Peritoneal fibrosis has been linked to hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) as well as O-linked-N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation) in peritoneal dialysis (PD). Genistein, recognized for its HIF-1α inhibitory and antifibrotic e…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is acknowledged as a risk factor for the development of endometrial cancer (EC), although the precise molecular mechanisms that underpin this association have yet to be fully elucidated. The primary objective…
Decidual regulatory T cells (Tregs) are essential for successful pregnancy outcome. A subset of Tregs, T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein 3-positive regulatory T cells (TregsTim-3+), plays a central role in the accept…
Aberrantly expressed circRNAs affects various anti-tumour immune responses and immune cell regulation. However, the exact function of circGLIS2 on the pathogenesis of EMs remains unclear. In this study, we found that circGLIS2 was upregulat…
BackgroundThin endometrial thickness (EMT) and advanced age are both common risk factors for adverse neonatal outcomes (ANOs). However, studies evaluating the impact of EMT and combined effect of EMT and age on ANOs remain scarce with confl…
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 microorganisms to determ…
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas. Despite of a steadily increasing in morbidity and mortality, there is still no effective therapy. Gut microbial dysbiosis and its derived-metabolites disorder have been sho…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic disease characterized by endometrial-like tissue present outside of the uterus. Macrophages have been confirmed to participate in the development of EMs. Integrin β3 (ITGB3), a β-subunit of the i…
BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the main cause of anovulatory infertility in women of reproductive age, and low-grade chronic inflammation plays a key role in the occurrence and development of PCOS. However, obesity, as a like…
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether endometriosis typology, namely ovarian endometriomas (OE), deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), or superficial endometriosis (SE), correlates with fertility history. DESIGN: Prospective cohort. SETTING: O…
PurposeTo evaluate the insulin resistance in patients with menopause who were newly diagnosed with endometrial cancer and its association with disease development.MethodsThe study included 356 patients with menopause who underwent hysterosc…
BackgroundStudies on association between low-dose aspirin use and ovarian cancer risk were mostly based on self-reported medication use and few had large enough sample size to investigate the potential modification effect by ovarian cancer …
Macrophages are innate immune cells present in all tissues and play an important role in almost all aspects of the biology of living organisms. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by cells and transport their contents (micro RNAs, mRN…
Recent advancements in single-cell technologies have led to rapid developments in the construction of cell atlases. These atlases have the potential to provide detailed information about every cell type in different organisms, enabling the …
Abstract This study explores how quercetin may treat endometriosis (EMs) by combining network pharmacology and transcriptome sequencing approaches. Through network pharmacology, 132 shared targets between quercetin and EMs were identified,…
ObjectivesOur study tries to investigate the effect of the Mediterranean diet (MeDiet) on assisted reproductive treatment outcomes in women after COVID-19 infection.DesignA prospective observational cohort study in the Reproductive and Gene…
The abnormal proliferation and differentiation of oral mucosal fibroblasts (FBs) is the key to the progression of oral submucosal fibrosis. To clarify the mechanism of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB)-induced FBs fibrosis in oral mu…
BACKGROUND: Due to the complex pathogenesis of endometriosis, its early screening and development prediction are still challenging problems in the clinic. OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the significance of miR-375-3p in endometriosis ons…
Recurrent implantation failure (RIF), a major issue in assisted reproductive technology (ART), may be influenced by necroptosis, a form of cell death linked to several diseases. This study was aimed at investigating the involvement of necro…
BackgroundThe 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 pa…
BACKGROUND: Women with a family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer have an increased ovarian cancer risk. Yet it remains uncertain if common ovarian cancer risk factors-especially those that are modifiable-affect this high-risk populat…
Abstract Purpose Endometriosis (EMT) affects millions of women worldwide and is closely associated with the body's response to oxidative stress. The role of oxidative stress markers in the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis is a pot…
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) have been extensively used across numerous industries and consumer goods. Due to their high persistence and mobility, they are ubiquitous in the environment. Exposure to PFAS occurs in people via m…
Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is one of the most dangerous complications in obstetrics, which can lead to severe postpartum bleeding and shock, and even necessitate uterine removal. The abnormal migration and invasion of extravillous trop…
