BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a prevalent gynecological condition among women of reproductive age and is commonly associated with heavy menstrual bleeding, severe dysmenorrhea, and infertility. These symptoms impose a substantial burden on bot…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecological disease. Previous studies have explored relationships between endometriosis and the microbiota, but none have focused on differences in gut microbiota between early-stage and…

Background: Endometriosis (EM) is a prevalent and complex disease affecting women of reproductive age, with significant individual and societal burdens. Despite extensive research, the underlying etiology of EM remains poorly understood. Pr…

Abstract Introduction Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder characterized by immune dysregulation. This condition profoundly affects the quality of life and reproductive health of nearly 200 million women of rep…

Background: Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the female reproductive system. The oxidative balance score (OBS) is a new measure for assessing the balance between antioxidant and pro-oxidative factors in diet and lifestyle. However, …

BackgroundHeart failure (HF) represents the terminal stage of various cardiovascular disorders, with immunogenic cell death (ICD) potentially influencing HF progression through modulation of immune cell activity. This study aimed to identif…

In addition to its classical function in regulating phosphorus and calcium equilibrium, the immunoregulatory effects of vitamin D (VD) have increasingly drawn attention in recent investigations. A deficiency of VD has been associated with m…

Advanced maternal age is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, the impact of changes in maternal physiology, biochemistry, vaginal microbiome, and its metabolites related to reproductive age on pregnancy outcomes is uncertain…

As the fertility risks for older males such as infertility and reduced success rates are on the rise, an increasing number of individuals are turning to Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) to have offspring. However, the influence of pat…

Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder worldwide that significantly impairs the quality of life of patients and imposes a substantial economic burden. The limited efficacy and adverse effects of current pharmacological and surg…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is often diagnosed late and presents significant challenges in clinical treatment. A comprehensive investigation of the cellular classification and composition of endometriosis is essential for studying its diagnos…

PurposeTo compare the clinical outcomes of extremely poor responders with one or two oocytes who receive in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).MethodsA retrospective study was carried out on 2572 patients …

Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare subtype of benign smooth muscle tumor that can exhibit malignant-like biological behavior. Originating in the uterus, IVL grows in mass-like formations within small veins and can extend into the in…

PurposeEmerging evidence suggests that an abnormal endometrial microbiota may be a potential factor contributing to recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). This study aimed to characterize the endometrial microbiota in patients with RPL and to expl…

Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a critical condition that poses a significant threat to patient safety. The production of lactate increases during the process of IRI, and lactate serves as a crucial indicator for assessing the severity…

Cancer remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide, and the emergence of drug resistance has made the identification of new therapeutic targets imperative. Lactate, traditionally viewed as a byproduct of glycolysis with limited ATP-pro…

High incidence of unexplained miscarriage (UM) limits global human reproduction. Lithium (Li) batteries are widely used but rarely recycled, causing Li to spread into environments and enter human body. Notably, the healthy effects of Li exp…

BackgroundHuman Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a ubiquitous sexually transmitted infection globally, frequently associated with sexual behaviors characterized by increased frequency and multiple partnerships. The relationship between var…

Retrograde menstruation is a widely recognized etiological factor for endometriosis (EMs); however, it is not the sole cause, as not all affected women develop EMs. Emerging evidence suggests a significant association between the vaginal mi…

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the mechanism of medicinal cake-separated moxibustion in inhibiting the adhesion, invasion and angiogenesis of ectopic endometriotic tissues in endometriosis (EMs) rats through transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the microbiome profile in the cystic fluid of ovarian endometrioma and explore its association with the microbial communities present in the lower and upper reproductive tracts. DESIGN: A microbia…

BackgroundComprehensive sonographic evaluation of pre- and postmenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding is essential for accurate diagnosis and the optimization of curative outcomes for endometrial malignancy. Microvascular flow imag…

MicroRNAs play crucial roles in regulating inflammatory responses and disease progression. Since its identification on chromosome 17q11.2 in 2005, miR-451 has emerged as a key regulator of multiple physiological and pathological processes. …

Cuproptosis, a copper-dependent distinct form of cell death, holds a critical role in tumor development. However, further investigation is needed to elucidate the impact of the cuproptosis signaling on thyroid cancer. In this study, compreh…

Erectile dysfunction is attributable to numerous biological and psychological issues, and its prevalence increases with age. We conducted genome-wide association studies of erectile dysfunction in AllofUs subjects of European and African an…
