Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants with potential reproductive toxicity, yet their profiles in follicular fluid and impacts on human fertility remain unclear. Given the importance of diet as…

Endometrial polyps (EPs) are common uterine lesions associated with abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility, yet their pathogenesis remains poorly defined. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of normal endometrium, para-polyp, a…

BACKGROUND: vNOTES has been documented as a viable approach for conducting benign gynecologic surgery; however, its application in ectopic pregnancy cases remains relatively scarce. The principal objective of this investigation was to asses…

Female infertility is a prevalent condition closely linked with obesity. Current evaluation metrics like body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) have limitations. Relative fat mass (RFM) is a newer, more accurate obesity metric, …

Background: Tuberculosis is a communicable disease that is a major cause of ill health and one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) widely exists in people all over the world, especially in patients…

Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease characterized by the invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium of uterus, the pathological mechanism of which remains unclear yet. Disturbed lipid metabolism extensively affe…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with fresh versus cryopreserved sperm retrieved via microdissection testicular sperm extraction (mTESE) in patients with …

Intrauterine adhesions (IUA), characterized by endometrial fibrosis, pose a serious threat to women's reproductive health, yet their molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we use single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to profi…

BACKGROUND: There is a scarcity of prospective clinical research evidence regarding the utilization of transvaginal natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) as a treatment option for ovarian cysts. The objective of this stud…

PURPOSE: To develop a combined diagnostic model integrating the subclassification of the 2022 version of the American College of Radiology (ACR) Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) with carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and to…

In this multicenter, non-inferiority, randomized trial, we randomly assigned 992 women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) with a good prognosis (aged 20-40, ≥3 transferrable cleavage-stage embryos) to strategies of blastocyst-stage (n …

IMPORTANCE: Implantation failure remains a critical barrier to in vitro fertilization. Prednisone, as an immune-regulatory agent, is widely used to improve the probability of implantation and pregnancy, although the evidence for efficacy is…

Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) widely exists in patients with unexplained infertility, and whether LTBI would affect the ovarian reserve and pregnancy outcome of infertile women undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI) is still unkn…

BACKGROUND: Uterine adenomyosis is a common gynecologic disease in premenopausal women, the pathological mechanism of which remains largely unknown. The aim of this study was to identify metabolic biomarkers significantly altered in the myo…

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to report our experience in treating multiple ureteral polyps with transabdominal laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy (LAP-UU) with intraoperative retrograde ureteroscopy (RU)-assisted technique. METH…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment of large ovarian masses in adolescents. METHODS: Adolescents with large ovarian masses (≥10 cm in diameter) who were treated in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital…

BACKGROUND: To minimize the rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF)- associated multiple-embryo gestation, significant efforts have been made. Previous studies related to machine learning in IVF mainly focused on selecting the top-quality embr…

RATIONALE: Spontaneous uterine rupture during pregnancy, occurring most often during labor in the context of a scarred uterus, is a serious obstetric complication. Perhaps even more serious because of its extreme rarity, spontaneous uterine…

BACKGROUND: Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is a malignant tumor of the female genital tract that mostly presents intraperitoneal dissemination in clinical practice. The incidence of upper anterior mediastinal metastasis in PFTCs is…

The present study aims to investigate the effects and mechanisms of sarsasapogenin resistance to precocious puberty. Female Sprague Dawley rats were divided into a normal (N) group, model (M) group, leuprolide (L) group, and sarsasapogenin …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the application of transvaginal two-dimensional and three-dimensional power Doppler ultrasound in pregnancy corpus luteum to predict the final outcome of early intrauterine pregnancy. Meth…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients are at increased risk of pregnancy complications, which may impair pregnancy outcome. Transfer of fresh embryos after superovulation may lead to abnormal implantation and placentation an…

In diagnostic medicine, estimating the diagnostic accuracy of a group of raters or medical tests relative to the gold standard is often the primary goal. When a gold standard is absent, latent class models where the unknown gold standard te…

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the interrater and intrarater reliability of endometriosis diagnosis and severity of disease among gynecologic surgeons viewing operative digital images. METHODS: The study population comprised a random sample (n=148…

High-dimensional biomarker data are often collected in epidemiological studies when assessing the association between biomarkers and human disease is of interest. We develop a latent class modeling approach for joint analysis of high-dimens…
