Inflammatory Shift in Chronic Rhinosinusitis Amidst Guangzhou's Urbanization (2000–2018)

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) exhibits temporal and geographic diversity in pathological endotypes with progressive eosinophilic infiltration, while the underlying causes remain unclear. Current pathological endotypes determination relies on mean cell count per high‐power field, requiring accuracy optimization.

Reproductive Challenges of the Ageing Female: A Comprehensive Narrative Review

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changes in societal norms over the last few decades have resulted in novel family planning trends, notably delayed childbearing and increased maternal age at the birth of the first child. Despite advances in reproductive medicine, ageing poses significant challenges.

Elevated CO2 and Temperature Alter Grass Pollen's Ability to Modify Transcriptome and Function of the Nasal Epithelium

Allergy, EarlyView.
We exposed human nasal epithelial tissues to pollen from grasses grown under different climate treatments (temperature and CO2). Pollen weakened epithelial tight junctions and altered cytokine‐related gene expression, with similar protein‐level effects.

Testicular histopathology and its association with germ cell numbers, serum concentrations of reproductive hormones, and semen quality

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background It is well‐established that spermatogenesis, semen quality, and reproductive hormones are interlinked. It is, however, less well‐described how various specific testicular histopathologies are linked to reproductive hormones and semen quality.

Comprehensive Quantification of Oligoasthenozoospermia Induced by Obesity, Reproductive Toxicants, and Their Combination in Rat Models

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oligoasthenozoospermia is a leading cause of male infertility and has been increasingly associated with the global surge in obesity and exposure to reproductive toxicants. Despite extensive research on each factor individually, their combined pathological effects remain poorly understood.

Loss‐of‐Function Variants in CCDC189 Cause Human Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia by Disrupting Sperm Flagellar and Acrosomal Architecture

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT), characterized by reduced sperm count, impaired motility, and abnormal morphology, is a major cause of male infertility with substantial genetic heterogeneity. However, the underlying genetic etiology remains unresolved in a large proportion of affected individuals.
