Infertility remains a global challenge, with female factors accounting for the majority of cases. Endometrial receptivity (ER), the ability of the endometrium to accept and support embryo implantation, is a critical determinant of successfu…
Musculoskeletal ultrasound has gained increasing attention as a noninvasive imaging modality in pain clinics. Its advantages include the lack of radiation exposure, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency, allowing for rapid provision of dynamic…
The relationship between hyperprolactinemia and gut microbiota remains unclear at present. This study employs a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to assess the potential causal links between gut microbiota and the incidence of hyperprol…
Infertility is a prevalent reproductive disorder, with local and systemic inflammatory responses potentially playing a pivotal role in its etiology. Alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), an acute-phase glycoprotein, has been implicated in inflam…
Study questionDo novel per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (Novel PFAS) have associations with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI)?Summary answerHexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (HFPO-DA), perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA), perfluoropent…
The incidence of malignant tumors continues to grow. Still, with the rapid development of various diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, the survival rate of malignant tumors has been improved, and the increased survival rate has introduced…
BackgroundGrowing evidence suggests that environmental pollutants exert a detrimental impact on female fertility. Among these pollutants, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), easily encountered in the environment, have garnered significant at…
Leiomyomas (LM) and adenomyosis (AM) are common gynecological diseases with high incidence rates and an increasing trend of affecting younger women. Accurate detection and differentiation of LM and AM in ultrasound images are crucial for se…
Sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease (SPID), such as chronic pelvic pain and infertility, are major long-term complications that significantly harm women's health. N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most common internal mRNA modification in e…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of the involvement of USP33 in autophagic ferroptosis in endometriosis (EMs). METHODS: Endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) were isolated from 15 healthy controls and 30 patients with EM…
Abnormal development of granulosa cells is widely recognized as a critical factor contributing to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the precise etiology and underlying mechanisms of this disorder remain largely elusive. Accumulatin…
Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory disorder featured by infertility and pain. The role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) in EMs has been evidenced. This study investigated the molecular mechanism of METTL14-m6A-KLF4 modulating macropha…
The regulatory mechanism between N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation and histone modification in endometrial receptivity remains poorly understood. In this study, we depict that RIF induced m6A and Mettl3 level restrain, affecting H3K2…
BackgroundComprehensive sonographic evaluation of pre- and postmenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding is essential for accurate diagnosis and the optimization of curative outcomes for endometrial malignancy. Microvascular flow imag…
Ferroptosis has been increasingly implicated in adipose and muscle dysfunction, systemic metabolic disturbances, and several diseases in livestock, which necessitates effective and side-effect-free inhibition strategies. Phloretin, a dihydr…
PurposeTo investigate the incidence and clinical characteristic of preoperative anemia and its impacts on perioperative outcomes in gynecological inpatients.Patients and methodsWe retrospectively collected data from surgical patients admitt…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: According to a four-level scale of endometriosis surgical complexity, the 2021 American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) endometriosis classification system was externally and prospectively validated. And we…
IntroductionMinimally invasive techniques have been widely adopted for hysterectomy, including Transumbilical Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Surgery (TU-LESS) and Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES). However,…
Dual-omics, by integrating molecular information from two distinct dimensions, can offer more comprehensive perspective for complex disease. Herein, we developed an efficient functionalized mesoporous nanoparticle-coupled laser desorption/i…
Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) has been confirmed to suppress inflammation in endometriosis (EMs). Herein, this study investigated whether and how TMP affected NLRP3 inflammasomes and oxidative stress in EMs. After establishment of an EMs rat mo…
While the blood urea nitrogen/albumin ratio (BAR) is recognized for its prognostic significance in various diseases, its association in acute pancreatitis (AP) remains uncertain. This research seeks to clarify the relationship between BAR a…
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess how embolization endpoints affect the efficacy of uterine artery embolization (UAE) for adenomyosis. METHODS: In this single-center retrospective cohort study, patients treated with UAE from 2014-2018…
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing, and remitting disease characterized by chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. The exact etiology and pathogenesis of IBD remain elusive. Although ELF-1 has been known to…
BackgroundIntrauterine adhesions (IUAs) is a gynecological condition with a poor therapeutic prognosis, that severely threatens the fertility and the reproductive physiology and psychological health of women. Our previous research on the us…
