Organoids are rapidly self-organizing 3D in vitro cultures derived from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) or adult stem cells (ASCs) that possess disease-like characteristics with high success rates. Due to their ability to retain tissue struct…

Peptides are fundamental regulators of metabolism, with several already developed as drugs, including glucagon-like peptide-1-based peptide therapeutics for diabetes and obesity. Despite their established importance, our understanding of th…

OBJECTIVE: With the rising frequency and earlier onset of endometrial cancer (EC), improved surgical skills have emerged as a priority. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness and safety of transumbilical laparoendosc…

Neuropathic pain causes plasticity in the nervous system, which is often associated with altered protein synthesis. Proteins are the key executors of cellular functions, and their alteration is closely related to the occurrence of neuropath…

Single and multiple endometrial polyps (EP) are common gynecological conditions with differing recurrence rates, influencing clinical treatment decisions. This study aimed to characterize the reproductive tract microbiome in both subtypes t…

Endometriosis, a persistent inflammatory disease, is associated with pelvic or abdominal pain. The immune system and sensory nervous system show a synergistic effect on regulation of pain. In particular, Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is released a…

BackgroundUterine fibroids(UF), while histologically benign, constitute a pervasive yet inequitable epidemiological phenomenon characterized by disproportionately distributed morbidity burdens that correlate asymmetrically with regional dev…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disease defined by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Gut microbiota has emerged as potent inducer for chronic inflammatory disease, yet whether its mecha…

BackgroundThe prognosis of patients with gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis (GCPM) is exceedingly poor. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with paclitaxel combined with S…

BackgroundOil-based contrast medium in hysterosalpingography has been recommended as an approach to improve fertility in recent years. However, this approach has rarely been applied to patients with unknown recurrent implantation failure (R…

BackgroundDiabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are one of the most common and severe complications of diabetes, closely associated with high amputation rates and mortality, and the clinical treatment research is still limited. Previous studies have d…

Accurate identification of the endometrial region is critical for the early detection of endometrial lesions. However, current detection models still face two major challenges when processing endometrial imaging data: (1) In complex and noi…

BackgroundOvarian cancer has poor treatment outcomes. This study aims to explore the clinical importance of LINC00886 and its effects on cancer cell behavior in ovarian cancer, potentially offering a new therapeutic target.Materials and met…

IntroductionMetabolic syndrome is a serious public health concern across the globe. However, the typical metabolites and mechanisms underlying the decreased fertility related to metabolic syndrome is still elusive.ObjectivesThe aim of the p…

BackgroundOvarian dysfunction caused by aging restricts female reproductive capacity and causes age-related health problems. Ferroptosis is an important mode of cell death during accelerated aging. Oviductus Ranae (OR), a traditional Chines…

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 …

BackgroundInfertility is a growing global challenge that affects millions of people, and various factors influence female reproductive health. This study examined the association between inflammatory indicators, nutritional status, metaboli…

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a newly discovered class of endogenous non-coding RNAs with a closed-loop structures, and they exert crucial regulatory functions in diverse biological processes and disease development through the modulation of…

BackgroundPelvic abscesses represent acute gynecological emergencies requiring timely intervention. This study evaluated prognostic predictors and treatment modalities in patients with pelvic abscesses.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective an…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a hormone-dependent disease, which can usually be divided into peritoneal endometriosis (PEM), deep-infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and ovarian endometriosis (OEM). Although the three pathologic types are essen…

Lactylation, a lactate-derived post-translational modification, emerges as a master metabolic regulator of resistance to regulated cell death (RCD) across pathologies including cancer, inflammatory disorders, and degenerative diseases. By d…

BackgroundThe immune system is of paramount importance in maintaining human health and defending against pathogens. Among them, the adaptive immune system is a crucial component of the immune system, as it is responsible for generating and …

PurposeProgestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) has been widely employed in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycles. In recent years, letrozole (LE) combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) has be…

The most common medications for the treatment of zoonotic toxoplasmosis are pyrimethamine and sulfadiazine, which may cause serious undesirable side effects. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop novel therapeutics. Baicalein (BAI, C15H1…
