BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common, chronic, estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder that significantly affects patients' quality of life. However, the disease burden and its trends may be undergoing significant changes, and comprehens…
BackgroundThe prevention, management, and treatment of female cancers among women of childbearing age (WCBA) are crucial strategies for achieving the objectives outlined in the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Breast Cancer Initiative…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of endometrial polyps (EP) on postoperative pregnancy outcomes in infertile women with endometriosis (EMs). METHODS: PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, SinoMed, and WanFang Data databases wer…
BACKGROUND: To explore the impact of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) optimization concept process on the perioperative period of gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. METHODS: This retrospective observational study included patients who…
As one part of the innate immune response to external stimuli, chronic inflammation increases the risk of various cancers, and tumor-promoting inflammation is considered one of the enabling characteristics of cancer development. Recently, t…
Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder worldwide that significantly impairs the quality of life of patients and imposes a substantial economic burden. The limited efficacy and adverse effects of current pharmacological and surg…
Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is a common malignancy of the female reproductive system, often diagnosed at advanced stages due to the lack of reliable early biomarkers. Gene methylation has emerged as a key epigenetic mechanism in cancer devel…
Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory disorder featured by infertility and pain. The role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) in EMs has been evidenced. This study investigated the molecular mechanism of METTL14-m6A-KLF4 modulating macropha…
Mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, orchestrate a plethora of critical functions, including energy production, metabolic regulation, programmed cell death, and signal transduction. Their pivotal role in the pathogenesis of numerous di…
IntroductionThe nuclear receptor TR4 binding protein, TRA16, has been implicated in lung carcinogenesis; however, its broader role across diverse human cancers remains poorly understood. Understanding TRA16's involvement in cancer biology c…
BACKGROUND: Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is vital for embryo implantation and decidualization. Whether COX2/mPGES1/PGE2 pathway is essential for mouse and human decidualization remains unclear. RESULTS: This study showed that mPGES1 was highly e…
The present study aimed to investigate the role of 6‑phosphofructo‑2‑kinase/fructose‑2,6‑biphosphatase 4 (PFKFB4) in endometrial cancer cells and to explore its potential molecular mechanisms. PFKFB4 expression in endometrial cancer tissues…
BackgroundInsulin resistance(IR) is a key mechanism underlying both obesity and metabolic syndrome, with significant implications for the onset and progression of female infertility. This study systematically examines the associations betwe…
PurposeTo investigate the applicability and safety of the blastocyst grading system for borderline blastocysts assessed by measurement of the inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) parameters.MethodsA total of 361 borderline blastocys…
ObjectiveTo assess the efficacy of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) compared to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) alone in couples undergoing ICSI treatment because of severe male infertility.DesignMulticentre,…
Primary cilia are antenna-like organelles that sense extracellular signals and function as signaling hubs essential for vertebrate development and homeostasis. Decidualization is crucial for pregnancy establishment and maintenance in both h…
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the distribution of molecular signatures in endometriosis- associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) and to develop a prognostic model based on these molecular signatures. METHODS: We retrospectively analy…
IntroductionMinimally invasive techniques have been widely adopted for hysterectomy, including Transumbilical Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Surgery (TU-LESS) and Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES). However,…
BackgroundUlcerative 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 efficacy…
We present the case of a 39-year-old Chinese woman who presented with a palpable mass in her abdominal wall and pelvic cavity 9 years after undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy. Six abdominal wall fibroids, 18 intramural fibroids, 1 posterior…
Fertility in women decreases with age, but the molecular basis for age-related, unexplained infertility remains elusive. Here, we reveal distinct transcriptome changes in oocytes and surrounding cumulus cells from women in their mid-thirtie…
Endometriosis is a chronic condition with limited therapeutic options. The molecular aberrations promoting ectopic attachment and interactions with the local microenvironment sustaining lesion growth have been unclear, prohibiting developme…
PurposeThis study aimed to explore the roles of spermatozoal sialidase NEU1 and NEU3 in affecting the fertilization rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF), and whether sperm sialidase NEU1 and NEU3 can be used as predictors of IVF outcome.Mat…
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) signaling through EP2 and EP4 receptors is crucial in regulating inflammation, pain, and cancer progression. While selective and dual antagonists for these receptors hold therapeutic potential, their binding mechanis…
The female reproductive system (FRS) exhibits unique immunological characteristics, balancing defense against pathogens with tolerance to sperm and semi-allogeneic embryos. Key players include decidual natural killer (dNK) cells, immune che…
