BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a complex benign gynecological disease, but it has malignant biological behavior and can invade any part of the body. Clinical manifestations include pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, infertility, pelvic nodules, …
High malignancy is a prominent characteristic of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), emphasizing the necessity for further elucidation of the potential mechanisms underlying cancer progression. Aneuploidy and copy number variation (CNV) partia…
Ovarian endometriosis is characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue within the ovary, causing infertility and chronic pain. However, its pathophysiology remains unclear. Utilizing high-precision single-cell RNA sequencing, we profile…
Female fecundity declines in a nonlinear manner with age during the reproductive years, even as ovulatory cycles continue, which reduces female fertility, disrupts metabolic homeostasis, and eventually induces various chronic diseases. Desp…
Endometriosis, often associated with chronic pelvic pain, can lead to anxiety and depression. This study investigates the role and mechanism of Glycine receptor alpha 3 (Glrα3) in the central sensitization of pain in endometriosis, aiming t…
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas with a high mortality rate. Macrophages play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of pancreatitis. Tectoridin (Tec) is a highly active isoflavone with anti-inflammator…
BACKGROUND: Evidence from observational studies and clinical trials has associated gut microbiota with infectious diseases. However, the causal relationship between gut microbiota and infectious diseases remains unclear. METHODS: We identi…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of β-cell dysfunction on IVF outcomes in women with PCOS. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study includes 1,212 women with PCOS undergoing their first IVF cycle between September 2010 and December 20…
OBJECTIVE: To utilize vast genetic data to reveal the interplay between 41 systemic inflammatory factors and endometriosis. DESIGN: Bidirectional Mendelian randomization study. MAINS OUTCOME MEASURES: This study obtained believable geneti…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer remains a leading cause of death among women, largely due to its asymptomatic early stages and high mortality when diagnosed late. Early detection significantly improves survival rates, and the Ovarian-Adnexal Rep…
OBJECTIVE: To study whether transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) affected the uterine peristalsis (UP) patterns in nonpregnant participants. DESIGN: Institutional review board-approved, prospective observational cohort study. The noninvasive UP …
PURPOSE: With urbanization and industrialization process accelerated, humans are exposed more and more trace elements. This study aimed to explore the potential associations of trace elements with the outcomes of in vitro fertilization embr…
Urinary tract cells respond to bladder distension by releasing adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Patients with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) exhibit elevated urinary ATP levels compared to asymptomatic controls. This stud…
Appendiceal endometriosis with intestinal metaplasia is particularly challenging to diagnose preoperatively based on clinical features. Microscopically, it can mimic malignant transformation into mucinous neoplasms of the appendix. The pres…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between infertility and the incidence of invasive cancer. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study (1989-2015). SETTING: Not applicable. PATIENT(S): A total of 103,080 women aged 25-42 years in the Nurse…
BACKGROUND: Women are at greater risk than men of developing chronic inflammatory conditions and "long COVID." However, few gynecologic health risk factors for long COVID-19 have been identified. Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disord…
Since the advent of conventional multiport laparoscopic surgery, the prosperity of minimally invasive surgery has been thriving on the advancement of endoscopic techniques. Cosmetic superiority, recovery benefits, and noninferior surgical o…
BACKGROUND: Primary dysmenorrhea in women is a common and serious public health problem with psychological and physical effects. Painkillers have adverse effects, such as tolerance, addiction, irritation of the digestive tract, and liver an…
INTRODUCTION: The endometrial microbiota plays an essential role in the health of the female reproductive system. However, the interactions between the microbes in the endometrium and their effects on adenomyosis remain obscure. MATERIALS …
The two most prevalent subtypes of epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) are ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) and high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC). Patients with OCCC have a poor prognosis than those with HGSC due to chemoresistan…
OBJECTIVE: Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) has been recently identified as a potential predictor of live birth rates (LBRs) following assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment. This study aimed to investigate the association between AMH…
PURPOSE: Research on infertility and risk of breast cancer has been conflicting, potentially because many well-established breast cancer risk factors, such as pregnancy history, are strongly correlated with infertility. METHODS: We followe…
Recently, increasing numbers of studies have demonstrated that transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) can be used as a potential target for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. TRPA1 is expressed in both neuronal and non-neuronal…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between intake of soy food and isoflavone with ovarian reserve. Previous studies suggest on the relationship between soy intake and human fertility are inconsistent. Some clinical studies suggest th…
