BackgroundOvarian cancer is a lethal gynecological malignancy, with ~70% of patients diagnosed at advanced stages (5-year survival <30%) due to suboptimal early detection tools. Current modalities [e.g., carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), im…

BackgroundThe relationship between gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-as) and depression and suicide/self-injury (DASSI) remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate this potential association using data from the FDA Ad…

PURPOSE: To characterize the clinical phenotypes of congenital genital tract malformations and evaluate their associations with endometriosis (EM) and fertility outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This retrospective cohort study analyzed 306 w…

BackgroundDamage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are endogenous molecules released or exposed during cellular stress, injury, or death. Initially characterized as danger signals that alert the immune system, DAMPs are now recognized a…

BACKGROUND: Endometrial receptivity (ER) serves as a critical determinant for successful embryo implantation, yet its molecular complexity and limited clinical assessment methods pose significant challenges. Despite advancements in assisted…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterine cavity and is associated with pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Although several theori…

BACKGROUND: Spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic, is commonly prescribed for conditions such as heart failure, hypertension, and hyperaldosteronism. This study aims to explore and analyze the safety profile of spironolactone by exam…

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…

OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis is a common condition among women, characterized by chronic pain and infertility, presenting significant challenges for clinicians. This study aims to identify potential druggable targets to offer new therapeutic a…

Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are sensors in the immune system, detecting pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). They serve as essential links between the innate and adaptive …

STUDY OBJECTIVE: According to a four-level scale of endometriosis surgical complexity, the 2021 American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) endometriosis classification system was externally and prospectively validated. And we…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine metabolic syndrome characterized by ovulation disorders, hyperandrogenemia, and polycystic ovaries, which seriously affect the psychological and physical health of childbearing women. N6-meth…

BackgroundHydroxyurea (HU) is an antitumor drug. However, HU exposure is associated with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). Zi Chong granules, a Chinese Medicine, can protect against DOR, but little is known regarding its underlying mechanis…

BackgroundCuproptosis is a novel copper-dependent mode of cell death that has recently been discovered. The relationship between Cuproptosis-related ncRNAs and breast cancer subtypes, however, remains to be studied.MethodsThe aim of this st…

(1) Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) induces oxidative stress and inflammation with negative effect on pregnancy outcomes. This study aimed to determine whether DM increases the risk of pregnancy loss and to identify other potential risk …

Melatonin, as an endocrine neurotransmitter, can promote the development of the ovary. Meanwhile, it also has protective effect on the ovary as an antioxidant. Thyroid hormone (TH) is essential for normal human reproductive function. Many s…

BACKGROUND: The heterogeneity and dynamic changes of endometrial cells have a significant impact on health as they determine the normal function of the endometrium during the menstrual cycle. Dysfunction of the endometrium can lead to the o…

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) increases the risk of short-term and long-term complications. Widespread N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications on mRNAs have been found to be involved in various biological processes. However, the role of m6A…

BackgroundHistorically, the clinical characteristics and treatment pathways for patients with uterine fibroids and heavy menstrual bleeding have differed between White and Black women.ObjectiveTo provide a contemporary comparison of patient…

Secondary dysmenorrhea is a pain associated with disease such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, leiomyomas, and interstitial cystitis. Treatment of secondary dysmenorrhea always focuses on the causative pelvic pathology or medi…

The two most prevalent subtypes of epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) are ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) and high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC). Patients with OCCC have a poor prognosis than those with HGSC due to chemoresistan…

Abstract Background Deconvolution of immune microenvironment that drive transcriptional programs throughout the menstrual cycle is key to understanding regulatory biology of endometrium. Methods We comprehensively analyzed single cell trans…

Exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease, and hyperglycemia serves an important role in the development of atherosclerosis. The present study aimed to investigate th…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis, which is a common disease affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age, usually causes dysmenorrhea and infertility, thus seriously harming the patients' physical and mental health. However, there is a …

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to assess the association between neonatal SARS-CoV-2 antibody level at delivery and infant SARS-CoV-2 infection under the age of 6 months and to identify predictive factors for neonatal antibody level at…
