Endometriosis (EMs) is a common inflammatory disorder in women of reproductive age, severely impacting patients' quality of life and fertility. Current hormonal therapies offer limited efficacy, and surgical interventions often fail to prev…

BACKGROUND: Our purpose is to explore the influence of Hua Yu Xiao Zheng (HYXZ) decoction on the senescence of ectopic endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) in endometriosis as well as its relevant mechanisms. METHODS: The proliferation, apopto…

BACKGROUND: The prognosis of patients with gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis (GCPM) is exceedingly poor. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with paclitaxel combined with…

INTRODUCTION: Effective ovarian stimulation and luteal phase support (LPS) are key factors for the success of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) The present multicenter randomized trial evaluates whether adding Gushen Antai…

Abstract Delayed diagnosis of endometriosis (EM) can significantly hinder treatment options and patient prognosis, adversely affecting fertility and increasing the risk of malignancy. Current diagnostic methods are invasive. In our study, …

BACKGROUND: Intra-abdominal hemorrhage (IAH) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of ultrasound-guided transvanginal oocyte pick up (OPU). Despite the widespread use of OPU in assisted reproductive technology, minor hemor…

To explore and validate active components in the Yijing Decoction formula that exert therapeutic effects on targets associated with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and to identify the underlying mechanisms of action. A rat model of PO…

Ovarian cancer represents a malignancy characterized by high incidence and mortality rates, necessitating further elucidation of its underlying mechanisms. We conducted an analysis using bulk transcriptomic data of ovarian cancer and normal…

Accurate identification of the endometrial region is critical for the early detection of endometrial lesions. However, current detection models still face two major challenges when processing endometrial imaging data: (1) In complex and noi…

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) affect the biological functions of granulosa cells (GCs) through multiple mechanisms, including epigenetic regulation, transcriptional regulation, post-translational modification, and cell signaling. Our previ…

INTRODUCTION: Ovarian cancer significantly contributes to cancer-related deaths among women. Resistance to anchorage-dependent cell death (anoikis) plays a vital role in facilitating metastasis and worsening patient prognosis. Recent develo…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent gynecologic endocrine disorder characterized by menstrual irregularities, elevated androgen levels, and ovulatory dysfunction. Its etiology is multifactorial. Emerging evidence indicates that …

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a life-threatening inflammatory condition triggered by the premature activation of trypsin. The limited understanding of its underlying pathophysiology remains a key obstacle to the development of targeted therapi…

This research aimed to determine the predictive value of a combined diagnosis of serum platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) and placental growth factor (PLGF) levels, gut microbiota count, and uterine artery Doppler ultra…

STUDY QUESTION: Can third-generation sequencing (TGS)-based polar body (PB) analysis serve as a viable alternative to conventional trophectoderm (TE) biopsy for preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A)? SUMMARY ANSWER: This s…

BACKGROUND: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an agnogenic chronic intestinal inflammatory disease. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell (UMSC) is a potential therapeutic approach against UC; however, the mechanisms underlying their effica…

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the therapeutic effects of Tripterygium wilfordii glycosides on endometriosis (EMs) and their effects on serum sex hormone levels, tumour markers, and inflammatory factors (serum CA125, CA199, Estradiol, FSH, IL-6, T…

Metal ions-based regulated cell death (RCD), a form of cell death involving metal ions and controlled by one or more cascade signaling pathways, has recently been termed "metalloptosis". Given the rapid advances in understanding metalloptos…

Cardiac fibrosis contributes to adverse cardiac remodeling and loss of heart function eventually leading to heart failure (HF). Resident cardiac fibroblasts are the principal source of myofibroblasts that produce extracellular matrix protei…

BACKGROUND: Panax ginseng Meyer is a well-known herb in traditional Chinese medicine, with ginsenosides being its primary bioactive components. Among these, 20(S)-protopanaxadiol (20(S)-PPD) has demonstrated anti-tumor effects in various ca…

PURPOSE: The aim was to investigate the value of the application of a progesterone-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol in patients with ovarian endometriosis (OEM) combined with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). MATERIALS AND METHOD…

BACKGROUND: To investigate the combined effect of transperineal ultrasound and Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) in the evaluation and monitoring of pelvic floor functions after total hysterectomy. METHODS: Fifty-two women who planned to under…

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a complex disease involving multiple systems throughout the body with unknown pathogenesis and is characterized by chronic fatigue. To date, no effective treatment for CFS has been found, as well as biomark…

BACKGROUND: Despite proposed mechanisms hypotheses, the etiology of adenomyosis remains unclear. The limited efficacy of current therapeutic approaches may stem from insufficient understanding of its pathobiological underpinnings and the pr…

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the association between seasonal temperature variations and clinical outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF), aiming to provide theoretical foundations for optimizing protocol timing in reproductive medicine. METHO…
