Accurate identification of the endometrial region is critical for the early detection of endometrial lesions. However, current detection models still face two major challenges when processing endometrial imaging data: (1) In complex and noi…

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor. Recent evidence suggests that the novel long noncoding RNA DHRS4 antisense RNA 1 (DHRS4-AS1) serves an important role in cancer progression and metastasis. However, its func…

OBJECTIVE: Ovarian cancer (OC) is a common malignant tumor in women, with poor prognosis and high mortality rates. Early diagnosis, screening, and prognostic prediction of OC have long been focal points and challenges in this field. In rece…

Retrograde menstruation is a widely recognized etiological factor for endometriosis (EMs); however, it is not the sole cause, as not all affected women develop EMs. Emerging evidence suggests a significant association between the vaginal mi…

Adenomyosis, a prevalent gynecologic disorder affecting women of reproductive age, is characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue within the myometrium. The involvement and underlying mechanisms of ferroptosis in adenomyosis…

Chronic pain imposes incalculable health and economic burdens, affecting more than 30% of the global population in published studies. Optimal management of chronic pain is imperative for individuals experiencing such distress. Nevertheless,…

Currently, the treatment and prevention of multiple sclerosis (MS) continue to encounter significant challenges. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis has emerged as a crucial research method in the pursuit of new therapeutic strategies. Ac…

Chronic pain is a major cause of suffering. This interferes with daily functioning and is often accompanied by distress. However, current therapeutic strategies for chronic pain are unsatisfactory because of poor understanding of its mechan…

Natural killer (NK) cells, serving as pivotal mediators of innate immunity, play an important role in antitumor immunity. Immune checkpoint can be expressed on the surface of NK cells and meticulously regulates their activation states and e…

PURPOSE: The study aimed to develop a nomogram to predict live birth outcomes in infertile women with adenomyosis undergoing IVF/ICSI treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data were collected from the Center for Reproductive Medicine, Shandong…

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…

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) has attracted increasing attention from researchers as an endogenous lipid mediator. It exhibits a unique mechanism of action in alleviating pain, controlling inflammation, and providing neuroprotection. It prima…

This study investigated the relationship between dyslipidemia prior to conception and the risk of preeclampsia (PE) in women pregnant by in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). The retrospective cohort study consisted of 2994 w…

BACKGROUND: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an agnogenic chronic intestinal inflammatory disease. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell (UMSC) is a potential therapeutic approach against UC; however, the mechanisms underlying their effica…

Endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a biological process in which endothelial cells lose intercellular junctions and endothelial characteristics under specific pathophysiological stimuli and acquire mesenchymal traits. It plays a …

BACKGROUND: Ureteral reimplantation plays a crucial role in distal ureteral reconstruction, and the integration of robotic systems has greatly enhanced minimally invasive surgical techniques. This pilot study aims to evaluate the technicall…

JOURNAL/nrgr/04.03/01300535-202503000-00032/figure1/v/2024-06-17T092413Z/r/image-tiff Salsolinol (1-methyl-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, Sal) is a catechol isoquinoline that causes neurotoxicity and shares structural similar…

BACKGROUND: Multimorbidity substantially increases health and economic burdens, and reduces productivity in working-age individuals. We conducted a study using data from 393,170 working-age inpatients (18-59 years) in Shaanxi, China, collec…

Chronic pain is an extremely prevalent healthcare issue that has a profound impact on individuals and society. Sex and sex hormones regulate the pain threshold differently in males and females in pain processing. However, the regulatory mec…

Endometriosis involves ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, yet the spatial transcriptomic and metabolic landscape of ovarian endometriomas remains poorly understood. This investigation presents a comprehensive multi-omics analysis of…

Mesenchymal cells constitute the primary structural support elements within endometriotic lesions, yet their pivotal roles in endometriotic pathogenesis remain largely uncharted. This study aimed to construct a single-cell atlas of endometr…

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous ureteral rupture is a rare and emergent urological entity, with limited literature guiding its diagnosis and management. Its non-specific presentation can lead to delayed recognition, posing risks of severe complicat…

In this comprehensive review, we delve into the evolution of drug delivery systems in reproductive medicine with a focus on the emerging role of exosomes, a class of extracellular vesicles. Exosomes offer unique advantages in overcoming the…

BACKGROUND: Thalassemia is a hereditary blood disorder that can impact fertility due to various factors such as iron overload and endocrine disruption. While the effects of iron overload on fertility outcomes in transfusion-dependent thalas…

BACKGROUND: Shear wave elastography (SWE) can be used to detect the stiffness of the myometrium and lesion of the uterus, shear wave dispersion (SWD) can be used to detect the viscoelasticity, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be use…
