OBJECTIVE: Systemic inflammatory response plays a key role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. This study aimed to investigate the association between the aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI), defined as neutrophil count × plat…

BACKGROUND: Sexual health plays a crucial role in the overall health and quality of life of adults. Currently, various Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) exist globally to assess sexual health from different dimensions. However, the …

Bone is highly innervated, and its regeneration is significantly nerve-dependent. Extensive evidence suggests that the nervous system plays an active role in bone metabolism and development by modulating osteoblast and osteoclast activity. …

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common severe bacterial infections in young children, often associated with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). To explore host genetic-microbiota interactions and their clinical implications, we analyz…

BackgroundPrevious studies have focused on the effects of ambient air pollutant levels on assisted reproduction. This research focused on the combined effects of lower concentrations of air pollutants and multiple environmental factors on m…

Premature ovarian failure is a prevalent gynecological endocrine disorder with an increasing incidence rate each year, impacting women's physical and mental health. The causes of POF are poorly understood, but genetic, immune, iatrogenic, e…

BackgroundOxidative stress is a critical mediator in ovarian aging, a key process leading to premature menopause (PM), which is defined as menopause before age 40. While the Oxidative Balance Score (OBS), a composite measure of dietary and …

Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) has been confirmed to suppress inflammation in endometriosis (EMs). Herein, this study investigated whether and how TMP affected NLRP3 inflammasomes and oxidative stress in EMs. After establishment of an EMs rat mo…

RationaleDyspareunia is a common disease affecting the physical and mental health of individuals. There are several reasons for dyspareunia. It is essential to identify the causes of dyspareunia and to implement targeted treatments.Patient …

PurposeThis study aimed to conduct an observational analysis of the association between hysterectomy status and the risk of developing hypertension, and to determine the causality of that relationship through a Mendelian randomization (MR) …

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas and a complex process involving multiple factors, with mitochondrial damage playing a crucial role. Mitochondrial dysfunction is now considered a key driver in the developme…

The risk of endometriosis (EM), which is a common complex gynaecological disease, is related to genetic predisposition. However, it is unclear how genetic variants confer the risk of EM. Here, via Sherlock integrative analysis, we combined …

It has been demonstrated that scar tissue and fibrosis may increase the likelihood of developing malignancies. Specifically, scar tissue has been linked to the occurrence and progression of lung cancer (LC), though the precise mechanisms ne…

Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of high incidence that causes serious reproductive consequences. High estrogen production is a consistently observed endocrine feature of EMS. The present study aims to probe the molecu…

Recent evidence indicates that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play crucial regulatory roles in the pathogenesis and development of endometriosis. Circ_0004712 was found to be differentially expressed in endometriosis. However, the detailed functi…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of our study was to explore the role of circular RNA_0061140 (circ_0061140) in adenomyosis progression and its associated mechanism. DESIGN: We first analyzed the expression pattern of circ_0061140 in endometrial tissue…

BackgroundWith the improvement of living standards in recent years, people are paying increasing attention to neonatal jaundice. Yinzhihuang granule is a common Chinese herbal drug for the treatment of neonatal jaundice. The aim of this pap…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is a common disease in women of childbearing age, leading to sexual dysfunction or loss of libido. We aimed to evaluated the effect of endometriosis on women's sexual function. METHODS: We performed a prospective ca…

Aims: Protein tyrosine phosphatase Src-homology-2-domain-containing phosphatase 2 (SHP2) and adaptor protein Grb2-associated binding protein 2 (GAB2) can bind to each other in various signal transduction. However, the expression of SHP2 and…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role(s) of hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2) and hyaluronan in disease progression of endometriosis and epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced motility changes of endometriotic cells. DESIGN: A case-control experime…

The purpose of this study was to integrate the existing expression profile data on endometriosis (EM)-related tissues in order to identify the differentially expressed genes. In this study, three series of raw expression data were downloade…

As endometrial cancer (EC) is a major threat to female health worldwide, the ability to provide an accurate diagnosis and prognosis of EC is promising to improve its treatment guidance. Since the discovery of miRNAs, it has been realized th…

Interleukin (IL)-34 plays a critical role in cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, inflammation and immunoregulation. Numerous diseases can be attributed to the dysregulation of IL-34 signaling. This study was perfor…

Research questionEndometriosis is characterized by the occurrence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. Collagen triple helix repeat containing-1 (CTHRC1) is known as a tumour-promoting factor in several neoplasms. This study aimed…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition with unclear pathogenesis. Although a dysregulated lncRNA expression profile has been speculated, very few studies have addressed this hypothesis. We determined the differential lncRNA and m…
