Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder defined by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, driven by estrogen-dependent inflammation and progressive fibrosis. According to available data, remodeling and persisten…

The gut microbiota has been implicated in pulmonary vascular diseases, yet a direct causal link to pulmonary embolism (PE) remains unestablished. This study aimed to investigate the causal effects of gut microbiota on PE and to explore the …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy of Honghua Ruyi Pills combined with estradiol valerate and dydrogesterone tablets in promoting endometrial repair and menstrual recovery after artificial abortion. METHODS: This was a randomized, double…

BACKGROUND: The SRU consensus on pelvic ultrasound proposed standardized augmented ultrasound, but its validity and indirect signs' role require validation. This study will explore the application value of this consensus in deep endometrios…

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…

The relationship between hyperprolactinemia and gut microbiota remains unclear at present. This study employs a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to assess the potential causal links between gut microbiota and the incidence of hyperprol…

BACKGROUND: Obesity has been linked to chronic inflammation and insulin resistance and oxidative stress, which are all associated with the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMs). This study aimed to investigate the associations between the eme…

This study aims to explore the association between stress coping and primary dysmenorrhea among Chinese female adolescent students. A two-step random, stratified, cluster sampling method was employed to assess the health status of female ad…

Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) poses significant challenges in reproductive health, with emerging evidence implicating DNA damage repair pathways. While GADD45A is a critical regulator of DNA repair, cell cycle and apoptosis, its role in …

MOTIVATION: Normalization is a critical step in quantitative PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) experiments to ensure accurate and reproducible gene expression analysis. However, commonly used endogenous controls such as miR-16 for …

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Immunohistochemical analysis (IHC) revealed markedly elevated expression of IL6ST in endometrial tissue of patients…

Ginseng, a traditional herb with a history spanning thousands of years in Asian culture, has gained widespread recognition for its valuable pharmacological properties. The primary active constituents of ginseng, ginsenosides, are renowned f…
