OBJECTIVE: To 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 recombinat…

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…

The therapeutic role and mechanisms of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) in cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced premature ovarian failure (POF) remain unclear. In the present study, female mice were treated with CTX to induce POF, followed by SeNPs…

Adenomyosis (AM) is a common non-cancerous condition of the uterus that has significant effects on women's health. Despite its clinical importance, the advancement of dependable non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers has yet to be achieved. Thi…

The global prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is rising due to rapid lifestyle changes. Although females may be less prone to MASLD than males, specific studies on MASLD in females should still be…

BACKGROUND: The 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 an…

Through a combination of single-cell/single-nucleus RNA-Seq (sc/snRNA-Seq) data analysis, immunohistochemistry, and primary macrophage studies, we have identified pathogenic macrophages characterized by Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 3 (TET…

While infections have been implicated in endometriosis pathogenesis, the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) remains unclear. This study combined a meta-analysis of seven studies with a case-control study ( n = 432 surgically treated patient…

OBJECTIVE: The influence of medroxyprogesterone acetate plus conjugated equine estrogens (MPA/CEE) on apolipoproteins and lipoprotein(a) levels has been vastly studied with inconsistent results. These inconsistencies could be attributed to …

BACKGROUND: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a leading cause of low back pain, often linked to inflammation and pyroptosis in nucleus pulposus (NP) cells. The role of Periostin (POSTN) in IDD remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: This study…

The rapid accumulation of biomedical cohort data presents opportunities to explore disease mechanisms, risk factors, and prognostic markers. However, current research often has a narrow focus, limiting the exploration of risk factors and in…

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is identified as a severe chronic immune-related disorder in pancreas, including two subtypes. In this study, pancreatic lesions in patients diagnosed as either type 1 AIP or type 2 AIP are examined, and these …

Spalt-like transcription factor 4 (SALL4) plays a vital role in the progression of many human diseases. However, the role and mechanism of SALL4 regulates in keloid formation remain unclear. The mRNA levels of SALL4 and ubiquitin-specific p…

BACKGROUND: Vitamins, as essential trace organic compounds for the human body, are crucial substances in the maintenance of normal reproductive function. Nevertheless, the effects of vitamins on the activation of primordial follicles and th…

Advanced maternal age (AMA, ≥35 years) women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) face reduced live birth rates (LBR) and remain a major clinical challenge. In a large randomized trial, Zishen Yutai Pill (ZYP) improved LBR in t…

Oxidative stress dysfunction has recently been found to be involved in the pathogenesis of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). Previously, we found that advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) in plasma were elevated in women with PO…

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether co-treatment of repeated GnRHa triggers with GnRH antagonist protocols can improve the clinical outcomes in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET) procedures. …

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Vaginal Microecology Evaluation System (VMES) in assessing the dynamics of the vaginal microbiome (VM) throughout the process of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF…

BACKGROUND: Observational studies have found a correlation between the levels of blood lipids and the development and progression of endometriosis (EM). However, the causality and direction of this correlation is unclear. This study aimed t…

Endometriosis (EM) is a common gynecologic condition that often leads to infertility in women of reproductive age. Cell adhesion molecule 2 (CADM2) is involved in maintaining cell adhesion and polarity, as well as suppressing tumors. Howeve…

PURPOSE: Poor ovarian response (POR) is a big challenge for in vitro fertilization. The traditional Chinese medicine, Cai's Prescription of Tonifying Kidney and Strengthening Vitals (Cai's Prescription) has yielded satisfactory results for …

High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most common type of epithelial ovarian cancer with insidious onset, rapid growth, and invasive spread. Here, we reported the diagnosis and treatment of a 53-year-old patient with a history of …

BACKGROUND: Evidence 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…

BACKGROUND: In the past quite a long time, intraoperative cholangiography(IOC)was necessary during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Now magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is the main method for diagnosing common bile duct …

Early pregnancy loss (EPL) is a common event in human reproduction and is classified into histological subtypes such as hydropic abortion (HA) and hydatidiform moles, including complete hydatidiform moles (CHMs) and partial hydatidiform mol…
