BACKGROUND: This study proposed a non-invasive approach combining shear wave elastography (SWE) to measure junctional zone (JZ) stiffness and serum small extracellular vesicle (sEV) proteomics to explore molecular alterations in adenomyosis…
BACKGROUND: The clinical efficacy of antioxidants in assisted reproductive technology (ART) remains inconsistent. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of oral antioxidant supplementation on reproductive outc…
Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA), defined as two or more consecutive pregnancy losses, affects 1%-5% of couples and poses a significant challenge to reproductive health. Despite its prevalence, the underlying etiology remains elusive in…

PURPOSE: To test the expression profile of transient receptor potential channels (TRPs) in adenomyosis patients and evaluate the effects of primidone on tamoxifen-induced adenomyosis mice. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study included in vivo …
OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the MRI characteristics of primary and metastatic adult granulosa cell tumor with normal estrogen levels (AGCT-NEL) to enhance clinical understanding and diagnostic accuracy of this disease. METHODS: We c…
BACKGROUND: The heterogeneity of uterine fibroids in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is complex for a subjective visual evaluation, therefore it is difficult for an accurate prediction of the efficacy of high intensity focused ultrasound (…
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…

The microenvironment and cell populations within the myometrium play crucial roles in maintaining uterine structural integrity and protecting the fetus during pregnancy. However, the specific changes occurring at the single-cell level in th…
We investigated the effect of melatonin on bisphenol A (BPA)-induced oxidative stress damage in testicular tissue and Leydig cells. Mice were gavaged with 50 mg/kg BPA for 30 days, and concurrently, were injected with melatonin (10 mg/kg an…
OBJECTIVE: To compare the safety and effectiveness between long-term GnRH agonist plus HCG (dual trigger) and HCG trigger alone in high ovarian responders. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on clinical data from 314 cases of hig…
BACKGROUND: Placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAS) are a severe complication characterized by abnormal trophoblast invasion into the myometrium. The underlying mechanisms of PAS involve a complex interplay of various cell types and molec…
The quality and maturation of an oocyte not only play decisive roles in fertilization and embryo success, but also have long-term impacts on the later growth and development of the fetus. Female fertility declines with age, reflecting a dec…
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to identify the diagnostic value of models constructed using computed tomography-based radiomics features for discrimination of benign and early stage malignant ovarian tumors. METHODS: The imaging and clinicop…
Adenomyosis is a benign uterine disease that pathologically shows endometrial glands and stroma in the myometrium. There are multiple lines of evidence that adenomyosis is associated with abnormal bleeding, painful menstruation, chronic pel…
Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the deadliest malignant tumors affecting women worldwide. The predictive value of some blood inflammatory composite markers in OC has been extensively reported. They can be used for early detection and differen…
Abstract Purpose To test the expression profile of transient receptor potential channels (TRPs) in adenomyosis patients and evaluate the effects of primidone on tamoxifen-induced adenomyosis mice. Methods Eutopic endometrium from adenomyosi…
BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common causes of anovulatory infertility. Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) has many advantages in treating PCOS. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to investigate the effec…
Cesarean section scar diverticulum (CSD) has become a formidable obstacle preventing women receiving CS from reproducing. However, the pathogenesis of CSD remains unexplored. In this study, we characterized the cervical microbiota, metabolo…
The aim of this study was to explore whether the presence of intra-cavitary fluid (ICF) influences the pregnancy outcomes of patients with caesarean section (CS) in embryo transfer cycles. A total of 8494 transferred cycles of 4924 women we…
BACKGROUND Intestinal injury plays a key role in the pathogenesis of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). In this study, we investigated the protective function of downregulated Gasdermin D (GSDMD) in intestinal damage in a mouse model of sever…
Mast cells (MCs) play a pivotal role in the hypersensitivity reaction by regulating the innate and adaptive immune responses. Humans have two types of MCs. The first type, termed MCTC, is found in the skin and other connective tissues and e…
