BACKGROUND: Spermidine is involved in a wide range of cellular processes, including mammalian oocyte development. Wheat germ is a natural source of polyamines and contains high concentrations of spermidine. However, no studies have evaluate…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis and major depressive disorder (MDD) pose significant global health burdens. Despite pathophysiological overlaps, existing epidemiological studies predominantly examine their unidirectional associations, often const…

Mesothelioma cysts are benign tumor-like lesions derived from mesothelial cells. They mainly affect the peritoneum of the pelvic and abdominal cavities, and are more commonly found in the mesentery and greater omentum, while they are less l…

BACKGROUND: The selection of a frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) strategy requires balancing the potential for improved clinical pregnancy and live birth outcomes against the risk of multiple pregnancy. However, comprehensive evaluations …

BACKGROUND: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) impose significant clinical and economic burdens on healthcare systems globally. Patients in obstetrics and gynecology face unique vulnerabilities; however, population-specif…

BACKGROUND: Effective individualized tools to predict cumulative live birth rates are lacking for patients with ovarian endometriomas undergoing In Vitro Fertilization or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection after ultrasound-guided ethanol scle…

BACKGROUND: The impact of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) on female sexual function remains a controversial and often overlooked issue. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of three common LARC methods on female sexual funct…

STUDY QUESTION: What is the optimal timing of progesterone exposure to achieve live births for day-6 blastocysts in artificial frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles? SUMMARY ANSWER: Live birth rates (LBRs) were comparable between day-…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder involving ectopic endometrial tissue growth. This study investigated IL-33, CD1c+ dendritic cells (DCs) and their co-stimulatory molecules (CD40, CD80, CD86), and IL-17 A in…

Decidualization of human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) is one of the critical steps in the establishment of human pregnancy. Nevertheless, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying human decidualization. In this study, w…

BACKGROUND: Inflammation is central to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. High-density lipoprotein (HDL)-related lipid ratios have been proposed as indicators of systemic metabolic inflammation, yet their associations with endometriosis sta…

BACKGROUND: Homocysteine (Hcy) is a sulfur-containing intermediate metabolite during methionine metabolism. Studies indicate that individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have higher circulating Hcy levels relative to unaffected po…

Severe pneumonia is the leading cause of mortality in individuals with lung disease. Programmed cell death (PCD) is implicated in various pathologies; however, the precise relationship between severe pneumonia and PCD remains unclear. This …

BACKGROUND: Recurrent reproductive failure (RRF), encompassing repeated implantation failure and pregnancy loss, remains a major challenge in assisted reproductive technology (ART). Autoimmune factors have been implicated in adverse reprodu…

OBJECTIVES: Adenomyosis severely impairs fertility and quality of life. This study investigated the pathophysiologic role of cell division cycle 42 (CDC42) in adenomyosis by profiling its expression, identifying its binding partners, and pe…

The genetic architecture of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has not been fully elucidated. Translating genome-wide association study (GWAS) loci into functional effector genes represents a key challenge for elucidating disease mechanisms a…

BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of luteinizing hormone (LH) supplementation during assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles remains controversial, particularly among women of advanced reproductive age. This study aimed to compare the cum…

This study explores how quercetin may treat endometriosis (EMs) by combining network pharmacology and transcriptome sequencing approaches. Through network pharmacology, 132 shared targets between quercetin and EMs were identified, with KEGG…

Comprehensive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis in oncology involves multiple interrelated tasks including volumetric segmentation, grading, staging, and malignancy detection. However, most existing deep learning models are task-spe…

BACKGROUND: Endometrial receptivity (ER) serves as a critical determinant for successful embryo implantation, yet its molecular complexity and limited clinical assessment methods pose significant challenges. Despite advancements in assisted…

BACKGROUND: Irregular sleep and eating patterns in modern lifestyles may disrupt reproductive rhythms, thereby impairing reproductive function in adult women. In livestock production, improper management may disturb livestock eating and act…

BACKGROUND: Cervical clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCAC) and cervical endometrioid adenocarcinoma (CEAC) are rare and aggressive non-HPV-associated malignancies. Despite their histological similarities, these subtypes demonstrate distinct biol…

BACKGROUND: Aggressive Angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare mesenchymal tumor characterized by local invasiveness and a high recurrence rate, often arising in the pelvis and perineum. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 49-year-old woman presenting with…

Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) is a rare subtype of ovarian cancer arising from the malignant transformation of endometriosis (EMS). Despite growing clinical awareness, its underlying pathogenic mechanisms are not fully unde…

BACKGROUND: LY01021 is a novel oral small-molecule gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist intended for the treatment of various sex hormone-dependent disorders. This study aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharm…
