BACKGROUND: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA), the most prevalent form of hair loss, is driven by the dysfunction of dermal papilla cells (DPCs). Emerging evidence implicates DPC senescence in the pathogenesis of AGA; however, the underlying mole…

Hormonal fluctuations in women have major impacts on organ physiology, contributing to well-recognized sex differences in disease susceptibility and manifestations, as well as therapeutic responses. Yet, most experimental studies and precli…

INTRODUCTION: Tamoxifen is a cornerstone of endocrine therapy for estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer; however, its partial estrogen agonist activity in the endometrium predisposes patients to hyperplasia and, in some cases, malignant …

BACKGROUND: Migraine is a familial, episodic disorder characterized by complex sensory processing dysfunction, with headache serving as its hallmark feature. While numerous risk factors have been proposed, the causal nature of these associa…

Chemokines, a category of cytokines exhibiting chemotactic properties, have been thoroughly investigated as targets in cancer treatment in recent decades. In oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), a prevalent and high-risk malignancy of the h…

BACKGROUND: Opportunistic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) is recommended in women who have undergone a hysterectomy due to gynecological carcinomas and/or in women with genetic indications, especially for women who do not intend to co…

Macrophages have great plasticity. Typically, there are two of activated macrophages: M1 macrophages and M2 macrophages. Of them, M1 macrophages play a major role in responses that are pro-inflammatory, while M2 macrophages play an importan…

PURPOSE: The importance of vitamin D metabolism has been confirmed in various pregnancy complications. It is unknown, henceforth how vitamin D metabolism contributes to the occurrence of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). This study aimed to e…

RATIONALE: Ureteral injury from sutures during total hysterectomy is a relatively uncommon but potentially severe complication that can lead to serious sequelae such as ureterovaginal fistula or renal insufficiency. The management of such i…

Administering medication is a crucial strategy in improving the prognosis for advanced endometrial cancer. However, the rise of drug resistance often leads to the resurgence of cancer or less-than-ideal treatment outcomes. Prior studies hav…

BACKGROUND: Ectopic endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) and M2 macrophages co-exist in the lesions of endometriosis and participate in the occurrence and progression of endometriosis. However, the interaction between ectopic ESCs and M2-type m…

BACKGROUND: Rudimentary horn pregnancy (RHP) is a special type of ectopic pregnancy and its pathophysiological basis is an abnormal fusion of the bilateral accessory mesonephric duct during the embryonic period. If sonographers lack experie…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of sequential embryo transfer (ET) on the pregnancy outcome of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycle and the indications of sequential transfer. METHODS: A total of 1440 FET cycles were enrolled in this…

A dysregulated immune microenvironment at the maternal-fetal interface in early pregnancy may lead to early pregnancy loss, fetal growth restriction, and preeclampsia. However, major questions about how epigenetic modifications regulate the…

WNT family member 4 (WNT4), which belongs to the conserved WNT protein family, plays an important role in the development and differentiation of many cell types during the embryonic development and adult homeostasis. Increasing evidence has…

In order to compare the clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes of patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) to other epithelial cancer types, a total of 27,290 patients were analyzed, including 2,424 patients with …

Primary dysmenorrhoea, defined as painful menstrual cramps in the absence of pelvic pathology, is a common problem in women of reproductive age. Its aetiology and pathophysiology remain largely unknown. Here we performed a two-stage genome-…

This study aimed to investigate the potential role of microRNA-202-5p (miR-202-5p) in regulating myocardial ischemia-caused injury and to explore the underlying mechanisms. Rat embryonic ventricular cardiomyocyte-derived H9c2 cells were tre…

We evaluated the diagnostic value of hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 beta (HNF-1β) and napsin A for diagnosing ovarian clear cell carcinoma. Immunohistochemical EnVision was used to measure HNF-1β and napsin A expression in 38 cases of ovarian …
