Female reproductive disorders influence women's physical and mental well-being, and the sustainability of the family. However, it is unclear whether lifestyle factors, including sedentary behaviors and physical activity, could impact them. …

Endometriosis (EM) is driven by immune dysregulation and macrophage dysfunction, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, metabolomic profiling revealed excessive itaconate accumulation in EM lesions, primarily due to elevated ci…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) exacerbated by obesity represents a complex intersection of endocrine and immune dysregulation, significantly impairing reproductive and metabolic health. This characterizes the immune-inflammatory landscape…

DNA methylation is a common endogenous chemical modification in eukaryotic DNA, primarily involving the covalent attachment of a methyl group to the fifth carbon of cytosine residues, leading to the formation of 5-methylcytosine (5mC). This…

Adenomyosis, characterized by clinical intractability, significantly impacts female fertility and life quality due to the absence of definitive diagnostic markers and effective treatment options. The invagination theory is a primary hypothe…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the invasion of endometrial tissues into the myometrium of the uterus, with pathophysiology linked to chronic inflammation and metabolic dysregulation. However, th…

Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent gynecological disease afflicting reproductive-age women, characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. The clinical manifestations of this condition include pelvic pain, dyspareun…

BackgroundUterine angioleiomyoma is a rare variant of leiomyoma, and the main therapy is complete surgery. This study introduces the benefit of three-dimensional computed tomography reconstruction for preoperative preparation.Case presentat…

Abstract Abstract: Context: Graves’ orbitopathy (GO) presents with infiltrative exophthalmos due to excessive proliferation, adipogenesis and glycosaminoglycans production of orbital fibroblasts (OFs). There are few therapies potent for pro…

Mullerianosis of the urinary bladder is a rare entity characterized by the presence of an admixture of at least two types of mullerian tissue in the muscularis propria of the bladder. We report a case of mullerianosis of the urinary bladder…
