Metabolism-regulating microspheres have evolved from conventional drug carriers into active platforms capable of spatiotemporally reprogramming pathological metabolic networks. Chronic diseases are increasingly understood to be driven by me…

Metabolic determinants of oocyte quality and embryonic development remain incompletely understood. Here, we profiled metabolites in human cumulus cells (CCs) and follicular fluid (FF), validated in two mouse models, and integrated transcrip…

BACKGROUND: Nerve growth factor (NGF), which acts on receptors tropomyosin receptor kinase A and p75 neurotrophic receptor, is a member of neurotrophin family and a kind of secretory polypeptides. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search…

Gastric metastasis from breast cancer (GMBC) is a rare but diagnostically challenging condition, whose clinical and imaging features often mimic primary gastric cancer or treatment-related adverse effects. This study integrates a detailed c…

Gynecologic disorders, including infections, sterile inflammatory diseases, endocrine abnormalities, and malignancies, share a common signature of dysregulated immunity within a uniquely hormone-responsive reproductive tract. Neutrophil ext…

ObjectiveTo investigate oncological and reproductive outcomes in patients with mismatch repair-deficient (MMRd) endometrial endometrioid carcinoma (EEC) or atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) undergoing fertility-preserving treatment to …

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the associations between paternal factors (age, semen parameters, body mass index, sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI), and leukocyte count), embryonic ploidy, and the clinical implantation potential of e…

Exosomes, as key mediators of intercellular communication, play a central regulatory role in cellular physiological and pathological processes through their dynamic interaction with the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is a dynamic network co…

Varicocele-induced decline in sperm quality is a common cause of male infertility. While varicocelectomy improves semen parameters, the mechanisms remain unclear. Recent studies suggested that small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs) in sperm play a …

Background/aimsAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive degenerative disease of the retinal macula associated with aging, which is one of the main causes of vision loss in the elderly. This research aims to investigate the me…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis occurs when tissue from the inner lining of the endometrium grows into the muscle wall of the myometrium. Previous studies have suggested that High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) combined with medications may im…

Acute pancreatitis is a complex inflammatory disease with high morbidity and mortality, closely associated with intestinal barrier dysfunction, gut microbiota dysbiosis and abnormal lipid metabolism. Akkermansia muciniphila has been shown t…

BackgroundUreteral reimplantation (UR) is the standard treatment for distal ureteral stricture, yet postoperative anastomotic restenosis impairs outcomes, with conventional imaging unable to quantify urinary tract obstruction and dysfunctio…

This study investigates the molecular mechanism by which USP25 contributes to pancreatic microcirculatory disturbance in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). SAP was induced by retrograde injection of 4% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic …

Abstract Ferroptosis is linked to various diseases, but the role of transferrin (TF) in endometriosis (EM) remains unclear. Expression levels of ferroptosis-related proteins, including transferrin (TF), transferrin receptor (TFRC), and glut…

BackgroundThe Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) ultrasound (US) is a standardized tool for assessing adult adnexal lesions, but its performance in the pediatric population has not been fully validated. This study aimed to v…

"Wen Tong Plaster" is renowned for its therapeutic effects of warming meridians, dispelling cold, and promoting blood circulation. However, its chemical composition and active pharmacological substances have yet to be fully elucidated. In t…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting ~ 10% of reproductive-age women, often causing pelvic pain and infertility. Despite its prevalence, diagnosis remains delayed due to non-specific symptoms and lack of re…

β-Glucuronidase (β-G, EC 3.2.1.31) reverses phase II glucuronidation, and microbial β-G at the gut-liver interface reactivates biliary and circulating conjugates, closing enterohepatic loops for drugs, estrogens, bile acids, and bilirubin. …

Adenomyoma originating from the round ligament of the uterus represents a remarkably uncommon pathological entity. Considering the anatomical course of the round ligament through the inguinal canal, pathological lesions in this structure ma…

BACKGROUND: Long-acting Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs(GnRHa), including leuprolide, goserelin, histrelin, buserelin, triptorelin, have been widely used for a variety of diseases including prostate cancer, breast cancer, endometrios…

Bacterial biofilms can make traditional antibiotics impenetrable and even promote the development of antibiotic-resistant strains. Therefore, non-antibiotic strategies to effectively penetrate and eradicate the formed biofilms are urgently …

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is widely acknowledged as the prevailing reproductive endocrine disorder accompanied by numerous metabolic dysfunctions. However, there has been a lack of systematic examination regarding the amino…

The Hippo pathway regulates many physiological processes, including development, tumor suppression, and wound healing. One understudied Hippo pathway component is PTPN14, an evolutionarily conserved tyrosine phosphatase that inhibits YAP/TA…

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…
