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…

Endometriosis (EM) affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and remains a prevalent estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder with limited therapeutic efficacy and high recurrence rates. Ferroptosis-an iron-dependent, non-apop…

Paediatric burn patients, including those with non-severe burns, have an increased risk of admission to hospital for mental health conditions for many years after the burn, even in children too young at the time of the burn to remember the …

BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, repeated oocyte retrieval cycles are often necessary for patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). It has been hypothesized that the mechanical stimulation from the initial oocyte pick-up (OPU) proced…

BackgroundUnexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) poses a significant clinical challenge with an elusive pathogenesis. FABP4 is crucial for lipid homeostasis and placental development, but its specific role and regulatory mechanis…

PurposeVaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is an innovative minimally invasive procedure. The study aimed to evaluate whether vNOTES achieves non-inferior results compared to conventional laparoscopy in patients…

BackgroundBovine endometritis is a prevalent uterine disease that directly curtails reproductive performance and indirectly reduces milk production by increasing calving intervals. Postpartum uterine bacterial infection is the primary cause…

Neutrophils are important components of the immune system and play a key role in defending against pathogenic infections and responding to inflammatory cues, including cancer. Their dysregulation indicates potential disease risk factors. Ho…

BackgroundInformation on the impact of Progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol on embryo euploid status and preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) outcomes is limited compared with other ovarian stimulation prot…

Endometriosis is a chronic multisystem disease associated with immunological, genetic, hormonal, psychological, and neuroscientific factors, leading to a significant socioeconomic impact worldwide. Though multidisciplinary management is the…

Krüppel-like factors (KLFs) are a family of basic transcription factors with three conserved Cys2/His2 zinc finger domains located in their C-terminal regions. It is acknowledged that KLFs exert complicated effects on cell proliferation, di…

Purpose: To identify the learning curve in ovarian cystectomy by vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery. Methods: Data consist of consecutively ordered patients who underwent ovarian cystectomy via vaginal natural orifice t…

BackgroundThe etiology of premature ovarian insufficiency, that is, the loss of ovarian activity before 40 years of age, is complex. Studies suggest that genetic factors are involved in 20-25% of cases. The aim of this study was to explore …

Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β is a multifunctional cytokine expressed by almost every tissue and cell type. The signal transduction of TGF-β can stimulate diverse cellular responses and is particularly critical to embryonic development…

Macroautophagy, commonly referred to as autophagy, is an essential cytoprotective mechanism that plays a significant role in cellular homeostasis. It has emerged as a promising target for drug development aimed at treating various cancers a…

BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in combination with peritoneal lavage for the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed d…

Macrophages are a type of immune cells with high levels of plasticity and heterogeneity. They can polarize into M1 or M2 functional phenotypes. These two phenotypes exhibit a dynamic balance during polarization-related diseases and play opp…

Abstract Background: Endometriosis is considered to be a complex gynecological disorder that affects the health and quality of life of affected women. The etiology and pathogenesis of endometriosis remain unclear, and few modifiable risk fa…

Articular cartilage allows the human body to buffer and absorb stress during normal exercise. It is mainly composed of cartilage cells and the extracellular matrix and is surrounded by the extracellular microenvironment formed by synovial f…

BackgroundChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive disease characterized by chronic inflammation and airway remodeling. Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) plays a critical role in various inflammatory or fibrotic diseases…

To investigate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in ovarian thecoma and improve preoperative diagnostic accuracy.Retrospective analysis was performed on 45 patients with surgically and pathologically confirmed ovarian thecoma. P…

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of gonadotropin dose and endometrial thickness (EMT) on pregnancy outcome in patients undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI).MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed data from 3…

Pelvic organ prolapses (POP) notably reduces the quality of life in elderly populations due to bladder and bowel dysfunction, incontinence, and coital problems. Extracellular matrix (ECM) disorder is a pivotal event in the progression of PO…
