BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a common hormone-dependent and chronic inflammatory disease affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Laparoscopic surgery is a primary tre…

BACKGROUND: To a large extent, the ovarian reserve determines a woman's reproductive potential. The etiological and pathological mechanisms of diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) remain unclear, and no reliable treatment is currently available…

BACKGROUND: Preimplantation embryos in vivo are exposed to various growth factors in the female reproductive tract that are absent in in vitro embryo culture media. Cell-free fat extract exerts antioxidant, anti-ageing, and ovarian function…

Antibodies have been widely used globally over the past decade and play an increasingly important role in modern medicine. Notably, significant advancements have been achieved in the realm of gynecology, particularly in gynecological cancer…

Pregnancy is a special time during which some benign hormonally-responsive lesions could grow and mimic malignancy on clinical evaluation and imaging. Though decidualization of ovarian endometrioma has been reported, little is known about d…

INTRODUCTION: Pregnancy is a special time during which some benign hormonally-responsive lesions could grow and mimic malignancy on clinical evaluation and imaging. Though decidualization of ovarian endometrioma has been reported, little is…

Reduced lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF1) expression in patients with adenomyosis during the mid-secretory phase leads to impaired endometrial receptivity, affecting embryo implantation. This study investigated the molecular mechani…

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a widely used chemical in industrial production. It can be introduced into the environment through multiple pathways and exhibits resistance to degradation. Recent research has demonstrated a significant …

CAPSULE: The gestational age at fetal reduction had no effect on pregnancy outcome when reduction was performed before 17 + 4 weeks. After 17 + 4 weeks, the later the fetal reduction was done, the earlier the delivery and lower the birthwei…

BackgroundEndoscopic gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy (EGPC) has become an alternative option for treating cholecystolithiasis. However, developing a new method of EGPC in which the gallbladder wall is not damaged remains a challe…

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) represents a rare and aggressive subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer with distinctive clinical and molecular characteristics. However, the identification, origin, and molecular features of the malignant …

BACKGROUND: This retrospective study aimed to examine the influence of hormonal and metabolic parameters across varying body mass index (BMI) levels on embryo quality and pregnancy outcomes in fresh embryo transfer cycles using assisted rep…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common benign gynecologic disease in women of reproductive age, and its manifestations remarkably decrease quality of life. Lactate, as a metabolite, exerts prominent effects across a wide range of biological …

BACKGROUND: To distinguish and co-detect aneuploid CD31- tumor cells (TCs) and CD31+ tumor endothelial cells (TECs) may have significant diagnostic values for cervical cancer screening. However, there are very few relevant studies. In the p…

INTRODUCTION: Mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a recently recognized, rare subtype of endometrial carcinoma that can also arise in the ovary. Ovarian MLA is uncommon and often misdiagnosed due to its varied growth patterns and overl…

INTRODUCTION: Animal reproduction is a highly complex process influenced by numerous factors, and previous study has suggested that Hungatella hathewayi (HH) may have potential benefits for swine reproduction. Building on these findings, th…

Early screening and diagnosis, precise treatment and prognosis prediction are pivotal for enhancing cancer patients' survival rates and for improving their life quality, it is the same case in gynecological malignancies. Among gynecological…

This study aims to investigate the effect and mechanism of resveratrol (RES) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced injury in goat granulosa cells (GCs). First, the appropriate time and concentration were screened for LPS (4 μg/mL, 12 h), RES …

Endometriosis, a prevalent gynecological disorder marked by ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, demonstrates malignant tumor-like properties including aggressive adhesion and invasiveness. Emerging evidence implicates roundabout guid…

Background & aimsIntestinal barrier dysfunction plays an important role in the development of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). The aim of our study was to investigate the role of single immunoglobulin IL-1 receptor-related molecule (SIGIRR)…

OBJECTIVE: Intrauterine Adhesions (IUA), including Asherman's Syndrome, are a significant cause of female infertility, while stem cell interventions emerge as a promising therapeutic strategy. This meta-analysis aims to systematically evalu…

Biofilms are ubiquitous surface-associated bacterial communities embedded in an extracellular matrix. It is commonly assumed that biofilm cells are glued together by the matrix; however, how the specific biochemistry of matrix components af…

Background: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is characterized by chemoresistance and poor prognosis in advanced or recurrent cases. This study aimed to find specific prognostic markers for OCCC. Methods: We analyzed 169 OCCC patients for…

OBJECTIVES: Early menarche affects the mental and physical health of girls, but the evidence of the association between birth weight/rapid weight gain and early menarche is inconsistent. We conduct this systematic review and meta-analysis t…

RATIONALE: Endometrial stromal sarcoma is an extremely rare mesenchymal neoplasm occurring in the extrauterine. Retroperitoneal endometrial stromal sarcoma with multiple pulmonary metastases, in particular, is extremely rare. PATIENT CONCE…
