The human endometrium, a dynamic tissue responsive to sex hormones, plays a pivotal role in female reproduction and menstrual cycling, comprising diverse cell populations including epithelial and stromal cells. The development of in vitro e…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical efficacy and potential mechanisms of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) combined with High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) in the treatment of adenomyosis, providing evidence-based support for opti…

BACKGROUND: Primary dysmenorrhea (PDM), as a form of chronic pelvic pain, has a complex pathophysiology involving hormonal factors, central nervous system alterations, and maladaptive pain cognition. Previous neuroimaging studies have demon…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Embryo quality serves as a pivotal determinant in assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes, with high-grade embryos correlating with improved pregnancy/live birth rates but poor morphology elevating the risks of im…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate rimegepant’s effectiveness and safety in the short-term prevention of pure menstrual migraine. BACKGROUND: Rimegepant’s effectiveness and safety in both acute and preventive treatment of migraine have been demonstrate…

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants with potential reproductive toxicity, yet their profiles in follicular fluid and impacts on human fertility remain unclear. Given the importance of diet as…

BACKGROUND: Extrauterine adenomyomas (EAs) are rare benign lesions that arise outside the uterus and only rarely involve the lung. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a 34-year-old woman with a history of multiple gynecological surgeries who wa…

De novo mutations (DNMs) are an important source of congenital diseases. With delayed parenthood and assisted reproductive technology (ART) use increasing, it is essential to elucidate how these reproductive factors influence DNMs and wheth…

Endometriosis, a prevalent gynecological disease affecting women's health, involves altered immune function. This study investigates the immune checkpoint protein, V-domain immunoglobulin suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) as a therape…

Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a widely used plasticizer and endocrine disruptor that can impair ovarian function by provoking oxidative stress, mitochondrial injury, and apoptosis in granulosa cells. Lycopene is a diet-derived carote…

Adenomyosis (AM) is a common gynecological disorder with high prevalence among women of childbearing age. Although hysterectomy is the definitive treatment, it is considered unsuitable for patients who wish to preserve fertility, creating a…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and surgical complications and health care utilization among patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) undergoing hysterectomy. METHODS: Using MarketSca…

OBJECTIVE: To compare perioperative safety, efficiency and learning curves of MPLH, RASPH and SPLH, and analyze surgical disparities stratified by uterine volume. We adopted multivariable regression (primary adjusted analysis) and multinomi…

Opportunistic salpingectomy reduces ovarian cancer risk. To examine heterogeneity among physicians in their adoption of opportunistic salpingectomy in hysterectomy practice, we identified 33,401 non-pregnant patients aged 18 to 49 years in …

PURPOSE: To evaluate prediction models for acute postoperative pain (AOPP) and chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) after cancer surgery, prioritizing pain phenotype and cancer type. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Four databases were searched through F…

IntroductionEndometriosis (EMs) is considered the precursor lesions of ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC). This study aimed to identify differentially expressed proteins between OEC and EMs, and to explore the associated biological functi…

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a rare type of tumor originating from peptidergic neurons and neuroendocrine cells, which exhibit neuroendocrine differentiation and neuroendocrine marker expression. NENs can occur in any part of the bod…

ObjectivesThis study investigated the protective effects and mechanisms of rhaponticin (Rha) against acinar cell injury in acute pancreatitis (AP).MethodsPancreatic acinar cell injury was induced using multiple in vitro and in vivo AP model…

PURPOSE: Circulating estrogen metabolites of the 2-, 4- or 16-hydroxyestrone (OH) pathways may be differentially associated with breast cancer risk due to varying estrogenic and genotoxic activity. However, little is known about the influen…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian endometriosis (OEMs) is a primary cause of female infertility and is driven primarily by fibrosis, which disrupts the ovarian follicular microenvironment. Pirfenidone (PFD), an FDA-approved antifibrotic drug, holds promi…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting ~ 10% of reproductive-age women, often causing pelvic pain and infertility. Despite its prevalence, diagnosis remains delayed due to non-specific symptoms and lack of re…

Uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex-cord tumors (UTROSCT) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms with low malignant potential and polyphenotypic immunoprofiles. A 38-year-old nullipara presented with menorrhagia; trans-vaginal ultrasound revealed…

BACKGROUND: Few studies comprehensively examined women's life-course reproductive patterns and the risk of dementia. This study aims to examine the association between women's reproductive life sequence and dementia, and to explore the pote…
