OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of hysteroscopic endometrial ablation and identify independent predictors associated with postoperative recurrence in women with refractory abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). MET…
Environmental estrogens, a group of exogenous endocrine-active compounds, are frequently present in animal feed, water, and husbandry environments. These compounds, which include synthetic xenoestrogens, phytoestrogens, and metalloestrogens…
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms that predominantly originate in the gastrointestinal tract. Extra-gastrointestinal GISTs can occur in atypical locations such as the pelvis, which may mimic gynecologic …
BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have suggested that assessing endometrial and subendometrial blood flow can contribute to the evaluation of endometrial receptivity. However, there remains a lack of unified expert consensus regarding the assess…
Previous research has indicated a potential link between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and ectopic pregnancy (EP), but the underlying causal relationship remains unclear. We performed a 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to investi…
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a heterogeneous condition in which visceral, musculoskeletal, neuropathic, and pain-processing contributors often overlap. Pelvic floor ultrasound can depict morphology and movement, but its CPP-specific evidenc…
BACKGROUND: The positive effects of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on oocyte and embryo quality improvement are often concerned. While the results on DHEA-induced endometrial improvement are controversial. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether DHE…
IMPORTANCE: Perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS) is a short-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) that has emerged as a significant public health concern due to its widespread environmental contamination and persistent nature. While P…
Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease characterized by the invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium of uterus, the pathological mechanism of which remains unclear yet. Disturbed lipid metabolism extensively affe…
Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) offers significant benefits in hysterectomy, including reduced postoperative pain, minimal scarring, and faster recovery. However, the cost and accessibility of surgical …
BACKGROUND: Preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) has been widely utilized to select euploid embryos in patients carrying balanced chromosomal rearrangements (BCRs) by chromosome copy number anal…
INTRODUCTION: Increasing evidence has indicated that prescription opioid use is associated with poor prognosis in patients with fibromyalgia. However, it remains unknown whether there are causal associations between prescription opioid and …
Growing evidence suggests that perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) contribute to reproductive toxicity, with perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) being the most extensively studied. These chemicals are known to low…
Endometrial large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is a highly malignant tumor that presents with neuroendocrine function. It is difficult to diagnose at an early stage. Moreover, the diagnosis depends on the pathological and immunohis…
Investigating the human fallopian tube (FT) microbiota has significant implications for understanding the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer (OC). In this large prospective study, we collected swabs intraoperatively from the FT and other surgic…
INTRODUCTION: Microwave ablation (MWA) effectively treats adenomyosis, yet symptom recurrence remains challenging. Thus, our study aims to explore the independent risk factors related to symptom recurrence after MWA of symptomatic adenomyos…
Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma (WDPM) is a rare mesothelial tumor of uncertain malignant potential. We present a unique case of a woman with synchronous WDPM and well-differentiated endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EA) arising from …
AimTo identify the association between serum beta-2-microglobulin (B2M) or cystatin C (CysC) and asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA).MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, 265 subjects were enroll…
BACKGROUND: Frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) is thought to be associated with obstetric and neonatal complications after in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic single sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) treatment. The study aimed to determine wh…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the effect of COX-2 selective inhibitor (celecoxib) on adenomyosis and its mechanism. METHODS: By establishing a mouse model of adenomyosis and using celecoxib to treat adenomyosis, newly born female …
BACKGROUND: Infertility is a reproductive health problem which affects not only individuals, families and social populations. Recently, the infertility rate in China has a trend of increase year by year, and few studies have reported the in…
BACKGROUND: Research into the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMs) would substantially promote its effective treatment and early diagnosis. However, the aetiology of EMs is poorly understood and controversial despite the progress in EMs rese…
UNLABELLED: Pelvic pain, infertility, and a high postoperative recurrence rate are associated with endometriosis and adversely affect the physical and mental health of patients. Moreover, these factors place a heavy burden on families and s…
Recently, a growing body of evidence has suggested that abnormal ovarian angiogenesis, secondary to the imbalance between various angiogenic markers, is involved in the pathogenesis of PCOS, and this has led to the use of various interventi…
