Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a severe form of endometriosis that rarely undergoes malignant transformation, and when it does, diagnosis is often difficult. Here, we report two cases of long-standing DIE that progressed to endome…

Recurrent implantation failure (RIF), characterized by repeated failure to achieve clinical pregnancy after embryo transfer, is often associated with abnormal endometrial conditions. However, unexplained RIF is unique in that its underlying…

Poor ovarian response (POR) constitutes a notable clinical challenge within the domain of assisted reproductive technology, primarily attributable to the lack of reliable biomarkers for precise diagnosis and treatment. This study reveals si…

BackgroundRecent studies have revealed that the anti-inflammatory properties of vitamin D may play a role in pain regulation. To systematically map the global research landscape on vitamin D and chronic or idiopathic pain from 2000 to 2023,…

PurposeInfants born after assisted reproductive technology (ART) have more adverse health outcomes than spontaneously conceived infants. Evidence on the impact of ART on the offspring's visual system, particularly refractive errors (REs), r…

Angiogenesis is critical from early development through the progression of life-threatening diseases. In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), angiogenesis is markedly heightened and undergoes aberrant changes that exacerbate the progression of synovi…

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), a life-threatening inflammatory disease of the pancreas, has a high mortality rate (∼40 %). Current therapeutic approaches, including antibiotics, trypsin inhibitors, fasting, rehydration, and even continuou…

BackgroundPremature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is characterized by ovarian dysfunction that develops from diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). The exact aetiology of POI remains poorly understood. This study aims to elucidate the role of CKAP…

Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is a critical post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism, yet its role in follicular development and atresia in waterfowl remains poorly understood. To address this, we performed full-length transcriptome se…

BackgroundInfertility is a burdensome, often overlooked condition. This study aimed to investigate the global distribution and trends in the burden of infertility from 1990 to 2021.MethodsWe obtained data on the prevalence and years lived w…

BackgroundEpithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) currently lacks highly specific biomarkers for clinical screening. This study aimed to identify and validate novel auxiliary diagnostic markers for EOC.MethodsThrough integrated analysis of transcri…

Background and purposePatients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) develop cysts in the kidneys, liver, spleen, pancreas, prostate, and arachnoid spaces. In addition, spinal meningeal diverticula have been reported. To…

Non-obstructive azoospermia, a severe form of male infertility caused by spermatogenic failure (SPGF), has a largely unknown genetic basis across ancestries. To our knowledge, this is the first trans-ethnic meta-analysis of genome-wide asso…

BackgroundInfertility poses a significant burden on both global and national scales. However, the epidemiology of primary infertility among reproductive-aged couples in China remains poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to investi…

In this multicenter, non-inferiority, randomized trial, we randomly assigned 992 women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) with a good prognosis (aged 20-40, ≥3 transferrable cleavage-stage embryos) to strategies of blastocyst-stage (n …

Abstract Background: N6-methyladenosine(m6A) modification regulates the processes of RNA splicing, subcellular localization, translation and stability by changing the RNA structure and the interaction between RNA and RNA-binding proteins to…

The objectives of this study are to examine the disparities in serum and intestinal tissue metabolites between a perimenopausal rat model and control rats and to analyze the diversity and functionality of intestinal microorganisms to determ…

Abnormal trophoblast self-renewal and differentiation during early gestation is the major cause of miscarriage, yet the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we show that trophoblast specific deletion of Kat8, a MYST family…

BackgroundOur previous studies have shown that lipoxin A4 (LXA4) can serve as a potential biomarker for assessing the efficacy of exercise therapy in knee osteoarthritis (KOA), and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) may play a crucial role…

Lymphatic vessels, comprising the secondary circulatory system in human body, play a multifaceted role in maintaining homeostasis among various tissues and organs. They are tasked with a serious of responsibilities, including the regulation…

PurposeThe significant global burden of endometrial cancer (EC) and the challenges associated with predicting EC recurrence indicate the need for a dynamic prediction model. This study aimed to propose nomograms based on clinicopathological…

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 …

Our work uses a polarization matrix formalism to analyze and algorithmically represent optical anisotropy by open dehydration of blood plasma films. Analytical relations for Jones matrix reconstruction of optical birefringence maps of prote…

Ovarian cancer (OC), known for its lethality and resistance to chemotherapy, is closely associated with iron metabolism and ferroptosis-an iron-dependent cell death process, distinct from both autophagy and apoptosis. Emerging evidence sugg…
