The glycolipid metabolism 7 factors (GLM7) index is a novel composite glycolipid index that includes age, triglycerides, fasting blood glucose, body mass index, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and …

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic male infertility (IMI) accounts for 30%-40% of male infertility cases, yet the molecular networks associated with seminal plasma dysfunction and non-invasive biomarkers remain largely unclear. This study aimed to prel…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian endometriosis(OEM) is a highly prevalent condition that significantly affects women’s health. Tissue-derived extracellular vesicles(Ti-EVs) contain multiple molecules that maintain intercellular communication. They parti…

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are commonly managed through endocrine suppression, analgesia and surgery, yet these approaches do not fully explain persistent pain, recurrence, fibrotic remodeling or variable treatment response. A growing bo…

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a prevalent complication in individuals with diabetes. Efferocytosis plays a pivotal role in chronic diseases; however, the precise mechanisms involved in DKD are still not fully understood. DKD-related data…

Endometriosis, an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder prevalent in reproductive-age women, is characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, leading to chronic pain and infertility. Current therapeut…

BACKGROUND: Urinary 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 birthweigh…

PURPOSE: This study investigates the impact of the Chinese New Year (CNY) holiday on frozen embryo transfer (FET) outcomes in assisted reproductive technology (ART), particularly in vitro fertilization (IVF). Previous research has highlight…

Primordial follicles form the non-renewable germline reserve in female mammals; their limited number is a key determinant of reproductive lifespan and is crucial for female fertility. Insufficient or parasomnia sleep is common in females, y…

The glucose metabolism homeostasis in the follicular fluid microenvironment plays an important role in follicular maturation and ovulation, and excessively high or low glucose concentrations have adverse effects on the differentiation of fo…

OBJECTIVES: To estimate the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) and its subtypes among nulliparous Chinese women with associated risk factors. The prevalence of UI among those living in urban or rural communities was also analysed with …

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…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) is an important factor affecting therapeutic effect and prognosis of acute myocardial infarction. Here, the effects of up-frameshift 1 (UPF1) on cardiomyocyte apoptosi…

INTRODUCTION: Despite recent evidence on the surgical outcomes of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), other patient centre outcomes, including quality of life (QOL), are lacking. This study aims to examine changes in QoL trajectories following …

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have attracted significant scientific attention due to their central role in regulating gene expression and their profound impact on the intricate mechanisms of ovarian function. These versatile molecules exer…

High broodiness in Muscovy ducks impedes animal husbandry growth. The interaction between endocrine hormones and gut microbiota has been proven to play a crucial role in reproductive performance, and whether it can regulate the broody behav…

Skin is a barrier to maintaining the stability of the human environment and preventing the invasion of pathogens. When skin tissue is exposed to the external environment, it will inevitably develop defects due to trauma, injury, burns, ulce…

BACKGROUND: Acupuncture or moxibustion has been proven to be effective for patients with primary dysmenorrhea (PDM). However, the respective advantages and potential central mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion are worthy of investigati…

Objective: To investigate the effect of progesterone elevation during late follicular phase on early pregnancy outcomes and live births after fresh embryo transfers. Methods: Patients who underwent IVF/ICSI treatment cycles were retrospecti…

Phthalate esters (PAEs) are ubiquitous in indoor environments as plasticizers in indoor products. Residences are often exposed to indoor PAEs in the form of gas, particles, settled dust, and surface phases. To reveal the mechanism behind th…

PURPOSE: Many studies identified that the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (PNLR) was associated with patient prognosis in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). We hypothesized that PNLR could be prognostic in patients with…

The human fallopian tube harbors the cell of origin for the majority of high-grade serous "ovarian" cancers (HGSCs), but its cellular composition, particularly the epithelial component, is poorly characterized. We perform single-cell transc…

Aims: To determine the impact of advanced endometriosis (EMS) on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection and frozen-thawed embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-FET) outcomes and analyze the influencing factors. Methods: A retrospective…

Purpose: To screen out specific protein with different concentration in follicular fluid from advanced endometriosis and determine its direct effect on mouse oocytes matured in vitro. Methods: FF samples were obtained from 25 patients (EMS …

The abnormal expression of miRNAs is directly related to the development of human diseases. Predicting the potential candidate miRNAs associated with diseases can contribute to the detection, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of human com…
