As one part of the innate immune response to external stimuli, chronic inflammation increases the risk of various cancers, and tumor-promoting inflammation is considered one of the enabling characteristics of cancer development. Recently, t…
BACKGROUND: Insomnia is increasingly emerging as a significant concern in public health, with a longstanding emphasis on its relationship with overall well-being. Nevertheless, few research has been devoted to investigating the relationship…
PurposeThis study aimed to compare the pregnancy outcomes of letrozole (LE)-induced ovulation and hormone replacement treatment (HRT) in endometrial preparation for frozen embryo transfer (FET) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)…
Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) combined with pelvic mesothelial cyst is a rare condition that can be easily misdiagnosed. Our center presents a case study of this disease to provide clinicians with valuable insights for accurate d…
The substantial apprehension facing young cancer patients revolves around the onset of chemotherapy-induced premature ovarian failure (POF), primarily linked to damage inflicted upon granulosa cells (GCs). The inquiry delves into the protec…
BackgroundEndometrial carcinoma (EC) is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies, with increasing global morbidity and mortality rates. Curcumol, a sesquiterpenoid hemicrystalline compound, exhibits notable pharmacological effects, i…
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) often have decreased fertility. Gene translation is crucial to oocyte meiosis and development. However, it remains unclear how SLE affects this process. Here, we used single-cell transcriptom…
The Ping-Chong-Jiang-Ni Formula (PCJNF), a compound of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has demonstrated remarkable clinical effectiveness and is widely utilized in the treatment of endometriosis (EMs). Previous studies have shown that P…
Background & aimsIntestinal barrier dysfunction plays an important role in the development of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). The aim of our study was to investigate the role of single immunoglobulin IL-1 receptor-related molecule (SIGIRR)…
SuoquanYishen formula (SQYSF), a traditional Chinese herbal prescription for treating diabetic kidney disease (DKD), has demonstrated clinical efficacy in lowering blood glucose and alleviating renal damage. Emerging evidence implicates cel…
The VDR and MTHFR polymorphisms have been linked to many gynecological and obstetrical diseases. However, there is still a pressing need for a systematic review and meta-analysis to synthesize the current evidence on the association between…
Endometriosis is a serious multifocal condition that can involve various pelvic structures, with Pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration being a significant clinical indicator for diagnosis. To circumvent the need for invasive diagnostic proced…
Administering medication is a crucial strategy in improving the prognosis for advanced endometrial cancer. However, the rise of drug resistance often leads to the resurgence of cancer or less-than-ideal treatment outcomes. Prior studies hav…
BackgroundHereditary primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) accounts for 5-10% of all PHPT cases, necessitating genetic testing for diagnosis and management. Among these, hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome (HPT-JT) is an autosomal dominant …
PurposeDecreased ovarian reserve function is mainly characterized by female endocrine disorders and fertility decline. Follicular fluid (FF) exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to regulate the function of granulosa cells (GCs). The …
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) results in approximately 50% of reproductive-age women facing infertility. Currently, no precise model is available to predict successful postoperative pregnancy. METHODS: This study involved 81 patients wit…
Endometriosis is a chronic systemic disease, which results in endometrial-type tissue growing outside the uterus, and affects approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women worldwide. Its aetiology is poorly understood, and there is currently…
BACKGROUND: Haemostasis during ovarian cystectomy is reported to damage the ovarian reserve, but the comparative impacts of three haemostasis methods (bipolar energy, suture and haemostatic sealant) on ovarian reserve in patients with ovari…
Microplastics (MPs) are synthetic solid particles or polymer matrices that range in size from 1 μm to 5 mm. MPs are widely present in the global biosphere, leading to increasing concerns about their impact on human health. In this study, mi…
BackgroundPersistent pancreaticobiliary reflux (PBR) is associated with a high risk of biliary malignancy. This study aimed to evaluate the proportion of PBR in biliary tract diseases and mechanisms by which PBR promoted cholangiocarcinoma …
PurposeTo investigate the association of sleep quality during pregnancy on in vitro fertilization/intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) and natural conceiving (NC), as well as anxiety, depression, and perceived stress.MethodsThis pro…
