BACKGROUND: Cancer in women represents a significant disease burden, posing challenges for prevention, treatment, and caregiving. This study aimed to analyze the epidemiological trends of the women's cancer burden and the main influencing f…
INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common malignant tumour of the head and neck region. In recent years, the relationship between pyroptosis and tumours has received increasing attention. However, its regulatory…
Endometriosis, affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women worldwide, is widely recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease. Inflammation-related genes (IRGs) play a crucial role in the occurrence and progression of various dise…
Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging environmental pollutants, but evidence concerning their effects on endometrial injury and adverse pregnancy outcomes remains limited. Therefore, we employed the Targeted Risk Assessment of Environ…
BACKGROUND: Non-neoplastic gynecological diseases substantially impact women of childbearing age (WCBA), contributing to global burden. Despite growing awareness, disparities in healthcare access remain widespread across regions and socioec…
OBJECTIVE: Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common gynecologic malignancy globally, but the role of the intratumoral microbiome remains poorly defined. While microbial dysbiosis is increasingly linked to cancer, the composition, function, and c…
BACKGROUND: Hydrosalpinx affects 10-30% of infertile women, creating a hostile tubal microenvironment that impairs embryonic development. Although fluid embryotoxicity is recognised, specific toxic metabolites and their molecular mechanisms…
BACKGROUND: Aggressive Angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare mesenchymal tumor characterized by local invasiveness and a high recurrence rate, often arising in the pelvis and perineum. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 49-year-old woman presenting with…
INTRODUCTION: In this exploratory case-control study, we investigated the potential associations of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), β-human chorionic gonadotrophin (β-HCG), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and leuk…
This study investigated whether thromboelastography (TEG) parameters on the day of embryo transfer, alone or combined with other clinical indicators, could predict early pregnancy loss in in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm …
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of acupuncture combined with Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) on endometriosis-associated pain. METHODS: We searched eight electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, the Cochrane L…
Abstract Endometriosis, affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women worldwide, is a typical chronic inflammatory disease. Inflammation-related genes (IRGs) play a crucial role in the occurrence and progression of various disease…
Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), the most prevalent plasticizer worldwide, can enter the human body via various exposure pathways, including ingestion, inhalation, skin contact, and medical applications. It has been observed to exhibit ch…
BACKGROUND: It is ambiguous whether the multiple COS with supraphysiologic hormonal doses impact ovarian reserve functions or pregnancy outcomes. The aim is to explore the effect of multiple COS during ART on ovarian reserve function and cl…
OBJECTIVE: This investigation sought to determine optimal prognostic indicators and develop an implementable predictive framework for estimating live birth probabilities in subfertile individuals receiving gonadotropin-releasing hormone ant…
The sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) is a metric used to assess DNA fragmentation within sperm. During in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET), high sperm DFI can lead to a low fertilization rate, poor embryo development, early m…
BACKGROUND: Poor oocyte quality remains one of the major challenges for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Granulosa cells (GCs) in PCOS display altered functions and could cause an unfa…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the vaginal and gut microbes changes during the carcinogenesis of cervical and the auxiliary diagnostic value. To investigate the effect of microbiome-specific metabolites butyric on cervical cancer cells. METHODS…
The changes in T regulatory cell (Treg) and T helper cell (Th) 17 ratios holds paramount importance in ensuring internal homeostasis and disease progression. Recently, novel subsets of Treg and Th17, namely IL-17-producing Treg and IL-10-pr…
INTRODUCTION: Studies on the effect of vaccine type and two other vaccines other than inactivated vaccines approved in China on in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy outcomes are rare. To complement and confirm the existing findings, this …
Vaginal atresia is a rare obstructive disease of the reproductive tract. It is characterized by the absence or underdevelopment of the vaginal canal and results in various clinical manifestations. Hysterectomy can physically and mentally bu…
