Perioperative abstinent smokers experience heightened pain sensitivity and increased postoperative analgesic requirements, likely due to nicotine withdrawal-induced hyperalgesia. However, the underlying neural mechanisms in humans remain un…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis (EM) is an inflammatory condition that affects approximately 10% of the female-born population. It is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, leading to chronic pelvic pain…

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…

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…

Background & aimsPancreatitis is influenced by environmental and genetic factors. Genome-wide association studies identified polymorphisms at the X-linked CLDN2 locus as risk factors for chronic pancreatitis. CLDN2 encodes claudin-2 (CLDN2)…

Abstract Background Symptom recurrence remains a clinically significant concern, highlighting the need for reliable prognostic markers to guide patient management. This study focused on evaluating the association of the maximum junction…

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) has been implicated in female reproductive toxicity, while its long-term effects of prenatal exposure remain unclear. Herein, we conducted a comprehensive NHANES analysis to estimate the Hazard Ratio (HR) of ea…

Nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine (AG) is the standard first-line chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and has limited efficacy. This phase 1b/2 study aimed to evaluate SHR-1701 (an anti-PD-L1/TGF-βRII fusi…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive disorder characterized by hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and polycystic ovaries. The quality of oocytes in PCOS patients remains poor, leading to poor pregnancy outcomes. T…

BackgroundAssisted reproductive technology (ART) effectively treats infertility yet often results in multiple pregnancies. Optimizing clinical pregnancy rates while minimizing multiples remains challenging. Key considerations for ART provid…

Protein O-GlcNAcylation is a post-translational modification coupled to cellular metabolic plasticity. Aberrant O-GlcNAcylation has been observed in many cancers including endometrial cancer (EC), a common malignancy in women. However, clin…

BackgroundThis study investigated the safety and efficacy of hysteroscopic sutureless fixation of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) for treating heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), providing a viable therapeutic option …

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an inflammatory disease of the intestine whose primary pathological presentation is the destruction of the intestinal epithelium. The intestinal epithelium, located between the lumen and lamina propria, t…

ObjectiveWe aimed to analyze the correlation between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and the treatment outcomes for infertile women after in vitro fertilization (IVF) using embryo transfer technology.MethodsThis retrospective stud…

Postpartum uterine necrosis is a rare and serious complication. The uterine tissue becomes devascularized and then causes endometrial necrosis and even myometrial necrosis, usually combing with uterine infection. To clear the infection, hys…

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of patients with endometriosis regarding surgical treatment and fertility preservation. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted in China betw…

Sterile and infection-associated inflammatory diseases are becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide. Conventional drug therapies often entail significant drawbacks, such as the risk of drug overdose, the development of drug resistance in p…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of women during their reproductive years. The relationship between the severity and location of endometriosis and menstruation, ovulation, reproductive function, and mode of delive…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that affects approximately 5 %∼10 % of reproductive-aged women. Zinc (Zn), selenium (Se), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co) and molybdenum (Mo) are essential trace elements and are very imp…

BACKGROUND: The reportedly high mutation rate of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) may be attributed to the absence of histone protection and complete repair mechanisms. Mitochondrial heteroplasmy refers to the coexistence of wild-type and mutant m…

BackgroundPlasma microRNAs act as biomarkers for predicting and diagnosing diseases. Reliable non-invasive biomarkers for biochemical pregnancy loss have not been established. We aim to analyze the dynamic microRNA profiles during the peri-…

Follicle development refers to the process in which the follicles in the ovary gradually develop from the primary stage to a mature state, and most primary follicles fail to develop normally, without forming a dense granular cell layer and …

Endometriosis is characterized by the ectopic proliferation of endometrial cells, posing considerable diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Our study investigates AGPAT4's involvement in endometriosis pathogenesis, aiming to unveil new the…

IntroductionCurrently, the treatment strategies for angular pregnancy in the first trimester after assisted reproduction technology (ART) are unclear. Improper treatment will cause unnecessary losses to patients, especially infertile patien…

JNK3, a member of the MAPK family, plays a pivotal role in mediating cellular responses to stress signals, with its activation implicated in a myriad of inflammatory conditions. While JNK3 holds promise as a therapeutic target for neurodege…
