BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disorder characterised by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, which can lead to clinical symptoms such as chronic inflammation, pelvic pain, and infertility. Aberrant cellular …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long-term therapeutic efficacy of uterine artery embolization (UAE) for adenomyosis and to identify independent prognostic factors associated with postoperative recurrence. METHODS: A total of 200 adenomyosis pati…

Endometriosis (EM) is a prevalent gynecological disorder linked to pelvic pain, menstrual disturbances, and infertility. Despite its clinical burden, the molecular mechanisms underlying EM remain elusive, necessitating the discovery of nove…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with cancer-like features, yet the mechanisms linking metabolic dysregulation to immune remodeling during lesion progression remain poorly understood. Here, we identify the ubiquitin E3 ligase…

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a leading cause of mortality among gynecological malignancies, predominantly due to late-stage diagnoses and complex management challenges. Traditional treatment strategies, primarily centered on extensive…

The onset of pregnancy is marked by the formation of a zygote, while the culmination of gestation is manifested by the delivery of a fetus. Meanwhile, a successful pregnancy entails a meticulously coordinated sequence of events from embryo …

STUDY QUESTION: Can harmine mitigate endometriosis by modulating oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) suppression and macrophage polarization? SUMMARY ANSWER: Harmine induces apoptosis in endometriotic lesions by inhibiting OXPHOS while also…

BACKGROUND: Early diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis (EM) remain challenging because of the lack of knowledge about EM development. While oxidative stress (OS) has been associated with EM, the link is unclear. We explored OS-related g…

Endometriosis (EM), a gynecologic disorder affecting 10 % of childbearing age women, with complex pathogenesis involving cell proliferation and metabolic abnormalities similar to malignancies. Unusual expression of key enzymes and regulator…

Background: Finding effective strategies and novel targets for reversing drug resistance is one of the major frontiers in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) research. Ferroptosis is participate in the malignant progression and drug resistance o…

Abstract A healthy endometrium is crucial for embryo implantation and pregnancy maintenance. Thin endometrium, reduced glands and fibrosis resulting from infection or mechanical injury, are the primary causes of long-term infertility and po…

Cross-disease genome-wide association studies (GWASs) unveil pleiotropic loci, mostly situated within the non-coding genome, each of which exerts pleiotropic effects across multiple diseases. However, the challenge "W-H-W" (namely, whether,…

IntroductionInvasive Stratified Mucin-producing Carcinoma (ISMC) of the cervix is a newly named cervical adenocarcinoma associated with Human Papilloma virus (HPV). Due to its relative rarity, clinical data, pathological features, and molec…

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of intravenous anesthetic drugs on fertilization rate in subjects receiving oocyte retrieval by assisted reproduction technology (ART).MethodsA retrospective cohort study wa…

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between Non-High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol to High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio (NHHR) and infertility in US female adults aged 20 to 45.MethodsOur research team utilized data from the…

P21-activated kinase 5 (PAK5) belongs to the PAK-II subfamily, which is an important regulator of cell survival, adhesion, and motility. However, the functions of PAK5 in endometriosis remain unclear. Here, PAK5 is strikingly upregulated in…

Available evidence demonstrates that individuals with body-image disturbance (BID) are prone to suffer from depression. This systematic review provides, to our knowledge, the first synthesis of the psychological mechanism of the association…

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the effect of acupuncture on symptoms and health-related quality of life in patients with endometriosis. METHODS: Nine biomedical databases were searched to April 2022 to identify randomized controll…

ObjectiveOvarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a distinct entity from epithelial ovarian cancer. The prognosis of advanced and recurrent disease is very poor due to resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. Our aim was to explore the molecula…

Cuproptosis is a new form of programmed cell death, which is associated with the mitochondrial TCA (tricarboxylic acid) cycle. But the functions of cuproptosis in endometriosis progression are still unknown. Here, we find that cuproptosis s…

PurposeWe aimed to compare embryo development, cumulative live birth rate (CLBR), and perinatal outcomes of embryos cultured in 20% and 5% oxygen from days 1 to 3 after insemination.MethodsThis retrospective study included patients who rece…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, a common gynaecological disease in women, affects 10% of women of childbearing age. Among infertile women, this proportion is as high as 30-50%. Despite the high prevalence of endometriosis, the pathogenesis of en…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the potential diagnostic markers and extent of immune cell infiltration in endometriosis (EMS). METHODS: Two published profiles (GSE7305 and GSE25628 datasets) were downloaded, and the candidate biomarkers were iden…
