Previous studies found that melatonin modulates a combination of green-and-blue-light-induced B-lymphocyte proliferation via its membrane receptors Mel1a and Mel1c. However, in addition to its membrane-bound receptors, melatonin also functi…
In order to investigate the metabolic characteristics of human follicular fluid (FF) and to reveal potential metabolic predictors of follicular development (FD) with clinical implications, we analyzed a total of 452 samples based on a two-s…
Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is a prevalent problem in gynecologic clinics among adolescents and women of reproductive age. Several therapy modalities, including traditional Chinese medicine, are deemed adequate (TCM) and have been in practice…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Could METTL3 and METTL14-mediated N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification play possible cooperative roles in pathogenesis and progression of endometriosis? DESIGN: An investigation into m6A methylation profiles and the rol…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder among women. Moderate aerobic exercise intervention is considered an initial treatment strategy for managing PCOS. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an important mole…
The etiology of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is complicated and effective clinical preventive measures are lacking. Identifying biomarkers for RPL has been challenging, and to date, little is known about the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6…
CONTEXT: N -acetyl-cysteine (NAC) is a potent antioxidant that can be used for many gynecological diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis. Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) is a critical step in infertility trea…
PURPOSE: To identify the optimal method for endometrial preparation in vitrified single-blastocyst transfer (VSBT) cycles. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study for non-PCOS patients who underwent VSBT cycles from March 2015 to No…
BACKGROUND: NeiyiKangfu tablets (NYKF) are widely used clinically for the treatment of endometriosis (EMS), whose mechanism of action has been extensively studied. Researchers have found that NYKF may control the development of ectopic lesi…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) combined with a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) or aromatase inhibitor (letrozole) in women with endometrial carcinoma o…
BACKGROUND: Postmenopausal bleeding and an endometrial thickness ≥ 5 mm on sonograms of menopausal women can indicate the presence of endometrial lesions. Diagnostic hysteroscopy is a powerful method for endometrial diseases. AIM: To inves…
Macrophages residing in various tissues play crucial roles in innate immunity, tissue repair, and immune homeostasis. The development and differentiation of macrophages in non-lymphoid tissues are highly regulated by the tissue microenviron…
BACKGROUND: While the majority of COVID-19 patients fully recover from the infection and become asymptomatic, a significant proportion of COVID-19 survivors experience a broad spectrum of symptoms lasting weeks to months post-infection, a p…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value of endometrial cancer (EC) primary lesion and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) three-dimensional (3D) radiomics features combined with clinical parameters for…
BACKGROUND: Due to various iatrogenic and social factors, the global caesarean delivery (CD) rate has risen sharply in the past 30 years. It is more complicated and dangerous for women with a scarred uterus to experience pregnancy again tha…
Although high-grade serous cancer (HGSC) accounts for >70% of ovarian epithelial cancers, it is rarely associated with endometriosis. No previous study has reported an association between the malignant transformation of uterine ligament end…
Programmed cell deaths are pathways involving cells playing an active role in their own destruction. Depending on the signaling system of the process, programmed cell death can be divided into two categories, pro-inflammatory and non-inflam…
Central nervous system (CNS) disorders, such as ischemic stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, glioma, and epilepsy, involve oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis, often leading to long-term disability or d…
OBJECTIVE: The present study identified novel renal tubular biomarkers that may influence the diagnosis and treatment of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) based on immune infiltration. METHODS: Three FSGS microarray datasets, GSE10…
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to summarize and analyze clinical characteristics and reproductive outcomes in postoperative deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included 55 reproductive-aged patient…
BACKGROUND: T-shaped uterus is a Müllerian malformation with unapparent clinical manifestations. Intrauterine adhesion and tuberculosis may lead to T-shaped uterus, too. Hysteroscopic metroplasty is a treatment option for T-shaped uterus, w…
OBJECTIVES: Previous research has shown a possible relationship between endometriosis and autoimmune diseases. However, the relationship between endometriosis and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is lacking. Therefore, we intended to find possib…
The application of engineering tools and techniques to studying women's health, including biomaterials-based approaches, is a research field experiencing robust growth. Biomaterials are natural or synthetic materials used to repair or repla…
BACKGROUND: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is used as a biomarker to estimate ovarian reserve. The relationship between AMH and early miscarriage of in vitro fertilization (IVF) is still inconclusive. This study aimed to explore whether serum…
BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer is a gynecological malignancy common in middle-aged and older patients, with a high mortality rate. Spondin-2 is an extracellular matrix protein that involved in innate and acquired immune responses. Herein, we i…
