ObjectiveTo assess the efficacy of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) compared to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) alone in couples undergoing ICSI treatment because of severe male infertility.DesignMulticentre,…
BackgroundPreimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) has been widely utilized to select euploid embryos in patients carrying balanced chromosomal rearrangements (BCRs) by chromosome copy number analys…
OBJECTIVE: This study explored the incidence of adverse events (AEs) following microwave ablation (MWA) under local anesthesia and analyzed factors related to benign uterine diseases, including uterine fibroids (UFs) and adenomyosis (AM). …
Background and objectivesMultimorbidity is increasingly prevalent among the middle-aged population, yet it is largely often overlooked. We aimed to explore and compare the differences in multimorbidity patterns by sex and age among middle-a…
BackgroundMultimorbidity substantially increases health and economic burdens, and reduces productivity in working-age individuals. We conducted a study using data from 393,170 working-age inpatients (18-59 years) in Shaanxi, China, collecte…
BackgroundPremature Ovarian Failure (POF) is a heterogeneous syndrome characterized by ovarian dysfunction, frequently associated with autoimmune factors. The interaction between peripheral and ovarian immune signals remains unclear. Recent…
Endometriosis affects a substantial number of women of reproductive age, yet current diagnostic methods rely on invasive procedures. To address this limitation, we investigated THBS1 as a potential biomarker and regulator of disease progres…
OBJECTIVE: Little is known about the role of timing of physical activity in female reproductive disorders. These disorders include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), endometriosis, infertility, and pregnancy-r…
ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of changes in luteinizing hormone (LH) levels during ovulation induction using flexible gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-A) regimens in POSEIDON groups 1 and 2 on the clinical outcomes of fr…
BackgroundTuberculosis can negatively impact both overall health and female reproductive function. This study investigated the relationship between the interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) status and pregnancy outcomes in infertile women, …
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a severe complication of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, characterized by increased capillary permeability.Vascular endothelial growth fact…

BACKGROUND: Polypoid endometriosis is rare and differs from classic endometriosis. It has been primarily documented in case reports and often misdiagnosed as malignancy. The aim of this study is to report three separate cases of polypoid en…
Urinary bladder paragangliomas (UBPs) are rare tumors of chromaffin tissue originating from the sympathetic innervation of the bladder wall. It constitutes less than 0.05% of bladder tumors and 0.7% of all paragangliomas. The occurrence of …
BackgroundAccording to statistics, ovarian cancer (OV) is the most prevalent type of gynecologic malignancy and has the highest mortality rate of all gynecologic tumors. Although several studies have shown that oxidative stress (OS) contrib…
Ovarian endometrioma (OE) is a common gynecological condition characterized by the formation of "chocolate cysts". Recent research indicates that the cyst fluid acts as a "toxic environment" for the ovary and plays a significant role in the…
BackgroundOvarian cancer (OC) is a gynecological malignancy tumor with high recurrence and mortality rates. Programmed cell death (PCD) is an essential regulator in cancer metabolism, whose functions are still unknown in OC. Therefore, it i…
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is known to play a crucial role in the development of endometriosis (EMs). However, the exact mechanisms involved in EMT regulation in EMs are not well understood. In this study, we performed comprehe…
Ovarian endometriosis (EMs) is a benign, estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder. Estrogen receptor beta (ERβ), a nuclear receptor for estradiol, plays an important role in the development of ovarian EMs. Here, we investigated the biologi…
As an important part of medical science, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) attracts much public attention due to its multi-target and multi-pathway characteristics in treating diseases. However, the limitations of traditional research meth…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis (EM) is a multifactorial disease that affects 10 - 15% of women of reproductive age. Additionally, 30-50% of women with EM suffer from infertility. The mechanism of infertility caused by EM has not yet been consi…
