Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing, and remitting disease characterized by chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. The exact etiology and pathogenesis of IBD remain elusive. Although ELF-1 has been known to…

BackgroundFertility status is a marker of future health, and female infertility has been shown to be an important medical and social problem. Life's Essential 8 ("LE8") is a comprehensive cardiovascular health assessment proposed by the Ame…

The aim of the case control study was to compare surgical outcomes of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) hysterectomy with the da Vinci surgical system (dVSS) and conventional vNOTES. A case control study …

BackgroundImbalances in alkali elements (AEs) and alkaline earth elements (AEEs) cause reproductive disorders. However, it remains unclear whether AEs/AEEs in follicular fluid have a relationship with the serious reproductive disorder known…

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…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Are there correlations between the biological expression of steroid receptors and the extent of fibrosis in adenomyotic lesions, and the treatment effectiveness of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS…

This article presents three detailed case reports and a brief review of the literature on a rare manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) known as Pseudo-Pseudo Meigs' Syndrome (PPMS). The patients' condition was characterized by…

PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics, treatment strategies, and prognosis of cervical clear cell carcinoma (CCCC) in patients not exposed to diethylstilbestrol in utero.MethodsThe patients dia…

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) has an East Asian preponderance. It is associated with endometriosis, a benign condition where endometrial (inner lining of the uterus) tissue is found outside the uterus and on the peritoneal surface, in …

PurposeThis study aims to create and validate a clinical model that predict the probability of blastocyst formation in IVF/ICSI-ET cycles.MethodsThis study employed a retrospective methodology, gathering data from 4961 cleavage-stage embryo…

PurposeTo verify whether there is lower incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment than loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) in young women of childbearing age.Patients and met…

BackgroundThe preconception period is a window of opportunity to influence maternal and pregnancy outcomes. Inappropriate use of antibiotics results in gut dysbiosis and may affect host reproductive health through multiple dimensions. Anima…

Epilepsy is a prevalent neurological disorder among women globally, often requiring long-term treatment. Hormonal fluctuations in women with epilepsy (WWE) can have reciprocal effects on epilepsy and antiseizure medications (ASMs), posing s…

BackgroundTo identify incidence and underlying risk factors for unsuspected placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) and compare the maternal outcomes between suspected and unsuspected cases in three large academic referral centers.MethodsA retrospe…

BackgroundBiosynthesis of 17β-estradiol (E2) is a crucial ovarian function in mammals, which is essential for follicular development and pregnancy outcome. Exploring the epigenetic regulation of E2 synthesis is beneficial for maintaining ov…

Macrophages are innate immune cells present in all tissues and play an important role in almost all aspects of the biology of living organisms. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by cells and transport their contents (micro RNAs, mRN…

Shaofuzhuyu Decoction (SFZYD) is a classical formula for treating endometriosis of cold coagulation and blood stasis (ECB). The clinical efficacy is definite, but the potential mechanisms require further exploration. The study aimed to reve…

Melatonin plays a critical role in regulating embryo attachment in ruminants. While numerous studies have investigated its effects on early embryo development in vitro, the precise mechanisms by which melatonin influences the receptivity of…

BackgroundObservational studies have revealed associations between maternal lipid metabolites and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, whether these associations are causal remain uncertain.ObjectiveTo evaluate the causal relations…

Follicular atresia is the primary threat to female fertility. miRNAs are dysregulated in granulosa cells (GCs) during follicular atresia, and have emerged as crucial regulators of the initiation and progression of follicular atresia. Howeve…

DNA damage is a key factor affecting gametogenesis and embryo development. The integrity and stability of DNA are fundamental to a woman's successful conception, embryonic development, pregnancy and the production of healthy offspring. Agin…

PurposeFerroptosis 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 pulposus…

BackgroundOvarian reactivity to gonadotrophin stimulation varies, and individual adjustments to the timing and dose of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist administration are necessary to prevent excessive increases and decreas…
