OBJECTIVE: This study aims to construct a knowledge map of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)-cancer research through bibliometric analysis to elucidate its developmental trajectory and global research landscape, and further employ bioinforma…

BACKGROUND: Chronic endometritis (CE) has been widely recognized as a potential cause of infertility, however, access to effective treatment is a formidable challenge due to the rudimentary understanding of the pathogenesis of persistent CE…

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a prevalent malignancy; however, the role of kinesin light chain 3 (KLC3) in OC remains unclear. The present study conducted a comprehensive investigation of KLC3 using bioinformatics analysis, as well as in vitro and…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis increases ovarian cancer (OC) risk through genetic mutations, chronic inflammation, and hormonal dysregulation, yet the underlying molecular pathways remain underexplored. This study aims to identify endometriosis-a…

BACKGROUND: Endometrial cancer (EC), a type of uterine cancer, is witnessing a global increase in incidence. Despite advancement in diagnosis and treatment, metastatic or recurrent EC often exhibits a poor prognosis, necessitating novel the…

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas accompanied with intestinal injury, and effective therapeutic modalities are still highly lacking. Herein, a facile and effective nanotherapeutics (pHA@IBNCs) is dev…

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most lethal malignancy of the urinary system, with limited treatment options due to drug resistance and the adverse effects associated with current therapies. This review aims to systematically examine the …

BACKGROUND: Alarelin acetate, a synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue, is widely used to manage endometriosis and hormone-sensitive malignancies. Although its safety profile is generally favorable, we report the first doc…

OBJECTIVE: Anogenital distance (AGD) is a postnatal marker of in utero exposure to androgens and anti-androgens, and a predictor of reproductive health. We examined the association between gestational exposure to phthalates and AGD in male …

Preeclampsia is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy characterized by chronic placental ischemia and systemic maternal organ damage. The placenta is rich in blood vessels containing various types of cells, and preeclampsia is now widely acc…

Peptide- and protein-based therapeutics offer realized and potential benefits to health, due to their potent bioactivity, high specificity, and favorable safety characteristics. However, their widespread clinical application is constrained …

BACKGROUND: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an agnogenic chronic intestinal inflammatory disease. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell (UMSC) is a potential therapeutic approach against UC; however, the mechanisms underlying their effica…

BACKGROUND: Panax ginseng Meyer is a well-known herb in traditional Chinese medicine, with ginsenosides being its primary bioactive components. Among these, 20(S)-protopanaxadiol (20(S)-PPD) has demonstrated anti-tumor effects in various ca…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation between antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) and pregnancy loss (PL), and to observe its impact on the pregnancy outcomes of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET…

Cilia in the fallopian tubes (CFT) play an important role in female infertility, but have not been explored comprehensively. This review reveals the detection techniques for CFT function and morphology, and the related analysis of female in…
