This study aims to characterize the expression pattern and biological functions of miR-433-3p in endometriosis. Eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissues were collected from endometriosis patients, and the expression level of miR-433-3p was d…
BACKGROUND: Implantation failure is the most common cause of pregnancy failure and is a major limiting factor in assisted reproduction. Plasma microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles show dynamic changes among individuals with successful impla…
BACKGROUND: The incidence of malignant tumors/precancerous lesions is rising, yet their impact on pregnancy outcomes in women undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) remains unclear. METHODS: A single-…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the interaction effects of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), antral follicle count (AFC), basal follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and endometrial thickness on the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART). …
Dysbiosis of the female genital tract microbiota represents a key pathological basis underlying clinical symptoms such as vaginal dryness and dyspareunia, which subsequently contribute to diminished sexual quality of life (QoL) in women. Al…
Acute pancreatitis is a complex inflammatory disease with high morbidity and mortality, closely associated with intestinal barrier dysfunction, gut microbiota dysbiosis and abnormal lipid metabolism. Akkermansia muciniphila has been shown t…
BACKGROUND: Unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) poses a significant clinical challenge with an elusive pathogenesis. FABP4 is crucial for lipid homeostasis and placental development, but its specific role and regulatory mechan…
OBJECTIVE: To compare dietary preparation durations and evaluate optimal diet types before high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Five hundred patients with uterine fibroids or adenomyosis undergoing HIF…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian endometriosis (OEMs) is a primary cause of female infertility and is driven primarily by fibrosis, which disrupts the ovarian follicular microenvironment. Pirfenidone (PFD), an FDA-approved antifibrotic drug, holds promi…
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a heterogeneous condition in which visceral, musculoskeletal, neuropathic, and pain-processing contributors often overlap. Pelvic floor ultrasound can depict morphology and movement, but its CPP-specific evidenc…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriomsis (EMs) is a complex and chronic gynecological disease characterized by distressing symptoms. Its pathogenesis remains unknown, and there is no effective treatment. Therefore, establishing patient-derived models i…
Adenomyosis (AM) is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder in which local steroid handling may contribute to clinical heterogeneity. To characterize estrogen metabolic features in AM, we used liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrom…
IntroductionWhether the total gonadotropin (Gn) dose used for controlled ovarian stimulation is independently associated with live birth and embryo quality remains controversial, largely because the dose is individualized according to patie…
BACKGROUND: Accurate diagnosis of rectal and perirectal lesions remains challenging, particularly for submucosal, necrotic, or anatomically complex masses where conventional endoscopic forceps biopsy (EFB) often yields insufficient tissue. …
Poly(lactic acid-lactic acid) (PLGA) has demonstrated significant application potential in tumor-targeted drug delivery systems due to its excellent biocompatibility, degradability, and multifunctionality for loading various therapeutic age…
To mark 5 years of Cell Genomics, we asked authors across China to reflect on their research and the field of genomics. Together, these voices reflect on their findings, publishing, belonging to a community, and what shape the field's next …
BACKGROUND: The increasing global incidence of endometrial cancer (EC) underscores the urgent need for effective early detection. Noninvasive detection approaches, such as transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS), frequently exhibit low specifici…
Diagnosing ovarian lesions is challenging because of their heterogeneous clinical presentations. Some benign ovarian conditions, such as endometriosis, can have features that mimic cancer. We use optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy …
IntroductionTranscription factor EB (TFEB) deficiency contributes to insufficient autophagic degradation, resulting in zymogen granule (ZG) accumulation and subsequent premature activation, which underlies the pathogenesis of alcoholic panc…
Several diseases affect the female reproductive system, and both disease factors and treatments impact its integrity and function. Consequently, understanding the mechanisms of disease occurrence and exploring treatment methods are key rese…
BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the efficacy of acupuncture as a monotherapy for managing endometriosis-related pain (ERP) compared to non-acupuncture interventions. METHODS: We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CN…
Anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS) is a rare autoimmune condition characterized by the presence of anti-aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (ARS) antibodies and systemic features such as interstitial lung disease and myositis. Although autoimmune disorde…
While epidemiological studies have associated endometriosis with ovarian cancer risk, the causal relationships across anatomic subtypes and histotypes remain undefined. Using two-sample Mendelian randomization with 84 genetic instruments (F…
Pancreatitis poses persistent diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its heterogeneous clinical presentation, variable disease course, and lack of targeted interventions. Conventional tools, such as serum enzymes, cross-sectional imag…
Existing evidence shows the importance of circulating cytokines in studying female reproductive system dysfunction. Endometriosis (EM) is thought to be associated with multiple immune cytokines, but its causality has not been proven. Utilis…
