Protein kinases, as one of the most important human enzymes, are signaling molecules that regulate almost all cell activities, including growth, cell division and metabolism. Dysfunction of these cellular pathways can lead to a variety of h…

BACKGROUND: Primary dysmenorrhea (PDM), as a form of chronic pelvic pain, has a complex pathophysiology involving hormonal factors, central nervous system alterations, and maladaptive pain cognition. Previous neuroimaging studies have demon…

Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) remains a major challenge in assisted reproductive technology, and the molecular mechanisms underlying endometrial receptivity are incompletely understood. This study aimed to comprehensively characteriz…

BACKGROUND: In mammals, precise regulation of primordial follicle activation is essential for maintaining the female reproductive lifespan. In this study, we demonstrated that the vitamin D receptor (VDR) is expressed in both pre-granulosa …

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is associated with a substantially higher cardiovascular risk than essential hypertension, a disparity that cannot be fully explained by blood pressure elevation alone. Clinical studies consistently demonstrate th…

AIMS/BACKGROUND: Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a minimally invasive therapeutic option for adenomyosis (AM). However, its clinical effectiveness in patients with comorbid gynecologic disorders remains unclear. This study aimed to eva…

Background/Objectives: The diagnosis of endometriosis (EM) remains challenging due to the lack of a perfect diagnostic standard and the poor concordance between clinical symptoms and lesion severity. Although laparoscopy is widely used in c…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of oliceridine versus sufentanil in patients undergoing total laparoscopy hysterectomy. METHODS: In this double-blind, randomized controlled trial, 80 patients scheduled for electi…

BACKGROUND: In recent years, microRNAs have attracted increasing attention for their potential diagnostic and prognostic value across various diseases. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of mi…

BACKGROUND: Early-life exposures may influence long-term reproductive health, but comprehensive population-based evidence remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the associations between six early-life factors (long-term/recurrent ant…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease with high recurrence rates after surgery and the lesions keep unlimited proliferative capacity. The effect of garcinol on cell proliferation has not been investigated in endometriosis. Herein,…

OBJECTIVE: To apply an MR-PheWAS to infer causality between NSW and multiple health outcomes. METHODS: This study used MR-PheWAS to assess the causal effects of NSW on 18,115 health traits, applying IVW, MR-Egger, Wald ratio, and sensitivi…

BACKGROUND: Non-neoplastic gynecological diseases substantially impact women of childbearing age (WCBA), contributing to global burden. Despite growing awareness, disparities in healthcare access remain widespread across regions and socioec…

Endometriosis (EM) is an intractable gynecological condition with uncertain etiology. Gut microbiota have been increasingly implicated in EM, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we identify a gut microbe-metabolite-uterus ax…

Hydrogels, characterized by their porous network structures and microenvironment-responsive properties, have been widely explored for tumor embolization. Physically or dynamically crosslinked hydrogels-such as ionic, hydrogen-bonded, or sup…

This single-centre retrospective study (100 women with endometrial polyps, mean age 41.8 ± 8.2 years) investigated the association between endometrial polyps and endometriosis. Endometriosis was confirmed in 13 % of patients. Multiple polyp…

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread degenerative joint disorder manifesting as chronic pain, functional impairment, and progressive disability, imposing a substantial burden on global public health. Despite extensive research, the precise m…

BACKGROUND: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a highly fibrotic and deeply invasive subtype of endometriosis that causes severe pelvic pain, infertility and marked impairment of quality of life. Metabolic, microbial and immune distur…

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious neurological system disease. After SCI, a series of cascade reactions can cause irreversible damage, with a high disability rate and mortality rate. The complexity of the pathological mechanism of SCI l…

BACKGROUND: Abnormalities in ureteral motility often precede morphological changes, and early subtle lesions are easily overlooked, thereby increasing the risk of renal impairment. However, existing imaging assessments tend to focus on qual…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterine cavity and is associated with pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Although several theori…

Exosomes, as key mediators of intercellular communication, play a central regulatory role in cellular physiological and pathological processes through their dynamic interaction with the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is a dynamic network co…

PURPOSE: Infants born after assisted reproductive technology (ART) have more adverse health outcomes than spontaneously conceived infants. Evidence on the impact of ART on the offspring's visual system, particularly refractive errors (REs),…

Gynecological cancers present significant therapeutic challenges due to heterogeneity, drug resistance, and the lack of precise diagnostic tools. Selenium (Se), an essential trace element with intrinsic anticancer activity, has emerged as a…

INTRODUCTION: In this exploratory case-control study, we investigated the potential associations of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), β-human chorionic gonadotrophin (β-HCG), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and leuk…
