Endometriosis (EM) is a severe chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, causing pain and significantly reducing quality of life. Worldwide, around 10% of women of repr…

BACKGROUND: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a common infection among women of reproductive age, primarily caused by sexually transmitted pathogens such as Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Emerging evidence suggests that…

PurposeAcute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disorder with rising global incidence. Substantial progress in elucidating AP pathophysiology has been achieved over the past two decades. This study aims to assess the evolution of AP patho…

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is an endogenous fatty acid amide that has garnered significant attention due to its potential multiple antitumor mechanisms. This review first explores the current statuses and challenges faced in tumor preventi…

BACKGROUND: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a common gynecological disorder that seriously affects women's physical and mental health, yet there are few effective therapeutic options. OBJECTIVE: Mendelian randomization (MR) has been u…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecological disorder closely linked with diminished fertility potential that poses significant challenges in pharmacological management. Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen, DS), a traditional Ch…

PURPOSE: Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) exhibits ovarian dysfunction characteristics, which develops from diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). However, the pathogenesis remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to analyze the causal relati…

Ovarian cancer (OC) remains one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies, largely due to its late-stage diagnosis and high recurrence rates. Chronic inflammation is a critical driver of OC progression, contributing to immune evasion, t…

PURPOSE: Endometriosis is a common chronic neuroinflammatory disease with a poorly understood pathogenesis. Molecular changes and specific immune cell infiltration in the eutopic endometrium are critical to disease progression. This study a…

The NOD-like receptor family containing pyridine domain 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome serves as a pivotal mediator of innate immune responses and a central driver of inflammatory processes. Upon detection of pathogenic or danger-associated signals…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with impacts on reproduction, health and quality of life, yet its diagnosis is often delayed. Ovarian endometrioma (OMA) is the most common subtype of endometriosis. The establishme…

BACKGROUND: Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) is a heterogeneous syndrome characterized by ovarian dysfunction, frequently associated with autoimmune factors. The interaction between peripheral and ovarian immune signals remains unclear. Rece…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, often leading to pain, infertility, and psychological distress. Effective perioperative care is c…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is frequently treated with Paeoniae Radix. It contains Tellimagrandin II, which has the role of modulating immunity and anti-tumor. Therefore, we will explore the effects of Tellimagrandin II on the apoptosis and i…

BackgroundChronic pancreatitis (CP) is characterized by significant pancreatic exocrine dysfunction, with limited targeting therapeutic strategies. It has been reported that DCHD can effectively alleviate pancreatic injury in chronic pancre…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate alterations in immune cell counts within preovulatory follicles of patients with poor ovarian response (POR) during assisted reproductive technology (ART), classified according to the POSEIDON crite…

INTRODUCTION: Immunoglobulin G (IgG) glycosylation affects its effector functions and is essential in many steps of the inflammatory cascade. Therefore, it may be an important parameter for assessing the body's immune response during the co…

PurposeProtectin D1 (PD1), a biologically active molecule derived from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), plays a major role in the body's endogenous lipid-mediated inflammatory response. The study aims to explore the relationship between PD1, inf…

PurposeEarly detection of hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP) with exacerbation tendency is crucial for clinical decision-making and improving prognosis. The aim of this study was to establish a reliable model for the early prediction …

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic estrogen-dependent condition characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, posing a significant burden on reproductive-aged women. Previous research has shown a corr…

BACKGROUND: An important factor in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is chronic low-grade inflammation. However, the exact pathophysiology of PCOS is currently unknown, which makes clinical diagnosis and the development o…

BACKGROUND: This study retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 200 patients with endometrial hyperplasia to predict the risk of concurrent endometrial cancer. METHODS: Patients were categorized into either the endometrial cancer gr…

PURPOSE: Ferroptosis is an underlying mechanism for various degenerative diseases, but its role in intervertebral disc degeneration remains elusive. This study aims to explore the key ferroptosis-related genes and its role in nucleus pulpos…

Lactic acid (LA) is an essential glycolytic metabolite and energy source in the body, which is present in high levels in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is a reliable indicator for identifying inflammatory …

Inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-36 (IL-36), IL-37, IL-38 belong to IL-1 family. The IL-36 subfamily obtains pro- and anti-inflammatory effects on various immune responses. Cytokine IL-37, has anti-inflammatory functions in immunity, and…
