BackgroundOxidative stress is a critical mediator in ovarian aging, a key process leading to premature menopause (PM), which is defined as menopause before age 40. While the Oxidative Balance Score (OBS), a composite measure of dietary and …
BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common reproductive endocrine disorders affecting women of reproductive age. Insulin resistance (IR) is both a hallmark clinical feature and a key contributor to the pathophysiol…
In recent years, the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in disease has attracted considerable interest, underscoring their potential utility as diagnostic biomarkers. miR‑100, belonging to the miR‑99 family, is integral to the pathophysiological pr…
IntroductionRecent investigations have underscored the importance of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which exhibit more specific expression in tissues and cells than mRNA and are involved in gene regulation during development, pathology, an…
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a prevalent condition among middle‑aged and older women, and is associated with the irregular production and breakdown of the extracellular matrix. Mechanical forces serve a key role in preserving the equilibr…
RATIONALE: Intravascular/intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare benign smooth muscle cell tumor with malignant biological behavior. The early diagnosis of IVL is challenging, and the range of treatment options is extensive. PATIENT CON…
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…
Myocardial infarction (MI) results in cardiomyocyte necrosis and conductive system damage, leading to sudden cardiac death and heart failure. Studies have shown that conductive biomaterials can restore cardiac conduction, but cannot facilit…
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has demonstrated its safety, efficacy and noninvasiveness in the ablation of solid tumor. However, its further application is limited by its inherent deficiencies, such as postoperative recurrence ca…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to assess the use of machine learning methodologies in the diagnosis of endometriosis (EM). METHODS: This study included a total of 106 patients with EM and 203 patients with non-EM conditions (like simp…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between adenomyosis volume, as a reflection of its severity, and the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. METHODS: This multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted at a comprehensive tertiary ca…
It is unusual for young patients without any underlying diseases to experience sudden cerebral infarction and heart failure. Here, we report a rare case of a 28-year-old female patient who presented with chest tightness and dizziness. Left …
BackgroundImmunotherapy has emerged as a novel strategy for cancer treatment following surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Immune checkpoint blockade and Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies have been successful in clinical…
In this multicenter, non-inferiority, randomized trial, we randomly assigned 992 women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) with a good prognosis (aged 20-40, ≥3 transferrable cleavage-stage embryos) to strategies of blastocyst-stage (n …
We report the findings of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of endometriosis consisting of a large portion (31%) of non-European samples across 14 biobanks worldwide as part of the Global Biobank Meta-Analysis Initiative …
BackgroundPremature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a common reproductive disease that is associated with chronic inflammation in ovaries. Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is a pro-inflammatory IL-1 family cytokine, and functions as an alarmin reflect…
BACKGROUND: Haemostasis during ovarian cystectomy is reported to damage the ovarian reserve, but the comparative impacts of three haemostasis methods (bipolar energy, suture and haemostatic sealant) on ovarian reserve in patients with ovari…
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas. Despite of a steadily increasing in morbidity and mortality, there is still no effective therapy. Gut microbial dysbiosis and its derived-metabolites disorder have been sho…
In the last decade, organoid research has entered a golden era, signifying a pivotal shift in the biomedical landscape. The year 2023 marked a milestone with the publication of thousands of papers in this arena, reflecting exponential growt…
Pain is estimated to affect more than 20% of the global population, imposing incalculable health and economic burdens. Effective pain management is crucial for individuals suffering from pain. However, the current methods for pain assessmen…
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a class of anthropogenic organic compounds widely present in the natural and human living environments. These emerging persistent pollutants can enter the human body through multiple channels,…
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by the excessive proliferation of keratinocytes and heightened immune activation. Targeting pathogenic genes through small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapy represents a promising…
To editor: Uterine rupture, despite its low incidence, is a severe obstetric complication that is associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Previous uterine scarring is a known risk factor for uterine rupture. Uterine scars ca…
Background: Family members of Apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme catalytic 3 (APOBEC3) play critical roles in cancer evolution and development. However, the role of APOBEC3A in cervical cancer remains to be clarified. Methods: We used bio…
