BACKGROUND: Dysmenorrhea impacts 45% to 95% of women of childbearing age globally. Research on the neuro-immune-endocrine regulatory network has grown by 22.3% annually over the past decade, yet the field faces challenges including fragment…
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a frequent inflammatory disorder with outcomes ranging from mild disease to severe forms marked by infection and organ failure. Gut microenvironment disruption and barrier dysfunction are increasingly recognized a…
BACKGROUND: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) significantly impairs female fertility and poses substantial health risks; however, its pathogenesis is incompletely understood, and effective therapeutic interventions are limited. Although…
Lactic acid modification of histones represents an emerging post-translational modification that establishes a critical link between cellular metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic regulation through the covalent binding of lactic acid to h…
Human endometrial receptivity is a critical determinant of pregnancy success; however, in vivo studies of its features and regulation are particularly challenging due to ethical restrictions. Recently, the development of human endometrial a…
Cytoreductive surgery is the treatment protocol for colorectal cancer. Nonetheless, a major medical challenge remains to fully eliminate malignant tumor cells, along with a number of complications such as peritoneal adhesion and tumor perit…
BACKGROUND: Migraine is a very common chronic neurological disorder associated with severe disability and significant social burden worldwide. Beyond recurrent headache attacks, increasing evidence indicates that migraine often coexists wit…
Objectives: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) significantly compromises in vitro fertilization (IVF) success. Although systemic markers such as anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) serve as valuable clinical indicators of the ovarian reserve, they l…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is associated with infertility, adverse assisted reproductive outcomes, and a high prevalence of intrauterine pathologies. Lesions such as endometrial polyps and chronic endometritis may impair endometrial receptiv…
PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of storage duration after vitrification of cleavage-stage embryos on pregnancy and perinatal outcomes. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on 4205 infertile patients underwent frozen-thawed embry…
ImportanceTonsillectomy has long been scrutinized for its potential long-term impacts on health, with conflicting evidence linking it to increased risks of several diseases, such as cancer, psychiatric disorders, and immune dysfunctions.Obj…
Upon exposure to biofluids, engineered nanoparticles (NPs) spontaneously form reproducible biomolecular coronas via selective diverse biomolecule adsorption. The corona characterization of metabolites poses greater analytical challenges tha…
OBJECTIVE: Bromocriptine has emerged as a potential treatment for adenomyosis. This study aimed to identify genes associated with Bromocriptine sensitivity and explore the biological processes and cell-type-specific expression patterns invo…
Hypoxia stress seriously affects the survival of aquatic animals. However, little is known about the regulation mechanism under hypoxia stress; hence, it is important to fully clarify this regulation to improve the hypoxia tolerance of aqua…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Is surgery effective in decreasing iron deposition in the ovarian tissue surrounding an ovarian endometrioma? DESIGN: This cohort study was conducted in China between July 2023 and April 2024. Seventy-nine patients with …
RESEARCH QUESTION: Do iron metabolism and ferroptosis influence oocyte and embryo quality in patients with endometriosis undergoing IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), or in a mouse model? DESIGN: Fifty-seven patients with laparos…
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a) often induce menopausal symptoms, negatively affecting women's psychological, emotional, and physical health. Kuntai capsule is widely used in clinical practic…
OBJECTIVE: To compare the therapeutic effects of laparoscopic recanalization and laparotomy recanalization on tubal patency restoration after tubal sterilization. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 122 …
IntroductionAcute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory pancreatic disorder with potentially severe systemic consequences. While its immediate clinical impact is well established, the long-term multisystem comorbidities of AP remain underexp…
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 …
BACKGROUND: Predicting in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy outcomes is crucial for individualized decision-making. However, due to complex interactions among multiple factors, accurate manual integration and assessment are challenging. T…
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), is a prevalent metabolic disorder associated with placental dysfunction and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Emerging evidence points to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress as a potential initiating factor in G…
Osteoporosis is a skeletal pathology characterized by decreased bone mass and structural deterioration resulting from an imbalance in bone metabolic processes. Estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women leads to an increased risk of osteop…
Ovarian senescence is accompanied by inflammatory responses, yet the underlying mechanism remains incompletely elucidated. In this study, transcriptome sequencing was performed on ovarian granulosa cells from advanced-age patients and norma…
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Endometriosis (EMs) is a prevalent and challenging gynecological disease and current therapeutic outcomes are suboptimal. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has numerous advantages in treating EMs. Bushen Wen…
