Existing medical treatments for endometriosis-related pain are often ineffective, underscoring the need for new therapeutic strategies. In this study, we applied a computational drug repurposing pipeline to stratified and unstratified disea…
UNLABELLED: The objectives of this study are to examine the disparities in serum and intestinal tissue metabolites between a perimenopausal rat model and control rats and to analyze the diversity and functionality of intestinal microorganis…
Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue (glands and stroma) outside the confines of the uterus and often involves vital organs such as the intestines and urinary system. Endometriosis is consider…
Ferroptosis, caused by disorders of iron metabolism, plays a critical role in various diseases, making the regulation of iron metabolism essential for tissue repair. In our analysis of degenerated intervertebral disc tissue, we observe a po…
BACKGROUND: Nephrogenic adenoma (NA) is a rare benign tumor that can develop at any site of the urinary system, with the bladder being the most common, followed by the urethra, ureters, renal pelvises, etc. Currently, it is unclear what the…
Fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive system. Most patients with fibroids are asymptomatic, but the presence of fibroids can still cause some abnormal clinical symptoms, such as increased menstrual volume, ab…
RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the metabolic characteristics of follicular fluid in patients with ovarian endometriosis undergoing IVF? DESIGN: This was an exploratory cohort study on endometriosis. In total, 19 infertile patients with ovaria…
OBJECTIVES: The annual prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is increasing, and the lack of effective treatments imposes a substantial burden on both patients and society. The formation of nasal polyps in patients with CRS is closely r…
BACKGROUND Endometriosis is a condition where uterine lining tissue grows outside the uterine cavity, commonly on the ovaries and pelvic peritoneum, but can also occur in rare locations such as the cervix, lungs or pleura. Cervical endometr…
Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide. NLR Family CARD Domain Containing 5 (NLRC5) plays an important role in tumorigenesis. However, its effect and mechanism in CC remains unclear. In this study, we ai…
BACKGROUND: The appropriate use of obstetric blood transfusion is crucial for patients with placenta previa and prenatal anemia. This retrospective study aims to explore the correlation between prenatal anemia and blood transfusion-related …
Introduction: According to traditional Chinese veterinary medicine, endometritis is caused by a combination of Qi deficiency, blood stasis, and external evil invasion. Salvia miltiorrhiza is a traditional Chinese medicine that counteracts b…

INTRODUCTION: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a condition characterized by ovarian dysfunction occurring before the age of 40, and its etiology is multifactorial, including genetic, immunological, infectious, environmental, and iat…
Non-persistent endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are of significant concern due to their reproductive toxicity. Previous research reported a relationship between a single type of EDCs and endometriosis. Yet, evidence regarding mixed exp…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the base of the tongue harbours a transformation zone (TZ), i.e., an initiation site for papillomavirus infection, analogous to that in the uterine cervix by examining the histolog…
Clear cell carcinoma is a rare and very aggressive subset of cervical cancer, with poor outcome if diagnosed at advanced stage. There are few data available on the optimal management of this histotype, and treatment recommendations that inc…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of zoledronic acid (ZA) on periodontal indices, serum inflammatory markers, and bone metabolism in postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) patients with periodontitis (PD). METHODS: A total of 113 PMO+PD cas…
The deregulation of fatty acid metabolism plays a pivotal role in cancer. Our objective is to construct a prognostic model for patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC) based on genes related to fatty acid metabolism-related genes (FAMGs). R…
BACKGROUND: To investigate the existence and degree of correlation between benign ovarian tumors and physiological indicators such as reproductive hormones and tumor markers. METHODS: A total of 150 patients with benign ovarian tumors admi…
OBJECTIVES: To compare the clinical characteristics and prognosis of women with clear cell versus high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 50 cases patients with ovarian clea…
