BACKGROUND: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA), the most prevalent form of hair loss, is driven by the dysfunction of dermal papilla cells (DPCs). Emerging evidence implicates DPC senescence in the pathogenesis of AGA; however, the underlying mole…

BACKGROUND: Angiomyofibroblastoma (AMFB) is a relatively rare benign mesenchymal tumor predominantly observed in premenopausal women. We present a case of vulvar AMFB in a 29-year-old woman, with the tumor measuring approximately 6 cm in di…

BACKGROUND: Gynecological acute abdomen is a common emergency condition requiring rapid and accurate diagnostic imaging to guide timely clinical decision-making. This study evaluated the diagnostic value of transabdominal ultrasound (TA-US)…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of tubal reanastomosis and in vitro fertilisation in achieving reproductive success in women who had undergone tubal ligation and desired additional children. METHODS: This study included 152…

BACKGROUND: Pelvic floor myofascial pain (PFMP) is an important yet often overlooked cause of chronic pelvic pain (CPP). The currently available diagnostic methods are limited due to issues such as insufficient efficacy and difficulties in …

ABSTRACT: The endometrium is the primary site of embryo implantation. Cellular senescence within the endometrium can be broadly categorised into normal cyclical senescence and pathological excessive senescence. Normal cyclical senescence oc…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis, an estrogen-dependent condition characterized by endometrial invasion into the myometrium, is associated with reduced live birth rates and increased miscarriage risk in women undergoing assisted reproductive technol…

OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the associations between paternal factors (age, semen parameters, body mass index, sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI), and leukocyte count), embryonic ploidy, and the clinical implantation potential of…

BACKGROUND: Multiple myeloma (MM) in association with pregnancy is a rare event, and a consensus is lacking. It is urgent to increase the awareness of investigations required for a suspected diagnosis of MM during pregnancy and optimise its…

INTRODUCTION: Adenomyosis, which affects > 20% of reproductive-age women, is a major cause of infertility. Defective decidualization of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) is a key pathogenic feature of adenomyosis; however, the underlying red…

BACKGROUND: Protein palmitoylation is a significant post-translational modification that influences protein stability, localization, and signaling through the addition of palmitoyl groups to cysteine, serine/threonine, or lysine residues. I…

Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is an uncommon inflammatory disease of the gallbladder. We report a case of XGC with elevated activity of 18 F-FDG and 68 Ga-FAPI (fibroblast activating protein inhibitor), which mimics malignancy. Ou…

Infertility is a prevalent reproductive disorder, with local and systemic inflammatory responses potentially playing a pivotal role in its etiology. Alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), an acute-phase glycoprotein, has been implicated in inflam…

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Due to its association with various diseases, atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) has garnered increasing attention. Exploration of the relationship between AIP and endometriosis risk has not been thorough. This nationwid…

The diverse and dynamic population of microorganisms present in the gut microbiota may affect host health. There are evidences to support the role of gut microbiota as a key player in reproductive development. Unfortunately, the relationshi…

Infertility impacts 48 million couples globally, and accumulating evidence suggests that micronutrients potentially influence reproductive health. This Mendelian randomization study investigates causal relationships between 15 micronutrient…

Uterine fibroids are common among women of reproductive age and often recur after treatment. Accurate recurrence prediction is essential for guiding clinical decisions, yet existing models remain inadequate. This study aimed to develop a no…

OBJECTIVES: Whether diverse metabolic statuses within a similar body mass index (BMI) category associate with different in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Wenzhou, Zhengjiang Province, Ch…

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate a clinical utility of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and explore a population that benefits from it. METHODS: We analyzed 818 …

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of succinylcholine on the incidence of postoperative sore throat (POST) in patients undergoing hysteroscopy under laryngeal mask airway (LMA)-assisted general anesthesia. DESIGN: A prospec…

This study investigates the mechanism of Ge Xia-Zhu Yu decoction (GXZYT) in the treatment of endometriosis (EMS). The active components and targets of GXZYT were screened using TCMSP database and HERB database. The EMS-related genes were re…

As one of the three major malignant tumors in women, the morbidity of endometrial cancer is second only to that of cervical cancer and is increasing yearly. Its etiological mechanism is not clear, and the risk factors are numerous and commo…

Recent advances in understanding the modulatory functions of gut and gut microbiota on human diseases facilitated our focused attention on the contribution of the gut to the pathophysiological alterations of many extraintestinal organs, inc…

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease and a major global concern for women's health. With advancing knowledge of the condition, the classic definition of endometriosis as "endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus" now appears i…
