RATIONALE: Adenomyoma of the broad ligament is rare. Owing to the absence of typical clinical signs and imaging methods, preoperative diagnosis is challenging, and it is mainly diagnosed through surgical pathology. PATIENT CONCERNS: The pa…
Endometriosis has been increasingly associated with the aberrant regulation of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), particularly long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs). Despite the growing recognition of their biological significance, t…
Appendiceal mucocele (AM) is characterized by the dilation of the appendix due to the accumulation of mucinous material within its lumen, often discovered incidentally on imaging. Symptoms of AM are typically nonspecific or absent, but pati…
Oocyte aging is closely related to a decline in female fertility, accompanied by increased reactive oxygen species levels and changes in protein posttranslational modifications. However, the role of protein palmitoylation in oocyte aging ha…
Macrophages are vital sentinels in innate immunity, and their functions cannot be performed without internal metabolic reprogramming. Mitochondrial dynamics, especially mitochondrial fusion and fission, contributes to the maintenance of mit…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer outcomes in infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS: We conducted a prospect…
IntroductionUterine sarcoma (US) is a rare tumor characterized by high aggressiveness, a tendency for recurrence and distant metastasis, and an extremely poor prognosis. In this study, we evaluated the expression of Orosomucoid 1 (ORM1) in …
BACKGROUND: Fear of childbirth is a common concern among pregnant women, potentially affecting maternal physical and mental health as well as birth outcomes. However, the factors influencing fear of childbirth are still being explored. This…
Peptide- and protein-based therapeutics offer realized and potential benefits to health, due to their potent bioactivity, high specificity, and favorable safety characteristics. However, their widespread clinical application is constrained …
Organoids are three-dimensional tissue analogues grown in vitro. Although they are not human organs in the strict sense, they can mimic the structure and function of tissues in vivo to the maximum extent, and have broad application prospect…
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects women of reproductive age. The current hormonal treatments are unsuitable for women who wish to conceive, highlighting the need for non-hormonal therapeutic alternatives…
Tubal ciliary movement is one of the essential transport mechanisms for female fertility, playing a key role in facilitating oocyte pickup and transporting the fertilized ovum. This movement is mediated by multiciliated cells and regulated …
BACKGROUND: Ureteral reimplantation plays a crucial role in distal ureteral reconstruction, and the integration of robotic systems has greatly enhanced minimally invasive surgical techniques. This pilot study aims to evaluate the technicall…
Peripheral nerve injury-induced muscle atrophy is characterized by chronic inflammation and dysregulated macrophage polarization. RUNX1, a transcription factor upregulated in denervated muscle, has been implicated in linking muscle degenera…
OBJECTIVE: This study explored the incidence of adverse events (AEs) following microwave ablation (MWA) under local anesthesia and analyzed factors related to benign uterine diseases, including uterine fibroids (UFs) and adenomyosis (AM). …
Endometriosis involves ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, yet the spatial transcriptomic and metabolic landscape of ovarian endometriomas remains poorly understood. This investigation presents a comprehensive multi-omics analysis of…
Through a combination of single-cell/single-nucleus RNA-Seq (sc/snRNA-Seq) data analysis, immunohistochemistry, and primary macrophage studies, we have identified pathogenic macrophages characterized by Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 3 (TET…
BACKGROUND: Shear wave elastography (SWE) can be used to detect the stiffness of the myometrium and lesion of the uterus, shear wave dispersion (SWD) can be used to detect the viscoelasticity, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be use…
Cilia in the fallopian tubes (CFT) play an important role in female infertility, but have not been explored comprehensively. This review reveals the detection techniques for CFT function and morphology, and the related analysis of female in…
This study investigated the prognostic impact of lymph node dissection (LND) in patients with stage I ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC) and aimed to identify the optimal LND range for improved survival. By analyzing data from the Surveil…
m6A regulators were demonstrated to modulate the functions of intestinal epithelial and immune cells in the ulcerative colitis. This study aimed to elucidate whether and how the m6A reader heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C (HNRNPC) …
Recently, the gut microbiota has been found to be associated with multiple organs and systems in the human body, playing a key role in the occurrence and development of various diseases, such as the gut-brain axis and the gut-liver axis. Ho…
OBJECTIVE: The potential association between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and cervical cancer risk is still debated and necessitates additional clinical investigations. This study aimed to explore this relationship using Mendelian randomizatio…
Trained immunity induced by β-glucan insult drives the functional reprogramming of macrophages to the hyperinflammatory status, contributing to developing or maintaining inflammatory diseases. Inflammatory arthritis is characterized by an i…
Ovarian development is a complex process, with early stages laying a crucial foundation for subsequent egg production. To better understand this developmental trajectory from early stages to the peak of egg production, this study employed t…
