Uterine dendritic cells (uDCs) are critical for endometrial function, yet their origin and functional roles during the pre- and post-implantation periods in the human endometrium remain largely unknown. We hypothesize that distinct uDC subs…

CAPSULE: The gestational age at fetal reduction had no effect on pregnancy outcome when reduction was performed before 17 + 4 weeks. After 17 + 4 weeks, the later the fetal reduction was done, the earlier the delivery and lower the birthwei…

Study questionDoes the type of embryo culture medium affect the birthweight of newborns conceived by ART?Summary answerAfter fresh embryo transfers, singleton newborns in the G5 and HTF groups exhibited higher birthweight z-scores and incre…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to assess the impact of different embryo transfer strategies, focusing on cleavage-stage embryos and blastocysts, on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles among wom…

OBJECTIVE: A growing number of research papers have looked at the influence of exercise on pain severity in people with primary dysmenorrhea, but the findings have been inconsistent. The purpose of this research was to thoroughly evaluate t…

The expression and function of the receptor are controlled by epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and noncoding RNAs. These modifications play a pivotal role in receptor activity and can lead to or exacerbate …

BACKGROUND: Melatonin is mainly secreted by the pineal gland during darkness and regulates biological rhythms through its receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus. In addition, it also plays a role in the reproductive sy…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disease associated with reproductive and metabolic abnormalities. The aim of this study was to elucidate the effects of Schisandra rubriflora (S. rubriflora) on PCOS and its relat…

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The objective was to investigate the expressions and significance of IGF-1, pAKT, pS6, and type I and type III collagens in uterosacral ligaments of patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). METHODS: A total o…

AIM: Infertility is a growing global health issue affecting millions worldwide. While endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and unexplained infertility are recognized as the major contributors, their specific burden and impact o…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common, chronic, estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder that significantly affects patients' quality of life. However, the disease burden and its trends may be undergoing significant changes, and comprehens…

BACKGROUND: To describe the evolution and outcomes of protocol-orientated multidisciplinary quality improvement for clinically confirmed placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders mainly receiving uterine preservation. METHODS: This single-…

BACKGROUND: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) currently lacks highly specific biomarkers for clinical screening. This study aimed to identify and validate novel auxiliary diagnostic markers for EOC. METHODS: Through integrated analysis of tr…

BACKGROUND Primary retroperitoneal tumors (PRTs) are uncommon, with retroperitoneal dermoid cysts being particularly rare. The cystic cavity of mature cystic teratomas (dermoid cysts) is lined with squamous epithelium and primarily filled w…

RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the lipidomic alterations in the myometrial tissue from adenomyotic lesions? DESIGN: This was a two-centre, prospective, observational study conducted between July 2023 and June 2024. Forty-four premenopausal pa…

Cholecystectomy is often excessively utilized in the management of gallbladder polyps. It is crucial to effectively differentiate between adenomatous and cholesterol polyps to reduce unnecessary cholecystectomies. This study aimed to invest…

BACKGROUND: To assess the utility of the TCGA molecular classification of endometrial cancer in a well-annotated, moderately sized, consecutive cohort of Chinese patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC). METHODS: We performed DNA …

Endometrial receptivity is essential for successful pregnancy, and endometriosis is widely recognized as a disruptor of this process. Poor endometrial receptivity is also a key factor contributing to recurrent implantation failure. Although…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue in the non-uterine cavity, resulting in dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, and infertility. Epidemiologic data have suggested the c…

Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common gynecologic malignancy that often exhibits molecular features such as extensive somatic copy number alterations, microsatellite instability and frequent TP53 mutations, which considerably affect the physi…

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…

The hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS) family participates in key physiological processes such as follicular development, oocyte maturation, ovulation, and embryo implantation by regulating the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, and plays an importa…

BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted laparoscopic single-site hysterectomy is popular among patients and surgeons due to good cosmetic outcomes and fast recovery. However, questions remain such as loss of triangulation and instrument collision. Our…

BACKGROUND: Hysteroscopy is a common procedure in assisted reproductive technology (ART) and serves as the gold standard for diagnosing and treating uterine cavity lesions. However, there is currently a lack of research on the impact of ope…
