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,…

Currently, the treatment and prevention of multiple sclerosis (MS) continue to encounter significant challenges. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis has emerged as a crucial research method in the pursuit of new therapeutic strategies. Ac…

Chronic pain is a major cause of suffering. This interferes with daily functioning and is often accompanied by distress. However, current therapeutic strategies for chronic pain are unsatisfactory because of poor understanding of its mechan…

Natural killer (NK) cells, serving as pivotal mediators of innate immunity, play an important role in antitumor immunity. Immune checkpoint can be expressed on the surface of NK cells and meticulously regulates their activation states and e…

PURPOSE: The study aimed to develop a nomogram to predict live birth outcomes in infertile women with adenomyosis undergoing IVF/ICSI treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data were collected from the Center for Reproductive Medicine, Shandong…

Mucinous cystic neoplasm of the liver (MCN-L) is a rare benign tumor accounting for less than 5% of all liver cysts, with MCN-L in the hilar region being exceptionally uncommon and often misdiagnosed due to its complex presentation. A 48-ye…

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) has attracted increasing attention from researchers as an endogenous lipid mediator. It exhibits a unique mechanism of action in alleviating pain, controlling inflammation, and providing neuroprotection. It prima…

This study investigated the relationship between dyslipidemia prior to conception and the risk of preeclampsia (PE) in women pregnant by in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). The retrospective cohort study consisted of 2994 w…

BackgroundUlcerative 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 efficacy…

Endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a biological process in which endothelial cells lose intercellular junctions and endothelial characteristics under specific pathophysiological stimuli and acquire mesenchymal traits. It plays a …

BackgroundUreteral reimplantation plays a crucial role in distal ureteral reconstruction, and the integration of robotic systems has greatly enhanced minimally invasive surgical techniques. This pilot study aims to evaluate the technically …

JOURNAL/nrgr/04.03/01300535-202503000-00032/figure1/v/2024-06-17T092413Z/r/image-tiff Salsolinol (1-methyl-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, Sal) is a catechol isoquinoline that causes neurotoxicity and shares structural similar…

BackgroundMultimorbidity substantially increases health and economic burdens, and reduces productivity in working-age individuals. We conducted a study using data from 393,170 working-age inpatients (18-59 years) in Shaanxi, China, collecte…

Chronic pain is an extremely prevalent healthcare issue that has a profound impact on individuals and society. Sex and sex hormones regulate the pain threshold differently in males and females in pain processing. However, the regulatory mec…

Endometriosis involves ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, yet the spatial transcriptomic and metabolic landscape of ovarian endometriomas remains poorly understood. This investigation presents a comprehensive multi-omics analysis of…

Mesenchymal cells constitute the primary structural support elements within endometriotic lesions, yet their pivotal roles in endometriotic pathogenesis remain largely uncharted. This study aimed to construct a single-cell atlas of endometr…

BackgroundSpontaneous ureteral rupture is a rare and emergent urological entity, with limited literature guiding its diagnosis and management. Its non-specific presentation can lead to delayed recognition, posing risks of severe complicatio…

In this comprehensive review, we delve into the evolution of drug delivery systems in reproductive medicine with a focus on the emerging role of exosomes, a class of extracellular vesicles. Exosomes offer unique advantages in overcoming the…

BackgroundThalassemia is a hereditary blood disorder that can impact fertility due to various factors such as iron overload and endocrine disruption. While the effects of iron overload on fertility outcomes in transfusion-dependent thalasse…

BACKGROUND: Shear wave elastography (SWE) can be used to detect the stiffness of the myometrium and lesion of the uterus, shear wave dispersion (SWD) can be used to detect the viscoelasticity, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be use…

BACKGROUND: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used to alleviate pain associated with endometriosis (EMS), yet the impact of their long-term use on disease progression remains unclear. This study investigates the du…

Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease, yet its complex etiology is not fully understood. Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) exposure disrupts human reproduction, but studies on mixed EDCs and endometriosis ris…

This study aims to assess whether endometriosis causally increases the risk of IBD through Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis and to elucidate potential mechanisms using in vitro experiments. A two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) ana…

BackgroundTransumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (TU-LESS) has been widely used in multiple gynecological fields, but the report on its use during during pregnancy is limited. This study aimed to assess the safety and feasibili…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is characterized by ectopic endometrial tissue, which causes dysmenorrhea, menstruation, and infertility, significantly impairing quality of life. Current treatments-including medications, surgery, and interventional…
