Long interspersed element 1 (LINE-1) retrotransposons are repetitive sequences that can move within the genome by an autonomous mechanism. To limit their mutagenic potential, benign cells restrict LINE-1 expression through molecular mechani…
OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis increases ovarian cancer (OC) risk through genetic mutations, chronic inflammation, and hormonal dysregulation, yet the underlying molecular pathways remain underexplored. This study aims to identify endometriosis-a…
Endometrial injury is a prevalent gynecological condition that poses a significant threat to fertility and women's health. While the current reported endometrial organoids demonstrate potential in remodeling endometrial functions, they ofte…
BACKGROUND: Many components in follicular fluid (FF), such as peptide hormones, cytokines, and steroids, undergo dynamic changes during folliculogenesis and have important roles in follicular development. Because systemic inflammation has a…
Menstrual blood (MB), a biofluid rich in diverse cell types and biomolecules, has emerged as a vital resource for investigating female reproductive health and diseases because of its unique composition and noninvasive accessibility. This re…
BACKGROUND: Cholangiocarcinoma is a common hepatic malignant tumor with an unfavorable prognosis. Therefore, we systematically evaluated the transcriptomic landscape of CHOL by whole transcriptome sequencing technology in this study and con…
BACKGROUND: Increasing number of studies have demonstrated certain patterns of microbial changes in gynecological diseases; however, the interaction between them remains unclear. To evaluate the consistency or specificity across multiple st…
OBJECTIVE: To construct a machine learning diagnostic model integrating feature dimensionality reduction techniques and artificial neural network classifiers to develop the value of clinical routine blood indexes for the auxiliary diagnosis…
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), integral components of the tumor microenvironment, play a pivotal role in tumor proliferation, metastasis, and clinical outcomes. However, its specific roles in Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma (KIRC) …
Ferroptosis, caused by disorders of iron metabolism, plays a critical role in various diseases, making the regulation of iron metabolism essential for tissue repair. In our analysis of degenerated intervertebral disc tissue, we observe a po…
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a class of anthropogenic organic compounds widely present in the natural and human living environments. These emerging persistent pollutants can enter the human body through multiple channels,…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the changes in serum Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels, sex hormone levels, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)/luteinizing hormone (LH) ratio in patients with celiac disease (CeD), and their correl…
Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal malignant tumors, characterized by high incidence and poor prognosis. Patients relapse occurred in 65-80% after initial treatment. To date, no effective treatment has been established for these patie…
BACKGROUND: Obesity has significant implications for fertility and reproductive health. However, evidences linking abdominal obesity to female infertility were limited and inconclusive. Our objective was to figure out the potential relation…
BACKGROUND: Currently, fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG) is the most frequently used diagnostical radiotracer for PET/computed tomography (PET/CT) in ovarian malignancies. However, 18 F-FDG has some limitations. The fibroblast acti…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a severe disease which is associated with excessive activation of pyroptosis. Our present research aimed to investigate the function of Forkhead Box A2 (FoxA2) in regulating pyroptosis in endometriosis. METHODS…
OBJECTIVE: Several studies have reported the association between gut microbiota and infertility; however, the causal association between them remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the causal relationship between gut microbiota and in…
CONTEXT: Endometriosis (EMs) is a gynecological disorder. Ligustrazine has been reported to exert an anti-inflammatory effect on EMs. However, the underlying mechanisms are not completely understood. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects o…
BACKGROUND: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification plays key roles in tumor progression. LncRNA deoxyguanosine kinase antisense RNA 1 (DGUOK-AS1) has been reported as a promoter in tumors, but its role and mechanism in non-small cell lung ca…
BACKGROUND: The study of pathologic diagnosis of placental TB is rare. The aim of this study is analyzing the pathomorphological characteristics of tuberculosis (TB) placenta during pregnancy and its clinical significance. METHODS: Ninetee…
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Endometriosis is most commonly found in the pelvic area, ~12% of people have it in other areas or organs, which is known as extrapelvic endometriosis. Thoracic endometriosis, which is also classified as extrapel…
BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence has shown that necroptosis has enormous significance in the generation and deterioration of cancer, and miRNA molecular markers involved in necroptosis in low-grade gliomas (LGGs) have not been thoroughly rep…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a disease characterized by estrogen-dependent, chronic inflammatory, and annoying symptoms, which inflicts about 10% reproductive-age women. The diagnosis of endometriosis mainly depends on pathological examination af…
OBJECTIVE: To use the logistic regression model to evaluate the value of ultrasound characteristics in the Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System ultrasound lexicon in determining ovarian solid component-containing mass benignancy/malign…
