BACKGROUND: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA), the most prevalent form of hair loss, is driven by the dysfunction of dermal papilla cells (DPCs). Emerging evidence implicates DPC senescence in the pathogenesis of AGA; however, the underlying mole…
BACKGROUND: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a clinically heterogeneous autoimmune disease with multifactorial pathogenesis. Although polygenic risk scores (PRSs) have been developed to enable early prediction, their accuracy remains l…
Earlier examinations of how risk factors relate to endometriosis (EMT) have largely depended on observational designs, which arrived at conflicting conclusions. The present approach seeks to probe the causal association between 108 traits a…
OBJECTIVE: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are omnipresent, persistent contaminants associated with rising ovarian cancer incidence; however, the molecular circuitry linking PFAS to ovarian tumorigenesis remains obscure. METHODS…
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a highly prevalent chronic degenerative joint disorder characterized by progressive articular cartilage degeneration, chondrocyte death, and extracellular matrix degradation. Accumulating evidence indicates that…
PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of regressed endometrial hyperplasia (EH) on assisted reproductive technology outcomes, particularly in comparison with infertile women with a relatively normal endometrium. METHODS: This retrospective st…
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a major global public health concern closely linked to the development and progression of various gynaecological disorders, particularly polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometrial cancer. Incretins, a group of g…
Fibrosis is a defining feature of endometriosis (EMS). Our previous single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed myofibroblasts (MFBs) as the predominant cells in ectopic endometrium (ECE), mainly derived from fibroblast-to-myofibroblast…
INTRODUCTION: Hydrosalpinx is one of the common organic causes of infertility, and the accumulation of fluid in this condition can severely affect embryo implantation and development. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We collected fallopian tube fluid…
PURPOSE: ARID1A, encoding a component of the switch/sucrose nonfermentable complex, is frequently mutated in urothelial carcinoma. However, its specific impacts on clinical outcomes and CD8+ T-cell functions in urothelial carcinoma remain p…
Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most serious cardiovascular diseases in the world. Nevertheless, the majority of diagnostic procedures conducted subsequent to the illness do not provide any means to prevent several risks associated…
PURPOSE: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine syndrome that afflicts women of childbearing age, whose specific pathogenesis is unknown. Combined multiomics analysis on it is still lacking. The purpose of this study was to use co…
Clear cell ovarian cancer (CCOC) is the second most common ovarian cancer subtype, accounting for 5%-11% of ovarian cancers in North America. Late-stage CCOC is associated with a worse prognosis compared to other ovarian cancer histotypes, …
BACKGROUND: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly impacted global health and shares several clinical features with ulcerative colitis (UC). However, the existence of a common pathological mechanism between COVID…
PURPOSE: In China, the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection among infertile couples is a significant clinical problem. It is necessary to determine the effect of HBV infection on embryo development. METHODS: The 4301 fresh cycle…
PURPOSE: To evaluate whether prior SARS-CoV-2 infection adversely affects live birth and perinatal outcomes following subsequent frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) and to further investigate whether the time interval between infection and …
BACKGROUND: Phthalate esters (PAEs) are a class of synthetic compounds that are extensively utilized in a range of consumer products, and they significantly affect both environmental conditions and human reproductive health. Especially, man…
Adenomyosis is a common estrogen-dependent disease, characterized by the invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium. It often results in dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and infertility, significantly impacting patients' qualit…
Objective: To observe the effects and safety of dienogest on the volume and symptoms of ovarian endometrioma (OMA). Methods: The clinical data of 75 patients with OMA who underwent treatment with dienogest (2 mg/day) at the First Affiliated…
Endometrioma (OMA), a subtype of endometriosis characterized by the formation of endometriotic cysts in the ovaries, affects 17-44% of individuals diagnosed with endometriosis. Women with OMA often experience compromised fertility, yet the …
Endometrioma (OMA), a subtype of endometriosis characterized by the formation of endometriotic cysts in the ovaries, affects 17-44% of individuals diagnosed with endometriosis. Women with OMA often experience compromised fertility, yet the …
INTRODUCTION: Macranthoidin B is one of the primary and unique triterpenoid saponin metabolites from Lonicera macranthoides Hand. -Mazz, which is used to treat endometriosis (EMS) in traditional Chinese medicine. However, the effect of macr…
As a chronic gynecological disease, endometriosis is defined as the implantation of endometrial glands as well as stroma outside the uterine cavity. Proliferation is a major pathophysiology in endometriosis. Previous studies demonstrated a …
AIMS: With an ambiguous anti-proliferative mechanism, the combination of ferulic acid, ligustrazine, and tetrahydropalmatine (FLT) shows good anti-endometriosis (EMS) activity. In EMS, the expression of Notch pathway and its role in prolife…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common heterogeneous endocrine disease that affecting females in reproductive age. Insulin resistance (IR), an important molecular basis for PCOS, accounts for at least 75% of women carrying this…
