BACKGROUND: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA), the most prevalent form of hair loss, is driven by the dysfunction of dermal papilla cells (DPCs). Emerging evidence implicates DPC senescence in the pathogenesis of AGA; however, the underlying mole…

Infertility is a prevalent clinical issue which disrupts normal human life and exerts an impact on fertility rates within the population. The increase in environmental pollutants, including acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), has given rise to …

INTRODUCTION: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains the most lethal gynecological malignancy, and accurate prediction of long-term survival remains challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic associations of prespecified clin…

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the risk of cesarean scar diverticulum associated with the timing of cesarean section. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study involving three Chinese hospitals. A total of 11,132 women were inclu…

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 (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…

The diverse and dynamic population of microorganisms present in the gut microbiota may affect host health. There are evidences to support the role of gut microbiota as a key player in reproductive development. Unfortunately, the relationshi…

PURPOSE: Because hearing impairment as an invisible disability is not considered to have serious body image problems, the impact of body image on negative emotions of deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) college students has been relatively neglec…

Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix (SCNEC) is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. We report the case of a 36-year-old nulliparous woman with a history of HPV-18 infection and repeated cytology showi…

BACKGROUND: Some factors that influence the medical abortion(MA) process are unknown. This study aims to investigate the influential factors associated with abortion time, bleeding volume, pain scores, and anxiety during the process of MA. …

BACKGROUND: Urinary incontinence (UI) is commonly linked to pregnancy and obstetric factors, but the association between fetal birthweight and maternal UI remains contentious. This study investigates the association between fetal birthweigh…

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an inflammatory disease of the intestine whose primary pathological presentation is the destruction of the intestinal epithelium. The intestinal epithelium, located between the lumen and lamina propria, t…

Oxazole, a five-membered aromatic heterocycle featuring a nitrogen and an oxygen atom separated by a carbon atom, and its isomer isoxazole, with directly attached oxygen and nitrogen atoms, have been pivotal in medicinal chemistry. Over the…

BACKGROUND: Ureteral reimplantation plays a crucial role in distal ureteral reconstruction, and the integration of robotic systems has greatly enhanced minimally invasive surgical techniques. This pilot study aims to evaluate the technicall…

Through a combination of single-cell/single-nucleus RNA-Seq (sc/snRNA-Seq) data analysis, immunohistochemistry, and primary macrophage studies, we have identified pathogenic macrophages characterized by Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 3 (TET…

BACKGROUND: There are no specific guidelines regarding the definition, diagnostic workup and treatment of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) in China at present. Whether the diagnostic workup should occur after two or three or more pregnancy lo…

A considerable number of women of reproductive age suffer from endometriosis worldwide. There is a significant physical, mental, and financial burden on patients affected by this condition in terms of pelvic pain, either continuously or int…

The burgeoning field of metabolomics has piqued the interest of researchers in the context of benign gallbladder diseases, which include conditions such as gallbladder polyps, gallstones, and cholecystitis, which are common digestive system…

BACKGROUND: The timely identification and management of ovarian cancer are critical determinants of patient prognosis. In this study, we developed and validated a deep learning radiomics nomogram (DLR_Nomogram) based on ultrasound (US) imag…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that affects approximately 5 %∼10 % of reproductive-aged women. Zinc (Zn), selenium (Se), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co) and molybdenum (Mo) are essential trace elements and are very imp…

Background: Endometriosis, characterized by extrauterine endometrial tissue, leads to irregular bleeding and pelvic pain. Menstrual retrograde theory suggests fragments traverse fallopian tubes, causing inflammation and scar tissue. Prevale…

IN BRIEF: Abnormal glucose metabolism may be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The present study identifies that highly expressed H19 leads to increased aerobic glycolysis and histone lactylation levels in endometriosis. ABSTR…

Pulmonary endometriosis is a rare disease of uncertain pathogenesis which generally presents with the cyclic clinical symptoms and catamenial changes noticed on computer tomography during menstruation. We report a case of a 33-year-old woma…

Endometriosis is a chronic disease associated with a disrupted oxidative balance and chronic inflammation. In this study, we investigated the role of glutathione S-transferase Mu class 4 (GSTM4) in endometriosis and determined whether 6-(7-…

Mitochondria play a pivotal role in physiological and metabolic function of the cell. Mitochondrial dynamics orchestrate mitochondrial function and morphology, involving fission and fusion as well as ultrastructural remodeling. Mounting evi…
