BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by ectopic endometrial growth. This study aimed to identify and analyze potential signatures of pyroptosis-related genes in EMs. METHODS: We conducted a compre…
The clinical management of endometriosis encounters a significant obstacle: existing therapies inadequately address both the inhibition of ectopic lesion proliferation and the mitigation of the neuroinflammation associated with chronic pain…
INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to examine the impact of quercetin on a mouse model of endometriosis and elucidate its underlying mechanisms. METHODS: An endometriosis model was established using C57BL/6 mice, which were divided into three …
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of SEPT9 on proliferation, migration, and apoptosis in endometriotic stromal cells and to explore the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry and western blotting…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriomsis (EMs) is a complex and chronic gynecological disease characterized by distressing symptoms. Its pathogenesis remains unknown, and there is no effective treatment. Therefore, establishing patient-derived models i…
Anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS) is a rare autoimmune condition characterized by the presence of anti-aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (ARS) antibodies and systemic features such as interstitial lung disease and myositis. Although autoimmune disorde…
While epidemiological studies have associated endometriosis with ovarian cancer risk, the causal relationships across anatomic subtypes and histotypes remain undefined. Using two-sample Mendelian randomization with 84 genetic instruments (F…
Existing evidence shows the importance of circulating cytokines in studying female reproductive system dysfunction. Endometriosis (EM) is thought to be associated with multiple immune cytokines, but its causality has not been proven. Utilis…
BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, scheduling oocyte retrieval is a challenging issue that requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as the woman's age, ovarian response, hormone levels and other variables. Moreover, there is curr…
OBJECTIVE: To compare surgical outcomes of laparoendoscopic single-site myomectomy (LESS-M) for uterine myomas using barbed suture versus conventional suture. METHODS: Data were collected from all women with uterine myomas who underwent LE…
INTRODUCTION: Dramatic alterations of the extracellular matrix (ECM), which can regulate cell behavior by binding to adhesion molecules and are intrinsically linked to immune regulation, occur in decidualization during early pregnancy. Deci…
BACKGROUND: The echo pattern constitutes an ultrasonic index that reflects the characteristics of the endometrium across various phases of the menstrual cycle. However, consensus of endometrial echo pattern and pregnancy outcomes is lacking…
BACKGROUND: This retrospective study aimed to examine the influence of hormonal and metabolic parameters across varying body mass index (BMI) levels on embryo quality and pregnancy outcomes in fresh embryo transfer cycles using assisted rep…
Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare benign tumor originating from the smooth muscle of the uterus. Tumor cells spread along the veins, which may involve the uterine veins, pelvic veins, inferior vena cava, and even the right atrium. …
BACKGROUND: The aetiology and pathogenesis of adenomyosis remain unclear. This study utilised untargeted metabolomics to explore the aberrant amino acid metabolism in adenomyosis. Among the studied metabolites, hydroxyproline is known to pr…
BACKGROUND: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an agnogenic chronic intestinal inflammatory disease. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell (UMSC) is a potential therapeutic approach against UC; however, the mechanisms underlying their effica…
BACKGROUND: Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) is a heterogeneous syndrome characterized by ovarian dysfunction, frequently associated with autoimmune factors. The interaction between peripheral and ovarian immune signals remains unclear. Rece…
INTRODUCTION: In traditional Chinese medicine texts, Xuanyu Tongjing Decoction (XYTJD) is a prescribed remedy for premenstrual belly pain and dysmenorrhea. It is currently routinely used to treat ovarian endometriosis (OEM) with good outcom…
BACKGROUND: While endometriosis (EM) has been previously associated with multiple immune factors, the causal relationship underlying these associations remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: In this study, Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) meth…
Background: The relationship between adenomyosis and vitamin D remains largely unexplored. However, emerging evidence suggests that vitamin D deficiency may increase the risk of developing adenomyosis. Methods: A cross-sectional study was c…
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) during the menopausal transition results in reproductive endocrine disorders and both physiological and pathological changes, substantially impacting women's health. This study aimed to investigate the factor…
OBJECTIVE: To compare long-term decision regret between younger (30 years or younger) and older (31-49 years) patients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign disease. METHODS: We conducted a matched retrospective cohort study t…
OBJECTIVE: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an important factor contributing to infertility in reproductive-aged women. Hyperandrogenism (HA) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PCOS. This study was conducted to explore the fo…
Abstract Objective This study aimed to identify and analyze potential signatures of pyroptosis-related genes in EMs. Methods Transcriptomic datasets related to endometriosis were retrieved from the GEO databases (GSE7305, GSE7307, and GSE11…
Somatic mutations contribute to cancer development by altering the activity of enhancers. In the study, a total of 135 mutation-driven enhancers, which displayed significant chromatin accessibility changes, were identified as candidate risk…
