BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer (OC) has the worst prognosis and highest death rate of all gynaecological cancers in the USA. We examined the independent effects of individual-, neighbourhood-, and state-level factors on ovarian cancer incidence…
Fibrosis, marked by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation, underlies functional decline in numerous diseases and often presents with sex-specific differences in severity. Although biochemical pathways have been widely studied, t…
BACKGROUND: The role of estrogen in liver cancer cells has attracted attention, but its specific actions and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. METHODS: Flow CytoMetry and Western blotting were used to investigate the mechanism of HOXA1…
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder in which immune cells, specifically macrophages, play a pivotal yet incompletely understood role. Aberrations within the eutopic endometrium are implicated in the initiation and progression o…
BACKGROUND: Accurate early diagnosis of ovarian cancer is crucial. The objective of this research is to create a comprehensive model that merges clinical variables, O-RADS, and deep learning radiomics to support preoperative diagnosis and a…
This study aimed to elucidate the role of microRNA-92a-3p (miR-92a-3p) in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis. We examined how miR-92a-3p, found in exosomes derived from ectopic lesions, influences the behaviour of endometrial cells, dorsal roo…
Endometriosis, a persistent inflammatory disease, is associated with pelvic or abdominal pain. The immune system and sensory nervous system show a synergistic effect on regulation of pain. In particular, Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is released a…
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) facilitate intercellular communication and the conveyance of bioactive substances, including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. They play a significant role in various reproductive biological processes, includ…
Formononetin (FMN) is a common natural metabolite that can be extracted and isolated from some common botanical drugs. In recent years, FMN has garnered increasing attention due to its beneficial biological activities. In this paper, we sys…
Diseases of the female reproductive system are prevalent. These conditions often have a high proportion of asymptomatic patients and prolonged treatment durations. Estrogen, a crucial steroid hormone, plays a central role in most diseases o…
Ectopic pancreas (EP) is most commonly located in the upper gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the stomach. Malignant transformation of EP is exceptionally rare, and due to its very low incidence, the response to drug therapy and overa…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is highly prevalent but remains under-researched. This study, using the latest data, aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the burden of endometriosis on a global scale. METHODS: Based on data from the Glo…
Macrophages, as the predominant phagocytes, play an essential role in pathogens defense and tissue homeostasis maintenance. In the context of cancer, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have evolved into cunning actors involved in angiogene…
PURPOSE: In China, the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection among infertile couples is a significant clinical problem. It is necessary to determine the effect of HBV infection on embryo development. METHODS: The 4301 fresh cycle…
Atherosclerosis is a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases, causing significant morbidity and mortality. This review article examines the role of lactate and lactylation in atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease closely linked t…
Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic disease that can cause pain and infertility in patients. As is well known, immune cell infiltrations (ICIs) play important roles in the pathogenesis of EM. However, the pathogenesis and biomarkers of EM that …
BACKGROUND: Ferroptosis and cuproptosis are closely associated with hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI). However, the significance of metabolic cell death-related genes (MRGs) in HIRI still awaits exploration. This study examined the…
Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is currently difficult to prevent and treat due to a lack of comprehensive understanding of its molecular mechanisms. The aim of this study was to identify genes potentially involved in the pathogenesis of RM and …
AIM: To investigate the risk factors associated with postpartum urinary retention after cesarean section (CS) and to determine the associated morbidity rate. METHODS: This study was a population-based retrospective case-control study analy…
Ovarian cancer (OC) remains one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies, largely due to its late-stage diagnosis and high recurrence rates. Chronic inflammation is a critical driver of OC progression, contributing to immune evasion, t…
BACKGROUND: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) currently lacks highly specific biomarkers for clinical screening. This study aimed to identify and validate novel auxiliary diagnostic markers for EOC. METHODS: Through integrated analysis of tr…
Endometriosis (EMs) and recurrent miscarriage (RM) represent major reproductive health challenges. This study investigates the involvement of endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) in these conditions through integrative bioinformatics …
BACKGROUND: Oil-based contrast medium in hysterosalpingography has been recommended as an approach to improve fertility in recent years. However, this approach has rarely been applied to patients with unknown recurrent implantation failure …
UNLABELLED: Lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A (KDM1A) has emerged as an attractive therapeutic target for treating various cancers, owing to its observed overexpression. However, its function in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains …
INTRODUCTION: Cisplatin resistance is a major challenge in ovarian cancer therapy, particularly for high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). DNA topoisomerase IIα (TOP2A) relates to cancer drug resistance, yet its role and molecular mechan…
