Endometriosis is increasingly recognized as a systemic disorder involving complex interactions between nerves and immune cells, driving chronic pain and inflammation beyond the initial theories. Recent breakthroughs highlight aberrant senso…

Background and objectiveIleal 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-in…

Background: The apoptosis affected the prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD); we aimed to explore the potential pathogenesis of high-risk patients based on the apoptosis features. Method: The RNA-seq data of patients and apoptosis genes were used …

BackgroundUreteral 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 technically …

BackgroundSpontaneous ureteral rupture is a rare and emergent urological entity, with limited literature guiding its diagnosis and management. Its non-specific presentation can lead to delayed recognition, posing risks of severe complicatio…

OBJECTIVE: The prevalence of steatotic liver disease (SLD) is increasing globally. Endometriosis, affecting up to 10% of women, is a major cause of infertility. While associations between endometriosis and metabolic syndrome have been repor…

Objective: The prevalence of steatotic liver disease (SLD) is rising globally, while endometriosis is a leading cause of infertility. Although links with metabolic syndrome have been reported, its relationship with SLD remains unclear. We …

Despite several factors influencing reproduction in geese, but the precise molecular mechanisms of egg cessation are not fully understood. In the present study, the hematopoietic parameters and serum hormone levels in Wanxi white geese were…

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing, and remitting disease characterized by chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. The exact etiology and pathogenesis of IBD remain elusive. Although ELF-1 has been known to…

Myocardial infarction (MI) results in cardiomyocyte necrosis and conductive system damage, leading to sudden cardiac death and heart failure. Studies have shown that conductive biomaterials can restore cardiac conduction, but cannot facilit…

Cutaneous endometriosis is a rare manifestation of endometriosis, and few reports on its dermoscopic features have been published. In this case report, we present a 40-year-old female with cutaneous endometriosis arising in a caesarean scar…

BackgroundPoor oocyte quality remains one of the major challenges for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Granulosa cells (GCs) in PCOS display altered functions and could cause an unfavo…

ObjectiveAs a result of the growing access to the Internet, online medical platforms have gained increased popularity in China. However, which strategies doctors should use to improve their online communication with patients remains underst…

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to comprehensively investigate the potential genetic link between periodontitis and adverse pregnancy outcomes using a two-sample Mendelian Randomization approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We employed robust genet…

Both the uterus and breasts have sex hormone dependence, yet there are few studies on the association between breast disease and uterine fibroids (UFs). The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of benign breast disease (BB…

Abstract Background Thisretrospective cohort study analyzed the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) cancer in patients who underwent hysterectomy due to a benign gynecologic disease in comparison with the no hysterectomy group using Korean health…

BackgroundDisturbances in immunological responses and modulation lead to implantation and pregnancy failure and might be involved in the pathogenesis of infertility. This project aimed to screen and identify immune-related genes as potentia…

We investigated the effects of serum estrogen levels before frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer on pregnancy outcomes in hormone replacement cycles. Clinical data of 708 hormone replacement cycles with frozen-thawed blastocyst were retrospect…

Objectives: This study aims to comprehensively investigate the potential genetic link between periodontitis and adverse pregnancy outcomes using a two-sample Mendelian Randomization approach. Materials and Methods We employed robust genet…

Cisplatin is a common anticancer drug able to kill tumor cells, but it causes adverse reactions in the kidney, digestive tract, and other systems. The antitumor effects of cisplatin are mainly due to its ability to bind to the DNA in tumor …

IntroductionRobotic ureteral reconstruction (RUR) has been widely used to treat ureteral diseases. To summarize the surgical techniques, complications, and outcomes following RUR, as well as to compare data on RUR with open and laparoscopic…

BackgroundThe KangDuo-Surgical Robot-01 (KD-SR-01) system is a new surgical robot recently developed in China. The aim of this study was to present our single-center experience and mid-term outcomes of urological procedures using the KD-SR-…

BACKGROUND: Several population-based studies and observational studies have shown that oophorectomy is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), and hormone replacement therapy has been associated with a reduction in the…

Multimodal synergistic bactericidal agents display great potential for fighting biofilm infections. However, the rational design of biofilm microenvironment (BME)-activatable therapeutic agents with excellent specificities, effective eradic…

Fallopian tube (FT) homeostasis requires dynamic regulation of heterogeneous cell populations and is disrupted in infertility and ovarian cancer. Here, we applied single-cell RNA-seq to profile 59,738 FT cells from four healthy, pre-menopau…
