OBJECTIVE: Precision medicine applications depend on elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms of disease. However, many disorders, such as endometriosis, remain poorly characterised genetically due to data scarcity, positive-unlabell…

Endometriosis progression is driven by oxidative stress and excessive angiogenesis within an inflammatory microenvironment. To overcome these challenges, we designed ROS/pH dual-responsive Alpelisib-loaded nanoparticles (Alp@TAT-AT7-NPs) fu…

Interstitial cystitis (IC), also known as bladder pain syndrome (BPS), is a chronic and devastating urologic disease. Its characteristics include the damage to the barrier function of bladder mucosa, inflammation related to nerve activity a…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the long-term therapeutic efficacy of laparoscopy combined with transvaginal ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) for adenomyosis and to identify independent risk factors for postoperative symptomatic recurrenc…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to examine SEMA3C expression in endometriosis (EMs) and its relationship with ferroptosis in human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs). DESIGN: This experimental study used patient tissue samples and in …

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and the risk of PCOS increases in patients with T2DM of reproductive age. The bidirectional link between PCOS and T2DM has…

Objectives: To examine SEMA3C expression in endometriosis (EMs) and its relationship with ferroptosis in human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs).Design: Experimental study using patient tissue samples and in vitro gain- and loss-of-function…

INTRODUCTION: Adenomyosis, which affects > 20% of reproductive-age women, is a major cause of infertility. Defective decidualization of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) is a key pathogenic feature of adenomyosis; however, the underlying red…

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have focused on the effects of ambient air pollutant levels on assisted reproduction. This research focused on the combined effects of lower concentrations of air pollutants and multiple environmental factors on…

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) mainly depends on liver fibrosis/cirrhosis, which is regulated by tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME), and is a crucial factor in tumor progression. This study aimed to identify abnormally express…

We aimed to examine abnormal oxidative lipid levels and their related mechanisms in EM-associated infertility. Through liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry analysis, decreased levels of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which have…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a major contributor to infertility and pelvic pain, which brings a significant burden on family and society. Although the data of endometriosis in Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 was reviewed, no updated ana…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify and validate potential immune-related genes in endometriosis (Ems) through comprehensive bioinformatics analysis and immunohistochemistry (IHC) verification. DESIGN: Using data from the GEO database,…

PURPOSE: To test the expression profile of transient receptor potential channels (TRPs) in adenomyosis patients and evaluate the effects of primidone on tamoxifen-induced adenomyosis mice. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study included in vivo …

BACKGROUND: Advanced maternal age (AMA) is associated with increased infertility and poor outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF), with limited effective treatments available. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula Qiziyusi decocti…

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: This study assessed the impact of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection on ovarian reserve in women. METHODS: We analyzed data from 38,861 infertile women undergoing their first in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment (2016-…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is a difficult gynecological disease to cure. Frizzled-7 (FZD7) has been shown to be associated with the development of EMS, but its specific mechanism remains unclarified. This study aims to explore the role…

Endometriosis involves ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, yet the spatial transcriptomic and metabolic landscape of ovarian endometriomas remains poorly understood. This investigation presents a comprehensive multi-omics analysis of…

PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the roles of spermatozoal sialidase NEU1 and NEU3 in affecting the fertilization rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF), and whether sperm sialidase NEU1 and NEU3 can be used as predictors of IVF outcome. …

INTRODUCTION: Raising the temperature of abdominal wall endometriosis lesions contributes to an effective ablation; however, providing sufficient protection to the surrounding tissues remains a challenge. In this study, we aimed to combine …

OBJECTIVE: Very few and conflicting data are available regarding the correlation between circulating carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) levels and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and its components including albuminuria and a low estimated gl…

PURPOSE: This study aims to create and validate a clinical model that predict the probability of blastocyst formation in IVF/ICSI-ET cycles. METHODS: This study employed a retrospective methodology, gathering data from 4961 cleavage-stage …

BACKGROUND: Female pelvic peritoneal adhesions (FPPA) represent a significant global health burden. Dietary habits play a crucial role in health outcomes, yet their influence on FPPA remains unclear. This study aims to explore the bidirecti…
