PURPOSE: To screen drug targets of ovarian aging from a genetic perspective. METHODS: Systematic analyses were conducted with cis-expression quantitative trait loci data of druggable genes extracted as instrument variables. Summary statist…
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…
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 …
High incidence of unexplained miscarriage (UM) limits global human reproduction. Lithium (Li) batteries are widely used but rarely recycled, causing Li to spread into environments and enter human body. Notably, the healthy effects of Li exp…
Atherosclerosis has an urgent need for new therapeutic targets. Protein kinases orchestrate multiple cellular events in atherosclerosis and may provide new therapeutic targets for atherosclerosis. Here, a protein kinase, WEE1 G2 checkpoint …
BACKGROUND: SUGT1 (Suppressor of the G2 allele of SKP1) and FH (fumarate hydratase) have recently garnered significant attention from the research community. SUGT1 functions as a molecular chaperone, regulating the stability and activity of…
Metformin, the most widely used anti-diabetic drug, has been demonstrated to exert various effects, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and cardioprotective properties. Due to its affordability and low toxicity profile, me…
Endometriosis (EMS), a chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately 10 % reproductive aged women, remains etiologically unclear. This study aims to investigate the role and underlying mechanisms of frizzled class receptor 7 (FZD7) i…
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas accompanied with intestinal injury, and effective therapeutic modalities are still highly lacking. Herein, a facile and effective nanotherapeutics (pHA@IBNCs) is dev…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is characterized by the occurrence, growth, infiltration, and recurrent bleeding of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Recent studies have revealed a close association between Neutrophil Extracellular Tra…
Endometrial cysts of the ovary (EMC) may develop into endometriosis (EM)‑associated ovarian cancer over time (EAOC), but the pathogenesis of this disease has not been determined. In the present study, RNA sequencing was used to identify a f…
The postponement of childbearing age has become a global issue. Factors such as increased work pressures on women and environmental changes have led to a rising incidence and younger onset of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). POI not o…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to establish a risk prediction model of endometriosis in infertile women and verify the model. METHODS: A retrospective study was made of 140 infertile women hospitalized at Henan Provincial People's Hospital betw…
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the distribution of molecular signatures in endometriosis- associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) and to develop a prognostic model based on these molecular signatures. METHODS: We retrospectively analy…
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Guizhi Fuling Wan (GZFLW), a canonical herbal formulation originating from Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, has been widely utilized in managing pain-associated disorders. While its therapeutic efficacy in ade…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Multimorbidity is increasingly prevalent among the middle-aged population, yet it is largely often overlooked. We aimed to explore and compare the differences in multimorbidity patterns by sex and age among middle…
BACKGROUND: Multimorbidity substantially increases health and economic burdens, and reduces productivity in working-age individuals. We conducted a study using data from 393,170 working-age inpatients (18-59 years) in Shaanxi, China, collec…
Abstract The characteristic of endometriosis is that the endometrial tissue grows in non-endometrial parts such as the pelvis and ovaries, leading to infertility and chronic pain. However, its pathophysiology is still unclear. Using high-p…
OBJECTIVE: Intrauterine Adhesions (IUA), including Asherman's Syndrome, are a significant cause of female infertility, while stem cell interventions emerge as a promising therapeutic strategy. This meta-analysis aims to systematically evalu…
The progesterone receptor (PR) is a steroid-responsive nuclear receptor with two isoforms: PR-A and PR-B. Disruption of PR-A:PR-B signaling is associated with breast cancer through interactions with oncogenic co-regulatory proteins (CoRs). …
Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) has been confirmed to suppress inflammation in endometriosis (EMs). Herein, this study investigated whether and how TMP affected NLRP3 inflammasomes and oxidative stress in EMs. After establishment of an EMs rat mo…
Uterine injuries, particularly damages to endometrium, are usually associated with abnormal menstruation, recurrent miscarriage, pregnancy complications, and infertility. Tissue engineering using cell-based, biomolecule-based, or biomateria…
Adenomyosis is characterized by the infiltration of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium which affects about 35% women at reproductive age. Women affected by adenomyosis always experience issues such as defective decidualizatio…
PURPOSE: To explore the value of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation and laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) in the treatment of uterine fibroids. METHODS: One hundred and twenty patients with uterine fibroids admitted to our hospit…
