Mitophagy is a catabolic mechanism that selectively degrades damaged mitochondria and precisely modulates mitochondrial content, thereby maintaining intracellular homeostasis under stress conditions. To date, most reviews on mitophagy have …
Over the last two decades, tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors (TNF-Is) have become standard therapies for chronic inflammatory disorders, with an ongoing expansion of indications and off-label applications [...].
The rapid accumulation of biomedical cohort data presents opportunities to explore disease mechanisms, risk factors, and prognostic markers. However, current research often has a narrow focus, limiting the exploration of risk factors and in…
AIMS: Endometriosis development is associated with peritoneal immune microenvironment abnormality; however, the specific mechanism is uncertain. We aimed to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of uterine cavity-derived exosome…
BACKGROUND Acute urinary retention (AUR) is relatively rare in non-pregnant women and is usually associated with lower urinary tract dysfunction, neurological issues, or pelvic organ compression. Adenomyosis is a common gynecologic conditio…
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Chikusetsusaponin IVa (CHS IVa) as a natural extract from the Panax japonicus (T.Nees) C.A.Mey (P. japonicus), can regulate the immune responses, such as anti-inflammation, which have been applied in treating…
ObjectivesEarly identification of sarcopenia in patients with chronic liver disease is crucial for patient management and prevention of severe complications. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of Ishii score, Strength, Assistance with Wal…
PURPOSE: The preoperative diagnosis of endometriosis associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) remains challenging for lack of effective diagnostic biomarker. We aimed to study clinical characteristics and develop a nomogram for diagnosing EAOC befo…
IntroductionThis report details a case of Type I oblique vaginal septum syndrome (OVSS), highlighting its complexity as a congenital uterine malformation.Case presentationA 12-year-old girl presented with severe lower abdominal pain coincid…
MotivationExploring potential associations between diseases can help in understanding pathological mechanisms of diseases and facilitating the discovery of candidate biomarkers and drug targets, thereby promoting disease diagnosis and treat…
Endometrial collagen I undergoes dynamic degradation and remodelling in response to endometrial stromal cell (ESC) decidualization and embryo implantation. However, excessive collagen I deposition in the endometrium during the implantation …
The proliferation and death of granulosa cells (GCs) in poultry play a decisive role in follicular fate and egg production. The follicular fluid (FF) contains a variety of nutrients and genetic substances to ensure the communication between…
We evaluated the diagnostic performance of a multimodal deep-learning (DL) model for ovarian mass differential diagnosis. This single-center retrospective study included 1,054 ultrasound (US)-detected ovarian tumors (699 benign and 355 mali…
BackgroundMyofascial pelvic pain (MFPP), which is identified by tender points in the pelvic floor musculature, is a prevalent source of chronic pelvic pain in women. It may lead to physical and mental exhaustion, reproductive concerns, and …
Endometrial disorders, such as infertility and endometriosis, significantly impact reproductive health, thus necessitating better models to study endometrial function. Current in vitro models fail to replicate the complexity of the human en…
PurposeAccurate segmentation of the endometrium in ultrasound images is essential for gynecological diagnostics and treatment planning. Manual segmentation methods are time-consuming and subjective, prompting the exploration of automated so…
LncRNAs are highly implicated in oxidative stress (OS) during the growth of mammalian follicles. TAK1 binding protein 2 gene (TAB2) has been suggested to involve in the normal apoptosis and proliferation of granulosa cells (GCs), the main s…
Background/objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between urate level and female infertility using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.MethodsTo identify instrumental variables, we selected independent genetic lo…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is an enigmatic disease of yet-unknown pathogenesis. Disulfidptosis, a novel identified form of programmed cell death resulting from disulfide stress, stands a chance of treating diverse ailments. However, th…
PurposeUrologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome has attracted a lot of attention in the new century, and an increasing number of relevant studies have been published. Therefore, we performed a bibliometric analysis of these publications, hopin…
The quality and maturation of an oocyte not only play decisive roles in fertilization and embryo success, but also have long-term impacts on the later growth and development of the fetus. Female fertility declines with age, reflecting a dec…
Background/aimThis study investigated the clinicopathological characteristics and treatment of appendix neuroendocrine neoplasms in appendectomy specimens of our center.Materials and methodsThe clinicopathological data, including age, sex, …
BackgroundInsulin resistance (IR) may adversely impact the in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes. However, the association of IR with ovarian sensitivity during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation …
PurposeTo prospectively study the influence of the volume of the uterine junctional zone (JZ) as a novel predictor of reproductive outcomes in frozen embryo transfer cycles.MethodsAmong the first 30 patients, intra- and interobserver repeata…
OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) is difficult to diagnose because of its low incidence, uncertain risk factors, and the absence of effective markers. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of E…
