PURPOSE: To evaluate the insulin resistance in patients with menopause who were newly diagnosed with endometrial cancer and its association with disease development. METHODS: The study included 356 patients with menopause who underwent hys…
BACKGROUND: Studies 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 cance…
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…
Thin endometrium (TE) is a significant factor contributing to fertility challenges, and addressing this condition remains a central challenge in reproductive medicine. Menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MenSCs) play a crucial r…
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,…
OBJECTIVES: Our study tries to investigate the effect of the Mediterranean diet (MeDiet) on assisted reproductive treatment outcomes in women after COVID-19 infection. DESIGN: A prospective observational cohort study in the Reproductive an…
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…
BACKGROUND: The 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 …
BACKGROUND: The oil-soluble contrast medium used in hysterosalpingography has been shown to have a fertility-enhancing effect, but the underlying mechanism is unclear, especially regarding the role of window of implantation (WOI). This stud…
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…
Endometrial carcinoma (EC) risk stratification prior to surgery is crucial for clinical treatment. In this study, we intend to evaluate the predictive value of radiomics models based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for risk stratificati…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to establish a protocol for efficiently isolating and expanding adenomyotic lesion-derived endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (A-eMSCs) in vitro. METHODS: Three different methods-namely, the enzymatic method, the …
Frozen shoulder (FS) is a common disorder often treated with Tuina, but the mechanisms involved remain unclear. We employed proteomics and phosphoproteomics to investigate the mechanisms associated with the treatment of capsule fibrosis in …
BACKGROUND: Previous research has demonstrated that exposure to individual heavy metals elevates the incidence rate of congenital heart defects (CHDs). However, there is a paucity of data concerning the relationship between combined exposur…
PURPOSE: The goal is to identify risk factors associated with receiving a blood transfusion during the perioperative period in patients who undergo total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) using a large-scale national database. METHODS: In th…
The HOXA genes, belonging to the HOX family, encompass 11 members (HOXA1-11) and exert critical functions in early embryonic development, as well as various adult processes. Furthermore, dysregulation of HOXA genes is implicated in genetic …
Endometrial cancer (EC) is a highly heterogeneous malignancy characterized by varied pathology and prognoses, and the heterogeneity of its cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME) remains poorly understood. We conducted single-cell…
The microenvironment of the endometrial immune system is crucial to the success of placental implantation and healthy pregnancy. However, the functionalities of immune cells across various stages of the reproductive cycle have yet to be ful…
The distinctive three-dimensional architecture, biological functionality, minimal immunogenicity, and inherent biodegradability of small intestinal submucosa extracellular matrix materials have attracted considerable interest and found wide…
