OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with fresh versus cryopreserved sperm retrieved via microdissection testicular sperm extraction (mTESE) in patients with …

Diabetes-associated infertility results from interconnected immunometabolic, oxidative, inflammatory, and endocrine disturbances that impair reproductive function in both sexes. Conventional therapies address individual symptoms but often f…

BACKGROUND: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an agnogenic chronic intestinal inflammatory disease. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell (UMSC) is a potential therapeutic approach against UC; however, the mechanisms underlying their effica…

Intrauterine adhesions (IUA), characterized by endometrial fibrosis, pose a serious threat to women's reproductive health, yet their molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we use single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to profi…

Background/Objectives: Endometrial cancer (EC) is a prevalent gynecological malignancy with an increasing incidence, particularly in developed countries. Recent research has demonstrated the significant involvement of gut and endometrial mi…

Gynecological diseases pose substantial risks to female reproductive health and overall wellbeing. To improve disease prevention and treatment, researchers continue to develop experimental models that faithfully replicate key features of th…

OBJECTIVE: To summarize evidence on the efficacy and safety of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in managing adenomyosis (AM), both as a monotherapy and in combination with other therapies. METHODS: We searched Med…

Understanding human endometrial dynamics in the establishment of endometrial receptivity remains a challenge, which limits early diagnosis and treatment of endometrial-factor infertility. Here, we decode the endometrial dynamics of fertile …

Trained immunity induced by β-glucan insult drives the functional reprogramming of macrophages to the hyperinflammatory status, contributing to developing or maintaining inflammatory diseases. Inflammatory arthritis is characterized by an i…

PURPOSE: Hydrosalpinx reduces the pregnancy outcomes of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Tubal occlusion has been shown to improve IVF-ET success; however, the optimal timing of oocyte retrieval and the molecular changes…

BACKGROUND: While endometriosis (EM) has been previously associated with multiple immune factors, the causal relationship underlying these associations remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: In this study, Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) meth…

BACKGROUND: Aberrant N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is linked to cancer development and progression. However, the role of YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein F2 (YTHDF2), an m6A 'reader protein', in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (N…

Low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (LGSOC) is a rare subtype of ovarian cancer that accounts for approximately 6% to 10% of serous ovarian cancers. The clinical treatment of LGSOC is similar to that of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma, h…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Are there correlations between the biological expression of steroid receptors and the extent of fibrosis in adenomyotic lesions, and the treatment effectiveness of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS…

BACKGROUND: There is a scarcity of prospective clinical research evidence regarding the utilization of transvaginal natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) as a treatment option for ovarian cysts. The objective of this stud…

PURPOSE: To develop a combined diagnostic model integrating the subclassification of the 2022 version of the American College of Radiology (ACR) Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) with carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and to…

BACKGROUND: Robert's uterus combined with transverse uterine septum is a rare uterine malformation. Only one case has been reported to date, and it is challenging to diagnose and treat. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we report the case of a 19-ye…

In this multicenter, non-inferiority, randomized trial, we randomly assigned 992 women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) with a good prognosis (aged 20-40, ≥3 transferrable cleavage-stage embryos) to strategies of blastocyst-stage (n …

BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an unpredictable and potentially fatal disorder. A derailed or unbalanced immune response may be the root of the disease's severe course. Disorders of lipid metabolism are highly correlated with the oc…

Ulcerative colitis (UC), a chronic and nonspecific inflammatory disease of the intestine, has become a prevalent global health concern. This guideline aims to equip clinicians and caregivers with effective strategies for the treatment and m…

Microplastics (MPs) are synthetic solid particles or polymer matrices that range in size from 1 μm to 5 mm. MPs are widely present in the global biosphere, leading to increasing concerns about their impact on human health. In this study, mi…

Paradoxically, tumor development and progression can be inhibited and promoted by the immune system. After three stages of immune editing, namely, elimination, homeostasis and escape, tumor cells are no longer restricted by immune surveilla…

BACKGROUND: The appropriate use of obstetric blood transfusion is crucial for patients with placenta previa and prenatal anemia. This retrospective study aims to explore the correlation between prenatal anemia and blood transfusion-related …

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease among women of reproductive age. It is a chronic estrogen and progestin related inflammatory disease. At present, the main treatments for endometriosis are drug therapy and surgery. In drug th…
