Fungal biofilms, as self-produced extracellular polymeric substances that resist antifungal agents and immune defense, represent a major cause of treatment failure and recurrent infections. Therefore, it is of great importance to eradicate …

Endometrial dysfunction underlies many common gynecologic disorders, such as endometriosis, endometrial cancer, intrauterine adhesions, and endometritis, which affect many women around the world. Extracellular vesicles play an important rol…

Diseases of the female reproductive system are prevalent. These conditions often have a high proportion of asymptomatic patients and prolonged treatment durations. Estrogen, a crucial steroid hormone, plays a central role in most diseases o…

BACKGROUND: Programmed protocols are most commonly chosen as endometrial preparation for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. However, the efficacy of gonadotropin-releasing ho…

This study aims to identify angiogenesis-associated genes (AAGs) in endometriosis (EM) by integrating bioinformatics analysis with machine learning, and to investigate their underlying mechanisms. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were …

Abstract Delayed diagnosis of endometriosis (EM) can significantly hinder treatment options and patient prognosis, adversely affecting fertility and increasing the risk of malignancy. Current diagnostic methods are invasive. In our study, …

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis, a chronic oestrogen-dependent disorder, presents significant clinical challenges including pelvic pain, dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia and infertility. While numerous interventions exist, evidence guiding the choice…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a persistent inflammatory condition whose three main symptoms, mass, pain, and infertility, severely affect female patients of childbearing age. Hu-Po-San (HPS), a preparation consisting of various herbal …

BACKGROUND: The potential modifiable factors influencing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have not been thoroughly documented. We aimed to systematically investigate the modifiable factors associated with IBS, while accounting for the impact …

In the field of genetic breeding, primordial germ cells (PGCs) have become essential cells for gene editing and genetic improvement due to their unique developmental potential and genetic characteristics. However, the low proliferation effi…

OBJECTIVE: To address the relation among pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), genetic vulnerability and ovarian cancer (OC) risk, we assessed the association between PID and OC risk, alongside the interplay with germline homologous recombinat…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a gynecological disorder characterized by chronic inflammation and an aberrant immune microenvironment. In this study, we integrated the GSE6364 dataset from the GEO database to identify differentially expressed genes…

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by progressive fibrosis, which is closely associated with clinical symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and infertility. While myofibroblast activation is central to fibrogenesis, the…

OBJECTIVES: Early menarche affects the mental and physical health of girls, but the evidence of the association between birth weight/rapid weight gain and early menarche is inconsistent. We conduct this systematic review and meta-analysis t…

Endometrial cancer is a significant threat to the health of women worldwide. Extracellular vesicles are essential for the proliferation, migration, and invasion of cancer cells, whereas tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) are key regulator…

Background: The emerging paradigm of whole person health shares many core principles with traditional complementary and integrative health frameworks, including Tai Chi and Qigong (TCQ). Methods: In the Fall of 2023, the Harvard Medical Sch…

To explore the cause-effect relationship between uterine diseases (UDs) and breast cancer (BC) and underlying mechanism of the cause-effect relationship, enhance understanding of the association between BC and UDs. A two-sample bidirectiona…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the cause-effect relationship between uterine diseases (UDs) and breast cancer (BC) and underlying mechanism of the cause-effect relationship, enhance understanding of the association between BC and UDs. METHODS: A tw…

BACKGROUND: Hereditary primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) accounts for 5-10% of all PHPT cases, necessitating genetic testing for diagnosis and management. Among these, hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome (HPT-JT) is an autosomal dominan…

Ovarian cancer, a group of heterogeneous diseases, presents with extensive characteristics with the highest mortality among gynecological malignancies. Accurate and early diagnosis of ovarian cancer is of great significance. Here, we presen…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a complicated and enigmatic disease that significantly diminishes the quality of life for women affected by this condition. Increased levels of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) mRNA and telomerase a…

IntroductionAcute pancreatitis (AP) is a severe inflammatory disease of the pancreas that could trigger a systemic inflammation and multi-organ dysfunction. Stigmasterol, a natural plant sterol found in various herbs and vegetables, exhibit…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the main cause of anovulatory infertility in women of reproductive age, and low-grade chronic inflammation plays a key role in the occurrence and development of PCOS. However, obesity, as a li…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to explore the mechanism of methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) on human endometriotic stromal cell (ESC; HEM15A) proliferation, migration, and invasion to provide novel therapy for endometriosis (EMs). …
