INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common malignant tumour of the head and neck region. In recent years, the relationship between pyroptosis and tumours has received increasing attention. However, its regulatory…

Background/Objectives: Guizhi Fuling Capsule (GZFL), a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula, is widely used for primary dysmenorrhea and other blood-stasis gynecological disorders. This study aimed to characterize its material basis, …

Organoids are three-dimensional multicellular structures derived from stem cells or primary tissues that recapitulate key structural and functional features of native organs. Advances in stem cell biology, biomaterials, and bioengineering h…

BACKGROUND: Vitamin D deficiency is a global public health concern, and women of reproductive age represent a particularly vulnerable population. Accurate measurement of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is therefore essential for reliabl…

BACKGROUND: Chronic hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV) infections represent a substantial global health burden and increasing numbers of infertile women with chronic HBV/HCV infections seek conception through in vitro fertilization (IV…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common reproductive disorders in women and severely impairs fertility. Extant clinical studies can only provide indirect and plausible evidence to support endometrial dysfunction as an ova…

OBJECTIVE: Our study aims to establish and validate a diagnostic scoring system for distinguishing malignant cystic ovarian tumors (MCOTs) from benign cystic ovarian tumors (BCOTs). METHODS: The study population was sourced from two indepe…

INTRODUCTION: Chronic endometritis (CE) is regarded as a potential factor contributing to infertility and embryo implantation failure. The cause of CE remains unclear at present, but it might be associated with intrauterine microbial infect…

BACKGROUND: While anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) serves as a well-established biomarker of ovarian reserve, its association with early miscarriage risk remains inconsistently characterized across previous research. To address this evidence ga…

BACKGROUND: To a large extent, the ovarian reserve determines a woman's reproductive potential. The etiological and pathological mechanisms of diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) remain unclear, and no reliable treatment is currently available…

Excessive androgens may lead to abnormal folliculogenesis and anovulation. To explore the link between hyperandrogenism (HA) and anovulation - related infertility, we performed a two - sample Mendelian randomization analysis, followed by mu…

Fibrosis, marked by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation, underlies functional decline in numerous diseases and often presents with sex-specific differences in severity. Although biochemical pathways have been widely studied, t…

Endometriosis is a gynecological condition characterized by the uncontrolled growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Although highly prevalent, the biological mechanisms of endometriosis are poorly understood, and the …

Follicular atresia is a critical physiological process that ensures the selection of high-quality oocytes by eliminating non-viable follicles. In women, 99.9% of follicles undergo atresia naturally, the premature or dysregulated atresia fol…

OBJECTIVES: To carry out a quantitative assessment of the therapeutic effect of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM), with Rehmannia glutinosa as the main ingredient, in treating perimenopausal syndrome (PMS) in breast cancer patients. METHODS: R…

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a newly discovered class of endogenous non-coding RNAs with a closed-loop structures, and they exert crucial regulatory functions in diverse biological processes and disease development through the modulation of…

BACKGROUND: The sirtuin family is well recognized for its crucial involvement in various cellular processes. Nevertheless, studies on its role in the human endometrium are limited. This study aimed to explore the expression and localization…

INTRODUCTION: Female infertility is a global issue that impacts on public health seriously and many mental disorders are observed in infertility groups. METHODS: To investigate the casual relationship between those, genome-wide association…

Endometriosis (EMT) is a common gynecological disease with a strong genetic component, while its precise etiology remains elusive. This study aims to integrate transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS), Mendelian randomization (MR), and b…

Endo-periodontal lesions (EPLs) involve both the periodontium and pulp tissue and have complicated etiologies and pathogenic mechanisms, including unique anatomical and microbiological characteristics and multiple contributing factors. This…

BACKGROUND: The reportedly high mutation rate of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) may be attributed to the absence of histone protection and complete repair mechanisms. Mitochondrial heteroplasmy refers to the coexistence of wild-type and mutant m…

BACKGROUND: Chlamydia trachomatis is a common sexually transmitted disease that is associated with considerable morbidity and harmful sequelae, including pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility. Strategies for prevention and treatment o…

Epigenetic regulation is an important entry point to study the pathogenesis of selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR), and an understanding of the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in sFGR is lacking. Our study aimed to investigate t…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of transabdominal ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (PMWA) in the treatment of symptomatic focal and nonfocal adenomyosis. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. …
