OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the compatibility rules of acupoint selection in acupuncture treatment for infertility using data mining techniques. METHODS: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs)on acupuncture treatment for infertilit…
PURPOSE: The growing antimicrobial resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae (N. gonorrhoeae) complicates the elimination of gonococcal infections and increases the risk of female infertility. In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial susc…
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease with high recurrence rates after surgery and the lesions keep unlimited proliferative capacity. The effect of garcinol on cell proliferation has not been investigated in endometriosis. Herein,…
OBJECTIVE: The study systematically examines the long-term trends in the global burden of Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) across 204 countries and territories, with a specific focus on comparing pre-pandemic (1990-2019) and post-pandemic (…
Endometriosis (EMs) is a prevalent, estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic implantation and proliferation of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Ileal ureter replacement (IUR) is the definitive management approach for extensive ureteral strictures (UrSs). Patients with UrS exhibit poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We conducted a long-term, multi-…
Biomarkers play a pivotal role in contemporary medical research, particularly in the early diagnosis of diseases and personalized treatment. Although previous studies have systematically reviewed markers across various disease domains, an i…
Hydrogels are highly hydrated three-dimensional polymeric network materials that have attracted considerable attention in medical and biomedical fields owing to their favorable chemical modifiability, physical tunability, biocompatibility, …
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a heritable multisystem disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-coding gene ALPL. The genotype-phenotype correlation in heterozygous adults with HPP remains incom…
Aging impairs the regenerative capacity and differentiation potential of human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs), but the mechanisms underlying their functional decline remain unclear. Through systematic functional assays and in vivo exper…
OBJECTIVE: To identify independent risk factors for fertilization failure (FF) during conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF) and to develop a predictive model for clinical risk stratification. METHODS: This retrospective study included …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. There is a lack of effective biomarkers for early detection and revealing mechanisms of endometriosis. CSNK2A1 is a compositionally activ…
INTRODUCTION: Poor ovarian response (POR) remains a major obstacle in assisted reproductive technology, yet the follicular microenvironmental determinants of impaired ovarian sensitivity are poorly understood. This study aimed to characteri…
INTRODUCTION: Graves' disease (GD) is a classical autoimmune disorder caused by interactions between genetic susceptibility and immune dysregulation. However, the transcriptomic mechanisms underlying disease relapse and remission, particula…
Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as 2 or more pregnancy losses, affects 5-6% of ever-pregnant individuals. Approximately half of these cases have no identifiable explanation. In this study, we aim to identify diagnoses associated wit…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is a major female reproductive health issue with heterogeneous biological features on its subtypes, which may require different therapeutic strategies. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists were repor…
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the long-term therapeutic efficacy of laparoscopy combined with transvaginal ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) for adenomyosis and to identify independent risk factors for postoperative symptomatic recurrenc…
The MYC family has been the subject of extensive research in the field of cancer, yet the mechanisms by which these factors operate in the context of endometriosis remain unclear. Considering the existing studies on the MYC family and disea…
Endometriosis (EMs) features ectopic implantation of endometrial stromal cells (EESCs) and strong anoikis resistance, yet how inflammatory signals reprogram mitochondrial function remains unclear. Here, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there a relationship between the location of adenomyosis lesions and obstetric and neonatal outcomes? DESIGN: A total of 466 women diagnosed with adenomyosis via transvaginal ultrasound between January 2019 and Decemb…
BACKGROUND: Pro-EGCG has shown therapeutic promise for endometriosis, yet its immunoregulatory mechanisms remain unclear. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are key drivers of disease progression. This study investigates whether Pro-E…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a leading cause of chronic pelvic pain (CPP), but the public transcriptomic datasets analysed here contain no pain phenotype, links to CPP are therefore hypothesis-generating. METHODS: We re-analysed GSE153739 …

BACKGROUND: Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) facilitate tracheal intubation and laparoscopic exposure, but residual neuromuscular blockade remains a perioperative concern. We evaluated whether reducing NMBA exposure during total laparo…
