BACKGROUND: Sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) has emerged as a potential marker of male fertility, but its clinical value in assisted reproductive technology (ART) remains debated. This study aimed to investigate the association between s…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation of the ovaries. This disorder of the immune microenvironment is closely related to abnormal follicular development and ovulation disorders. This…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is an oestrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease that primarily manifests as chronic pelvic pain and infertility. EMS-associated infertility is closely linked to diminished ovarian function and oocyte q…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a leading cause of anovulatory infertility. Despite a high antral follicle count, advanced-age PCOS patients experience a marked decline in cumulative live birth rates (CLBR) after assisted re…

This Correspondence is a formal response to the Comment by Dr. Machado regarding our publication "Creatine Promotes Endometriosis by Inducing Ferroptosis Resistance via Suppression of PrP." We address several conceptual concerns raised in t…

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…

BACKGROUND: The ratio of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (NHHR), a new lipid marker, can comprehensively reflect the lipid metabolic status of an individual. This study aimed to investigate t…

PURPOSE: To investigate BMAL1 and BMP6 expressive differences in ovarian granulosa cells (OGCs) of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), explore regulatory relationship, assess their impacts on OGC proliferation and apoptosis, and…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to comparatively analyze the therapeutic effects of uterine artery embolization (UAE) and laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) on uterine fibroids to determine which treatment method is more beneficial for patie…

BACKGROUND: Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) can relieve dysmenorrhea, but utilization is low in Chinese women. This systematic literature review was conducted to summarize the design of clinical studies and the effectiveness and safety …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the early pregnancy loss (EPL) rates in women with and without low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) treatment during early pregnancy. METHODS: A retrospective, non-randomized study was conducted at Guangzhou Women and…

BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress (OS) is a significant challenge in the in vitro embryo culture of patients of advanced age. The Erzhi Tiangui (EZTG) formula has been shown to alleviate OS-induced apoptosis in granulosa cells (GCs) of patients …

Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. Central to its pathophysiology, peritoneal CD14hi macrophages exhibit a pro-EMS phenotype and drive disease …

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an antimalarial drug that has historically been used to treat and prevent malaria. However, its mechanism of action has not yet been fully elucidated. HCQ affects various cellular and molecular pathways through d…

Endometriosis, a gynecological disorder marked by pelvic pain and infertility, has its pathogenesis and pathophysiology significantly influenced by epigenetics, as these factors have been well characterized. However, the role of RNA-mediate…

BACKGROUND: To date, there is no consensus on the optimal endometrial preparation protocol for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) in patients with a thin endometrium. This study evaluated the effects of different endometrial preparation pr…

Cellular senescence leads to stable cell cycle arrest and an inflammatory senescence-associated secretory phenotype that varies with stressor and cell type. To mitigate these effects and improve health, senotherapeutics (e.g., senolytics an…

AIM: To explore whether preoperative vaginal dysbiosis influences the recurrence of endometrial polyps after hysteroscopic polypectomy. DESIGN: Retrospective-prospective observational cohort study. METHODS: A total of 679 patients from ou…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous gynecological endocrine disorder linked to immunity. Cangfu Daotan Decoction (CFDT), a classic Chinese medicine prescription, is particularly effective in treating PCOS, specif…

Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory disease, significantly impairs the quality of life of women in their reproductive years; however, its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. The accumulation of retrograde menstruation and recurrent bl…

Shaofu Zhuyu decoction has been widely used to treat gynecological diseases; however, its mechanism of action in endometriosis remains unclear. We analyzed Shaofu Zhuyu decoction's chemical composition using ultra-high performance liquid ch…
