ObjectiveTo investigate the value of blood-brain barrier (BBB) injury markers [S100β protein, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), cerebrospinal fluid/serum albumin ratio (QAlb)] and peripheral inflammatory markers [tumor necrosis factor-α (…

BackgroundOvarian cancer remains one of the deadliest gynecologic malignancies. Poor outcomes largely reflect late diagnosis, marked inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity, and variable treatment response.MethodsThis review summarizes recent…

OBJECTIVE: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is primarily characterized by neonatal jaundice and acute/chronic hemolytic anemia. This study aimed to examine the influence of different G6PD genotypes on pregnancy and neonat…

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of global mortality and has been linked to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance. The C-reactive protein-triglyceride-glucose index (CTI), a composite biomarker integrat…

OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of blood-invigorating and stasis-resolving Chinese herbal medicines (BISMs) when combined with conventional clinical therapy for endometriosis, and to provide evidence-based guid…

Abstract Background Synchronous multiple primary malignancies (SMPMs) of the uterus and ovary are uncommon and diagnostically challenging, as they must be distinguished from metastatic spread of a single primary tumor. Accurate assessme…

BackgroundDiminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is a major cause of infertility and remains a core challenge in reproductive medicine. Although previous studies have suggested that acupuncture may improve reproductive outcomes in infertile women…

OBJECTIVES: Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), a steroid progesterone, is widely used to treat endometriosis, menstrual disorders, and uterine bleeding in clinical practice. However, the safety profile of MPA requires comprehensive evaluati…

BACKGROUND: Synchronous multiple primary malignancies (SMPMs) involving the uterus and ovary pose significant diagnostic challenges, particularly in distinguishing independent primary tumors from metastatic disease when tumors exhibit overl…

Endometriosis diagnosis is often limited by the resolution of conventional imaging techniques (ultrasound/non-targeted MRI) as well as the invasiveness and recurrence risks associated with laparoscopy. To overcome these challenges, we devel…

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) has emerged as a highly promising therapeutic target due to its critical role in the pathogenesis and progression of endometriosis. To date, a variety of FGFR2 inhibitors have exhibited remarkable…

Endometriosis is a common, chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, frequently associated with significant morbidities such as pelvic pain and infertility. Elucidati…

BackgroundIn-vitro-fertilization (IVF) failure rates remain above 65% with unknown causes. Uterine receptivity, largely determined by uterine peristalsis, is believed to play a key role in the IVF success. Accurate assessment of uterine per…

ObjectiveThis study investigates the relationship between uterine artery blood flow parameters and the number of miscarriages, etiology, treatment protocol, and pregnancy outcomes in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL).MethodsA ret…

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is closely associated with systemic low-grade inflammation, yet evidence regarding erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), a cost-effective and stable inflammatory marker, in reproductive-aged women …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and short-term efficacy of magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) for adenomyosis-associated dysmenorrhea. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective single-center cohort…

Infected wounds heal considerably slowly among patients with diabetes because of biofilm barriers and immune dysregulation. Therefore, treatment strategies must simultaneously eliminate infection and accelerate healing. In this study, we pr…

Pregnant women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) have an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), potentially linked to altered immune regulation, but the underlying circulating immune features remain unclear. …

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…

Biofilm accumulation and subsequent implant-related infections pose significant challenges in the biomedical field. Photocatalytic coatings hold promise for antimicrobial efficacy; however, their effectiveness in dynamic polymicrobial infec…

PurposeTo investigate the impact of regressed endometrial hyperplasia (EH) on assisted reproductive technology outcomes, particularly in comparison with infertile women with a relatively normal endometrium.MethodsThis retrospective study in…

Adenomyosis is a common and difficult disease in gynecology. Its main clinical manifestations include uterine hypertrophy, excessive menstruation, pelvic pain and infertility, which have a serious impact on women's health. Seriously affects…

BackgroundThe Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) ultrasound (US) is a standardized tool for assessing adult adnexal lesions, but its performance in the pediatric population has not been fully validated. This study aimed to v…

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…

PurposeARID1A, encoding a component of the switch/sucrose nonfermentable complex, is frequently mutated in urothelial carcinoma. However, its specific impacts on clinical outcomes and CD8+ T-cell functions in urothelial carcinoma remain poo…
