Autographiviridae phage HH109 is a lytic Vibrio alginolyticus E110-specific phage, but the molecular mechanism underlying host recognition of this phage remains unknown. In this study, a transposon mutagenesis library of E110 was used to sh…

Accumulating oxidative damage is a primary driver of ovarian reserve decline along with aging. However, the mechanism behind the imbalance in reactive oxygen species (ROS) is not yet fully understood. Here we investigated changes in iron me…

Abnormal trophoblast self-renewal and differentiation during early gestation is the major cause of miscarriage, yet the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we show that trophoblast specific deletion of Kat8, a MYST family…

INTRODUCTION: Macranthoidin B is one of the primary and unique triterpenoid saponin metabolites from Lonicera macranthoides Hand. -Mazz, which is used to treat endometriosis (EMS) in traditional Chinese medicine. However, the effect of macr…

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Hepatic fibrosis (HF) is a critical step in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Gene associated with retinoid-IFN-induced mortality 19 (GRIM19), an essential component of mitochondrial respiratory chain c…

DNA damage is a key factor affecting gametogenesis and embryo development. The integrity and stability of DNA are fundamental to a woman's successful conception, embryonic development, pregnancy and the production of healthy offspring. Agin…

OBJECTIVE: No consensus currently exists regarding patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) instruments. This structured review was conducted to identify the PROMs used by randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated surgical treatment…

BACKGROUND: Unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (URPL) is a clinical dilemma in reproductive fields. Its diagnosis is mainly exclusionary after extensive clinical examination, and some of the patients may still face the risk of miscarriage…

Endometriosis, affecting 6%-10% of women, often leads to pain and infertility and its underlying inflammatory mechanisms are poorly understood. We established endometriosis models in wild-type and IL16KO mice, revealing the driver function …

Ovarian endometriosis is characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue within the ovary, causing infertility and chronic pain. However, its pathophysiology remains unclear. Utilizing high-precision single-cell RNA sequencing, we profile…

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between urate level and female infertility using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. METHODS: To identify instrumental variables, we selected independent gene…

PURPOSES: The mediating effect of social support on the relationship between intimacy and perceived partner responsiveness (PPR) was examined among the endometriosis women of childbearing age. METHOD: 201 endometriosis (EM) women of childb…

BACKGROUND: Although there are many benign tumors in the ovarian adnexal area, the four most common types are still luteal cyst, ovarian mature cystic teratoma (OMCT), ovarian endometriosis, and benign epithelial tumors of the ovary. PURPO…

Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent disease and the etiologies has not uniform. Microbiota is associated with human diseases. To delve into the relationship between EMS and microbiota, Ectopic (EM) and eutopic (EU) endometrial tissues, phary…

INTRODUCTION: Female infertility is defined as the absence of clinical pregnancy after 12 months of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. METHODS: This study employed metabolomics and proteomics approaches to investigate the relationship…

OBJECTIVE: Advances in surgical techniques and perioperative management are the two major contributing factors to improved surgical outcomes. The purpose of the current study was to compare the efficacy of single-port surgery and perioperat…

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the relationship between early life body size and occurrence of life-course multiple chronic diseases (multimorbidity). We aim to evaluate associations of birth weight, childhood body size, and their change…

The lymphatic system is a channel for fluid transport and cell migration, but it has always been controversial in promoting and suppressing cancer. VEGFC/VEGFR3 signaling has long been recognized as a major molecular driver of lymphangiogen…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of removal of different volumes of ovarian tissue on fertility and offspring development of SD rats. METHODS: SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups according to different…

INTRODUCTION: Triptorelin is available as 1- and 3-month prolonged-release (PR) formulations; at the time of the study, only the former was approved for central precocious puberty (CPP) in China. This study assessed the efficacy and safety …
