Until non-hormonal therapeutic targets for endometriosis are suggested, we focused on mitochondrial function and autophagy regulation in the disease. Transcrocetin is a carotenoid and retinoic acid with high antioxidant potency and antiprol…
Mitochondria, the versatile organelles crucial for cellular and organismal viability, play a pivotal role in meeting the energy requirements of cells through the respiratory chain located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, concomitant wit…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: It is demonstrated that lipid metabolism disorders are associated with the reproductive performances of assisted reproductive technology. However, it is little known whether hyperlipidemia is associated with the endomet…
Based on analyses of 22,487,947 person-years of follow-up data in a cohort of 2,523,565 young females, we found that the presence of depression was associated with a higher cumulative incidence of new-onset uterine leiomyoma than the absenc…
Menopausal syndrome, occurring during the menopausal stage in women, manifests as symptoms stemming from decreased estrogen levels, such as hot flashes, insomnia, mental disorders (anxiety, depression), and osteoporosis. The bulk of studies…
Existing biomarkers for ovarian cancer lack sensitivity and specificity. We compared the diagnostic efficacy of nonlinear machine learning and linear statistical models for diagnosing ovarian cancer using a combination of conventional labor…
Controversial conclusions have been made in previous studies regarding the influence of ultra-long gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) in the reproductive outcomes of women with endometriosis who are undergoing in vitro fertiliz…
BACKGROUND: Fraxetin, a phytochemical obtained from Fraxinus rhynchophylla, is well known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties. However, fraxetin regulates the progression of endometriosis, which is a benign reproductive d…
OBJECTIVE: Progesterone receptor membrane component 2 (PGRMC2) belongs to the membrane-associated progesterone receptor family, which regulates multiple pathophysiological processes. However, the role of PGRMC2 in ischemic stroke remains un…
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID) pandemic began in December 2019. Many countries have implemented restrictions such as mandatory mask wearing and social distancing. These measures have caused diverse and complex health problems, particu…
Fertilization is a complex and highly regulated process that involves a series of molecular interactions between sperm and oocytes. However, the mechanisms of proteins involved in human fertilization, such as that of testis-specific SPACA4,…
BACKGROUND: In this study, we aimed to identify novel biomarkers for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and analyze their potential roles in immune infiltration during PCOS pathogenesis. METHODS: Five datasets, namely GSE137684, GSE80432, GS…
6,8-Diprenylorobol is a flavonoid compound extracted from Cudrania tricuspidata. It has various biological functions, such as inhibiting melanin synthesis and inducting cell death in cancerous cells. In addition, Cudrania tricuspidata is kn…
Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease characterized by abnormal growth of endometrial-like cells outside the uterus. Melatonin, a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, has been shown to have therapeutic effects in various diseases…
To assess the clinical value of microcystic, elongated, and fragmented (MELF) pattern in Chinese patients with endometrial endometrioid carcinoma. A total of 189 patients with endometrial endometrioid carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed…
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a typical disorder of amenorrhea that lasts for a minimum of four months in women < 40 years old and is typically characterized by reduced estrogen levels and elevated serum concentrations of follicl…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacies of three cycle regimens in women receiving frozen embryo transfer with a history of cesarean section: natural cycle treatment, hormone replacement therapy and treatment with gonadotropin-releasing ho…
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent mode of cell death. It can occur through two major pathways, exogenous (or transporter-dependent) and endogenous (or enzyme-regulated) pathways are activated by biological or chemical inducers, and glutathio…
INTRODUCTION: In clinical practice, the ideal time at which to perform a Frozen-thawed Embryo Transfer (FET) after a failed In-vitro Fertilization-embryo Transfer (IVF-ET) is still unclear to most practicing physicians. In addition, physici…
Although effective drugs have been developed, including 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) shows low therapeutic sensitivity resulting from the development of 5-FU resistance. Thymidylate synthase (TS) is a target prote…
BACKGROUND: Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is an important prognostic factor in endometrial cancer. Anomalous microRNAs (miRNAs) are associated with cell functions and are becoming a powerful tool to characterize malignant transformation and m…
PURPOSE: To determine whether the kiwi root extract inhibits the development of endometriosis in mice by suppressing inflammatory factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The mouse model of endometriosis was induced by surgery after which the mice …
Objective: To determine the acceptability and feasibility of acupuncture for the treatment of endometriosis-related chronic pelvic pain. Design: A prospective, randomized controlled feasibility study. Setting: Outpatient setting in Sydney, …
OBJECTIVE: The incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is higher in women, and peaks around the age of menopause. Therefore, we investigated whether bilateral oophorectomy is associated with an increased risk of severe CTS. METHODS: We i…
