INTRODUCTION: Dramatic alterations of the extracellular matrix (ECM), which can regulate cell behavior by binding to adhesion molecules and are intrinsically linked to immune regulation, occur in decidualization during early pregnancy. Deci…

Endometriosis, a complex gynecological disorder characterized by aberrant growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, poses a significant challenge to women's health. Emerging evidence implicates environmental pollutants, parti…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of chromosomal aneuploidy screening and secondary vitrification-warming on the pregnancy and neonatal outcomes of non-biopsied, previously vitrified embryos. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study include…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the perioperative outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) and dual-port laparoscopic myomectomy in patients with solitary uterine fibroids. METHODS: This retrospective observational st…

BACKGROUND: Rectal endometriosis is a complex condition requiring multidisciplinary treatment. Accurate preoperative assessment is critical for selecting the appropriate surgical technique, with transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and endorectal …

This retrospective cohort study evaluated whether gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) used for luteal support during antagonist cycles improved pregnancy outcomes in patients undergoing fresh embryo transfer. We examined 3,115 p…

Fungal biofilms, as self-produced extracellular polymeric substances that resist antifungal agents and immune defense, represent a major cause of treatment failure and recurrent infections. Therefore, it is of great importance to eradicate …

BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas marked by inflammation and acinar cell necrosis. Scutellariae Barbata (S. Barbata), a traditional Chinese herb for inflammation, has unclear efficacy for AP. PU…

BACKGROUND: Opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) protocols using esketamine and dexmedetomidine have shown potential benefits for perioperative pain control with fewer side effects. We explored whether an esketamine–dexmedetomidine OFA regimen acce…

AIMS: The present study aimed to examine the roles of circRNA-circSMAD2 and its regulatory mechanisms in endometriosis (EMs). BACKGROUND: Evidence has confirmed that circRNAs play multiple roles in regulating the occurrence and development…

Neuropathic pain causes plasticity in the nervous system, which is often associated with altered protein synthesis. Proteins are the key executors of cellular functions, and their alteration is closely related to the occurrence of neuropath…

This study aimed to elucidate the role of microRNA-92a-3p (miR-92a-3p) in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis. We examined how miR-92a-3p, found in exosomes derived from ectopic lesions, influences the behaviour of endometrial cells, dorsal roo…

Single and multiple endometrial polyps (EP) are common gynecological conditions with differing recurrence rates, influencing clinical treatment decisions. This study aimed to characterize the reproductive tract microbiome in both subtypes t…

RESEARCH QUESTION: While growth hormone (GH) is hypothesized to potentially enhance embryo quality, results of current basic and clinical researches remain inconclusive. This study assesses the effect of GH supplementation on embryo quality…

BACKGROUND: Urinary incontinence (UI) is commonly linked to pregnancy and obstetric factors, but the association between fetal birthweight and maternal UI remains contentious. This study investigates the association between fetal birthweigh…

The onset of pregnancy is marked by the formation of a zygote, while the culmination of gestation is manifested by the delivery of a fetus. Meanwhile, a successful pregnancy entails a meticulously coordinated sequence of events from embryo …

BACKGROUND: Epidermal cysts are benign subcutaneous masses resulting from the implantation of epithelial cells, following trauma or surgery. Giant spontaneous epidermal cysts of the labia minora are rare. To date, only 3 cases of epidermal …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common, chronic, estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder that significantly affects patients' quality of life. However, the disease burden and its trends may be undergoing significant changes, and comprehens…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of GnRH-a pretreatment with 1.5 mg or 3.75 mg, in combination with hormone replacement therapy (HRT), on pregnancy outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing frozen embryo transfer …

BACKGROUND: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are common complications that adversely affect pregnancy outcomes. However, data on their independent and combined impacts on fetal growth and per…

This study aimed to explore potential risk factors for severe endometriosis and to develop a model to predict the risk of severe endometriosis. A total of 308 patients with endometriosis were analyzed. Least absolute shrinkage and selection…

An increasing number of research have suggested that ferroptosis plays an important role in endometriosis (EMS). This study was to identify a ferroptosis-related diagnosis gene in EMS by using bioinformatics. R Bioconductor package limma wa…

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common chronic pain condition characterized primarily by the presence of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). While the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) is known to be upregulated in injured m…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder with significant impacts on women’s reproductive health. Interleukin (IL)-2 receptor subunit gamma (IL2RG), a common receptor for IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15 and …
