Perioperative abstinent smokers experience heightened pain sensitivity and increased postoperative analgesic requirements, likely due to nicotine withdrawal-induced hyperalgesia. However, the underlying neural mechanisms in humans remain un…

Ovarian response to controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) is a core determinant of assisted reproductive technology (ART) success, with marked interindividual variability. Accurate and individualized prediction is essential to optimize treat…

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been previously associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the health effects of emerging PFAS alternatives on PCOS remain unclear. This study aims to examine the associations …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, PCOS, adenomyosis, and dysmenorrhea are major illnesses. Hormonal as well as non-hormonal treatments were evaluated for COCs, progestins, GnRH analogues, LNG-IUS, relugolix, and adjunctive therapies. These treatme…

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have emerged as a paradigm-shifting therapeutic strategy in oncology, demonstrating significant synthetic lethality in tumors characterized by homologous recombination deficiency. Due to their …

OBJECTIVE: To describe clinical intrauterine insemination (IUI) outcomes among infertile patients with different infertility indications, and further compare reproductive outcomes between natural cycle (NC) and ovarian stimulation cycle (OS…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) compared with hysteroscopic niche resection (HNR) for women with niche-related postmenstrual spotting.DesignEconomic evaluation from a healthcar…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of curcumin (Cur) in adenomyosis (AM). METHODS: A mouse uterine AM model was established by exposing ICR neonatal mice to tamoxifen (TAM). Female neonatal mice (day 1, n=24) …

Cervical cancer (CC) remains a major global gynecological malignancy, with a rising incidence among younger women in specific regions. Human papillomavirus (HPV) screening and cytological examination have markedly reduced the disease burden…

IntroductionAcupuncture has been explored as a potential intervention for POR; however, high-quality evidence is limited. This multicenter randomized trial evaluated the effect of acupuncture on the number of oocytes retrieved following con…

IntroductionDiminished 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 e…

BackgroundPericentric inversion of chromosome 9 [inv (9)] is a common chromosomal polymorphism found in approximately 1-2% of the population. While inv(9) has been generally considered a benign variant, its potential effects on reproductive…

ObjectiveThe study systematically examines the long-term trends in the global burden of Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) across 204 countries and territories, with a specific focus on comparing pre-pandemic (1990-2019) and post-pandemic (20…

Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a multifactorial disorder characterized by the progressive decline of ovarian function, in which autoimmune factors account for approximately 10%-30% of cases. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that i…

BackgroundThe copper intrauterine device (Cu-IUD) is a widely used long-term contraceptive method. However, whether prior Cu-IUD use, including long-term exposure, affects reproductive and neonatal outcomes after assisted reproductive techn…

Precancers, defined as normal-appearing or morphologically altered tissues with a risk of oncogenesis, exhibit various detectable manifestations across anatomical sites, including epithelial dysplasia, metaplasia, hyperplasia, and stromal f…

This study aims to explore the application value of stromal cell-derived factor (CXCL12), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) in the diagnosis, staging, and clinical manifestations of endometriosis…

BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance (IR) is a key metabolic disturbance that adversely affects assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes. In women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), IR has been well documented to impair oocyte quality,…

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent gynecologic disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Zinc finger protein 143 (ZNF143) is a DNA-binding transcription factor, yet its role in endome…

BACKGROUND: Impaired decidualization is a major cause of infertility in patients with adenomyosis (AM). However, the effect of transcription factor 21 (TCF21) on AM and the underlying mechanism of associated-impaired decidualization remain …

OBJECTIVE: To report a rare case of a patient with unicornuate uterus, whose rudimentary horn has finally developed into diffuse adenomyosis foci, and to demonstrate a fertility-preserved approach for the treatment of such a condition. DES…

Following the initial treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), tumor progression often portends an adverse prognosis for these patients. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of tumor immunity, yet their intricate mecha…

ObjectivesThis meta-analysis seeks to clarify the relationship between hysterectomy, oophorectomy, and the subsequent risk of developing breast cancer.MethodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, the Cochrane Librar…

BackgroundThe atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to overlapping features with other conditions like Preeclampsia/HELLP syndrome and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Pregnan…
