Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) represents a rare and aggressive subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer with distinctive clinical and molecular characteristics. However, the identification, origin, and molecular features of the malignant …
Fibrosis, marked by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation, underlies functional decline in numerous diseases and often presents with sex-specific differences in severity. Although biochemical pathways have been widely studied, t…
Epidemiological studies have reported gender disparities in asthma, suggesting female reproductive traits may play a role, though causality remains unclear. We used summary data from genome-wide association studies on 12 female reproductive…
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The objective was to investigate the expressions and significance of IGF-1, pAKT, pS6, and type I and type III collagens in uterosacral ligaments of patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). METHODS: A total o…
The female reproductive tract (FRT) serves as the core of human reproduction, and its health is directly related to population quantity and family happiness. The high incidence rate of female reproductive tract diseases globally poses a sev…
Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation, is closely associated with mitochondrial damage, diminished glutathione peroxidase 4 activity, dysfunction of the System Xc- cystine/glutamate antipor…
Ferroptosis, as an iron-dependent programmed cell death, plays a significant role in reproductive system diseases. It's involved in the pathological processes of various reproductive system diseases by affecting the survival status of germ …
Immune escape is a phenomenon in which tumor cells or infections evade detection and clearance by the host immune system in various ways. During an antitumor immune response, cells increase the concentration of pentameric stalk, which enhan…
OBJECTIVE: To analyse global prevalence data for infertility due to endometriosis from 1990 to 2021, emphasising health inequalities. DESIGN: Population-based study. SETTING: Data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database. POPULAT…
Thin endometrium (TE, ≤7 mm) is widely recognized as a critical cause of infertility, recurrent pregnancy losses, and placental abnormalities. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) plays a crucial role in tissue repair, …
BACKGROUND: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist and long-acting GnRH agonist regimens are commonly employed for ovarian stimulation in women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), but t…
Endometriosis (EM) is a non-cancerous disease that exhibits certain tumor-like properties. While hormonal therapies and surgical excision are standard treatments with proven efficacy in alleviating EM symptoms, they are often accompanied by…
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) significantly impacts patients' quality of life, and current treatment options remain limited due to high recurrence rates, making the exploration of new therapeutic targets essential. Using data from the FinnGen…
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…
Endometriosis is a common disease among women of childbearing age, and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), a response involved in regulating protein homeostasis, has been linked to its pathogenesis. To identify ERS-related hub genes, this s…
INTRODUCTION: Although advanced paternal age (APA) is increasingly scrutinized in reproductive medicine, its independent impact on embryo development and clinical outcomes remains contentious, particularly when controlling for maternal age …
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) intrauterine perfusion on endometrial receptivity and pregnancy outcomes in patients with implantation failure. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included p…
Data on health equity to inform societally relevant evidence based decisions and policy making are lacking in the research literature. Observational studies have the potential to provide data on health equity. Yet, guidance on how to report…
Abstract Background Postoperative fever (PF) and postoperative bloodstream infections (PBSIs) are common and severe complications following gynecological surgery, yet they receive less focus than surgical site infections. This study aime…
Advanced maternal age is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, the impact of changes in maternal physiology, biochemistry, vaginal microbiome, and its metabolites related to reproductive age on pregnancy outcomes is uncertain…
Chronic endometritis (CE) is a persistent inflammatory disorder of the endometrium, associated with infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and implantation failure. Diagnosis primarily depends on hysteroscopy and immunohistochemistry, while…
BACKGROUND: This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the impact of insulin resistance (IR) on clinical outcomes in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injectio…
Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder worldwide that significantly impairs the quality of life of patients and imposes a substantial economic burden. The limited efficacy and adverse effects of current pharmacological and surg…
Oral dysbiosis increases the risk of oral diseases and systemic diseases, with many related conditions overlapping with systemic diseases triggered by gut dysbiosis. Studies have shown that the oral cavity serves as an endogenous reservoir …
