PurposeVaginal delivery is the most common mode of childbirth, and women often experience severe uterine contraction pain (UCP) for several days postpartum, which can significantly impair postpartum recovery. Acupuncture has proven efficacy…

Endometriosis has limited treatment options, prompting the search for data-driven therapeutics. We previously used a transcriptomics-based computational drug repositioning pipeline and identified several drug candidates. Fenoprofen, our top…

BACKGROUND: Ureteral endometriosis with hydroureteronephrosis can impair renal function, yet few clear guidelines exist for its surgical treatment. This study aimed to compare the clinicopathological features between patients undergoing ure…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs)-associated infertility has been linked to alterations in the follicular microenvironment; however, the role of exosomal long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in granulosa cell dysfunction remains incompletely unders…

Endometriosis (EMs) is characterized by chronic pelvic inflammation, but the etiology of this inflammation remains poorly understood. The senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), whereby senescent cells secrete pro-inflammatory cyt…

Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death characterized by iron-dependent phospholipid peroxidation and is implicated in a wide range of human diseases. Emerging evidence highlights the critical role of epigenetic regulation in this pr…

Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder affecting up to 10% of women of reproductive age, and the absence of reliable noninvasive diagnostic tools contributes to delayed diagnosis and disease progression. To identify potentia…

Abstract Background Transcriptome-based drug repurposing can accelerate therapeutic discovery, but is limited by fragmented resources, inconsistent quality control, and reliance on single perturbation databases. Methods We developed CD…

Transcriptome-based drug repurposing can accelerate therapeutic discovery, but is limited by fragmented resources, inconsistent quality control, and reliance on single perturbation databases. We developed CDRPipe (Computational Drug Repurpo…

BackgroundThe cytokines interleukin (IL)-6 and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) are established inducers of pathogenic T helper 17 (Th17) cells from naïve T cells. In the maternal-fetal compartment, IL-6 signaling elevates levels of …

Nociplastic pain (NPP) is a recently defined form of chronic pain, characterized by altered nociception in the absence of clear evidence of nociceptive or neuropathic pain. It is believed to be driven by maladaptive changes in nociceptive p…

BackgroundThe Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) ultrasound (US) is a standardized tool for assessing adult adnexal lesions, but its performance in the pediatric population has not been fully validated. This study aimed to v…

ObjectiveTo investigate the diagnostic value of ultrasound in intrauterine device (IUD) embedment complicated by bladder stone formation and to discuss the clinical approach to diagnosis and management.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the…

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Xiao-Liu Tang (XLT), a formulation grounded in the Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory of Qi-Blood, has shown promise in alleviating endometriosis-related symptoms through clinical observations, with em…

INTRODUCTION AND METHODS: Endometriosis has limited treatment options, prompting the search for novel therapeutics. We previously used a transcriptomics-based computational drug repositioning pipeline to analyze public bulk transcriptomic d…

The ovaries play essential roles in providing oocytes for fertilization and secreting sex hormones that regulate various organ functions. Autophagy has been implicated in the modulation of ovarian functions, yet its mechanisms of action are…

PURPOSE: To conduct a comparative metabolomic analysis of follicular fluid (FF) from patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles under GnRH agonist versus antagonist protocols, aiming to identify protocol-specific metabolic sign…

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Conventional hormonal treatments for endometriosis (EMs) are often associated with significant side effects. In recent years, many clinical trials and studies have highlighted the remarkable efficacy of Chine…

BackgroundThe echo pattern constitutes an ultrasonic index that reflects the characteristics of the endometrium across various phases of the menstrual cycle. However, consensus of endometrial echo pattern and pregnancy outcomes is lacking i…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the pregnancy and perinatal outcomes of different phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients during the frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Additionally, to analyze the T cell balance in the endometrium of…

Ectopic pancreas (EP) is most commonly located in the upper gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the stomach. Malignant transformation of EP is exceptionally rare, and due to its very low incidence, the response to drug therapy and overa…

Current interventions for endometriosis mainly involve hormone therapies but have limited efficacy and unacceptable side effects due to the lack of selectivity to distinguish between endometriosis and endometrial tissues. Elucidating the mo…

The enteric glial cells (EGCs) are the main components of the enteric nervous system (ENS) and contribute to the development of slow transit constipation (STC). In this study, we aimed to explore the effects of neferine (Nef) on EGCs based …

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent condition affecting over 190 million women globally, characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial-like tissue that leads to inflammation, pain, and infertility. Despite its prevalence, …

BackgroundTo train highly qualified medical talent in 5-year programs and improve students' analytical and problem-solving abilities, it is necessary to change the traditional teaching method. This study introduces the combined teaching met…
