BackgroundThe etiology of interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/BPS) remains elusive, presenting significant challenges in both diagnosis and treatment. To address these challenges, we employed a comprehensive approach aimed at…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs), a common gynecological disorder, involves complex molecular mechanisms. Metabolic reprogramming (MR) has been recognized as a hallmark of EMs, contributing to lesion survival and immune microenvironment remo…
Advanced maternal age is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, the impact of changes in maternal physiology, biochemistry, vaginal microbiome, and its metabolites related to reproductive age on pregnancy outcomes is uncertain…
As one part of the innate immune response to external stimuli, chronic inflammation increases the risk of various cancers, and tumor-promoting inflammation is considered one of the enabling characteristics of cancer development. Recently, t…
Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder worldwide that significantly impairs the quality of life of patients and imposes a substantial economic burden. The limited efficacy and adverse effects of current pharmacological and surg…
ObjectiveRecurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a major pregnancy complication with unclear pathogenesis. This study aims to investigate the role of miR-20b-5p and its downstream target HIF-1α in trophoblast function and RSA pathogenesis.M…
Endometriosis‑associated infertility is considered to be linked to cellular senescence. The present study assessed whether rapamycin, a senescence inhibitor, ameliorates endometriosis‑associated infertility by upregulating peroxisome prolif…
BackgroundThe crosstalk between macrophages and trophoblasts plays a crucial role in the development and progression of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). Although M1 macrophages (M1-Mφ) are known to accumulate in RSA decidual tissues, t…
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of patients with endometriosis regarding surgical treatment and fertility preservation. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted in China betw…
BackgroundIn recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, the incidence rate of endometrial cancer shows a rising and younger trend in the world. Early stage endometrial cancer patients have a good prognosis after surgic…
BACKGROUND: The NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is crucial for innate immunity. However, its uncontrolled and dysregulated activation may cause various inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Therefore, tight…
Tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) contribute to breast cancer (BC) progression, and aquaporin 9 (AQP9) plays a critical role in tumor development. However, the interactions between TANs and AQP9 in BC are poorly understood. Bioinformatics…
BackgroundThis study aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of CA125, HE4, systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-t…
BackgroundImmunotherapy has emerged as a novel strategy for cancer treatment following surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Immune checkpoint blockade and Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies have been successful in clinical…
BackgroundPrior research showed that elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) before in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) treatment can lead to a lower rate of liv…
OBJECTIVE: This trial was to investigate the effect of different treatment methods on the clinical efficacy and fertility outcome of patients with adenomyosis. METHODS: In total, 140 patients with adenomyosis were evenly and randomly alloc…
IntroductionProgestin, commonly used in oral contraception and preventing preterm birth, elicits various off-target side effects on brain and gastrointestinal (GI) functions, yet the precise mechanisms remain elusive. This study aims to pro…
BACKGROUND: Insulin like growth factor II mRNA binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3) has been implicated in numerous inflammatory and cancerous conditions. However, its precise molecular mechanisms in endometriosis (EMs) remains unclear. The aim of t…
IntroductionThe polyspermy rate is a quality control indicator in the embryology laboratory, and factors affecting polyspermy are of great interest. The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol is currently the mainstream p…
PURPOSE: To predict the clinical outcome of symptomatic patients with uterine leiomyomas who underwent uterine artery embolization (UAE), based on clinical and radiological features. METHODS: Patients with symptomatic uterine leiomyomas wh…
IntroductionThis study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between phosphatidylcholine (PC) levels and dysmenorrhea using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.MethodsWe conducted a two-sample MR analysis using GWAS data on PC leve…
BackgroundThe cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) has been regarded as a key measure of in vitro fertilization (IVF) success after a complete treatment cycle. Women undergoing IVF face great psychological pressure and financial burden. A pred…
Endometriosis (EMS) belongs to a gynecological disorder with inflammation and the existence of endometrial-like tissues beyond the uterus, often leading to infertility and pelvic pain. Estrogen receptor β (ERβ) is significantly expressed in…
IntroductionMenstrual blood-derived stem cells (MenSCs) are vital in treating many degenerative and traumatic disorders. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain obscure in MenSCs-treating spinal cord injury (SCI) rats.MethodsMen…
