Endometriosis, affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women worldwide, is widely recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease. Inflammation-related genes (IRGs) play a crucial role in the occurrence and progression of various dise…

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…

Oocyte/embryo defects can result in oocyte maturation arrest, fertilization failure, embryonic arrest, and infertility as well as recurrent in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) failures. However, the genet…

BACKGROUND: The specific gut microbial signatures and their correlation with immune-inflammatory markers in infertile women with endometriosis remain underexplored.To investigate the differences in gut microbiota and their associations with…

This study aimed to develop and validate a multimodal deep learning model that leverages 2D grayscale ultrasound (US) images alongside readily available clinical data to improve diagnostic performance for ovarian cancer (OC). A retrospectiv…

Female reproductive disorders influence women's physical and mental well-being, and the sustainability of the family. However, it is unclear whether lifestyle factors, including sedentary behaviors and physical activity, could impact them. …

Endometriosis (EM) is driven by immune dysregulation and macrophage dysfunction, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, metabolomic profiling revealed excessive itaconate accumulation in EM lesions, primarily due to elevated ci…

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is widely acknowledged as the prevailing reproductive endocrine disorder accompanied by numerous metabolic dysfunctions. However, there has been a lack of systematic examination regarding the amino…

BackgroundSpontaneous heterotopic pregnancy is an uncommon and possibly serious problem characterized by maternities at unique implantation sites, with only one occurring in the intrauterine cavity. Its incidence is approximately 1 in 30,00…

BackgroundThis study investigates the relationship between the Dietary Inflammation Index (DII) and the risk of infertility among women of childbearing age in the United States.MethodsThis cross-sectional study analyzed data from 3184 women…

Women's reproductive health plays a pivotal role in both longevity and the aging process. We conduct Mendelian randomization (MR) and observational analyses to investigate these relationships. Univariate MR analyses reveal that older age at…

Abstract Endometriosis, affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women worldwide, is a typical chronic inflammatory disease. Inflammation-related genes (IRGs) play a crucial role in the occurrence and progression of various disease…

Endometrium, the lining of the uterus, changes dynamically in response to fluctuations in ovarian hormones. The proper endocrine environment regulates endometrial functions: menstruation and supporting pregnancy. Obesity is closely related …

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a common abdominal emergency in clinical practice. Approximately 20%-40% of patients with SAP will be associated with acute lung injury (SAP-ALI), which is a major cause of death. Emodin (EMO) is a natural…

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…

Current interventions for endometriosis mainly involve hormone therapies but have limited efficacy and unacceptable side effects due to the lack of selectivity to distinguish between endometriosis and endometrial tissues. Elucidating the mo…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs), a common gynecological disorder, involves complex molecular mechanisms. Metabolic reprogramming (MR) has been recognized as a hallmark of EMs, contributing to lesion survival and immune microenvironment remo…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) exhibits localised iron overload. However, the contribution of ferroptosis to EM pathogenesis remains unclear. We investigated how iron overload affects CD8⁺ T cell immune function and the underlying ferroptot…

BackgroundFor patients with nodules detected in imaging that are indeterminate for malignancy, achieving accurate, early, and non-invasive diagnosis of Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LUSC) remains a significant challenge. Therefore, we aimed…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the invasion of endometrial tissues into the myometrium of the uterus, with pathophysiology linked to chronic inflammation and metabolic dysregulation. However, th…

INTRODUCTION: This study investigated whether probiotics alleviate Endometriosis (EMs)-related inflammation by modulating the gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). METHODS: An endometriosis model was established in SD rats, w…

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is closely associated with the abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila), a resident member of the intestinal tract that is being developed as a next-generation probiotic. Accumulated evidence ha…

PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to develop a deep learning model, using the ConvNeXt algorithm, that can effectively differentiate between ovarian endometriosis cysts (OEC) and benign mucinous cystadenomas (MC) by analyzing ultraso…

The proliferation and death of granulosa cells (GCs) in poultry play a decisive role in follicular fate and egg production. The follicular fluid (FF) contains a variety of nutrients and genetic substances to ensure the communication between…

IN BRIEF: Abnormal glucose metabolism may be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The present study identifies that highly expressed H19 leads to increased aerobic glycolysis and histone lactylation levels in endometriosis. ABSTR…
