Ovarian cancer(OC) poses a significant clinical challenge due to its frequent peritoneal dissemination and development of chemotherapy resistance, contributing to poor patient outcomes. Chronic inflammation is a pivotal driver of disease in…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinicopathologic characteristics and survival outcomes of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) patients with different endometriosis statuses. METHODS: This retrospective study included OCCC patients diagnosed be…

ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare the perioperative outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) and dual-port laparoscopic myomectomy in patients with solitary uterine fibroids.MethodsThis retrospective observational study in…

BackgroundMore than 500 patients have received cryopreserved ovarian tissue transplantation (OTT) worldwide, resulting in over 200 live births. Although guidelines recognize OTT as an effective fertility preservation method, there is no con…

BackgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting various physiological systems and tissues, including the reproductive organs in men. However, the consequences of DM for male individuals undergoing as…

Phthalate metabolites Mono- (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate(MEHP) and Phthalic Acid Monobenzyl Ester (MBZP) are widely present in the environment, can interfere with the endocrine system and accumulate in human tissues, and are closely related to …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs), a common gynecological disorder, involves complex molecular mechanisms. Metabolic reprogramming (MR) has been recognized as a hallmark of EMs, contributing to lesion survival and immune microenvironment remo…

Human genetics supports a causal involvement of IL-6 signaling in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, prompting the clinical development of anti-IL-6 therapies. Genetic evidence has historically focused on IL6R missense variants, but em…

This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of relative change in E2 levels during controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) on embryo development and pregnancy outcomes in assisted reproductive technology (ART). We retrospectively analyze…

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…

BACKGROUND: Surgical intervention is the main treatment for endometriosis, and effective postoperative care is crucial for long-term health. This study examined the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of patients with endometriosis in…

OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the therapeutic potential of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in acute pancreatitis (AP), focusing on its effects on lipid metabolism, inflammatory responses, and pancreatic tissue integrity. The study …

PurposePolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is currently recognized as a condition that affects several systems in the body, including the reproductive, endocrine, and cardiovascular systems. Prevalent among teenagers and women of reproductive …

INTRODUCTION: Dynamic changes in adenomyotic lesions in animal models have been difficult to observe and evaluate in vivo on a regular basis. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the feasibility of establishing a rat model of adenomyos…

BackgroundEndometrial cancer represents a significant health challenge, with rising incidence and complex prognostic challenges. This study aimed to develop a robust predictive model integrating programmed cell death-related genes and advan…

BackgroundUreteral reimplantation plays a crucial role in distal ureteral reconstruction, and the integration of robotic systems has greatly enhanced minimally invasive surgical techniques. This pilot study aims to evaluate the technically …

Spontaneous hemoperitoneum in pregnancy is extremely rare but may cause severe hemorrhage, resulting in a high rate of mortality. We report a case of a primigravid woman who complained of middle-upper abdominal pain. She was admitted to our…

ObjectiveEvaluate the adjuvant effects of oral nutritional supplements including vitamins, coenzyme Q10, and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on fertility in patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR).MethodsWe conducted a generalized expl…

The global prevalence of obesity continues to rise, posing a threat to health, especially among women, where obesity can lead to reproductive endocrine disorders. Adipose tissue interacts with endocrine hormones, including insulin, leptin, …

In β‑thalassemia, excessive α‑globin chain impedes the normal development of red blood cells resulting in anemia. Numerous miRNAs, including miR‑6747‑3p, are aberrantly expressed in β‑thalassemia major (β‑TM), but there are no reports on th…

Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) offers several distinct advantages, including an optimal cosmetic result, early resumption of flatus and a shorter hospital stay. This minimally invasive approach has been inc…

PurposeThis study aimed to conduct an observational analysis of the association between hysterectomy status and the risk of developing hypertension, and to determine the causality of that relationship through a Mendelian randomization (MR) …

The prostate is a vital accessory gonad in the mammalian male reproductive system. With the ever-increasing proportion of the population over 60 years of age worldwide, the incidence of prostate diseases, such as benign prostatic hyperplasi…

BackgroundAppendiceal intussusception is a pathological condition in which the appendix is inverted into the cecum, which may cause symptoms that resemble those of other gastrointestinal disorders and may induce intestinal obstruction. The …

BackgroundLaparoscopic and robotic-assisted techniques have gained popularity, and endometrial cancer (EC) remains a significant health problem among women.ObjectiveMinimally invasive surgical (MIS) therapy options for early endometrial can…
