Perioperative abstinent smokers experience heightened pain sensitivity and increased postoperative analgesic requirements, likely due to nicotine withdrawal-induced hyperalgesia. However, the underlying neural mechanisms in humans remain un…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to propose a novel, reproducible transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) measurement-anterior-posterior wall thickness of the uterine isthmus ratio (APTUIR)-and to construct a nomogram model integrating this parameter with…

BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) frequently manifest sleep disturbances and psychological morbidity. This study examined associations between cerebral activation patterns, sleep quality, and psychologic…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer is a distinct form of epithelial ovarian cancer that arises from the malignant transformation of benign endometriotic lesions. While epithelial-mesenchymal transition is acknowledged as a …

BACKGROUND: Ovarian endometriosis(OEM) is a highly prevalent condition that significantly affects women’s health. Tissue-derived extracellular vesicles(Ti-EVs) contain multiple molecules that maintain intercellular communication. They parti…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a prevalent benign condition among women of reproductive age. While the overall rate of endometriosis-associated malignancy is low, the risk of malignant transformation increases significantly in postmenopausal …

The pathogenesis of endometriosis (EM) remains intricate and multifactorial. This study aimed to investigate the biological functions of microRNA-769-5p (miR-769-5p) in an in vitro model of EM. Serum was obtained from 120 EM patients and 10…

Endometriosis is a chronic systemic disease affecting ~10% of women, yet its genetic basis and molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Hence, here we conducted a genome-wide association study of endometriosis and adenomyosis in ~1.4 …

This narrative review synthesizes the latest advances in nano-diagnostic and therapeutic reagents for acute pancreatitis (AP), based on peer-reviewed experimental and preclinical studies published in recent years. AP endangers life through …

Endometriosis (EM) is a prevalent gynecological disorder linked to pelvic pain, menstrual disturbances, and infertility. Despite its clinical burden, the molecular mechanisms underlying EM remain elusive, necessitating the discovery of nove…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease, and its pathogenesis remains unclear. Although the placenta is an organ with tumor-like characteristics, its development, including its invasive function…

Endometrioid carcinoma is one of the most prevalent malignant neoplasms in gynecology, in contrast to perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa), a rare stromal tumor, which is seldom encountered in the female genital system. The coexiste…

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to examine the impact of quercetin on a mouse model of endometriosis and elucidate its underlying mechanisms. METHODS: An endometriosis model was established using C57BL/6 mice, which were divided into three …

BACKGROUND: Ovarian endometriosis (OEMs) is a primary cause of female infertility and is driven primarily by fibrosis, which disrupts the ovarian follicular microenvironment. Pirfenidone (PFD), an FDA-approved antifibrotic drug, holds promi…

Poly(lactic acid-lactic acid) (PLGA) has demonstrated significant application potential in tumor-targeted drug delivery systems due to its excellent biocompatibility, degradability, and multifunctionality for loading various therapeutic age…

BackgroundTraditional research on the female reproductive tract (FRT) microbiome has focused on the dominance of bacteria, particularly Lactobacillus, as a marker of health. This bacteriocentric paradigm, however, cannot fully explain clini…

Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX1) has been reported to play a role in human granulosa cell (GC) dysfunction by binding with long noncoding RNAs in patients with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). 5-Methylcytosine (m5C) methylation is an abun…

BackgroundAs the main cause of maternal deaths in early pregnancy, delayed diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy (EP) may lead to severe consequences. Patients with pregnancy of unknown location (PUL) exhibit a significantly higher incidence of EP…

BackgroundIn assisted reproductive technology, preventing premature ovulation is crucial for achieving successful pregnancy outcomes. The traditional GnRH antagonist protocol is commonly used to suppress the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge, …

BackgroundThe cardiometabolic index (CMI), a novel measure of obesity that integrates lipid profiles and indicators of abdominal adiposity, has emerged as a promising marker of metabolic health. However, its relationship with infertility re…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease for which there is currently no accurate screening test to identify or predict the probability of the disease in individuals. This can often lead to delays in diagnosis. Several systemic immun…

In addition to chromosomal abnormalities, excessive systemic or local inflammation, particularly in the uterus, may also contribute to the pathogenesis of early pregnancy loss. Recently, several systemic immune inflammation indices, includi…

RATIONALE: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) during pregnancy is exceedingly rare, particularly when accompanied by squamous differentiation, with only a limited number of cases reported in the English literature to date. PATIENT CONCERN…

BACKGROUND: Palmitoylation, a post-translational lipid modification, has garnered increasing attention for its role in inflammatory processes and tumorigenesis. Emerging evidence suggests a potential association between palmitoylation and i…
