OBJECTIVE: Bromocriptine has emerged as a potential treatment for adenomyosis. This study aimed to identify genes associated with Bromocriptine sensitivity and explore the biological processes and cell-type-specific expression patterns invo…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide. Although elemental components of refluxed menstrual blood have been implicated in disease progression, comprehensive ionomic profiling of the endome…

This Correspondence is a formal response to the Comment by Dr. Machado regarding our publication "Creatine Promotes Endometriosis by Inducing Ferroptosis Resistance via Suppression of PrP." We address several conceptual concerns raised in t…

Endometriosis (EM) is driven by immune dysregulation and macrophage dysfunction, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, metabolomic profiling revealed excessive itaconate accumulation in EM lesions, primarily due to elevated ci…

INTRODUCTION: Studies indicate that endometriosis (EMs) is associated with inflammation and metabolic abnormalities. The Remnant Cholesterol Inflammatory Index (RCII) concurrently reflects both inflammatory and metabolic status. However, th…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) exhibits localised iron overload. However, the contribution of ferroptosis to EM pathogenesis remains unclear. We investigated how iron overload affects CD8⁺ T cell immune function and the underlying ferroptot…

BACKGROUND: As women age, their ovarian follicle pool naturally declines. However, female germline stem cells (FGSCs) possess a unique ability to differentiate into oocytes and continuously self-renew, providing an effective means of delayi…

Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory disease, significantly impairs the quality of life of women in their reproductive years; however, its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. The accumulation of retrograde menstruation and recurrent bl…

Observational studies have previously reported an association between depression and certain female reproductive disorders. However, the causal relationships between depression and different types of female reproductive disorders remain unc…

Abstract Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic gynecological disorder that affects 5–10% of women of reproductive age, and Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is one of the most prevalent systemic autoimmune diseases. Despite clinical evidence su…

Previous observational studies have suggested that anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and reproductive factors are linked to reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and an increased risk of osteoporosis (OP) in women. However, related studies are limi…

BACKGROUND: Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) and gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) share similar imaging and serological profiles, posing significant challenges in accurate preoperative diagnosis. This study aimed to identify reliable indi…

Abstract Objective Endometriosis lacks effective early intervention and treatment. Our objective is to explore potential protein drug targets in serum for endometriosis and different subtypes of endometriosis, using Mendelian randomization …

BACKGROUND: Chronic low-grade inflammation and ovarian germline stem cells (OGSCs) aging are important reasons for the decline of ovarian reserve function, resulting in ovarian aging and infertility. Regulation of chronic inflammation is ex…

Endometriosis, an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the growth of endometrium-like tissues outside the uterine cavity, affects 10% of reproductive-age women. Although the pathogenesis of endometriosis is uncer…

OBJECTIVES: To establish visualised prediction models of low fertilisation rate (LFR) and total fertilisation failure (TFF) for patients in conventional in vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycles. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study. SETTING: D…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the frequencies of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in Chinese Hakka patients with ovarian cancer. METHODS: The protein coding regions and exon intron boundary regions of the BRCA gene were sequenced using genomic DNA is…

BACKGROUND: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common pathological type of thyroid cancer. The effect of traditional anti-tumor therapy is not ideal for the patients with recurrence, metastasis and radioiodine resistance. The abn…

BACKGROUND: Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) occurs during menstrual cramps, and there is currently no pathological evidence. This disease severely affects the daily lives of young women. Acupuncture (ACU) and moxibustion are an excellent way to r…

BACKGROUND: Wnt signaling is an evolutionarily conserved developmental pathway that is frequently hyperactivated in cancer. While multiple protein-coding genes regulated by Wnt signaling are known, the functional lncRNAs regulated by Wnt si…

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the functional role of microRNA (miR)-19b in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and try to elucidate its underlying mechanisms. Expression of miR‑19b and insulin‑like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)…

Aerobic glycolysis is essential for tumor growth and survival. Activation of multiple carcinogenic signals contributes to metabolism reprogramming during malignant transformation of cancer. Recently nitric oxide has been noted to promote gl…
