Laparoscopic gynecological surgery, despite its minimally invasive nature, is frequently associated with significant postoperative pain, encompassing somatic, visceral, and referred components. This pain poses challenges to patient recovery…

STUDY QUESTION: How can the potential mechanisms and targets of endometriosis be explored through multi-omics and multi-location approaches? SUMMARY ANSWER: This exploration of the gut-reproductive axis in patients with endometriosis found…

Endometriosis (EM) and chronic endometritis (CE) are both implicated in female infertility, yet the relationship between them remains incompletely understood. In this narrative review, we synthesize non-systematically selected clinical and …

High-throughput omics technologies have transformed our understanding of female reproductive biology, revealing molecular interactions governing oocyte maturation, ovarian reserve, endometrial receptivity, and embryo development, yet most f…

Endometrial polyps (EPs) are common uterine lesions associated with abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility, yet their pathogenesis remains poorly defined. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of normal endometrium, para-polyp, a…

BackgroundAbdominal pregnancy refers to the implantation of a fertilized egg in the abdominal cavity outside of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries; splenic pregnancy is a rare type of abdominal pregnancy.Case presentationOur patient w…

Introduction. Endometriosis affects 10-20% of reproductive-age women. Emerging evidence links the gut microbiota to endometriosis pathogenesis, but observational studies are limited by confounding, reverse causation and uncertainty about wh…

Polycystic ovary syndrome is the primary cause of female infertility. Growing evidence suggests that dysregulation of amino acid metabolism plays a significant role in the onset and progression. However, the underlying mechanism remains unc…

BackgroundAs the main cause of maternal deaths in early pregnancy, delayed diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy (EP) may lead to severe consequences. Patients with pregnancy of unknown location (PUL) exhibit a significantly higher incidence of EP…

Abstract Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition influenced by inflammation and oxidative stress. Dietary vitamin B1 plays a role in reducing oxidative stress, which may influence endometriosis risk. However, limited research exp…

BackgroundOvarian maldescent is a rare congenital anomaly in which one or both ovaries are positioned abnormally above the pelvic brim. However, the potential relationship between ovarian maldescent and infertility remains poorly understood…

Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most serious cardiovascular diseases in the world. Nevertheless, the majority of diagnostic procedures conducted subsequent to the illness do not provide any means to prevent several risks associated…

This study investigates changes in regional homogeneity (ReHo) of the brain in patients with adenomyosis accompanied by dysmenorrhea (AMD) before and after uterine artery embolization (UAE) surgery. ReHo is a resting-state functional magnet…

BackgroundAssisted reproductive technology (ART) effectively treats infertility yet often results in multiple pregnancies. Optimizing clinical pregnancy rates while minimizing multiples remains challenging. Key considerations for ART provid…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder in which immune cells, specifically macrophages, play a pivotal yet incompletely understood role. Aberrations within the eutopic endometrium are implicated in the initiation and progression o…

BACKGROUND Gastric cancer with features of submucosal tumor (GCSMT) is extremely rare and often manifested as poorly differentiated or undifferentiated types, including poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and gastric signet ring cell carci…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecological disease. Previous studies have explored relationships between endometriosis and the microbiota, but none have focused on differences in gut microbiota between early-stage and…

Abstract Introduction Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder characterized by immune dysregulation. This condition profoundly affects the quality of life and reproductive health of nearly 200 million women of rep…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between lipid accumulation product (LAP) and endometriosis using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), because lipid metabolism alterations and obesity have been i…

Ubiquitously distributed in the environment, food supply, and consumer products, endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are exogenous substances that disrupt hormonal activities in the endocrine system. Increasing evidence suggests that wome…

BackgroundInflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic, idiopathic inflammatory disorder of the intestines. Oxymatrine (OMT) is a naturally active substance found in the desiccated roots of Sophora flavescens. It possesses anti-tumor, anti…

BackgroundAs women age, their ovarian follicle pool naturally declines. However, female germline stem cells (FGSCs) possess a unique ability to differentiate into oocytes and continuously self-renew, providing an effective means of delaying…

Peptide- and protein-based therapeutics offer realized and potential benefits to health, due to their potent bioactivity, high specificity, and favorable safety characteristics. However, their widespread clinical application is constrained …

Endometrial fibrosis can lead to uterine infertility. Accurate staging of endometrial fibrosis is crucial for developing treatment plans and performing dynamic follow-ups. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of radiomics models bas…
