Ovarian cancer(OC) poses a significant clinical challenge due to its frequent peritoneal dissemination and development of chemotherapy resistance, contributing to poor patient outcomes. Chronic inflammation is a pivotal driver of disease in…

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) represents a rare and aggressive subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer with distinctive clinical and molecular characteristics. However, the identification, origin, and molecular features of the malignant …

BackgroundUrinary incontinence (UI) is commonly linked to pregnancy and obstetric factors, but the association between fetal birthweight and maternal UI remains contentious. This study investigates the association between fetal birthweight …

Adenomyosis, characterized by clinical intractability, significantly impacts female fertility and life quality due to the absence of definitive diagnostic markers and effective treatment options. The invagination theory is a primary hypothe…

BackgroundChat-Generative Pretrained Transformer (ChatGPT) has proven its value in medical information acquisition and perioperative education. This study aimed to evaluate correlated factors to explore the value of ChatGPT in patient commu…

Oral dysbiosis increases the risk of oral diseases and systemic diseases, with many related conditions overlapping with systemic diseases triggered by gut dysbiosis. Studies have shown that the oral cavity serves as an endogenous reservoir …

Nuclear receptors (NRs) are a large family of ligand-dependent transcription factors that regulate the expression of a wide range of target genes in response to endogenous and exogenous ligands, including steroid hormones, thyroid hormone, …

Mucinous cystic neoplasm of the liver (MCN-L) is a rare benign tumor accounting for less than 5% of all liver cysts, with MCN-L in the hilar region being exceptionally uncommon and often misdiagnosed due to its complex presentation. A 48-ye…

PurposeTo investigate the applicability and safety of the blastocyst grading system for borderline blastocysts assessed by measurement of the inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) parameters.MethodsA total of 361 borderline blastocys…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects women of reproductive age. The current hormonal treatments are unsuitable for women who wish to conceive, highlighting the need for non-hormonal therapeutic alternatives…

Endometriosis affects a substantial number of women of reproductive age, yet current diagnostic methods rely on invasive procedures. To address this limitation, we investigated THBS1 as a potential biomarker and regulator of disease progres…

BackgroundThe relationship between negative emotions and chronic respiratory diseases remains largely unexplored. In this study, we employ Mendelian Randomization (MR) to investigate the potential causal relationship between negative emotio…

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether blastocysts that do not re-expand 2–4 h after thawing were of value for utilization and to analyze the relevant factors affecting clinical pregnancy in completely shrunken blastocyst transfer (C…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the utility of clinical and MRI features in distinguishing ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) from adnexal masses with ovarian-adnexal reporting and data system (O-RADS) MRI scores of 4-5. METHODS: This retrospective s…

Adenomatoid tumors are rare, specific, benign tumors of the reproductive tract that originate from mesenchymal tissue. A patient was diagnosed with uterine fibroids 1 year previously when a mass of approximately 30 mm was found in the left …

BackgroundNuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are sophisticated and dynamic protein structures that straddle the nuclear envelope and act as gatekeepers for transporting molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. NPCs comprise up to 30 diff…

INTRODUCTION: Anti-sulfatide antibodies are key biomarkers for the diagnosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). However, case reports on anti-sulfatide antibody-related GBS are rare, particularly for atypical cases. CASE DESCRIPTION CASE 1:…

PURPOSE: To investigate the association between the oxidative balance score (OBS) and endometriosis. METHODS: This cross-sectional study used four cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (1999-2000, 2001-200…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis (EM) is a multifactorial disease that affects 10 - 15% of women of reproductive age. Additionally, 30-50% of women with EM suffer from infertility. The mechanism of infertility caused by EM has not yet been consi…

INTRODUCTION: The microbial community plays a crucial role in the pathological microenvironment. However, the structure of the microbial community within endometriotic lesions and its impact on the microenvironment is still limited. METHOD…

BackgroundPoor oocyte quality remains one of the major challenges for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Granulosa cells (GCs) in PCOS display altered functions and could cause an unfavo…

Uterine adenomyosis causing attention to the abnormal smooth muscle layer has recently received increasing attention, which has created the need for a method that can efficiently collect high purity uterine smooth muscle cells (USMC) in a l…

Endometriosis refers to as an estrogen-dependent disease. Estrogen receptor β (ERβ), the main estrogen receptor subtype which is encoded by the estrogen receptor 2 (ESR2) gene, can mediate the action of estrogen in endometriosis. Although s…
