Neurogenic bladder (NB)-induced fibrosis is the major cause of irreversible bladder dysfunction, yet the underlying mechanisms remain undefined. Here, leveraging single-cell RNA sequencing, the fibrotic landscape of NB is delineated and a d…
The gut microbiota has been implicated in pulmonary vascular diseases, yet a direct causal link to pulmonary embolism (PE) remains unestablished. This study aimed to investigate the causal effects of gut microbiota on PE and to explore the …
OBJECTIVE: Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) is a rare female reproductive tract malformation. Accurate preoperative diagnosis and classification are vital for surgical planning. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of hi…
INTRODUCTION: Adenomyosis is a uterine disorder defined by presence of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium with surrounding myometrial hyperplasia. Research has shown that ultrasound (US) can play a key role in early adenomy…
Ovarian endometriosis (OEM) is characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue growth within the ovary. In these ectopic lesions, the ectopic epithelium plays a crucial role in OEM progression and has been associated with malignant transformati…
PURPOSE: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic endometrial-like lesions, where aberrant angiogenesis is a hallmark driving lesion establishment and progression. However, the transcripti…
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…
Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX1) has been reported to play a role in human granulosa cell (GC) dysfunction by binding with long noncoding RNAs in patients with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). 5-Methylcytosine (m5C) methylation is an abun…
In 1995, Morris first described cesarean scar defect as an "isthmocele" by macroscopy following hysterectomy in women with prior cesarean delivery. Cesarean scar defect is associated with gynecological symptoms such as abnormal uterine blee…
Endometritis is a common reproductive disorder in dairy cows, with antibiotics being the primary treatment option. However, the overuse of antibiotics has contributed to the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial peptide…
The relationship between hyperprolactinemia and gut microbiota remains unclear at present. This study employs a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to assess the potential causal links between gut microbiota and the incidence of hyperprol…
BackgroundMethylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) regulates folate metabolism and homocysteine (Hcy) methylation. Impaired folate metabolism and vitamin D deficiency are both closely associated with female reproductive disorders, but th…

The ovaries play essential roles in providing oocytes for fertilization and secreting sex hormones that regulate various organ functions. Autophagy has been implicated in the modulation of ovarian functions, yet its mechanisms of action are…
UNLABELLED: A good quality egg is essential for a successful pregnancy and early embryo development. Oocyte development is vulnerable to environmental exposures. Bisphenol S (BPS) is widely used as a replacement for its analog bisphenol A, …
INTRODUCTION: Primary omental pregnancy (OP) is very rare, and achieving an accurate diagnosis has always been a challenge for obstetricians, gynecologists, and sonographers. Our attempt to utilize intraoperative ultrasonography has facilit…
Ovarian cancer (OC) is a highly lethal gynecologic malignancy because of the absence of specific early symptoms and reliable biomarkers, most OC patients are often diagnosed at advanced stages, resulting in poor prognosis. Traditional tissu…
RATIONALE: The coexistence of intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancies is termed heterotopic pregnancy (HP). Most reported cases of HP occur after assisted reproductive technology, and HP in a natural pregnancy (NP) is very rare, often dis…
BACKGROUND: Uterine fibroids present significant obstetric challenges, particularly in late pregnancy. This study compared the outcomes of cesarean section combined with myomectomy (CS+M) versus cesarean section followed by elective myomect…
OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors influencing clinical pregnancy outcomes in infertile men undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (lCSl) and to establish and validate a nomogram prediction model. METHODS: A total of 1,037 infertile …
BACKGROUND: The plasma concentration of endoxifen, the active metabolite of tamoxifen, might be affected by different CYP2D6 genotypes in patients with breast cancer, but solid evidence is still lacking in Asian patients. This prospective s…
Neutrophils are key immune components in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but the role of ALKBH5 in neutrophil function and RA progression remains unclear. METTL3, METTL14, WTAP, ALKBH5, FTO, YTHDF2, autophagy related gene were investigated by RT…
Abstract Uterine peristalsis involves spontaneous, mild contractions of the sub-endometrial layer in the nonpregnant uterus, playing a crucial role in menstruation and fertility. Disruptions in peristaltic patterns have been linked to cond…
BACKGROUND: It is ambiguous whether the multiple COS with supraphysiologic hormonal doses impact ovarian reserve functions or pregnancy outcomes. The aim is to explore the effect of multiple COS during ART on ovarian reserve function and cl…
OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) for endometriosis-associated pain (EAP). METHODS: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library u…
