According to a 2019 report from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was listed as one of the "serious threats" that had become a global public challenge in hospitals and co…

BACKGROUND: Uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) is the third most common gynecologic malignancy. Fatty acid metabolism (FAM) is an essential metabolic process in the immune microenvironment that occurs reprogramming in the presence …

Endometriosis (EMs) occurs in approximately 50% of women with infertility. The main causes of EMs-related infertility are follicle dysplasia and reduced oocyte quality. Iron overload occurs in ovarian follicular fluid (FF) of patients with …

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…

Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a challenge in the field of reproductive medicine, but mechanisms for its occurrence remain still unclear. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been found to play a vital role in many different disease…

LncRNAs are involved in the pathophysiologic processes of multiple diseases, but little is known about their functions in hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (HIRI). As a novel lncRNA, the pathogenetic significance of hepatic nuclear factor…

OBJECTIVE: In the LIBERTY 1 and LIBERTY 2 placebo-controlled trials, once-daily relugolix combination therapy reduced menstrual blood loss volume and pain in women with heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine leiomyomas and was wel…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of serum luteinizing hormone (LH) levels on the day of initiation of controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) after pituitary suppression on early pregnancy loss and assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcome…

OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of a modified gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol based on luteinizing hormone (LH) levels through one complete assisted reproductive technology (ART) c…

BACKGROUND: Osteogenic differentiation of aortic valve interstitial cells (AVICs) plays a key role in the calcific aortic valve disease progression. Extracellular vesicles (EVs)-derived from M1-polarized macrophages (M1-EVs) orchestrated in…

Endometriosis is defined as the development of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. Pathophysiology of this disease includes abnormal hormone profiles, cell survival, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, oxidative stress,…

In order to investigate the metabolic characteristics of human follicular fluid (FF) and to reveal potential metabolic predictors of follicular development (FD) with clinical implications, we analyzed a total of 452 samples based on a two-s…

BACKGROUND: More than 70% of leiomyomas (LM) harbor MED12 mutations, primarily in exon 2 at c.130-131(GG). The cause of MED12 mutations in myometrial cells remains largely unknown. We hypothesized that increased ROS promotes MED12 mutations…

Chemoresistance is the leading cause of poor prognosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC); however, promising biomarkers to identify patients for stratified chemotherapy are lacking. Sideroflexin 3 (SFXN3) is an important mitoc…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common cause of pelvic pain in women, for which current treatment options are suboptimal. Relugolix, an oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor antagonist, combined with estradiol and a progestin, was eva…

Surgical management for cervical malformation remains as the main therapeutic challenge for gynecologists. A theoretical alternative is to generate a bioengineered uterus cervix, which requires scaffold structure and appropriate cellular co…

Objective: To determine whether stage 1 hypertension and elevated blood pressure (BP), as defined by the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines, prior to pregnancy contributes to adverse pregnanc…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacies of three cycle regimens in women receiving frozen embryo transfer with a history of cesarean section: natural cycle treatment, hormone replacement therapy and treatment with gonadotropin-releasing ho…

Endometrial decidualization plays a pivotal role during early pregnancy. Compromised decidualization has been tightly associated with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). Primary cilium is an antenna-like sensory organelle and acts as a si…

As a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer (PG) has preventive and therapeutic effects on various diseases. Ginsenosides are main active ingredients of PG and have good pharmacological effects. Due to the diversity …

BACKGROUND: Despite a large number of studies on the selection of trigger drugs, it remains unclear whether the dual trigger with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist, compared to the trigger …

Single-cell omics is the profiling of individual cells through sequencing and other technologies including high-throughput analysis for single-cell resolution, cell classification, and identification as well as time series analyses. Unlike …

BACKGROUND: Uterine adenomyosis is associated with chronic pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, and infertility. The pathogenesis of adenomyosis is still unclear. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been implicated in several benign diseases a…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a benign disease with the characteristics of invasion and migration, and its pathogenesis is related to hypoxia. The abnormal activation of glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 (GLI1) plays an important role in the me…

Background: Endometriosis (EMS), a typical endocrine immune disorder, associates with dramatically increased estrogen production and disorganized immune response in ectopic focus. Peritoneal regulatory T cells (Tregs) expansion in women wit…
