The human gastrointestinal (gut) microbiome plays a critical role in maintaining host health and has been increasingly recognized as an important factor in precision medicine. High-throughput sequencing technologies have revolutionized -omi…
PurposeMultiple regional nerve blocks proved no additional benefit in total laparoscopic hysterectomy in multimodal analgesia, as postoperative pain may mainly originate from the vaginal cuff. Theoretically, caudal block can relieve pain fr…
Research questionWhat patient populations and outcomes are depicted on IVF videos on the short-form video-sharing application 'TikTok'?DesignThis cross-sectional study investigated the 100 most-viewed videos utilizing the #IVF hashtag on Ti…
To evaluate the role of serum human epididymis secretory protein 4 (HE4) and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) levels for predicting and monitoring the recurrence of endometrial endometrioid carcinoma (EEC) and assessing preoperative risk st…
BackgroundTo develop an ultrasound scoring system for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), evaluate its diagnostic value, and provide a practical approach to prenatal diagnosis of PAS.MethodsA total of 532 pregnant women (n = 184 no PAS, n = 12…
ObjectivesAs the cesarean section rate increases year by year, the treatment of previous cesarean scar defects (PCSD) poses a significant challenge. This study aims to evaluate the clinical value of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (…
BackgroundNeuroimaging studies have confirmed that functional connectivity (FC) disruption of pain-related brain networks may contribute to the cerebral pathophysiology of primary dysmenorrhea (PDM). However, it remains unclear whether FC o…
Dairy cows often develop different degrees of endometritis after calving and this is attributed to pathogenic bacterial infections such as by Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Infection of the bovine endometrium causes tissue dama…
BackgroundRecent studies have identified ribonucleotide reductase subunit M2 (RRM2) as a putative promoter of tumors. However, no systematic analysis of its carcinogenicity has been conducted.MethodsThe potential functions of RRM2 in variou…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is a relapsing and estrogen-dependent disease. For endometriosis such as deep endometriosis and ovarian endometrioid cysts, surgery is the most effective treatment. Long-term follow-up showed that the recurre…
The diagnosis and treatment of unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) are subject to debate, because the exact underlying mechanisms remain unclear. To address this issue, we elucidated the expression profiles of dysregulated cir…
BackgroundTraditional approaches to drug development are costly and involve high risks. The drug repurposing approach can be a valuable alternative to traditional approaches and has therefore received considerable attention in recent years.…
IntroductionThe prevalence of diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), a common gynaecological disorder, is approximately 10% across the world. Failure in early diagnosis and treatment may result in continuous decreases in ovarian function and the…
IntroductionHydrometra is a common gynecological disease, especially in postmenopausal women. However, its epidemiology, harmfulness, and value in predicting gynecological tumors have not been clearly elucidated.MethodsIn this study, the pr…
BackgroundA comprehensive clinical strategy for infertility involves treatment and, more importantly, post-treatment evaluation. As a component of assessment, endometrial receptivity does not have a validated tool. This study was anchored o…
Ferroptosis, a new way of cell death, is involved in many cancers. A growing number of studies have focused on the unique role of ferroptosis on endometrial cancer. In this study, we made a comprehensive review of the relevant articles publ…
BackgroundA receptive endometrium is a prerequisite for successful embryo implantation. Mounting evidence shows that nearly one-third of infertility and implantation failures are caused by defective endometrial receptivity. This study poole…
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…
Abnormal gene expression caused by epigenetic changes, including DNA methylation, is associated with the development and progression of endometriosis. Grainyhead-like 2 gene (GRHL2), a suppressor of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, has be…
BACKGROUND: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a complex event that drives polar epithelial cells transform from adherent cells to motile mesenchymal cells, in which are involved immune cells and stroma cells. EMT plays crucial role…
BackgroundWith the implementation of the two-child policy in China, more couples have expressed the desire to have another child. We conducted this study to evaluate the incidence of infertility and risk factors in couples intending to have…
The vagina contains at least a billion microbial cells, dominated by lactobacilli. Here we perform metagenomic shotgun sequencing on cervical and fecal samples from a cohort of 516 Chinese women of reproductive age, as well as cervical, fec…
Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), distress in the pelvis, infertile, and stressed feelings are all indications of fibroids in the uterus, the most prevalent type of benign uterine tumor. Nearly one-third of women with fibroid in the uterus se…
The establishment of pregnancy in human necessitates appropriate decidualization of stromal cells, which involves steroids regulated periodic transformation of endometrial stromal cells during the menstrual cycle. However, the potential mol…
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disorder with significant hospital admission and mortality. Due to the unclarified pathological mechanism, there is still no effective and specific treatment for AP. Recently, autophagy has been found to …
