Background: While extensive research highlighted the involvement of metabolism and immune cells in female reproductive diseases, causality remains unestablished.
Methods: Instrumental variables for 486 circulating metabolites ( = 7824) and 731 immunophenotypes ( = 3757) were derived from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis. FinnGen contributed data on 14 female reproductive disorders. A bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization study was performed to determine the relationships between exposures and outcomes. The robustness of results, potential heterogeneity, and horizontal pleiotropy were examined through sensitivity analysis.
Results: High levels of mannose were found to be causally associated with increased risks of gestational diabetes (GDM) (OR [95% CI], 6.02 [2.85-12.73], = 2.55 × 10). A genetically predicted elevation in the relative count of circulating CD28CD25CD8 T cells was causally related to increased female infertility risk (OR [95% CI], 1.26 [1.14-1.40], = 1.07 × 10), whereas a high absolute count of NKT cells reduced the risk of ectopic pregnancy (OR [95% CI], 0.87 [0.82-0.93], = 5.94 × 10). These results remained consistent in sensitivity analyses.
Conclusions: Our study supports mannose as a promising GDM biomarker and intervention target by integrating metabolomics and genomics.

Background: Dermal clear cell sarcoma (DCCS) is a rare malignant mesenchymal neoplasm. Owing to the overlaps in its morphological and immunophenotypic profiles with a broad spectrum of tumors exhibiting melanocytic differentiation, it is frequently misdiagnosed as other tumor entities in clinical practice. By systematically analyzing the clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotypic features, and molecular biological properties of DCCS, this study intends to further enhance pathologists' understanding of this disease and provide a valuable reference for its accurate diagnosis.

Background: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) affect up to 10% of pregnancies and can have adverse short and long-term implications for women and their babies. eHealth interventions include any health service or treatment delivered using the internet and related technology that aims to facilitate, capture, or exchange knowledge. eHealth interventions are increasingly used across many health care settings with improved outcomes.

Study Question: Does weight loss from a hypocaloric dietary intervention improve antral follicle dynamics in women with PCOS?
Summary Answer: During a 3-month hypocaloric dietary intervention, women with PCOS who experienced clinically meaningful weight loss showed more organized antral follicle development including fewer recruitment events, but no change in the overall frequency of selection, dominance, or ovulation.
What Is Known Already: There is a spectrum of disordered antral follicle development in women with PCOS including excessive follicle recruitment and turnover, decreased frequency of selection and dominance, and failure of ovulation. Lifestyle intervention aimed at weight loss is recommended to improve metabolic health in women with PCOS yet benefits on ovarian follicle development and ovulation are unclear.
