INTRODUCTION: Cryptorchidism, a common congenital malformation in male newborns due to abnormal testicular descent, is closely linked to male infertility and germ cell tumors. The study suggested that estrogen response contributes to its oc…
OBJECTIVE: To develop a pre-percutaneous microwave ablation (PMWA) model combining conventional ultrasound (CUS) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for predicting non-perfused volume ratio (NPVR) ≥ 80% in patients with uterine fibroids…
OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis (EMT) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) disproportionately affect middle-aged and older women, where overlapping symptoms (e.g., chronic pelvic pain, bloating) and shared inflammatory mechanisms may drive comorbidi…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to provide guidance for couples in dietary adjustments to optimize trace element concentrations for improved fertility and to offer a reference for formulating precise reproductive health policies. DESIGN: In th…
BACKGROUND: In mammals, precise regulation of primordial follicle activation is essential for maintaining the female reproductive lifespan. In this study, we demonstrated that the vitamin D receptor (VDR) is expressed in both pre-granulosa …
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…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by pain and impaired quality of life (QoL). While pharmacological and surgical options exist, their limitations necessitate complementary strategies. The comparativ…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian endometriomas damage the ovarian structure, alter ovarian inflammation, and impair ovarian reserve. Given the conflicting results, determining an optimal reproductive strategy for women with endometriomas-whether expecta…
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…
INTRODUCTION: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is known to reduce the likelihood of achieving pregnancy or live births in women undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Acupuncture maybe effective for DOR, but current…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the compatibility rules of acupoint selection in acupuncture treatment for infertility using data mining techniques. METHODS: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs)on acupuncture treatment for infertilit…
BACKGROUND: Mast cells (MCs) are pivotal immune cells. Beyond soluble mediators, mast cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MC-EVs) are crucial for intercellular communication. MC-EV heterogeneity, influenced by cellular activation and micro…
BACKGROUND: Migraine is a very common chronic neurological disorder associated with severe disability and significant social burden worldwide. Beyond recurrent headache attacks, increasing evidence indicates that migraine often coexists wit…
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Endometriosis (EMs) is a prevalent and challenging gynecological disease and current therapeutic outcomes are suboptimal. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has numerous advantages in treating EMs. Bushen Wen…
BACKGROUND: This study aims to use non-targeted metabolomics to analyze the metabolic characteristics of follicular fluid in patients with decreased ovarian reserve (DOR) and explore the mediating role of these metabolites in DOR and assist…
BACKGROUND: Oocyte aneuploidy is a major cause of pregnancy failure in women of advanced maternal age (AMA), and current assisted reproductive technologies offer limited effective strategies to prevent age-related decline in oocyte quality.…
Comprehensive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis in oncology involves multiple interrelated tasks including volumetric segmentation, grading, staging, and malignancy detection. However, most existing deep learning models are task-spe…
BACKGROUND: Optimal endometrial thickness and receptivity, precisely regulated by steroid hormones, are critical determinants for successful embryo implantation. Thin endometrium is a major cause of female infertility, yet its pathogenesis …
2,3',4,4',5-Pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB118) is a persistent environmental pollutant associated with adverse female reproductive outcomes; however, its effects on uterine function and epigenetic regulation remain incompletely understood. This s…
Exosomes, as key mediators of intercellular communication, play a central regulatory role in cellular physiological and pathological processes through their dynamic interaction with the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is a dynamic network co…
Exogenous gonadotropin-based estrus synchronization is widely used in livestock reproduction. However, this hormonal treatment has been associated with adverse reproductive outcomes, suggesting that it may alter the uterine environment and …
