Metal ions-based regulated cell death (RCD), a form of cell death involving metal ions and controlled by one or more cascade signaling pathways, has recently been termed "metalloptosis". Given the rapid advances in understanding metalloptos…
Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of the long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 02381 (LINC02381)/microRNA-let-7g-5p (let-7g-5p)/thrombospondin 1 (THBS1) signaling axis in osteosarcoma (OS). Methods: The exp…
RATIONALE: Intravascular/intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare benign smooth muscle cell tumor with malignant biological behavior. The early diagnosis of IVL is challenging, and the range of treatment options is extensive. PATIENT CON…
Understanding human endometrial dynamics in the establishment of endometrial receptivity remains a challenge, which limits early diagnosis and treatment of endometrial-factor infertility. Here, we decode the endometrial dynamics of fertile …
The rapid accumulation of biomedical cohort data presents opportunities to explore disease mechanisms, risk factors, and prognostic markers. However, current research often has a narrow focus, limiting the exploration of risk factors and in…
Despite intensive development, P2X7 modulators have struggled in translation due to human genetic variability and species-dependent drug responses. Here, we identify PSFL1191, a portal-of-central-pocket (PCP)-site inhibitor selective for hu…
BackgroundMitochondrial genes are involved in the tumor metabolism of ovarian cancer (OC), affecting immune cell infiltration and treatment response. We aimed to utilize mitochondrial genes to predict OC prognosis and immunotherapy response…
Endometriosis is a prevalent gynaecological disorder characterized by estrogen-dependent lesions. Pain-particularly dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and dyspareunia-is the hallmark symptom of endometriosis. While pain mechanisms remain po…
Endometriosis is a chronic disease that jeopardises the quality of life of about 10% of women. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression, function, regulatory mechanism, and relationship with immune cell infiltration of PNMA2 …
OBJECTIVE: Previous results on the association between statin use and risk of ovarian cancer (OC) are inconsistent, warranting further investigation. This study aims to examine the association between statin use and risk of OC in a large st…
OBJECTIVE(S): This study aims to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the revised Morphologic Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) criteria for adenomyosis. METHODS: Retrospective review on 96 patients who underwent hysterectomy following ult…
PurposeThis study aimed to conduct an observational analysis of the association between hysterectomy status and the risk of developing hypertension, and to determine the causality of that relationship through a Mendelian randomization (MR) …
BackgroundAccording to statistics, ovarian cancer (OV) is the most prevalent type of gynecologic malignancy and has the highest mortality rate of all gynecologic tumors. Although several studies have shown that oxidative stress (OS) contrib…
Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in disorders of the female reproductive system, accompanied by a rise in adverse pregnancy outcomes. This trend is increasingly being linked to environmental pollution, particularly through the…
Background: Long-acting Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs(GnRHa), including leuprolide, goserelin, histrelin, buserelin, triptorelin, have been widely used for a variety of diseases including prostate cancer, breast cancer, endometrio…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors in patients with endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer. METHODS: In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 135 ovarian cancer patients …
BackgroundAmphiregulin (AR) is a growth factor that resembles the epidermal growth factor (EGF) and serves various functions in different cells. However, no systematic studies or reports on the role of AR in human oocytes have currently bee…
IntroductionPerioperative urinary tract infections (PUTIs) are common in the United States and are a significant contributor to high healthcare costs. There is a lack of large studies on the risk factors for PUTIs after total hysterectomy (…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is intricately linked to metabolic health. The Cardiometabolic Index (CMI), a novel and readily accessible indicator, is utilized to evaluate metabolic status. This study seeks to investigate the potential correlat…
Endometriosis is a multifactorial disease associated with inflammation. Vitamin D has anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, anti-oxidative, and immunomodulatory effects. Whether vitamin D levels are correlated with endometriosis is a subjec…
BackgroundExposure to metal could impact women's depression risk. However, the connection and mechanisms between metalloestrogens exposure and depression are still not fully understood. We aim to explore the associations between metalloestr…
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…
BackgroundPelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) has emerged as a potential intervention to improve post-total hysterectomy (TH) sexual function. Electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback is an adjunct that may improve outcomes.AimIn this study we a…
Biofilm-related infections (BRIs) present significant challenges owing to drug resistance, adverse immune responses, and implant failure; however, current approaches inadequately cater to the diverse therapeutic requirements at different st…
