BACKGROUND: Palmitoylation, a post-translational lipid modification, has garnered increasing attention for its role in inflammatory processes and tumorigenesis. Emerging evidence suggests a potential association between palmitoylation and i…

BACKGROUND: Overweight and obesity can induce an inflammatory milieu in the oocyte microenvironment and are closely associated with reduced assisted reproductive outcomes. OBJECTIVE: How are immune cells, cytokines and lipid profiles alter…

BACKGROUND: To investigate whether endometriosis is associated with the risk of incident nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS: Data were retrieved from Nurses' Health Study II with participants followed up from 1995 to 2017. A…

BACKGROUND: Comprehensive sonographic evaluation of pre- and postmenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding is essential for accurate diagnosis and the optimization of curative outcomes for endometrial malignancy. Microvascular flow im…

BACKGROUND: Predicting clinical pregnancy outcomes in patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) remains challenging owing to the unique characteristics of th…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors of intravenous Leiomyomatosis (IVL), a rare yet recurrent disease. METHODS: This retrospective observational study enrolled 43 patients with pathologically confi…

Nanodrug delivery systems (NDDS) have demonstrated broad application prospects in disease treatment, prevention, and diagnosis due to several advantages, including functionalization capability, high drug-loading capacity, drug stability pro…

BACKGROUND: Endometrial thickness independently predicts pregnancy outcomes in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Thin endometrium always results in implantation failure and worse obstetric-neonatal outcomes. However, it has not been repo…

BACKGROUND: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an agnogenic chronic intestinal inflammatory disease. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell (UMSC) is a potential therapeutic approach against UC; however, the mechanisms underlying their effica…

BACKGROUND: Numerous previous studies have suggested dyslipidemia is possibly linked to endometriosis (EMs). The connection between endometriosis and NHHR remains largely unexplored. Thus, this investigation examined whether NHHR is correla…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a debilitating, chronic disease that affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide. The most common symptom is chronic pelvic pain, which leads to a reduced quality of life and requires lifelo…

BACKGROUND: Some infertile women can undergo spontaneous conception after 4-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (4D-HyCoSy). However, advised period of expectant management after HyCoSy for different tubal patency was rarely rec…

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 …

In β‑thalassemia, excessive α‑globin chain impedes the normal development of red blood cells resulting in anemia. Numerous miRNAs, including miR‑6747‑3p, are aberrantly expressed in β‑thalassemia major (β‑TM), but there are no reports on th…

BACKGROUND: While endometriosis is commonly perceived as a benign gynecological condition, its aggressive biological behavior underscores the critical importance of effective postoperative management. Our research is driven by the ultimate …

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Chikusetsusaponin IVa (CHS IVa) as a natural extract from the Panax japonicus (T.Nees) C.A.Mey (P. japonicus), can regulate the immune responses, such as anti-inflammation, which have been applied in treating…

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between m6A methylation regulators and cell infiltration characteristics in tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), so as to help understand the immune mechanism of early-st…

PURPOSE: To explore the early diagnostic value of superb microvascular imaging (SMI) features within the rotator cuff gap for frozen shoulder. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This prospective study enrolled patients with acute early-stage frozen sho…

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported inconsistent results regarding blastocyst selection with a high day 3 (D3) cell number and the eventual pregnancy outcomes. Thus, in this study, the relationship between the D3 cell number and clin…

Public engagement with research (PEwR) has become increasingly integral to research practices. This paper explores the process and outcomes of a collaborative effort to address the ethical implications of PEwR activities and develop tools t…

INTRODUCTION: Uterine fibroids affect 30%-77% of reproductive-age women and are a significant cause of infertility. Surgical myomectomies can restore fertility, but they often have limited and temporary benefits, with postoperative complica…

Abstract Background Previous studies have reported an association between gut microbial dysbiosis and ovarian diseases, however, it is not clear whether a causal association exists. Methods Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis …

Emerging evidence recognizes aberrant glycosylation as the malignant characteristics of cancer cells, but little is known about glycogenes' roles in endometrial carcinoma (EC), especially the most aggressive subtype carrying TP53 mutations.…

AIM: This study systematically evaluated the potential efficacy of serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) concentration as a diagnostic marker for endometriosis through meta-analysis. Early and accurate diagnosis of endometriosis, a commo…

BACKGROUND: The etiology of premature ovarian insufficiency, that is, the loss of ovarian activity before 40 years of age, is complex. Studies suggest that genetic factors are involved in 20-25% of cases. The aim of this study was to explor…
