BACKGROUND: The aetiology and pathogenesis of adenomyosis remain unclear. This study utilised untargeted metabolomics to explore the aberrant amino acid metabolism in adenomyosis. Among the studied metabolites, hydroxyproline is known to pr…
Iron is an essential micronutrient element for human. It participates in energy metabolism, enzyme activation, immune system and other metabolic functions. In this review, the potential role of iron in female reproductive health were consid…
Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease characterized by the invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium of uterus, the pathological mechanism of which remains unclear yet. Disturbed lipid metabolism extensively affe…
BACKGROUND: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a ubiquitous sexually transmitted infection globally, frequently associated with sexual behaviors characterized by increased frequency and multiple partnerships. The relationship between v…
BACKGROUND: Menstrual cycle characteristics are potential indicators of hormonal exposures and may also signal cardiovascular disease risk factors, both of which are relevant to cognitive health. However, there is scarce epidemiological evi…
Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is a common malignancy of the female reproductive system, often diagnosed at advanced stages due to the lack of reliable early biomarkers. Gene methylation has emerged as a key epigenetic mechanism in cancer devel…
BACKGROUND: Endometrial cancer (EC), a type of uterine cancer, is witnessing a global increase in incidence. Despite advancement in diagnosis and treatment, metastatic or recurrent EC often exhibits a poor prognosis, necessitating novel the…
Chronic pain imposes incalculable health and economic burdens, affecting more than 30% of the global population in published studies. Optimal management of chronic pain is imperative for individuals experiencing such distress. Nevertheless,…
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) often have decreased fertility. Gene translation is crucial to oocyte meiosis and development. However, it remains unclear how SLE affects this process. Here, we used single-cell transcriptom…
BACKGROUND: Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is vital for embryo implantation and decidualization. Whether COX2/mPGES1/PGE2 pathway is essential for mouse and human decidualization remains unclear. RESULTS: This study showed that mPGES1 was highly …
PURPOSE: To investigate and compare the clinical characteristics and risk factors between intrinsic and extrinsic adenomyosis (AM), as well as the differences in their perioperative management and findings in the two subtypes. METHODS: Thi…
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…
OBJECTIVES: To estimate the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) and its subtypes among nulliparous Chinese women with associated risk factors. The prevalence of UI among those living in urban or rural communities was also analysed with …
INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive techniques have been widely adopted for hysterectomy, including Transumbilical Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Surgery (TU-LESS) and Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES). Howeve…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis can lead to decreased endometrial receptivity, reduced rates of implantation, and diminished ovarian reserve. Currently, more than 50% of infertile women are found to suffer from endometriosis. However the etiology…
Organoids are three-dimensional tissue analogues grown in vitro. Although they are not human organs in the strict sense, they can mimic the structure and function of tissues in vivo to the maximum extent, and have broad application prospect…
Retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy is an extremely rare form of ectopic pregnancy that can be life-threatening due to severe intra-abdominal hemorrhage. Retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy is frequently misdiagnosed because of its atypical loc…
BACKGROUND: The main characteristics of the robotic surgical system include high-definition three-dimensional imaging, flexible and stable instruments, and an ergonomic console design. Incorporating robotic systems with laparoendoscopic sin…
In recent years, the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in disease has attracted considerable interest, underscoring their potential utility as diagnostic biomarkers. miR‑100, belonging to the miR‑99 family, is integral to the pathophysiological pr…
OBJECTIVE: In order to examine the impact of belimumab on recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) women exhibiting B lymphocyte dysfunction. METHODS: This study conducted a retrospective case-control analysis of RSA patients with confirmed B …
Chronic pain is an extremely prevalent healthcare issue that has a profound impact on individuals and society. Sex and sex hormones regulate the pain threshold differently in males and females in pain processing. However, the regulatory mec…
Adenomyosis is a complex gynecological disease characterized by endometrial tissue invasion into the myometrium. Current interventions, such as hormonal therapy or hysterectomy, are associated with significant side effects and compromise fe…
BACKGROUND: Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) is a heterogeneous syndrome characterized by ovarian dysfunction, frequently associated with autoimmune factors. The interaction between peripheral and ovarian immune signals remains unclear. Rece…
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation is a minimally invasive treatment for benign gynecological diseases, though skin burns remain a potential complication. Understanding risk factors is critical for improving safety. In this s…
