BACKGROUND: Infertility is a major global health burden, yet scalable lifestyle strategies to improve reproductive outcomes remain limited. Exercise is low cost and biologically plausible, but evidence on its association with fertility-rela…
This systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis assessed the diagnostic accuracy of wearable digital technology (WDT) in monitoring women's fertility window compared to conventional methods. 8 databases were searched until January…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify tumor-derived DNA in Papanicolaou (Pap) smears and plasma specimens from patients with endometrial cancer or endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EC/EIN). METHODS: Tumor tissue, peripheral blood, a…
BACKGROUND: The preconception period is a window of opportunity to influence maternal and pregnancy outcomes. Inappropriate use of antibiotics results in gut dysbiosis and may affect host reproductive health through multiple dimensions. Ani…
As a chronic gynecological disease, endometriosis is defined as the implantation of endometrial glands as well as stroma outside the uterine cavity. Proliferation is a major pathophysiology in endometriosis. Previous studies demonstrated a …
Endometriosis (EM), characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissues and recurrent pelvic pain, is a common disease with severe negative impacts on the life quality of patients. Conventional uterine tissue transplantation-based models…
The endometrium is a unique human tissue with an extraordinary ability to undergo a hormone-regulated cycle encompassing shedding, bleeding, scarless repair, and regeneration throughout the female reproductive cycle. The cyclical repair and…
Endometriosis is a common chronic gynecological disease with endometrial cell implantation outside the uterus. Angiogenesis is a major pathophysiology in endometriosis. Our previous studies have demonstrated that the prodrug of epigallocate…
Fatty acid-binding protein-4 (FABP4), commonly known as adipocyte-fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP), is a pleiotropic adipokine that broadly affects immunity and metabolism. It has been increasingly recognized that FABP4 dysfunction is as…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine diseases in women of reproductive age and features complex pathological symptoms and mechanisms. Existing medical treatments have, to some extent, alleviated the deteriora…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer (OC) is among the deadliest malignancies in women and the lack of appropriate markers for early diagnosis leads to poor prognosis in most cases. Previous studies have shown that KAZN is involved in multiple biolog…
Gefapixant/AF-219, a selective inhibitor of the P2X3 receptor, is the first new drug other than dextromethorphan to be approved for the treatment of refractory chronic cough (RCC) in nearly 60 years. To date, seven P2X subtypes (P2X1-7) act…
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are essential for protein synthesis. Mature or pre-tRNAs may be cleaved to produce tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs). tsRNAs, divided into tRNA-derived stress-induced RNA (tiRNAs) and tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs), play…
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the usefulness of Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of Polypoid lesions of gallbladder (PLGs) ≥ 1 cm. METHODS: A prospective analysis was performed on 180 patients with …
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether endometrial thickness (EMT) change in response to progesterone has an effect on pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. DESIGN: Retrospective observational study. SETTING: Tertiary-…
This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the variation in the diagnostic criteria for chronic endometritis (CE) and its effect on reproductive outcomes. A search of the academic literature was conducted in various databases including PubMed, Em…
RATIONALE: Ovarian yolk sac tumors (YSTs) are the second most common histologic type of ovarian germ cell tumors. Most patients are adolescent and young women, while cases in postmenopausal women were rarely reported. Due to its rarity, we …
BACKGROUND: Adenomyomatosis of gallbladder is an acquired hyperplastic lesion, characterized by focal or diffuse thickening of the gallbladder with intramural cysts or echogenic areas with comet tail on ultrasonography. But in some cases, e…
Objective: To investigate the improving effect of neck scraping and venesection on vertebroarterial blood supply in patients with vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis(CSA).Methods: Based on CSA diagnostic criteria,60 patients were …
OBJECTIVE: To study the regulation of microRNA 199a (miR-199a) on adhesion, migration and invasion ability of human eutopic endometrial stromal cells (ESC) from patients with endometriosis. METHODS: ESC were transfected with miR-199a mimic…
