Catalpol, an iridoid glycoside predominantly derived from the fresh or dried root tuber of Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch (a member of the Scrophulariaceae family), it is a representative compound with the highest content in Rehmannia glutinos…

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), particularly chemotherapy-induced ovarian failure (CIOF), severely compromises the reproductive and endocrine health of young women. Current fertility-preserving strategies, such as cryopreservation an…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder characterized by reproductive and metabolic disturbances, which causes a chronic lack of ovulation that leads to increased incidence of atypical endometrial hyperplasia and …

PurposeAccurate prognostic prediction remains a significant challenge in the management of low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC), a rare and molecularly distinct histologic subtype. This study aimed to develop a prediction model visualize…

Cardiac fibrosis contributes to adverse cardiac remodeling and loss of heart function eventually leading to heart failure (HF). Resident cardiac fibroblasts are the principal source of myofibroblasts that produce extracellular matrix protei…

BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted laparoscopic single-site hysterectomy is popular among patients and surgeons due to good cosmetic outcomes and fast recovery. However, questions remain such as loss of triangulation and instrument collision. Our…

Virulence factor genes (VFGs) play pivotal roles in bacterial infections and have been identified within the human gut microbiota. However, their involvement in chronic diseases remains poorly understood. Here, we establish an expanded VFG …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanometer-sized lipid bilayer vesicles released by cells, playing a crucial role in mediating cellular communication. This review evaluates the effect of EVs on early embryonic development in vitro by system…

Invasive hydatidiform mole, a form of gestational trophoblastic neoplasm in reproductive-age women, poses a significant threat to life due to its associated signs and symptoms. This case report details the management of a 24-year-old Chines…

Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue (glands and stroma) outside the confines of the uterus and often involves vital organs such as the intestines and urinary system. Endometriosis is consider…

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a clinical syndrome of ovarian dysfunction characterized by the abnormal alteration of hormone levels such as FSH and E2. POI causes infertility, severe daily life disturbances, and long-term health …

The application of laser technology in the field of assisted reproductive technology (ART) has experienced rapid growth over the past decades owing to revolutionary techniques such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), preimplantation…

Endocrine disruptors as risk factors for endometrial cancer (EC) are positively correlated with serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels. Additionally, increased FSH is associated with EC. However, its exact mechanism is not yet clea…

OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to evaluate the expression of microRNA-223 (miRNA-223) in patient-derived eutopic and ectopic endometrial stromal cells (SCs). Given the fact that miRNA-223 was previously shown to be upregulated in these …

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the impact of a history of recurrent ectopic pregnancy (EP) on pregnancy outcomes of subsequent in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment.MethodsA retrospective cohort study involving 457 wome…

Twin pregnancies are associated with greater risk of neonatal morbidity and mortality than a singleton. This study was performed to investigate the twin pregnancy rate when two vitrified-warmed embryos are transferred in women of advanced r…

Sodium valproate (VPA) has analgesic effects in clinical and experimental studies, but the mechanisms are still unclear. The present study examined the effects of VPA on stress-induced somatic hyperalgesia and visceral hypersensitivity and …

This retrospective study analyzed the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for pain relief caused by necrosis of femoral head (NFH).Totally, 80 cases of patients with NFH were analyzed and then were assigned to a tre…

Visceral pain, a common characteristic of multiple diseases relative to viscera, impacts millions of people worldwide. Although hundreds of studies have explored mechanisms underlying visceral pain, it is still poorly managed. Over the past…

Glioma is recognized as a highly angiogenic malignant brain tumor. Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) greatly restricts the therapeutic effect of anti-angiogenic tumor therapy for glioma patients. However, the molecular mechanisms of VM formation in…

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Ovarian endometriosis (OvE) is ovarian cyst that is lined with endometrial tissue. They are found in 17-44% of women with endometriosis. Their clinical manifestations include pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and infe…

BackgroundPopulation differentiation has proved to be effective for identifying loci under geographically localized positive selection, and has the potential to identify loci subject to balancing selection. We have previously investigated t…

PurposeThe study was designed to evaluate whether cumulus cell removal 4 h post-insemination could influence fertilization and embryo quality.MethodsThe study included 61couples undergoing standard long down regulation protocol from July 20…
