Perioperative abstinent smokers experience heightened pain sensitivity and increased postoperative analgesic requirements, likely due to nicotine withdrawal-induced hyperalgesia. However, the underlying neural mechanisms in humans remain un…
BACKGROUND: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the association between endometrial thickness (EMT) on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger and the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) across one oocyte-retrieval cycle.…
PURPOSE: To explore the impact of seasonal variations on the risks of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in women who undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. METHODS: We retrospectivel…
BACKGROUND: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is characterized by ovarian dysfunction that develops from diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). The exact aetiology of POI remains poorly understood. This study aims to elucidate the role of CK…
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the association between the dynamics of routine metabolic markers and endometriosis severity. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients diagnosed with endometriosis at Zhongshan H…

BACKGROUND: Previous study suggested evidence for coexistence and similarities between endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but it is unclear regarding the shared genetic architecture and causality underlying the phenotypic s…
BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. The sex differences in the occurrence and fatality rates of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), along with its association with estrogen dependence, suggest tha…
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is one of the important pathogenic substances of E. coli and Salmonella, which causes injury to the reproductive system. Ovarian dysfunction due to Gram-negative bacterial infections is a major cause of reduced repr…
BACKGROUND: The etiology of premature ovarian insufficiency, that is, the loss of ovarian activity before 40 years of age, is complex. Studies suggest that genetic factors are involved in 20-25% of cases. The aim of this study was to explor…
IMPORTANCE: A growing number of children are conceived with assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, there is a lack of studies systematically analyzing the genetic landscape of live-born children conceived through ART who need inte…
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several common variants associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the etiology behind PCOS remains incomplete. Available evidence suggests a potential genetic correlati…
Endometrial cancer (EC) is the gynecological tumor with the highest incidence. In recent years, it has been proved that necroptosis is a method of cell death related to EC. However, the expression of necroptosis-related miRNA in EC and its …
Abstract Abstract: Context: Graves’ orbitopathy (GO) presents with infiltrative exophthalmos due to excessive proliferation, adipogenesis and glycosaminoglycans production of orbital fibroblasts (OFs). There are few therapies potent for pro…
Endometriosis (EMs) is one of the most common gynaecological diseases in women of childbearing age. Astrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG-1) is associated with the invasion, migration, apoptosis and prognosis of various cancers. However, the roles…
For women, gynaecological or obstetrical disorders are second to disc prolapse as the most common cause of sciatica. As not many effective conventional treatments can be found for sciatica following uterine cancer, patients may seek assista…
The identification of biomarkers and their interaction network involved in the processes of endometriosis is a critical step in understanding the underlying mechanisms of the disease. The aim of the present study was to construct biomarker …
BACKGROUND: To explore the clinical characteristics of congenital cervical atresia. METHODS: This retrospective analysis included 32 cases of congenital cervical atresia treated from March 1984 to September 2010. The anatomic location, ult…
