OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the feasibility of quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) and R2* mapping in assessing iron deposition in endometriotic ovarian cysts (EMO) and their potential implications for ovarian reserve. MATERIALS AND METH…

BACKGROUND: Pregnant women, as well as patients with endometriosis and some ovarian tumors, may experience a state of high estrogen levels. However, the role of high estrogen in platelet function and thrombosis remains controversial, which …

BackgroundThe ovary is a vital and dynamic reproductive organ. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) plays a vital role in preserving female fertility. However, the cellular subtypes most susceptible to cryoinjury and the molecular mechanis…

Adenomyosis (AM), an estrogen‑dependent chronic inflammatory disease with a rising incidence, has emerged as a major cause of infertility and reduced clinical pregnancy rates in reproductive‑aged women, severely impairing reproductive healt…

The JAK-STAT signaling pathway serves as a central regulator of diverse cellular processes encompassing proliferation, apoptosis, inflammation, and differentiation. Specifically, extracellular ligands such as interleukins, and colony-stimul…

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) imaging in distinguishing cystic or predominantly cystic ovarian lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 49 patients underwent APTw imaging at 3T…

BackgroundThe 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 i…

Fungal biofilms, as self-produced extracellular polymeric substances that resist antifungal agents and immune defense, represent a major cause of treatment failure and recurrent infections. Therefore, it is of great importance to eradicate …

This study analyzes 324 captive giant panda breeding events (1998-2023) to unravel maternal and gestational drivers of cub survival and health-the largest dataset of its kind to date. Key variables included gestational duration, maternal ag…

BackgroundOsteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by reduced bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue. Our previous investigation provided preliminary evidence that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SN…

Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is a common malignancy of the female reproductive system, often diagnosed at advanced stages due to the lack of reliable early biomarkers. Gene methylation has emerged as a key epigenetic mechanism in cancer devel…

ObjectiveTo address the relation among pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), genetic vulnerability and ovarian cancer (OC) risk, we assessed the association between PID and OC risk, alongside the interplay with germline homologous recombinatio…

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) was characterized by endometrial fibrosis, leading primarily to hypomenorrhea, infertility and recurrent miscarriage. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is now recognized as a key factor in the development o…

BackgroundEvidence indicates that the risk of developing a secondary ovarian cancer (OC) is correlated with estrogen receptor (ER) status. However, the clinical significance of the relationship between ER-associated breast cancer (BC) and c…

Aim: To investigate the association between serum homocysteine (HCY) levels, red blood cell folate (RCF) levels, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphism and infertility.Materials & methods: Serum HCY and RCF levels and…

BackgroundSingle-cell sequencing was employed to analyze the tumor immune microenvironment in ovarian cancer (OC) patients, exploring the evolutionary roles of various macrophage subgroups in OC progression and their correlation with fatty …

BackgroundThe role of sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) in fertility remains controversial. Herein, we analyzed its association with semen parameters, embryonic development, and pregnancy outcomes after in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatm…

BackgroundNephrogenic adenoma (NA) is a rare benign tumor that can develop at any site of the urinary system, with the bladder being the most common, followed by the urethra, ureters, renal pelvises, etc. Currently, it is unclear what the p…

BackgroundPrimary perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) of the female reproductive tract have been primarily reported as case reports owing to their clinical rarity. Limited incidence rates and clinical case data hinder a comprehen…

Telomere attrition plays a critical role in the reproductive aging process in humans. Telomere length (TL) is typically regulated by telomerase, the main component of which is telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT). The aim of the present …

BackgroundCesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) treated with either high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation (HIFU-a) or uterine artery embolization (UAE) combined with ultrasound-guided dilation and curettage (USg-D&C) was effective. However, th…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease with an enigmatic pathogenesis. This work explored the function of hsa_circ_0005991 in ovarian endometriosis. High-throughput RNA-Seq was conducted in five matched ectopic (EC) and eutopic (EU…

JNK3, a member of the MAPK family, plays a pivotal role in mediating cellular responses to stress signals, with its activation implicated in a myriad of inflammatory conditions. While JNK3 holds promise as a therapeutic target for neurodege…

Abstract Objective: The aims of this study were to study the distribution of the serum VD levels among infertile people and to analyze the relationships between VD levels and the basic conditions of infertile patients, as well as laboratory…
