PURPOSE: This study aims to explore the factors that may contribute to fear of progression in women with endometriosis and reveal the relationship among social support, illness perception, coping strategies and fear of progression. PATIENT…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis (EMS) is a common gynaecological disorder linked to metabolic disturbances. However, evidence on the associations between lipid accumulation product (LAP) and visceral adiposity index (VAI) with the risk of EMS r…

BackgroundMore than 500 patients have received cryopreserved ovarian tissue transplantation (OTT) worldwide, resulting in over 200 live births. Although guidelines recognize OTT as an effective fertility preservation method, there is no con…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM), a disorder driven by persistent systemic inflammation, impacts around 10% of women in their reproductive period, often diagnosed only via surgery. Metabolic alterations, particularly in lipid metabolism, may …

Although tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a critical immunomodulatory role in colorectal cancer (CRC), the mechanisms underlying their polarization remain unclear. This study identifies the P2X4 receptor (P2X4R) as a crucial mediato…

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…

ObjectiveOral squamous cell carcinoma remains difficult to treat because of its marked tumor heterogeneity, highlighting the need to identify molecular subtypes with distinct therapeutic vulnerabilities. This study aimed to comprehensively …

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most prevalent endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, and presents a significant challenge to the global population. This review provides comprehensive evidence of interventions, including f…

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is the practical experience and summary of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. It shows great potential in treating various chronic diseases, complex diseases and major infectious diseases, and has …

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas and the main cause of hospital admissions for gastrointestinal diseases. Here, the work studied the circular RNA DTNB/microRNA-485-5p/MCL1 axis in AP and hoped to unravel th…

BACKGROUND: Elagolix, an approved non-peptide GnRH antagonist, shows promise in relieving endometriosis-related pain, but its short- and mid-term efficacy and potential side effects are still under investigation. OBJECTIVE: The aim is to p…

BACKGROUND: It has been reported that the use of glucocorticoids may be able to improve clinical pregnancy rates in patients receiving in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). The purpose of this study was to investigate the ass…

It has been reported that the use of glucocorticoids may be able to improve clinical pregnancy rates in patients receiving in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). The purpose of this study was to investigate the association bet…

Recent studies have found that lncRNA-MEG3(MEG3) plays an important role in the development of EMs (Endometriosis), but the specific mechanism needs to be further explored. This study aimed to investigate the effect of MEG3 on the prolifera…

The oral microbiome has been implicated in a growing number of diseases; however, determinants of the oral microbiome and their roles remain elusive. Here, we investigated the oral (saliva and tongue dorsum) metagenome, the whole genome, an…

The vagina contains at least a billion microbial cells, dominated by lactobacilli. Here we perform metagenomic shotgun sequencing on cervical and fecal samples from a cohort of 516 Chinese women of reproductive age, as well as cervical, fec…

ObjectivesEstrogen not only plays a key role in the decreased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) but also influences its severity. We aimed to explore the effect of the reproductive lifespan on the motor progression of PD female patients in a…

Diabetes is a syndrome characterized by hyperglycemia with or without insulin resistance. Its etiology is attributed to the combined action of genes, environment and immune cells. Myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) is a heterogeneous po…

Oocyte is arrested at metaphase of the second meiosis until fertilization switching on [Ca2+]i oscillations. Oocyte activation inefficiency is the most challenging problem for failed fertilization and embryonic development. Mitochondrial fu…

Copy number variations (CNVs) have been shown to cause numerous diseases, however, their roles in human lifespan remain elusive. In this study, we investigate the association of CNVs with longevity by comparing the Han Chinese genomes of lo…

Adenomyosis is a pathological gynaecological condition characterized by benign invasion of the endometrium into the myometrium. High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is one of the most common therapeutic strategies for the treatment of a…

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a specific role in the migration of tumor cells. Both estrogen and midkine (MK) have been thought to be important factors in promoting the progression of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and c…
