Sterile and infection-associated inflammatory diseases are becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide. Conventional drug therapies often entail significant drawbacks, such as the risk of drug overdose, the development of drug resistance in p…

BackgroundsAdvanced ovarian cancer is frequently accompanied by extensive peritoneal metastasis, complicating surgical interventions. This study aims to explore the application of 3D reconstruction and 3D printing technology in the treatmen…

The sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) is a metric used to assess DNA fragmentation within sperm. During in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET), high sperm DFI can lead to a low fertilization rate, poor embryo development, early m…

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the main cause of anovulatory infertility in women of reproductive age, and low-grade chronic inflammation plays a key role in the occurrence and development of PCOS. However, obesity, as a like…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Does LncRNA BANCR promote the malignant transformation of endometriosis by activating the miR-612/CPNE3 pathway? DESIGN: The expression patterns of BANCR, miR-612 and CPNE3 in normal endometrium, eutopic endometrium from…

Ferroptosis is a novel type of iron-dependent programmed cell death characterised by intracellular iron overload, increased lipid peroxidation and abnormal accumulation of reactive oxygen species.It has been implicated in the progression of…

PurposeThe goal is to identify risk factors associated with receiving a blood transfusion during the perioperative period in patients who undergo total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) using a large-scale national database.MethodsIn this ret…

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the deadliest women's cancer and has a poor prognosis. Early detection is the key for improving survival (a 5-year survival rate in stage I/II is over 70% compared to that of 25% in stage III/IV) and can b…

PurposeTo analyze the level of growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) and bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) in follicle fluid (FF) and granulosa cells (GCs) derived from young patients with low prognosis for in vitro fertilization and e…

Environmental factors are the major contributor to the onset of immunological disorders such as ulcerative colitis. However, their identities remain unclear. Here, we discover that the amount of consumed L-Tryptophan (L-Trp), a ubiquitous d…

The underlying mechanism between the gut microbiota and reproductive function is not yet well-known. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of the administration of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from highly laying rate …

BackgroundIn the study, we aimed to evaluate the ability of micro-histology combined with cytology to improve the quality of slides and diagnose endometrial lesions.MethodsEndometrial specimens were collected from Li Brushes. Every specimen…

Autophagy is a self-recycling and conserved process, in which the senescent cytoplasmic components are degraded in cells and then recycled to maintain homeostatic balance. Emerging evidence has suggested the involvement of autophagy in onco…

Abstract Background Endometriosis is still a difficult problem for women.The Nuclear Ubiquitous Casein and cyclin-dependent Kinase Substrate 1(NUCKS1)gene is located on human chromosome 1q32.1. It encodes the NUCKS1 protein, a 27 kDa nuclea…

Almost all eukaryotes need oxygen to maintain regular physiological activities. When the organism is under hypoxic situation for a persistent or periodic, it will induce irreversible physiological disorders and even pathological results. Hy…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is still a difficult problem for women. The Nuclear Ubiquitous Casein and cyclin-dependent Kinase Substrate 1 (NUCKS1) gene is located on human chromosome 1q32.1. It encodes the NUCKS1 protein, a 27 kDa nuclear DNA…

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic nonarticular rheumatic disease mainly characterized by diffuse disseminated skeletal muscle pain, with varied symptoms including anxiety, sleep disturbance, and fatigue. Due to its unknown etiology and pathoge…

Intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) have caused serious harm to women's reproductive health. Although emerging evidence has linked intrauterine microbiome to gynecological diseases, the association of intrauterine microbiome with IUA, remains unk…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of postoperative gonadotrophin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) therapy before treatment with intrauterine insemination (IUI) for infertile females with stage I-II endometriosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Ninet…

BACKGROUND: To clarify clinical importance of serum CA19-9, CA-125, and plasma D-dimer (D-D) levels in detecting spontaneously ruptured ovarian endometriosis (OE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively examined 173 patients with endome…

We aimed to estimate the diagnostic value of DNA methylation levels in cytological samples of endometrial cancer (EC) and atypical hyperplasia (AH). Two hypermethylated genes, namely, cysteine dioxygenase type 1 (CDO1) and zinc finger prote…

Abstract Background: In recent years, it is proved that the immune system contributes a lot to the pathogenesis and progression of endometriosis (EM). Identifying the signature of immune cell infiltration, the immune related diagnostic biom…

BackgroundUnsubstantiated concerns have been raised on the potential correlation between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination and infertility, leading to vaccine hesitancy in reproductive-aged population.…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate iron metabolism indices in ovarian endometriosis (OEMs) and to demonstrate the potential clinical implications in the initiation and development of OEMs. METHODS: Three datasets in Ge…

Some of the key steps in adenomyosis (AM) are the migration and invasion of adenomyosis derived cells (AMDC); these processes require rearrangement of the cytoskeleton which Rho/ROCK signaling pathway is involved. The aim of the current stu…
