Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with cancer-like features, yet the mechanisms linking metabolic dysregulation to immune remodeling during lesion progression remain poorly understood. Here, we identify the ubiquitin E3 ligase…

BackgroundOvarian pregnancies at advanced gestational ages are exceedingly rare in clinical practice. The infrequency of this condition, coupled with the nonspecific nature of its symptoms and signs, renders preoperative diagnosis extremely…

Functional gastrointestinal diseases (FGIDs)/disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) that manifest during menopause are characterized by chronic recurrent gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms associated with fluctuations in sex hormones. Curren…

BACKGROUND: Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an ultra-rare (prevalence ~ 1:2 million), devastating genetic disorder characterized by progressive heterotopic ossification. Crucially, surgical trauma is a potent trigger for cata…

BackgroundUreteral reimplantation (UR) is the standard treatment for distal ureteral stricture, yet postoperative anastomotic restenosis impairs outcomes, with conventional imaging unable to quantify urinary tract obstruction and dysfunctio…

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is an endogenous fatty acid amide that has garnered significant attention due to its potential multiple antitumor mechanisms. This review first explores the current statuses and challenges faced in tumor preventi…

Luminogens with aggregation-induced emission (AIEgens) have attracted increasing attention for biomedical applications, prompting concerns regarding their potential toxicity. Although some studies have reported the in vivo toxicity of AIEge…

Ovarian endometriosis (OEM) is characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue growth within the ovary. In these ectopic lesions, the ectopic epithelium plays a crucial role in OEM progression and has been associated with malignant transformati…

As a major global health threat, tumors present significant clinical challenges due to their heterogeneity, metastatic potential, and therapy resistance. In recent years, non-coding RNAs, particularly microRNAs (miRNAs), have emerged as cru…

Wild blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium Ait.) are North American perennial plants rich in polyphenols, including flavonoids, beneficial to human health. This article provides a summary of the evidence and perspectives presented at an expe…

Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX1) has been reported to play a role in human granulosa cell (GC) dysfunction by binding with long noncoding RNAs in patients with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). 5-Methylcytosine (m5C) methylation is an abun…

BACKGROUND: Spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic, is commonly prescribed for conditions such as heart failure, hypertension, and hyperaldosteronism. This study aims to explore and analyze the safety profile of spironolactone by exam…

In the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC), persistent inflammatory activity increases the risk of recurrence and poor prognosis. Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) can accurately assess the UC inflammation than conventional …

Nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine (AG) is the standard first-line chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and has limited efficacy. This phase 1b/2 study aimed to evaluate SHR-1701 (an anti-PD-L1/TGF-βRII fusi…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine and metabolic disorder with unclear pathogenesis. Increasing evidence suggests that oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to PCOS development. Sirtuins (SIRTs), esp…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a common disease in women of childbearing age, categorized into ovarian, superficial, and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Bladder endometriosis (BE) is a type of DIE with an incidence of approximately 1% among …

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to assess the clinical outcomes of ultrasound (US)-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in patients with breast fibroadenoma (FA) of different sizes.Materials and methodsA total of 88 patients …

Extra-pelvic endometriosis always presents complex diagnostic challenges due to its non-specific symptoms. We describe a rare case of coexisting iatrogenic abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) and thoracic endometriosis (TE) in a 33-year-old …

BackgroundMyofascial pelvic pain syndrome (MPPS) is a common but often underdiagnosed cause of chronic pelvic pain in women, significantly affecting quality of life. Early and accurate identification of patients at risk is essential for imp…

This study aimed to explore the causal link between immunophenotypes and adenomyosis using Mendelian randomization (MR). We conducted a bidirectional MR analysis on 731 immunophenotypes, employing inverse-variance weighted (IVW) as the prim…

BackgroundHyperuricemia (HUA) impairs sperm function via oxidative stress and metabolic dysregulation. This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of density gradient centrifugation (DGC) on HUA-associated sp…

Uterine fibroids are common among women of reproductive age and often recur after treatment. Accurate recurrence prediction is essential for guiding clinical decisions, yet existing models remain inadequate. This study aimed to develop a no…
