PurposeThis study aimed to develop and validate a robust multicenter deep learning pipeline that integrates radiomic descriptors with deep feature embeddings to enable comprehensive ovarian tumor analysis from ultrasound imaging, encompassi…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a rare histological subtype of ovarian cancer, often associated with endometrial lesions, and characterized by poor prognosis and a high propensity for recurrence and metastasis. This study…

BACKGROUND: Circadian rhythm disturbances are known to impair ovarian reserve through endocrine and molecular pathways. However, the specific impact of daytime napping as a common compensatory sleep behavior remains poorly understood. METHO…

OBJECTIVES: To compare the differences in clinical characteristics between different types of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) according to the invasive levels of tissue mass. METHODS: 122 patients, who had undergone resection of AWE les…

Patients with endometriosis have greater risk of infertility, which is associated with compromised ovarian function. Dysfunction in follicular granulosa cells and hyperactivation of oestrogen receptor beta (ERβ) are evident in endometriosis…

Reproduction requires the innate immune system to perform two opposing tasks simultaneously: prevent microbial invasion while preserving tolerance to sperm, the semi-allogeneic embryo, and the developing fetus. This review proposes a unifie…

The paradigm shift of lactate from a mere metabolic byproduct to a pleiotropic signaling molecule, coupled with the discovery of lactylation, provides a crucial framework for understanding how metabolic reprogramming drives systemic patholo…

Urological malignancies represent a group of highly aggressive tumors with a strong tendency toward therapy resistance. Their pathogenesis is closely associated with metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic regulation. In recent years, lactyl…

Acute severe joint pain is a major symptom in gouty arthritis (GA), and its adequate treatment represents an unmet medical need. Mrgprb2, a specific mast cell receptor, has been implicated in the generation of chronic pain by mobilizing mas…

BackgroundUnexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) poses a significant clinical challenge with an elusive pathogenesis. FABP4 is crucial for lipid homeostasis and placental development, but its specific role and regulatory mechanis…

Ovarian endometriosis (OEM) is characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue growth within the ovary. In these ectopic lesions, the ectopic epithelium plays a crucial role in OEM progression and has been associated with malignant transformati…

Traditional view holds that the uterus is a sterile environment. However, with the increased development of molecular biology technologies, this classical theory has been re-examined. Increasing evidence shows that a low-biomass, uniquely s…

BackgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) mainly develops in cases of fibrosis and cirrhosis and is accompanied by intestinal flora disorder. HCC also affects CD8+ T cell immune function. 5,7-Dimethoxyflavone (DMF), an active flavonoid with …

PurposeTo establish a diagnostic model combining contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), and Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data Systems (O-RADS) US v2022, verify its diagnostic efficacy, and compare it with su…

Bacterial biofilms can make traditional antibiotics impenetrable and even promote the development of antibiotic-resistant strains. Therefore, non-antibiotic strategies to effectively penetrate and eradicate the formed biofilms are urgently …

Endometriosis, an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder prevalent in reproductive-age women, is characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, leading to chronic pain and infertility. Current therapeut…

PurposeBladder cancer is one of the ten most common cancers in the world, with a high incidence rate and mortality, and therefore a major burden on the global health care system. PID1 (Phosphotyrosine Interaction Domain 1) functions as an i…

PurposeTo 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.MethodsWe retrospectively incl…

This retrospective cohort study evaluated whether gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) used for luteal support during antagonist cycles improved pregnancy outcomes in patients undergoing fresh embryo transfer. We examined 3,115 p…

ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to assess the impact of different embryo transfer strategies, focusing on cleavage-stage embryos and blastocysts, on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles among women…

Study questionIs there an association between changes in endometrial thickness (EMT) following progesterone administration and pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfers (FETs) at Day 3 (D3) and blastocyst stages?Summary answerEnd…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common disease among women of childbearing age (WCBA), significantly affecting their physiological health. This study systematically analyzes the global, regional, and national burden of endometriosis in WCBA …

Euodiae Fructus (EF) is the dried and nearly ripe fruit of Euodia rutaecarpa, first recorded in Shen Nong's Herbal Classic. EF is a versatile Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) known for the effects of dispelling colds and alleviating pain,…
