BackgroundNuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are sophisticated and dynamic protein structures that straddle the nuclear envelope and act as gatekeepers for transporting molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. NPCs comprise up to 30 diff…
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…
BackgroundWhile there is a scarcity of studies utilizing strain elastography (SE) for the endometrium, commonly used gynecologic ultrasound instruments are equipped with built-in elastography modalities, primarily SE. With the objective of …
ObjectiveThis study assesses the effectiveness and safety of single-port laparoscopic myomectomy (SPLM) versus conventional laparoscopic myomectomy (CLM).MethodsWe conducted a retrospective case-control study at a university tertiary hospit…
While the link between female reproductive function and cardiovascular health (CVH) is well-established, the association between pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and CVH remains largely unexplored. This study, therefore, sets out to fill t…
IntroductionApoptosis and chronic inflammation are the main phenotypes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) pathogenesis. Cigarette smoke exposure is the leading risk factor for COPD, which causes aberrant airway epithelial struc…
BackgroundAbdominal pregnancy is characterized by the implantation of the gestational sac within the peritoneal cavity, specifically outside the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and cervix. This exceedingly rare form of ectopic pregnancy accounts …

BACKGROUND: Gynecological disorders are a wide range of health problems affecting the female reproductive system, which poses substantial health challenges worldwide. Increasing number of observational studies have associated mood instabili…
Background/aimChronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a common gynecological condition in women with multifactorial etiology. Some studies have revealed that patients with CPP have the same structural and functional changes in the pain matrix in the b…
Objective: To investigate the effect of HIFU treatment for uterine fibroids and adenomyosis on coagulation indicators. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Shanghai First Maternal and Infant Hospital. opulation or Sample: 1189 patie…
BackgroundCuproptosis is a novel copper-dependent mode of cell death that has recently been discovered. The relationship between Cuproptosis-related ncRNAs and breast cancer subtypes, however, remains to be studied.MethodsThe aim of this st…
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) has an East Asian preponderance. It is associated with endometriosis, a benign condition where endometrial (inner lining of the uterus) tissue is found outside the uterus and on the peritoneal surface, in …
Telocytes (TCs) have been identified in various animals. However, information on TCs in the embryos is still very limited. In this work, the developing skin of the silky fowl was sampled for TCs identification by histology, immunohistochemi…
Background and aimsThis network meta-analysis aimed to compare the perioperative efficacy of various minimally invasive hysterectomy procedures for treating benign gynecological diseases and to assess whether vaginal natural orifice translu…
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 …
ObjectiveRectal cancer has a high incidence and its onset age is getting younger. Currently, conventional laparoscopic surgery can no longer meet the clinical requirements for surgical incisions. Natural orifice specimen extraction surgery …
Inadequate endometrial receptivity often results in embryo implantation failure and miscarriage. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a key signaling molecule secreted during early embryonic development, which regulates embryonic maternal …
BackgroundIdiopathic scrotal calcinosis (ISC) is a manifestation of idiopathic calcinosis cutis, and its etiology is still unknown.Case presentationWe report a 36-year-old patient manifested multiple gradually increasing yellowish-white scr…
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine/threonine protein kinase crucial for cellular differentiation, proliferation, and autophagy. It shows a complex role in the endometrium, influencing both normal and pathogenic conditions.…
BACKGROUND: Prior observational research identified dyslipidemia as a risk factor for endometriosis (EMS) but the causal relationship remains unestablished due to inherent study limitations. METHODS: Genome-wide association study data for …
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) among Chinese reproductive-age women toward uterine adenomyosis. METHODS: This web-based cross-sectional study was conducted between April 2023 and Septembe…
The endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) plays a notable role in pathological vascular remodeling. Emerging evidence indicated that long non-coding RNA-regulator of reprogramming (linc-ROR) can p…
BackgroundAnti-angiogenic therapy has become one of the effective treatment methods for tumors. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important regulators of tumorigenesis and angiogenesis in EC. However, the underlying mechanisms o…
BackgroundFemale fertility declines with increased maternal age, and this decline is even more rapid after the age of 35 years. Follicular fluid (FF) is a crucial microenvironment that plays a significant role in the development of oocytes,…
