BACKGROUND: Recent studies have disputed the association between bisphenol A (BPA) and endometriosis. This updated meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the impact of BPA exposure on endometriosis. METHODS: This study evaluated BPA ex…

BackgroundThe relationship between gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-as) and depression and suicide/self-injury (DASSI) remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate this potential association using data from the FDA Ad…

IntroductionFemale diseases pose significant challenges in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly among adolescent girls and young women, who often receive insufficient attention.ObjectivesTo report patterns and trends of female di…

BACKGROUND: Endometrial cancer (EC) is a heterogeneous gynecologic malignancy with distinct histological subtypes and diverse etiological factors. While autoimmune diseases have been associated with cancer development, the causal relationsh…

The aim of this study was to detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the peripheral blood of patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) using a CTCs sorting technique and to assess the association between CTC counts and patient prognosis. Epit…

IntroductionThe identification of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is paramount for effective patient management, but the gold standard for diagnosing SAP requires over 48 h of organ failure, which may delay timely treatment. Hence, this stu…

Environmental estrogens, a group of exogenous endocrine-active compounds, are frequently present in animal feed, water, and husbandry environments. These compounds, which include synthetic xenoestrogens, phytoestrogens, and metalloestrogens…

BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, we noticed that a large group of young female patients diagnosed with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) suffer from hip/groin pain in daily lives and particularly during menstruation. However, it…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissues. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification regulates diverse cellular processes, yet its role in EMs remains unclear. Here, we sho…

Aging impairs the regenerative capacity and differentiation potential of human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs), but the mechanisms underlying their functional decline remain unclear. Through systematic functional assays and in vivo exper…

BackgroundHeavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a common and debilitating condition in women with bleeding disorders (BD). The underlying hemostatic abnormalities in these patients often make standard treatments ineffective. Clinical management…

The cryopreservation of ovarian tissue can induce oxidative damage. In this study, we investigated whether low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) can mitigate this oxidative damage and examined the underlying molecular mechanisms. Ovarian …

Phthalates (PAEs), typical endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that accumulate in the human body to induce reproductive toxicity, have epidemiological links to endometriosis (EM), but the underlying micro-mechanisms remain unclear. Ferrop…

With colorectal cancer (CRC) accounting for over 1.9 million new cases and 930,000 deaths globally in 2020, there is a critical need for innovative indicators to forecast disease advancement and therapeutic outcomes. The gut microbiome has …

Epidemiological inconsistencies currently obscure the causal link between polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and breast cancer. This review synthesizes multi-disciplinary evidence to characterize PCBs not as passive exposure correlates but as…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disorder. Cholesterol (CHO) has been reported to be closely associated with estrogen synthesis and inflammatory responses. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying the effects of ch…

Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disorder with incompletely understood pathogenesis. Through single-cell RNA sequencing of adenomyosis tissues, we identified epithelial-endothelial transition (EET) as a key pathological mechanism and d…

Poly(lactic acid-lactic acid) (PLGA) has demonstrated significant application potential in tumor-targeted drug delivery systems due to its excellent biocompatibility, degradability, and multifunctionality for loading various therapeutic age…

Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX1) has been reported to play a role in human granulosa cell (GC) dysfunction by binding with long noncoding RNAs in patients with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). 5-Methylcytosine (m5C) methylation is an abun…

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…

ObjectiveTo identify the key factors associated with biochemical pregnancy loss (BPL) following single blastocyst transfer in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles utilizing hormone replacement therapy (HRT).MethodsThis retrospective cohort s…

PurposeARID1A, encoding a component of the switch/sucrose nonfermentable complex, is frequently mutated in urothelial carcinoma. However, its specific impacts on clinical outcomes and CD8+ T-cell functions in urothelial carcinoma remain poo…

BACKGROUND: Uterus ageing is a crucial factor contributing to decreased fertility in older women and is also implicated in menstrual disorders, endometritis, and adenomyosis. Bushen Jianpi Tiaoxue Decoction (BJTD) is a traditional Chinese m…

ObjectiveTo identify clinical characteristics and risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes after clinical pregnancy following laparoscopic tubal anastomosis (LTA).MethodsRetrospective analysis of 253 patients undergoing LTA (May 2016-Dec…

BackgroundPurinergic P2 receptors, which can be divided into ionotropic P2X receptors and metabotropic P2Y receptors, mediate cellular signal transduction of purine or pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphates and diphosphate. Based on the wide e…
