Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive and metabolic disorder with a complex and yet unresolved etiology. Although ovulation induction therapy can improve ovulatory function, the natural pregnancy rate and pregnancy outco…

BackgroundRecent findings have demonstrated that inadequate trophoblast migration and invasion are often responsible for the unsuccessful communication between the mother and fetus, contributing to URSA (unexplained recurrent spontaneous ab…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Sepsis-related acute lung injury (S-ALI) had become an important public health issue worldwide. However, the mechanism of S-ALI was still not fully understood. This study aims to investigate the possibility of exos…

Pancreatitis, an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas, remains a significant clinical challenge owing to its complex pathogenesis and the lack of reliable biomarkers for early diagnosis and effective treatment. Exosomes, small extracellula…

BACKGROUND: Microplastics (MPs) are pervasive environmental pollutants that pose significant health risks. While their prevalence in ecosystems is well-established, their accumulation in the human body and potential role in tumorigenesis de…

Ginseng, a traditional herb with a history spanning thousands of years in Asian culture, has gained widespread recognition for its valuable pharmacological properties. The primary active constituents of ginseng, ginsenosides, are renowned f…

Oocyte aging is closely related to a decline in female fertility, accompanied by increased reactive oxygen species levels and changes in protein posttranslational modifications. However, the role of protein palmitoylation in oocyte aging ha…

ObjectiveChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic respiratory disease with high prevalence, morbidity, and mortality. Chuankezhi (CKZ) injection, a Chinese patent medicine, has been commonly used for treating COPD. This stu…

To present our experience with laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy with bladder flap (LUCBF) for treating benign ureteral stenosis and evaluate its feasibility and efficacy. The clinical data of 27 patients with benign ureteral stenosis who u…

Epigenetic regulation is an important entry point to study the pathogenesis of selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR), and an understanding of the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in sFGR is lacking. Our study aimed to investigate t…

BackgroundAccurate preoperative assessment of the efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for uterine fibroids is essential for good treatment results. The aim of this study was to develop robust radiomics models for p…

BackgroundThis study aimed to identify the diagnostic value of models constructed using computed tomography-based radiomics features for discrimination of benign and early stage malignant ovarian tumors.MethodsThe imaging and clinicopatholo…

N6-metyladenosine (m6A), one of the most common RNA methylation modifications in mammals, has attracted extensive attentions owing to its regulatory roles in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. As a reversible epigenetic …

BackgroundAs an inevitable event after kidney transplantation, ischemia‒reperfusion injury (IRI) can lead to a decrease in kidney transplant success. The search for signature genes of renal ischemia‒reperfusion injury (RIRI) is helpful in i…

This prospective cohort study aimed to determine the impact of thyroid autoimmunity and total 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration on early pregnancy outcomes in women undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection who had …

tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are derived from tRNA and include tRNA halves (tiRNAs) and tRNA fragments (tRFs). tsRNAs have been implicated in a variety of important biological functions, such as cell growth, transcriptional regulation, …

This prospective cohort study aimed to determine the effects of thyroid autoimmunity, serum/follicular fluid vitamin D levels, and vitamin D receptor expression in granulosa cells on laboratory outcomes of in vitro fertilization/intracytopl…

Background: This study sought to explore the anti-inflammatory mechanism of Wuyao (radix linderae)-Danshen (salviae miltiorrhiza) in endometriosis (EMS) based on network pharmacology and molecular docking. Methods: The active constituents o…

Endoscopic optical imaging technologies for the detection and evaluation of dysplasia and early cancer have made great strides in recent decades. With the capacity of in vivo early detection of subtle lesions, they allow modern endoscopists…

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to evaluate whether endometriosis could disturb the mental health and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients and to provide a new prospective for further treatment of endometriosis. METHODS: A comp…

tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs), which are non-coding RNAs produced via tRNA cleavage with lengths of 14 to 50 nucleotides, originate from precursor tRNAs or mature tRNAs and exist in a wide range of organisms. tRFs are produced not by random…

BackgroundAged rhesus monkeys exhibit deficits in memory mediated by the hippocampus. Although extensive research has been carried out on the characteristics of human hippocampal aging, there is still very little scientific understanding of…

Genetic causes of male infertility that is associated with aging are largely unknown. This study was designed to identify novel pathogenic variants of FOXP3 gene causing azoospermia. One homozygous (c.155 G > T) pathogenic variant of FOXP3 …

Research has strongly suggested that the features of endometriosis serve as a precursor lesion of ovarian cancer. Cisplatin (CDDP) is the preferred drug against these cancer types. The present study investigated the effects of CDDP on surgi…
