Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an inflammatory disease of the intestine whose primary pathological presentation is the destruction of the intestinal epithelium. The intestinal epithelium, located between the lumen and lamina propria, t…
BackgroundThe achievement of a healthy live birth from a singleton pregnancy has become the primary objective of modern Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Consequently, the effective utilization of a single blastocyst is of paramount i…
As one part of the innate immune response to external stimuli, chronic inflammation increases the risk of various cancers, and tumor-promoting inflammation is considered one of the enabling characteristics of cancer development. Recently, t…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic disease characterized by unclear etiology, influenced by various genetic and environmental factors, with no definitive biomarkers available for early screening. Recent studies suggest that the abdominal micr…
PurposeTo explore the postoperative opioid-sparing effect and incidence of adverse events of different dosages of intraoperative esketamine administration in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery.Patients and methodsPatient…
One of the functions of organism cells is to maintain energy homeostasis to promote metabolism and adapt to the environment. The 3 major pathways of cellular energy metabolism are glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and oxidativ…
AbstractBackgroundThe potential modifiable factors influencing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have not been thoroughly documented. We aimed to systematically investigate the modifiable factors associated with IBS, while accounting for the i…
BackgroundThe impact of multiple substance use on the risk of pancreatitis remains underexplored.ObjectiveTo systematically review peer-reviewed observational studies assessing the association of multiple substance use with the risk of acut…
Pain management in chronic pancreatitis (CP) patients remains a major challenge, largely due to complex and refractory pain. Such pain detrimentally impacts patients by reducing quality of life, limiting daily activities, increasing psychol…
IntroductionThe aim of the study was to explore the impact of the clinical and embryological factors on the pregnancy outcome of FET cycle, while determining the applicability range for the primary predictor.MethodsA total of 4395 FET cycle…
BackgroundAlthough many studies have validated the diagnostic performance of Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data Systems ultrasound (O-RADS US), most have been observed by experienced sonologists, and relatively few by junior sonologists. T…
BackgroundThis study assessed the impact of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection on ovarian reserve in women.MethodsWe analyzed data from 38,861 infertile women undergoing their first in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment (2016-2022),…
IntroductionRecurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) represents a significant challenge in obstetrics and reproductive medicine. Causative factors in 40%-50% of RSA couples remain unknown, a condition termed unexplained recurrent spontaneous ab…
Endometriosis, a prevalent gynecological disorder marked by ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, demonstrates malignant tumor-like properties including aggressive adhesion and invasiveness. Emerging evidence implicates roundabout guid…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a hormone-dependent disease, which can usually be divided into peritoneal endometriosis (PEM), deep-infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and ovarian endometriosis (OEM). Although the three pathologic types are essen…
Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease, yet its complex etiology is not fully understood. Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) exposure disrupts human reproduction, but studies on mixed EDCs and endometriosis ris…
BackgroundAlcohol use is a major risk factor for pancreatitis and global mortality. Despite its impact, comprehensive analyses of the burden across regions and sociodemographic strata remain scarce. This study examines global trends (1990-2…
BackgroundSeveral studies have demonstrated that pre-treatment with long-acting Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone agonists (GnRHa) can significantly enhance the clinical pregnancy rate among recurrent implantation failure (RIF) patients. Inves…
Mitophagy is a catabolic mechanism that selectively degrades damaged mitochondria and precisely modulates mitochondrial content, thereby maintaining intracellular homeostasis under stress conditions. To date, most reviews on mitophagy have …
Over the last two decades, tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors (TNF-Is) have become standard therapies for chronic inflammatory disorders, with an ongoing expansion of indications and off-label applications [...].
The rapid accumulation of biomedical cohort data presents opportunities to explore disease mechanisms, risk factors, and prognostic markers. However, current research often has a narrow focus, limiting the exploration of risk factors and in…
AIMS: Endometriosis development is associated with peritoneal immune microenvironment abnormality; however, the specific mechanism is uncertain. We aimed to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of uterine cavity-derived exosome…
BACKGROUND Acute urinary retention (AUR) is relatively rare in non-pregnant women and is usually associated with lower urinary tract dysfunction, neurological issues, or pelvic organ compression. Adenomyosis is a common gynecologic conditio…
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Chikusetsusaponin IVa (CHS IVa) as a natural extract from the Panax japonicus (T.Nees) C.A.Mey (P. japonicus), can regulate the immune responses, such as anti-inflammation, which have been applied in treating…
ObjectivesEarly identification of sarcopenia in patients with chronic liver disease is crucial for patient management and prevention of severe complications. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of Ishii score, Strength, Assistance with Wal…
