BACKGROUND: Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality and morbidity. The etiology of postpartum hemorrhage exhibits variations in relation to the mode of birth; consequently, risk factors for massive transfusi…

Ligand-dependent transcription factors of the nuclear receptor (NR) family regulate diverse aspects of metazoan biology, enabling communications between distant organs via small lipophilic molecules. Here, we examined the impact of each of …

OBJECTIVE: While infertility affects about 15% of women during their reproductive years, its long-term impact on stroke mortality after this period remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the association between infertility and stro…

OBJECTIVE: Very few and conflicting data are available regarding the correlation between circulating carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) levels and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and its components including albuminuria and a low estimated gl…

OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the relationship between cardiovascular health (CVH), as quantified by the American Heart Association's Life's Essential 8 (LE8) metric, and female infertility, utilizing data from the National Health and …

Endometriosis (EM), also known as Zhengjia in traditional Chinese medicine, is a common disease that significantly impacts women's health. An integrated treatment approach combining traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine ha…

SEM) group was duplicated from the second panel of 5B (SCEA) group.Additionally, the third panel of 5B (SCEA group) was partially duplicated from the first panel of 5C (SCEB group).The original Figure 5 and accompanying legend appear below.

Heterogeneous cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play important roles in cancer progression. However, the specific biological functions and regulatory mechanisms involved in endometrial cancer have yet to be elucidated. We aimed to explor…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, a prevalent gynecological disease, has an unclear pathogenesis. Micronutrients play a crucial role in disease development, which has led to an investigation of their association with endometriosis. METHODS: In th…

PURPOSE: To investigate potential differences in pregnancy outcomes among patients with regular menstruation who underwent frozen-thawed embryo transfer using natural cycle (NC) or hormone replacement therapy (HRT). METHODS: This study ret…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, a complex gynecological condition, involves inflammation and immune dysregulation. The vaginal microbiota, characterized by its diversity, is an integral part of the vaginal microecology-interacting with vaginal a…

In the realm of cancer research, the tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a crucial role in tumor initiation and progression, shaped by complex interactions between cancer cells and surrounding non-cancerous cells. Cytokines, as essential imm…

PURPOSE: This study aims to create and validate a clinical model that predict the probability of blastocyst formation in IVF/ICSI-ET cycles. METHODS: This study employed a retrospective methodology, gathering data from 4961 cleavage-stage …

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a heritable, complex chronic inflammatory disease, for which much of the causal pathogenic mechanism remain unknown.Despite the high prevalence of ovarian chocolate cyst, its origin is still under debate. MET…

Several studies have shown interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), a chronic condition that poses challenges in both diagnosis and treatment, is associated with painful pelvic floor muscles (PFM) and altered neural drive to th…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a complicated and enigmatic disease that significantly diminishes the quality of life for women affected by this condition. Increased levels of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) mRNA and telomerase a…

STUDY QUESTION: Does abnormal serotonin homeostasis contribute to impaired endometrial decidualization in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF)? SUMMARY ANSWER: Abnormal serotonin homeostasis in patients with RIF, which is acc…

Endometrial collagen I undergoes dynamic degradation and remodelling in response to endometrial stromal cell (ESC) decidualization and embryo implantation. However, excessive collagen I deposition in the endometrium during the implantation …

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of coils plus glue (CPG) in slope embankment technology vs coils plus sclerosant (CPS) in treating reflux-type pelvic venous disorders. METHODS: The analysis included pat…

ObjectiveTo explore the impact of the level of differentiation in a minimum of two follicles with a diameter of ≥18 mm on the outcome of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) administration.Met…

In this study, we analyzed the clinical efficacy of Zishen Yutai pills (ZSYTP) combined with metformin hydrochloride on infertile women diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (I…

BACKGROUND: Recent evidence suggests a crucial biological role for Circular RNAs (circRNAs) in keloid diseases, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study explored the biological effects and molecular mechanisms of hsa_circ_00…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that affects approximately 5 %∼10 % of reproductive-aged women. Zinc (Zn), selenium (Se), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co) and molybdenum (Mo) are essential trace elements and are very imp…
