Chronic pain remains a major clinical challenge, creating a need for safe, non-pharmacological interventions. This narrative mini-review examines two light-based approaches that differ in their sites of action and treatment parameters: visu…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is characterized by pain symptoms that seriously affect patients' quality of life. Gut microbiome-related metabolites (GMRM) play an important role in the process of EMS. However, the role of GMRM in endometr…

BACKGROUND: The single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) achieves a scarless appearance through a single umbilical approach. However, the restricted surgical field of view, frequent instrument collisions limit its clinical applic…

BACKGROUND: Endometrial receptivity (ER) serves as a critical determinant for successful embryo implantation, yet its molecular complexity and limited clinical assessment methods pose significant challenges. Despite advancements in assisted…

Gastric metastasis from breast cancer (GMBC) is a rare but diagnostically challenging condition, whose clinical and imaging features often mimic primary gastric cancer or treatment-related adverse effects. This study integrates a detailed c…

PURPOSE: To identify more reliable tools for embryo selection, this study aimed to investigate whether embryonic kinetic parameters and metabolomic profiling of spent culture medium on D3 can predict subsequent blastocyst development and ch…

UNLABELLED: This study aimed to discover key genes associated with the in-vitro-fertilization embryo transfer (IVF‑ET) outcomes and develop new prediction models, as well as potential drugs. We enrolled the following infertile women who rec…

BACKGROUND: Steroid hormone-driven endometrial decidualization involves the differentiation of endometrial stromal cells into decidual cells, which form the decidua for blastocyst implantation. This process is a prerequisite for successful …

Organoids are three-dimensional multicellular structures derived from stem cells or primary tissues that recapitulate key structural and functional features of native organs. Advances in stem cell biology, biomaterials, and bioengineering h…

BACKGROUND: Vitamin D deficiency is a global public health concern, and women of reproductive age represent a particularly vulnerable population. Accurate measurement of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is therefore essential for reliabl…

Ferroptosis, characterized by lipid peroxidation and iron-dependent oxidative damage, is a crucial factor in various diseases. Although researchers have extensively characterized ferroptosis in cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, its in…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian and endometrial cancers together account for nearly 10% of all female cancer-related deaths worldwide, with ovarian cancer being the deadliest gynecologic malignancy. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of ge…

Uterine leiomyomas, or fibroids, are the most common benign tumors in women. Despite this, the patient and healthcare burdens are immense. Symptoms include heavy and irregular bleeding, anemia, and impacts on fertility. Treatment options ar…

Pregnant women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) have an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), potentially linked to altered immune regulation, but the underlying circulating immune features remain unclear. …

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) exacerbated by obesity represents a complex intersection of endocrine and immune dysregulation, significantly impairing reproductive and metabolic health. This characterizes the immune-inflammatory landscape…

BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) commonly experience postoperative pain and are at relatively high risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Tegileridine is a recently developed biased μ-opioid r…

Filamentous fungi exhibit high heavy metal resistance; elucidating their resistance mechanisms is of practical importance for fungal utilization and for engineering other microorganisms. However, the molecular basis of copper tolerance in f…

Cancer can educate platelets by altering transcriptome profiles. However, the exact education mechanism remains unclear, and the variability of tumor-educated platelet (TEP) transcriptome has not been investigated. In this study, we aimed t…

This study aimed to investigate the pathogenic mechanisms of jaw cysts by screening for differentially expressed proteins in the tissues of patients with jaw cysts using proteomic techniques. Tissue samples were collected from 4 patients wi…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common reproductive disorders in women and severely impairs fertility. Extant clinical studies can only provide indirect and plausible evidence to support endometrial dysfunction as an ova…

β-Glucuronidase (β-G, EC 3.2.1.31) reverses phase II glucuronidation, and microbial β-G at the gut-liver interface reactivates biliary and circulating conjugates, closing enterohepatic loops for drugs, estrogens, bile acids, and bilirubin. …

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To explore the associations between adenomyosis patterns on transvaginal sonography (TVS) and surgical outcomes. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Beijing, China. PATIE…
