Endometriosis (EMs) is a common gynecological disorder. According to the most widely recognized theory of retrograde menstruation, endometrial cells require completion of three key steps during ectopic implantation: adhesion, invasion, and …
BACKGROUND: Using menstrual products is a part of managing menstrual bleeding. Product use may represent individual, social, and economic influences. A few studies on menstrual product use from specific regions in the United States reported…
UNLABELLED: The uterus is a remarkable organ in its ability to undergo extensive tissue damage during menstruation and parturition, yet achieves efficient, scar-free repair. Coordinated regulation of this regenerative process is essential f…
Microfluidic technologies are transforming wearable and implantable biomedical devices by enabling precise, real-time analysis and control of biofluids at the microscale. Integrating soft, biocompatible materials with advanced sensing and f…
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…
Human Methyltransferase-like 16(METTL16) is an independent N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase. Previous studies have proven METTL16 been linked with some types of cancers. However, comparative studies of the relevance of METTL16 acr…
This study investigated the relationship between dyslipidemia prior to conception and the risk of preeclampsia (PE) in women pregnant by in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). The retrospective cohort study consisted of 2994 w…
BACKGROUND: The incidence of caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) has significantly increased due to the increasing prevalence of caesarean deliveries and advances in diagnostic imaging. However, no consensus has yet been reached on the optimal t…
OBJECTIVE: To address the relation among pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), genetic vulnerability and ovarian cancer (OC) risk, we assessed the association between PID and OC risk, alongside the interplay with germline homologous recombinat…
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a prevalent condition among middle‑aged and older women, and is associated with the irregular production and breakdown of the extracellular matrix. Mechanical forces serve a key role in preserving the equilibr…
The therapeutic role and mechanisms of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) in cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced premature ovarian failure (POF) remain unclear. In the present study, female mice were treated with CTX to induce POF, followed by SeNPs…
Adenomyosis (AM) is a common non-cancerous condition of the uterus that has significant effects on women's health. Despite its clinical importance, the advancement of dependable non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers has yet to be achieved. Thi…
The global prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is rising due to rapid lifestyle changes. Although females may be less prone to MASLD than males, specific studies on MASLD in females should still be…
BACKGROUND: The immune system is of paramount importance in maintaining human health and defending against pathogens. Among them, the adaptive immune system is a crucial component of the immune system, as it is responsible for generating an…
Through a combination of single-cell/single-nucleus RNA-Seq (sc/snRNA-Seq) data analysis, immunohistochemistry, and primary macrophage studies, we have identified pathogenic macrophages characterized by Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 3 (TET…
While infections have been implicated in endometriosis pathogenesis, the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) remains unclear. This study combined a meta-analysis of seven studies with a case-control study ( n = 432 surgically treated patient…
OBJECTIVE: The influence of medroxyprogesterone acetate plus conjugated equine estrogens (MPA/CEE) on apolipoproteins and lipoprotein(a) levels has been vastly studied with inconsistent results. These inconsistencies could be attributed to …
BACKGROUND: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a leading cause of low back pain, often linked to inflammation and pyroptosis in nucleus pulposus (NP) cells. The role of Periostin (POSTN) in IDD remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: This study…
The rapid accumulation of biomedical cohort data presents opportunities to explore disease mechanisms, risk factors, and prognostic markers. However, current research often has a narrow focus, limiting the exploration of risk factors and in…
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is identified as a severe chronic immune-related disorder in pancreas, including two subtypes. In this study, pancreatic lesions in patients diagnosed as either type 1 AIP or type 2 AIP are examined, and these …
Spalt-like transcription factor 4 (SALL4) plays a vital role in the progression of many human diseases. However, the role and mechanism of SALL4 regulates in keloid formation remain unclear. The mRNA levels of SALL4 and ubiquitin-specific p…
BACKGROUND: Vitamins, as essential trace organic compounds for the human body, are crucial substances in the maintenance of normal reproductive function. Nevertheless, the effects of vitamins on the activation of primordial follicles and th…
Advanced maternal age (AMA, ≥35 years) women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) face reduced live birth rates (LBR) and remain a major clinical challenge. In a large randomized trial, Zishen Yutai Pill (ZYP) improved LBR in t…
Oxidative stress dysfunction has recently been found to be involved in the pathogenesis of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). Previously, we found that advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) in plasma were elevated in women with PO…
PURPOSE: To evaluate whether co-treatment of repeated GnRHa triggers with GnRH antagonist protocols can improve the clinical outcomes in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET) procedures. …
