BACKGROUND: Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare pulmonary disorder characterized by impaired surfactant clearance due to alveolar macrophage dysfunction. Leuprorelin acetate, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, is widely us…

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to examine the impact of quercetin on a mouse model of endometriosis and elucidate its underlying mechanisms. METHODS: An endometriosis model was established using C57BL/6 mice, which were divided into three …

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a rare type of tumor originating from peptidergic neurons and neuroendocrine cells, which exhibit neuroendocrine differentiation and neuroendocrine marker expression. NENs can occur in any part of the bod…

ObjectivesThis study investigated the protective effects and mechanisms of rhaponticin (Rha) against acinar cell injury in acute pancreatitis (AP).MethodsPancreatic acinar cell injury was induced using multiple in vitro and in vivo AP model…

BackgroundEnvironmental exposure to trace and heavy metals may influence female fertility, yet their impact on assisted reproductive outcomes remains poorly defined. Maternal diet can potentially modulate metal-related toxicity by influenci…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of SEPT9 on proliferation, migration, and apoptosis in endometriotic stromal cells and to explore the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry and western blotting…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, which often causes pain, abnormal bleeding, and infertility. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1)-mediated deacetylation is implicated in the progression …

Ascites, a hallmark of advanced ovarian cancer, severely impairs patient quality of life and contributes to therapeutic resistance. Current management strategies remain primarily palliative, highlighting the urgent need to elucidate the und…

Cell invasion through basement membrane (BM) is energetically intensive. How cells produce high ATP levels to power invasion is understudied. By endogenously tagging 20 mitochondrial proteins, we identified a specialized mitochondrial subpo…

This study aims to characterize the expression pattern and biological functions of miR-433-3p in endometriosis. Eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissues were collected from endometriosis patients, and the expression level of miR-433-3p was d…

BackgroundImplantation failure is the most common cause of pregnancy failure and is a major limiting factor in assisted reproduction. Plasma microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles show dynamic changes among individuals with successful implant…

BackgroundThe incidence of malignant tumors/precancerous lesions is rising, yet their impact on pregnancy outcomes in women undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) remains unclear.MethodsA single-center…

ObjectiveTo investigate the interaction effects of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), antral follicle count (AFC), basal follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and endometrial thickness on the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART).Meth…

Dysbiosis of the female genital tract microbiota represents a key pathological basis underlying clinical symptoms such as vaginal dryness and dyspareunia, which subsequently contribute to diminished sexual quality of life (QoL) in women. Al…

Acute pancreatitis is a complex inflammatory disease with high morbidity and mortality, closely associated with intestinal barrier dysfunction, gut microbiota dysbiosis and abnormal lipid metabolism. Akkermansia muciniphila has been shown t…

BackgroundUnexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) poses a significant clinical challenge with an elusive pathogenesis. FABP4 is crucial for lipid homeostasis and placental development, but its specific role and regulatory mechanis…

OBJECTIVE: To compare dietary preparation durations and evaluate optimal diet types before high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Five hundred patients with uterine fibroids or adenomyosis undergoing HIF…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian endometriosis (OEMs) is a primary cause of female infertility and is driven primarily by fibrosis, which disrupts the ovarian follicular microenvironment. Pirfenidone (PFD), an FDA-approved antifibrotic drug, holds promi…

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a heterogeneous condition in which visceral, musculoskeletal, neuropathic, and pain-processing contributors often overlap. Pelvic floor ultrasound can depict morphology and movement, but its CPP-specific evidenc…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriomsis (EMs) is a complex and chronic gynecological disease characterized by distressing symptoms. Its pathogenesis remains unknown, and there is no effective treatment. Therefore, establishing patient-derived models i…

Adenomyosis (AM) is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder in which local steroid handling may contribute to clinical heterogeneity. To characterize estrogen metabolic features in AM, we used liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrom…

BackgroundAccurate diagnosis of rectal and perirectal lesions remains challenging, particularly for submucosal, necrotic, or anatomically complex masses where conventional endoscopic forceps biopsy (EFB) often yields insufficient tissue. Tr…

Poly(lactic acid-lactic acid) (PLGA) has demonstrated significant application potential in tumor-targeted drug delivery systems due to its excellent biocompatibility, degradability, and multifunctionality for loading various therapeutic age…

BackgroundThe increasing global incidence of endometrial cancer (EC) underscores the urgent need for effective early detection. Noninvasive detection approaches, such as transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS), frequently exhibit low specificity…

Diagnosing ovarian lesions is challenging because of their heterogeneous clinical presentations. Some benign ovarian conditions, such as endometriosis, can have features that mimic cancer. We use optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy …
