PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the pregnancy outcomes of frozen embryo transfer (FET) in patients with persistent chronic endometritis (PCE). METHODS: 186 patients were stratified into three groups: Cured CE (CCE), Cured Persistent …

BACKGROUND: Ultrasound-based deep learning (DL) models for the precise diagnosis of endometrial cancer are insufficient. Our aim is to develop and validate an automatic multi-modal ultrasound DL prediction model for the accurate identificat…

Endometriosis (EM) is driven by immune dysregulation and macrophage dysfunction, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, metabolomic profiling revealed excessive itaconate accumulation in EM lesions, primarily due to elevated ci…

PURPOSE: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic endometrial-like lesions, where aberrant angiogenesis is a hallmark driving lesion establishment and progression. However, the transcripti…

OBJECTIVE: Preterm birth is a major global health issue, with higher rates observed in pregnancies following assisted reproductive technology (ART). This study aimed to develop and validate via the validation set a prediction model for pret…

BACKGROUND: Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been shown to disrupt normal follicular development and ovulation. However, it is unknown which specific PFAS in follicular fluid negatively impact oocyte development and…

PURPOSE: Although observational studies suggest a link between socioeconomic status (SES) and hormone-related gynecologic diseases, the causal direction and mediating mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to explore the causal relation…

BACKGROUND: This study aims to identify the optimal dominant follicle size on the trigger day in patients with ovulatory dysfunction and unexplained infertility undergoing intrauterine insemination with letrozole (LE-IUI) cycles. METHODS: …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) exhibits localised iron overload. However, the contribution of ferroptosis to EM pathogenesis remains unclear. We investigated how iron overload affects CD8⁺ T cell immune function and the underlying ferroptot…

PURPOSE: To elucidatethe epigenetic alteration associated with impaired oogenesis in endometrioma using multi-omic approaches. METHODS: ATAC-seq was performed on the granulosa cells (GCs) of 6 patients (3 with endometrioma and 3 without). …

OBJECTIVE: We carried out this study to explore the possibility of initiating goserelin therapy during the non-menstrual period in patients diagnosed with adenomyosis. METHODS: 115 premenopausal adenomyosis patients were enrolled and divid…

BACKGROUND: Previous research has demonstrated that exposure to individual heavy metals elevates the incidence rate of congenital heart defects (CHDs). However, there is a paucity of data concerning the relationship between combined exposur…

Endometriosis diagnosis is usually delayed. The gold standard for diagnosing endometriosis is laparoscopy, which is invasive and accompanied by several risks. Currently, there are no effective non-invasive biomarkers for diagnosing endometr…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a commonly observed benign gynecological disease that affects the quality of life and social psychology of women of childbearing age. However, because of the unknown etiology and incidence of adenomyosis, its path…

BACKGROUND: To determine whether there is a correlation between stiffness measured by strain elastography and the severity of dysmenorrhea and to determine the value of elastography in evaluating severe dysmenorrhea in patients with adenomy…

Iron is essential for the health of reproductive system, and women with iron overload suffer from ovarian dysfunction and lack effective treatment in fertility preservation. However, the underlying mechanism of the detrimental effects of ir…

Embryo selection in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) mostly relies on morphological assessment using a conventional microscope or the time-lapse monitoring system, which is not comprehensive. Inappropriate levels of reactive …

Abstract Background Adenomyosis is a commonly observed benign gynecological disease that affects the quality of life and social psychology of women of childbearing age. However, because of the unknown etiology and incidence of adenomyosis…

PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop a predictive tool for live birth in women with adenomyosis undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment. METHODS: A total of 424 patients with adenomyosis wh…

OBJECTIVE: This prospective cohort study aimed to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of goserelin 10.8 mg administered trimonthly with goserelin 3.6 mg administered monthly in premenopausal females with symptomatic adenomyosis. METHO…

Changes in the function of peritoneal macrophages contribute to the homeostasis of the peritoneal immune microenvironment in endometriosis. The mechanism by which ectopic tissues escape phagocytic clearance by macrophages to achieve ectopic…

Peritoneal macrophages play a significant role in the progression of endometriosis (EM), but their functional differentiation is still unclear, and their phagocytic ability is weak. CD47-signal-regulated protein α (SIRPα) and PD-L1-PD-1 are…

Abstract Background There is few predictive tools for live birth in women with adenomyosis, which provide further personalized and clinically specific information related to individualized decisions making during IVF/ICSI treatment. Methods…

PURPOSE: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), an aggressive subtype of breast cancer, lacks the three major receptors for predicting outcome or targeting therapy. Hence, our aim was to evaluate the potential of estrogen receptor beta (ERβ)…
