BACKGROUND: The role of estrogen in liver cancer cells has attracted attention, but its specific actions and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. METHODS: Flow CytoMetry and Western blotting were used to investigate the mechanism of HOXA1…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Sepsis-related acute lung injury (S-ALI) had become an important public health issue worldwide. However, the mechanism of S-ALI was still not fully understood. This study aims to investigate the possibility of exos…

BACKGROUND: Substantial impacts on the female reproductive system have been definitively linked to heightened levels of serum uric acid. However, evidence directly linking increased serum uric acid levels to endometriosis in women remains s…

Transient receptor potential melastatin M3 (TRPM3) channels have been recognized as a pain transducer in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in recent years. TRPM3 activation initiates neurogenic inflammation and is required for the developm…

Female infertility represents a significant reproductive health issue that critically affects global fertility rates. In this study, we utilized the most recent data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2021. Initially, we assessed…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disease defined by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Gut microbiota has emerged as potent inducer for chronic inflammatory disease, yet whether its mecha…

Endometriosis (EM) is a non-cancerous disease that exhibits certain tumor-like properties. While hormonal therapies and surgical excision are standard treatments with proven efficacy in alleviating EM symptoms, they are often accompanied by…

Autoimmune pancreatitis is a fibroinflammatory subtype of chronic pancreatitis resulting from aberrant immune responses. Currently, there are two forms of autoimmune pancreatitis: type 1 (T1-AIP) or lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing pancreatitis…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) intrauterine perfusion on endometrial receptivity and pregnancy outcomes in patients with implantation failure. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included p…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the influencing factors of polyspermy in long-term fertilization during in vitro fertilization (IVF) with antagonist protocol. METHODS: This was a retrospective case-control study. Patients with secondary infertility …

Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare subtype of benign smooth muscle tumor that can exhibit malignant-like biological behavior. Originating in the uterus, IVL grows in mass-like formations within small veins and can extend into the in…

BACKGROUND: The aetiology and pathogenesis of adenomyosis remain unclear. This study utilised untargeted metabolomics to explore the aberrant amino acid metabolism in adenomyosis. Among the studied metabolites, hydroxyproline is known to pr…

Iron is an essential micronutrient element for human. It participates in energy metabolism, enzyme activation, immune system and other metabolic functions. In this review, the potential role of iron in female reproductive health were consid…

BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis (AP) can be mild and self-limited, but it can also become severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and lead to multi-organ dysfunction. It is still difficult to identify patients who may develop severe disease at an ea…

Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease characterized by the invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium of uterus, the pathological mechanism of which remains unclear yet. Disturbed lipid metabolism extensively affe…

BACKGROUND: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a ubiquitous sexually transmitted infection globally, frequently associated with sexual behaviors characterized by increased frequency and multiple partnerships. The relationship between v…

BACKGROUND: Menstrual cycle characteristics are potential indicators of hormonal exposures and may also signal cardiovascular disease risk factors, both of which are relevant to cognitive health. However, there is scarce epidemiological evi…

Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is a common malignancy of the female reproductive system, often diagnosed at advanced stages due to the lack of reliable early biomarkers. Gene methylation has emerged as a key epigenetic mechanism in cancer devel…

BACKGROUND: Endometrial cancer (EC), a type of uterine cancer, is witnessing a global increase in incidence. Despite advancement in diagnosis and treatment, metastatic or recurrent EC often exhibits a poor prognosis, necessitating novel the…

Chronic pain imposes incalculable health and economic burdens, affecting more than 30% of the global population in published studies. Optimal management of chronic pain is imperative for individuals experiencing such distress. Nevertheless,…

Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) often have decreased fertility. Gene translation is crucial to oocyte meiosis and development. However, it remains unclear how SLE affects this process. Here, we used single-cell transcriptom…

BACKGROUND: Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is vital for embryo implantation and decidualization. Whether COX2/mPGES1/PGE2 pathway is essential for mouse and human decidualization remains unclear. RESULTS: This study showed that mPGES1 was highly …

PURPOSE: To investigate and compare the clinical characteristics and risk factors between intrinsic and extrinsic adenomyosis (AM), as well as the differences in their perioperative management and findings in the two subtypes. METHODS: Thi…

BACKGROUND: Preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) has been widely utilized to select euploid embryos in patients carrying balanced chromosomal rearrangements (BCRs) by chromosome copy number anal…

OBJECTIVES: To estimate the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) and its subtypes among nulliparous Chinese women with associated risk factors. The prevalence of UI among those living in urban or rural communities was also analysed with …
