Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) is a key enzyme that catalyzes the conjugation of long-chain fatty acids with coenzyme A to form acyl-CoA, showing particularly high specificity for polyunsaturated fatty acids. In rece…

This study investigates associations between genetically proxied plasma vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family proteins and placenta previa using 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR). Exposure GWAS summary statistics were obtaine…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of bladder hydrodistension combined with oral mirabegron and intravesical instillation in patients with interstitial cystitis(IC). METHODOLOGY: This was a retrospective study. Ninety patients…

The aim of this study was to detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the peripheral blood of patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) using a CTCs sorting technique and to assess the association between CTC counts and patient prognosis. Epit…

INTRODUCTION: Nomograms are intuitive graphical tools that integrate multiple prognostic variables to generate individualized risk estimates. To date, no study has developed a validated prediction model specifically for symptomatic recurren…

​​backgroundUltrasound-based risk models provide a valuable tool to support non-expert clinicians in evaluating adnexal masses, potentially reducing unnecessary surgeries for benign conditions. However, their implementation in clinical prac…

INTRODUCTION: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is known to reduce the likelihood of achieving pregnancy or live births in women undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Acupuncture maybe effective for DOR, but current…

Ovarian cancer poses a significant clinical challenge due to its asymptomatic onset and poor prognosis, highlighting the critical need for effective early detection strategies. This study developed a framework that integrates serum proteomi…

BACKGROUND: Müllerian anomalies complicated by extrapelvic endometriosis are uncommon, and herniation of Müllerian remnants into the inguinal canal is exceptionally rare. These complex presentations pose significant diagnostic challenges ar…

BACKGROUND: The ovary is a vital and dynamic reproductive organ. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) plays a vital role in preserving female fertility. However, the cellular subtypes most susceptible to cryoinjury and the molecular mechan…

OBJECTIVE: Chronic pancreatitis (CP) creates an inflammatory pancreatic microenvironment and is an established risk factor for pancreatic cancer (PC). However, immune-inflammatory links between CP and PC remain unclear. Isorhamnetin (ISO), …

This study aimed to explore the association between leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and premature rupture of membranes (PROM). This cross-sectional study included a total of 170,841 participants from the UK Biobank. Restricted cubic spline …

Chronic pain remains a major clinical challenge, creating a need for safe, non-pharmacological interventions. This narrative mini-review examines two light-based approaches that differ in their sites of action and treatment parameters: visu…

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of IL-17A neutralisation on renal interstitial fibrosis and inflammation in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). METHODS: SHRs were treated with an IL-17A-neutral…

Metabolic reprogramming, the fundamental process by which cells adapt to fluctuations in energy demands, is pivotal in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CCVDs). Aberrant reprogramming of glucose, lipid, and…

RationaleUlcerative colitis (UC) and psoriasis are both chronic inflammatory diseases mediated by the immune system. Ixekizumab, used to treat psoriasis, carries a risk of inducing or exacerbating UC. Infliximab has also been reported to ex…

Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is a key factor in the recurrence and progression of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Phosphodiesterase 4C (PDE4C) serves as a crucial regulator in cancer development and metastasis, its functional role and mec…

During perimenopause and postmenopause, changes in estrogen exposure may alter mucosal barriers, microbial ecosystems, and inflammatory responsiveness across the oral and genitourinary tracts. These stages differ in their hormonal patterns,…

Clinical application of mesenchymal stem cells for endometrial repair has been hampered by variability in cell quality, large-scale production, and uncertainty regarding the optimal delivery route. In this study, we investigated the therape…

Polygonatum odoratum (Mill.) Druce (Angular Solomon's seal) is a medicinal and edible plant belonging to the Asparagaceae family. Phytochemical investigations have revealed its diverse chemical constituents. This review systematically summa…

Endometrioid carcinoma is one of the most prevalent malignant neoplasms in gynecology, in contrast to perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa), a rare stromal tumor, which is seldom encountered in the female genital system. The coexiste…

OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the relationship between uterine artery blood flow parameters and the number of miscarriages, etiology, treatment protocol, and pregnancy outcomes in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). METHODS:…

INTRODUCTION: Pulmonary endometriosis (PE) is an unusual cause of catamenial hemoptysis, with only a small proportion of endometriosis cases involving the thorax. Standard management often involves surgical resection combined with hormonal …
