Metformin, the most widely used anti-diabetic drug, has been demonstrated to exert various effects, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and cardioprotective properties. Due to its affordability and low toxicity profile, me…
Endometriosis (EMS), a chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately 10 % reproductive aged women, remains etiologically unclear. This study aims to investigate the role and underlying mechanisms of frizzled class receptor 7 (FZD7) i…
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas accompanied with intestinal injury, and effective therapeutic modalities are still highly lacking. Herein, a facile and effective nanotherapeutics (pHA@IBNCs) is dev…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is characterized by the occurrence, growth, infiltration, and recurrent bleeding of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Recent studies have revealed a close association between Neutrophil Extracellular Tra…
Endometrial cysts of the ovary (EMC) may develop into endometriosis (EM)‑associated ovarian cancer over time (EAOC), but the pathogenesis of this disease has not been determined. In the present study, RNA sequencing was used to identify a f…
The postponement of childbearing age has become a global issue. Factors such as increased work pressures on women and environmental changes have led to a rising incidence and younger onset of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). POI not o…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to establish a risk prediction model of endometriosis in infertile women and verify the model. METHODS: A retrospective study was made of 140 infertile women hospitalized at Henan Provincial People's Hospital betw…
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the distribution of molecular signatures in endometriosis- associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) and to develop a prognostic model based on these molecular signatures. METHODS: We retrospectively analy…
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Guizhi Fuling Wan (GZFLW), a canonical herbal formulation originating from Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, has been widely utilized in managing pain-associated disorders. While its therapeutic efficacy in ade…
Background and objectivesMultimorbidity is increasingly prevalent among the middle-aged population, yet it is largely often overlooked. We aimed to explore and compare the differences in multimorbidity patterns by sex and age among middle-a…
BackgroundMultimorbidity substantially increases health and economic burdens, and reduces productivity in working-age individuals. We conducted a study using data from 393,170 working-age inpatients (18-59 years) in Shaanxi, China, collecte…
Abstract The characteristic of endometriosis is that the endometrial tissue grows in non-endometrial parts such as the pelvis and ovaries, leading to infertility and chronic pain. However, its pathophysiology is still unclear. Using high-p…
ObjectiveIntrauterine Adhesions (IUA), including Asherman's Syndrome, are a significant cause of female infertility, while stem cell interventions emerge as a promising therapeutic strategy. This meta-analysis aims to systematically evaluat…
The progesterone receptor (PR) is a steroid-responsive nuclear receptor with two isoforms: PR-A and PR-B. Disruption of PR-A:PR-B signaling is associated with breast cancer through interactions with oncogenic co-regulatory proteins (CoRs). …
Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) has been confirmed to suppress inflammation in endometriosis (EMs). Herein, this study investigated whether and how TMP affected NLRP3 inflammasomes and oxidative stress in EMs. After establishment of an EMs rat mo…
Uterine injuries, particularly damages to endometrium, are usually associated with abnormal menstruation, recurrent miscarriage, pregnancy complications, and infertility. Tissue engineering using cell-based, biomolecule-based, or biomateria…
Adenomyosis is characterized by the infiltration of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium which affects about 35% women at reproductive age. Women affected by adenomyosis always experience issues such as defective decidualizatio…
PurposeTo explore the value of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation and laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) in the treatment of uterine fibroids.MethodsOne hundred and twenty patients with uterine fibroids admitted to our hospital fro…
Endometriosis-associated ovarian carcinoma (EAOC) predominantly arises from the malignant transformation of endometriomas, yet the mechanism is incompletely defined. Spatial transcriptomic analysis of human specimens of normal endometrium, …
BACKGROUND: This study explores the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of gastric cancer induced by plasticizers, with particular emphasis on the interactions between plasticizers and key genes and signaling pathways…
Chelidonium majus L. (C. majus), commonly known as "Bai Qu Cai" in China, belongs to the genus Chelidonium of the Papaveraceae family. It has rich medicinal value, such as alleviating coughs, asthma, spasms and pain. Recent studies have dem…
To explore the factors influencing the clinical pregnancy rate in the Reproductive Center of the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College in the second cycle, a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 175 patients who und…
BackgroundPrimary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) is often related to adverse neonatal outcomes. But it's currently controversial whether pSS has an adverse effect on female fertility and clinical pregnancy condition. More importantly, it's unclear …
BackgroundWith the increasing incidence of obesity and the childbearing-age delay among women, a debate over obesity's impacts on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes becomes hot. The potential negative effects of obesity and aging on fertility …
