Excess body fat and its distribution are known to influence female reproductive function; however, the relationship between emerging body fat-related indices and infertility remains insufficiently explored. This study aimed to investigate t…
Mesothelioma cysts are benign tumor-like lesions derived from mesothelial cells. They mainly affect the peritoneum of the pelvic and abdominal cavities, and are more commonly found in the mesentery and greater omentum, while they are less l…
BackgroundTo compare the efficacy of modified gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocols combining clomiphene citrate (CC) or letrozole (LE) versus a conventional antagonist protocol in patients with normal ovarian reserve, …
BACKGROUND: The optimal interpregnancy interval (IPI) before reinitiating frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) after pregnancy loss remains uncertain, particularly in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology. Current guidelines reco…
IntroductionLuteinizing hormone (LH) is critical for follicular development and IVF pregnancy outcomes, but evidence linking trigger-day serum LH levels to IVF-ET outcomes in overweight patients is scarce. This study investigated the impact…
IntroductionPoor ovarian response (POR) remains a major obstacle in assisted reproductive technology, yet the follicular microenvironmental determinants of impaired ovarian sensitivity are poorly understood. This study aimed to characterize…
PurposePrecocious puberty (PP) is a pediatric endocrine disorder. Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disruptor. This study aimed to computationally investigate BPA-associated PP targets and mechanisms via network toxicology and molecular dyn…
BackgroundEndometrial dysfunction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) significantly contributes to adverse pregnancy outcomes, including recurrent implantation failure and high miscarriage rates. However, the specific roles of in…
INTRODUCTION: Adenomyosis, which affects > 20% of reproductive-age women, is a major cause of infertility. Defective decidualization of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) is a key pathogenic feature of adenomyosis; however, the underlying red…
The prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing worldwide, along with the associated common comorbidities of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in later life. Motivated by evidence for a strong genetic component, our prior genome-…
Abdominal pregnancy is a special type of ectopic pregnancy that require careful evaluation for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Detailed clinical presentations, surgical procedures, and histopathological examinations of five c…
The JAK-STAT signaling pathway serves as a central regulator of diverse cellular processes encompassing proliferation, apoptosis, inflammation, and differentiation. Specifically, extracellular ligands such as interleukins, and colony-stimul…
BackgroundPerfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been shown to disrupt normal follicular development and ovulation. However, it is unknown which specific PFAS in follicular fluid negatively impact oocyte development and e…
Ovarian cancer (OC), one of the most common gynecological cancers, is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage. High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is a histological subtype of OC that accounts for approximately 70% of all OC cases. erb-…
Ovarian cancer (OC) is a highly lethal gynecologic malignancy because of the absence of specific early symptoms and reliable biomarkers, most OC patients are often diagnosed at advanced stages, resulting in poor prognosis. Traditional tissu…
BACKGROUND: The causal bridge from environmental exposure to endometriosis (Ems) biology remains incompletely defined. Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is repeatedly implicated in elevated Ems risk, yet actionable molecular anchors linking…
BackgroundOocyte vitrification, a widely utilized assisted reproductive technology for fertility preservation, can address emergencies arising from the unavailability of sperm from the male partner on the day of oocyte retrieval. However, t…
BackgroundThe plasma concentration of endoxifen, the active metabolite of tamoxifen, might be affected by different CYP2D6 genotypes in patients with breast cancer, but solid evidence is still lacking in Asian patients. This prospective stu…
In the field of treatment and prevention of immune-related bone diseases, significant challenges persist, necessitating the urgent exploration of new and effective treatment methods. However, most existing Mendelian randomization (MR) studi…
Mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, orchestrate a plethora of critical functions, including energy production, metabolic regulation, programmed cell death, and signal transduction. Their pivotal role in the pathogenesis of numerous di…
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…
The Body Roundness Index (BRI) is an innovative anthropometric measure reflecting body shape and obesity, increasingly recognized as a potential predictor of infertility, warranting further exploration. This research employed a cross-sectio…
Abnormal post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a crucial role in tumor initiation and progression. However, the mechanisms by which lncRNAs, as emerging epigenetic regulators, mediate PTMs remain largely unexplored. This review provi…
BACKGROUND: To evaluate maternal and perinatal outcomes in women with different adenomyosis phenotypes and to assess the impact of placental attachment site in patients with intrinsic adenomyosis. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study a…
Performing robotic hysterectomy (RH) on large uteri is a significant challenge. This study aims to investigate the impact of various risk factors on surgical outcomes and to identify the most effective surgical approach for performing RH on…
