiotic, microbial cells that contribute to our bodily functions. Emerging evidences suggest that dysbiosis, especially of the gut or urogenital system, may induce vari…
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to verify the clinical predictive performance of methylated cysteine dioxygenase type 1 (CDO1m) and CUGBP Elav-like family member 4 (CELF4m) in endometrial cancer (EC) women with postmenopausal ble…
OBJECTIVES: Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is a crucial inflammatory factor that functions as an alarm signal in endometriosis (EMs). Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process related to inflammatory signals, intracellular reactive oxygen …
PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare the effects of the phytoestrogens resveratrol (RES) and genistein (GEN) on the contractility of isolated uterine smooth muscle from rats, focusing on both spontaneous and stimulated contractions, and to …
INTRODUCTION: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a condition characterized by ovarian dysfunction occurring before the age of 40, and its etiology is multifactorial, including genetic, immunological, infectious, environmental, and iat…
Available evidence demonstrates that individuals with body-image disturbance (BID) are prone to suffer from depression. This systematic review provides, to our knowledge, the first synthesis of the psychological mechanism of the association…
OBJECTIVE: Observational studies suggest a link between blood lipid levels and endometriosis risk, but clinical evidence is limited and causality has not been established. This study aims to clarify this relationship using NHANES data (1999…
The most common epigenetic modification of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) is N6-methyladenosine (m6A), which is mainly located near the 3' untranslated region of mRNAs, near the stop codons, and within internal exons. The biological effect of m6A i…
The inflammatory response is a natural immune response that prevents microbial invasion and repairs damaged tissues. However, excessive inflammatory responses can lead to various inflammation-related diseases, posing a significant threat to…
