OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the associations between paternal factors (age, semen parameters, body mass index, sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI), and leukocyte count), embryonic ploidy, and the clinical implantation potential of…

Clinical application of mesenchymal stem cells for endometrial repair has been hampered by variability in cell quality, large-scale production, and uncertainty regarding the optimal delivery route. In this study, we investigated the therape…

Cervical cancer remains a major global health burden, yet current screening tools lack precision in identifying which women with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection will progress to high-grade lesions or cancer. Within a network-…

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare pulmonary disorder characterized by impaired surfactant clearance due to alveolar macrophage dysfunction. Leuprorelin acetate, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, is widely us…

BACKGROUND: Abnormalities in ureteral motility often precede morphological changes, and early subtle lesions are easily overlooked, thereby increasing the risk of renal impairment. However, existing imaging assessments tend to focus on qual…

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a rare type of tumor originating from peptidergic neurons and neuroendocrine cells, which exhibit neuroendocrine differentiation and neuroendocrine marker expression. NENs can occur in any part of the bod…

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…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian 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 extreme…

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…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic neuroinflammatory disorder prevalent in women of reproductive age characterized by heterogeneous clinical manifestations, while conventional Western therapies are limited by obvious adverse reactions and uns…

BACKGROUND: Ureteral 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 dysfunct…

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 cancer is a malignant tumor of the female reproductive system with a high mortality rate. Currently, China has the highest number of new ovarian cancer cases worldwide; therefore, preoperative diagnosis is of particular importance. …

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…

UNLABELLED: Primary dysmenorrhea (PDM) is a common cyclic menstrual pain that significantly affects the quality of life for women. Several epidemiological studies have suggested a potential association between PDM and mental health traits, …
