Apoptotic cells release a highly heterogeneous population of extracellular vesicles, which can be categorized into apoptotic bodies, apoptotic microvesicles, and apoptotic exosomes. These apoptotic vesicles (apoVs) not only inherit material…

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants with potential reproductive toxicity, yet their profiles in follicular fluid and impacts on human fertility remain unclear. Given the importance of diet as…

Emerging evidence implicates per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in adverse alterations to the follicular microenvironment, yet their potential contribution to diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) remains poorly characterized. This study…

BACKGROUND: An increasing number of studies have reported noteworthy health risks associated with dermal exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from feminine hygiene products (FHPs). OBJECTIVES: This study sought to address the gap …

BACKGROUND: The aetiology and pathogenesis of adenomyosis remain unclear. This study utilised untargeted metabolomics to explore the aberrant amino acid metabolism in adenomyosis. Among the studied metabolites, hydroxyproline is known to pr…

INTRODUCTION: Animal reproduction is a highly complex process influenced by numerous factors, and previous study has suggested that Hungatella hathewayi (HH) may have potential benefits for swine reproduction. Building on these findings, th…

BACKGROUND: Cancer immunotherapy has emerged as a groundbreaking approach in cancer treatment, primarily realized through the manipulation of immune cells, notably T cell adoption and immune checkpoint blockade. Nevertheless, the manipulati…

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles of nanoscale, which represent the characteristics of the cells of origin. Tumor cell-derived exosomes (TEXs) obtain the characteristics of the tumor cells, which meanwhile transfer the various substances …

Trained immunity induced by β-glucan insult drives the functional reprogramming of macrophages to the hyperinflammatory status, contributing to developing or maintaining inflammatory diseases. Inflammatory arthritis is characterized by an i…

OBJECTIVE: This trial was to investigate the effect of different treatment methods on the clinical efficacy and fertility outcome of patients with adenomyosis. METHODS: In total, 140 patients with adenomyosis were evenly and randomly alloc…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a commonly observed benign gynecological disease that affects the quality of life and social psychology of women of childbearing age. However, because of the unknown etiology and incidence of adenomyosis, its path…

RATIONALE: Malignant mixed Mullerian tumor (MMMT) is also known as carcinosarcoma, mostly occurring in the uterus, and occurred in ovary is very rare. The disease is highly aggressive. Two cases of MMMT of ovary and their imaging characteri…

STUDY QUESTION: Does cancer itself, before any gonadotoxic treatment, affect ovarian function in reproductive-aged patients? SUMMARY ANSWER: Our study revealed that women with cancer may have decreased ovarian reserve markers even before c…

Abstract Background Adenomyosis is a commonly observed benign gynecological disease that affects the quality of life and social psychology of women of childbearing age. However, because of the unknown etiology and incidence of adenomyosis…

BACKGROUND: The association between body mass index (BMI) and IVF cycle outcomes remain inconclusive. In addition, the impact of BMI on perinatal outcomes has been less well-studied. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of BMI on…

Intrauterine adhesions (IUA), characterized by endometrial fibrosis, is a common cause of uterine infertility. We previously demonstrated that partial epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the loss of epithelial homeostasis play a vit…

OBJECTIVE: Our previous work found COX4I2 was associated with angiogenesis in pheochromocytoma. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of COX4I2 in regulating angiogenesis in pheochromocytoma. METHODS: Distribution of COX4I2 was…

BACKGROUND: It has been demonstrated that a thin endometrium is associated with a lower chance of pregnancy, but there is a paucity of research into whether a thin endometrium adversely affects perinatal outcomes. METHODS: This was a retro…

Emerging evidence suggests that children conceived through assisted reproductive technology (ART) have a higher risk of congenital heart defects (CHDs) even when there is no family history. De novo mutation (DNM) is a well-known cause of sp…

The high rate of SARS-CoV-2 infection poses a serious threat to public health. Previous studies have suggested that SARS-CoV-2 can infect human ovary, the core organ of the female reproductive system. However, it remains unclear which type …

BACKGROUND: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is a prodrug of a nucleotide analogue. As an antiviral drug, TDF has been proposed in the first-line treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Qingzhong, a brand name of TDF, commercialized by J…

MethodsAP was induced in Balb/C mice by ten hourly intraperitoneal injections of caerulein (100 μg/kg) and LPS (5 mg/kg). The MMP inhibitor, BB-94 (20 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally administered 30 min before AP induction. Pancreatitis was co…

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Macrophage infiltration and activation is a critical step during acute pancreatitis (AP). We have shown that pancreas-specific D2 receptor signalling protects against AP severity. As it is unclear to what extent myel…

Human urine is traditionally considered to be sterile, and whether the urine harbours distinct microbial communities has been a matter of debate. Potential links between female urine and reproductive tract microbial communities is currently…

Objective: The surgical approach, hemostatic approach, histologic findings, and cyst size and location may have a role in reducing the ovarian reserve. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of single-port laparoscopic cystecto…
