Chemical modifications of RNA add a dynamic regulatory layer to gene expression beyond the genome and epigenome. Among these modifications, 5-methylcytidine (m5C) has emerged as a key epitranscriptomic modification that influences RNA stabi…

BACKGROUND: Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is a common cause of chronic constipation which can reciprocally exacerbate pelvic floor burden. However, the characteristics and evolution of pelvic floor structures in patients with constipation …

Endometriosis is a common, estrogen-driven chronic gynecologic disorder defined by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue within the peritoneal cavity. Existing treatment options, primarily surgery and hormonal therapy, are limited b…

Despite ongoing challenges in developing effective non-surgical and non-hormonal treatments for endometriosis, the psychological manifestations of the disease-particularly anxiety-remain comparatively underexplored. In this study, a hydroge…

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Pancreatitis is influenced by environmental and genetic factors. Genome-wide association studies identified polymorphisms at the X-linked CLDN2 locus as risk factors for chronic pancreatitis. CLDN2 encodes claudin-2 (CLDN…

BACKGROUND: Varicocele represents the most prevalent amendable factor contributing to male infertility. Despite this, considerable debate continues concerning the effectiveness of surgical intervention, especially in terms of enhancing preg…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the predictive value of deep myometrial invasion (DMI) for lymph node metastasis (LNM) in low-grade endometrioid carcinoma (LGEC) and its implications for surgical decision-making. METHODS: A retrospective cohort stu…

PURPOSE: This study aimed to identify adolescent-specific risk factors for endometriosis onset and postoperative recurrence to facilitate early identification and risk stratification. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective study analyzed ad…

BACKGROUND: Although the cardiometabolic index (CMI) has gained recognition as a new tool for evaluating metabolic health, the relationship between CMI and cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains unclear. This research sought to explore the po…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of relugolix combination therapy in women with uterine fibroids (UFs) and concomitant ultrasound-diagnosed adenomyosis. DESIGN: This post hoc analysis used pooled data from completers of the pivotal LIBERTY…

BACKGROUND: GnRH-a is commonly used in the luteal phase for pituitary down-regulation during in-vitro fertilization (IVF). There is an ineluctable risk of spontaneous pregnancy for infertile couples who lack the use of contraception during …

Ovarian cancer is the second most common gynecologic malignancy in the United States, with high mortality due to delayed diagnosis. Serum CA-125 is widely used for screening and monitoring but lacks sensitivity and specificity in some cases…

Inflammatory diseases, including autoimmune, infectious, and metabolic disorders, remain major global health challenges due to their complex pathogenesis and limited therapeutic options. In recent years, bioinspired nanotechnology has emerg…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) and adenomyosis (AD) are prevalent gynecological disorders with overlapping symptoms but potentially distinct pathophysiology. This study was to understand different gene expression patterns of eutopic endome…

BACKGROUND: The comorbidity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease, with cervical cancer has garnered a lot of attention. Cervical cancer is much more common in RA patients than in the general population, which may be ca…

Abstract Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma and to explore the prognostic-related risk factors.Methods We retrospectively analyzed 102 patients diagnosed with ovarian clear cell …

BACKGROUND: Piriformis muscle mass is rare, which is particular for intrapiriformis lipoma. Thus far, only 11 cases of piriformis muscle mass have been reported in the English literature. Herein, we encountered one patient with intrapirifor…

BACKGROUND: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a complication of pregnancy associated with numerous adverse outcomes. There may be a potential link between GDM and arsenic (As) exposure, but this hypothesis remains controversial. This m…

PURPOSE: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HiPorfin-photodynamic therapy (PDT) in women with vaginal high-grade squamous intraepithelial Lesion (HSIL). METHODS: Retrospective analysis of eighteen patients with vaginal HSIL re…

INTRODUCTION: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common gynecological condition affecting individuals of reproductive age and is linked to the gut microbiome. This study aimed to identify the hotspots and research trends within the domai…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the active substances and targets of Danbie Capsules in Endometriosis therapy. METHODS: This study was conducted through TCMSP and published literature screened and obtained 183 active substances of Danbie Capsules, c…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a major cause of infertility, but the pathogenesis and mechanisms are not yet fully elucidated. MiR-19b-3p is involved in many diseases, but its functional role in EM-associated infertility remains unexplor…

BACKGROUND: The reportedly high mutation rate of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) may be attributed to the absence of histone protection and complete repair mechanisms. Mitochondrial heteroplasmy refers to the coexistence of wild-type and mutant m…
