IMPORTANCE: Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition affecting 10% of reproductive-aged individuals, remains underdiagnosed and poorly managed due to a limited understanding of its pathogenesis. Emerging evidence highlights the gut a…

Adenomyosis and endometriosis are two sister diseases that cause menstrual pain and other symptoms. We have previously reported that patients with these conditions have a less active 'calm-and-rest' system and a more active 'stress-and-aler…

Abstract Objective This study aims to systematically compare the short-term efficacy and safety differences between daily oral 2 mg Dienogest (DNG) and daily oral 10 mg Mifepristone (MIF) in the treatment of patients with symptomatic aden…

Background/Objective: RNA modifications, including N6-methyladenosine (m6A), 5-methylcytosine (m5C), 7-methylguanosine (m7G), N1-methyladenosine (m1A), pseudouridine (Ψ), N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C), 5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-thiouridine (mcm5…

Endometriosis significantly impacts women's health and fertility, with cell aging playing a crucial role in its development. This study utilized a multi-omic summary Mendelian randomization (SMR) analysis, integrating genome-wide associatio…

STUDY QUESTION: Do all ectopic endometrial lesions (endometriosis and adenomyosis) universally have activated estrogen signaling? SUMMARY ANSWER: Estrogen signaling diminishes concordantly with increased fibrosis in ectopic endometrium, wi…

Epigenetic reprogramming plays a critical role in cancer progression of cancer, and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most common RNA modification in eukaryotes. The purpose of this study was to explore the related modification mode of m6A re…

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a class of anthropogenic organic compounds widely present in the natural and human living environments. These emerging persistent pollutants can enter the human body through multiple channels,…

Background/Objectives: This paper undertakes an investigation into the implications of premature progesterone rise (PPR) on pregnancy outcomes in freeze-all strategy cycles. Methods: A retrospective cohort study encompassing 675 IVF/ICSI cy…

The prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) signaling has traditionally been viewed to play a pivotal role in endometriosis, linking inflammation and hyperestrogenism. We have previously reported that asectopic endometrium becomes more fibrotic, the expres…

Introduction: Dahuang-Taoren (DT) is a classic combination of botanical drugs applied to treat pain-related diseases in ancient China. Today, DT is frequently applied for dysmenorrhea of adenomyosis (AM) in the clinic. Growing evidence indi…

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Recent studies indicate that endometrial hypoxia plays a critical role in adenomyosis (AM) development. Mitochondria are extremely sensitive to hypoxic damage, which can result in both morphological and functional impai…

Abstract Purpose Although numerous studies have attempted to establish the relationship between adenomyosis and infertility, no consensus has emerged. Our aim was to investigate whether adenomyosis and endometriosis affected IVF outcomes in…

BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer (GC) is ranked as the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. 1,2,3,4,6-Pentagalloyl-β-D-glucose (β-PGG) has various pharmacological activities and has been shown to suppress cancer development.…

Abstract Purpose : These study aims to assess the impact of endometrioma on patients who undergo ART treatment due to endometriosis. Methods : Retrospective study was conducted in women ≤ 40 years of age who underwent ART treatment at an ac…

Endometriosis is a serious human gynecological disorder of women of reproductive age. The present study was designed to explore the therapeutic implications of rhein in the management of endometriosis. The results showed that rhein signific…

Abstract Background Does endometrioma per se, different from endometriosis, have specific impacts on IVF/ICSI outcomes? Dose cystectomy of the endometrioma improve IVF/ICSI outcomes? Methods We retrospectively analyzed 2153 IVF/ICSI cases t…

Background/Objectives: The pathogenesis of hyperglycemia during acute pancreatitis (AP) remains unknown due to inaccessibility of human tissues and lack of animal models. We aimed to develop an animal model to study the mechanisms of hyperg…

BACKGROUND: Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), growth differentiation factor 8 (GDF8) and their functional receptors are expressed in human ovarian follicles, and these two intrafollicular factors play essential roles in regulating follic…

Adenomyosis is one of the most common gynecological disorders that the molecular events underlying its pathogenesis remain not fully understood. Prior studies have shown that endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) played crucial roles in the path…

INTRODUCTION: Current treatments for chronic pain (eg, opioids) can have adverse side effects and rarely result in resolution of pain. As such, there is a need for adjuvant analgesics that are non-addictive, have few adverse side effects an…

MicroRNA let-7b is a potent tumor suppressor and targets crucial oncogenes. Previous studies have shown that let-7b expression is suppressed in ovarian cancer; however, the regulatory mechanisms of let-7b in ovarian cancer are still not wel…

BACKGROUND: With the rapid development of whole embryo freezing technology, more and more frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) was used in assisted reproductive technology. However, the best FET program for elderly women has not been finaliz…

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is one of the most serious and iatrogenic complications that can occur during in vitro fertilization treatment. Although the pathogenesis of OHSS is not fully understood, vascular endothelial growth …

BACKGROUND: Facebook has shown promise as an economical means of recruiting participants for health research. However, few studies have evaluated this recruitment method in Canada, fewer still targeting older adults, and, to our knowledge, …
