BACKGROUND: Melatonin (MT) is involved in the regulation of various important biological processes related to reproduction. Many studies have investigated the effects of MT supplementation on outcomes following assisted reproductive technol…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent gynecologic endocrine disorder characterized by menstrual irregularities, elevated androgen levels, and ovulatory dysfunction. Its etiology is multifactorial. Emerging evidence indicates that …
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNA. MiRNAs affect physiological processes by regulating messenger RNA (mRNA) translation of target genes. The peri-implantation period is the period with the most loss of pig embryos, during whi…
BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence suggests that aberrantly expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) participate in endometriosis pathogenesis. miR-1229-5p participates in the pathogenesis of several disease, but its precise role and mechanism in endometrio…
Non-invasive liquid biopsy is a promising strategy for ovarian cancer (OC) detection. We evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of a multi-analyte approach combining circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detection with protein biomarkers for early …
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects reproductive and cardiometabolic health, yet its pathogenesis remains unclear. Emerging evidence links hemoglobin levels to metabolic disorders, suggesting a potential role in PCOS development. Here,…
RATIONALE: Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) has diverse ischemic etiologies and has been defined by the absence of angiographically significant obstructive coronary artery disease. Blood transfusion has s…
BACKGROUND: To compare in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) pregnancy outcomes following endometrial polypectomy using either a manual mechanical hysteroscopic tissue resection device (mHTR) or traditional mechanical resectio…
Gynecological diseases are a group of diseases that affect the reproductive systems of women [...].
Gynecologic cancers (GCs), including cervical cancer (CC), ovarian cancer (OC), endometrial cancer (EC), as well as vulvar and vaginal cancers, represent major health threats to women, with increasing incidence rates observed globally. Conv…
Abstract Objective: Preserving ovarian reserve function during single-port laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is crucial for women of reproductive age. This study aimed to evaluate the hemostatic efficacy and impact on ovarian reserve of t…
BACKGROUND: Alarelin acetate, a synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue, is widely used to manage endometriosis and hormone-sensitive malignancies. Although its safety profile is generally favorable, we report the first doc…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of various medications for the treatment of endometriosis-related pain through a network meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the …
Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is when a woman experiences two or more pregnancy losses. Investigating for causes of RPL can provide an explanation and possible treatment options. This is a summary of Parts 1 and 2 of Australasian Recurrent…
BACKGROUND: This study assessed the impact of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection on ovarian reserve in women. METHODS: We analyzed data from 38,861 infertile women undergoing their first in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment (2016-…
PURPOSE: A retrospective observational study was conducted to investigate the predictors for recurrence of stage I-II endometrial cancer after surgical treatment. METHODS: 130 stage I-II endometrioid carcinoma patients receiving laparoscop…
BACKGROUND: Culture-negative periprosthetic joint infections (CN-PJIs) represent a critical subtype of PJI, and their high prevalence poses substantial challenges for treatment. CN-PJI is commonly managed utilizing antibiotic combinations, …
PURPOSE: This study aimed to establish a risk prediction model of endometriosis in infertile women and verify the model. METHODS: A retrospective study was made of 140 infertile women hospitalized at Henan Provincial People's Hospital betw…
BACKGROUND: To investigate the optimal periendometrial zone (PEZ) in ultrasound (US) images and assess the performance of ultrasound radiomics in predicting the outcome of frozen embryo transfer (FET). METHODS: This prospective study had 4…
BACKGROUND: Endometrial thickness independently predicts pregnancy outcomes in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Thin endometrium always results in implantation failure and worse obstetric-neonatal outcomes. However, it has not been repo…
BACKGROUND: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a global public health issue, due to their high prevalence and potential impact on pregnancy outcome and fetal health. The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence of ST…
Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the myometrium associated with adenomyosis is exceedingly rare. We present a case involving a 49-year-old female patient who experienced irregular menstruation for 3 months and was initially misdiagn…
BACKGROUND: The global health crisis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to impact people of all age groups worldwide. Recent studies increasingly support that COVID-19 infection may affect reproductive function, causing subfer…
Endometriosis is a hormone dependent disease that often accompanies infertility. At present, the incidence rate of endometriosis is on the rise, but its pathogenesis and the mechanism leading to fertility reduction are still unclear. Here, …
BACKGROUND: As women age, their ovarian follicle pool naturally declines. However, female germline stem cells (FGSCs) possess a unique ability to differentiate into oocytes and continuously self-renew, providing an effective means of delayi…
