BackgroundApproximately 50% of the women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are overweight or obese and obesity can significantly impair reproductive function. This study aimed to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI)…

BackgroundOverweight and obesity are link to impaired endometrial receptivity and decreased pregnancy success in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Depot gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) pretreatment before hormone r…

BackgroundPremature ovarian failure (POF) is a gynecological endocrine disorder with current treatments having limitations. Kuntai capsule (KTC), a traditional Chinese medicine formulation, is thought to be beneficial for POF, but its mecha…

BackgroundOvarian seromucinous tumors represent a rare subclass of ovarian neoplasms. While the majority of these tumors are benign, the potential for malignant transformation persists and should be considered. To enhance patient outcome an…

BackgroundThe incidence and fatality rates of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are increasing, and the acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) causes poor prognosis in patients.AimThis study evaluated the clinical role of serum lncR…

IntroductionOvarian cancer significantly contributes to cancer-related deaths among women. Resistance to anchorage-dependent cell death (anoikis) plays a vital role in facilitating metastasis and worsening patient prognosis. Recent developm…

ObjectivePrimary dysmenorrhea (PD) is a recurrent disease. The current treatments for PD often fail to provide long-lasting effects, underscoring the necessity for new treatment options that can offer durable benefits. Previous studies have…

BackgroundHuman Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a ubiquitous sexually transmitted infection globally, frequently associated with sexual behaviors characterized by increased frequency and multiple partnerships. The relationship between var…

RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the lipidomic alterations in the myometrial tissue from adenomyotic lesions? DESIGN: This was a two-centre, prospective, observational study conducted between July 2023 and June 2024. Forty-four premenopausal pa…

BackgroundTo 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 resection …

Rising rates of infertility have stimulated interest in dietary supplements to improve oocyte quality through mitochondrial function, antioxidant activity, and epigenetically regulated metabolic pathways. Mitochondria provides adenosine tri…

The female reproductive system represents a highly complex regulatory network governing critical physiological functions, encompassing reproductive capacity and endocrine regulation that maintains female physiological homeostasis. The in vi…

BackgroundThe 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 subferti…

BackgroundInfertility is a growing global challenge that affects millions of people, and various factors influence female reproductive health. This study examined the association between inflammatory indicators, nutritional status, metaboli…

Fertility in women decreases with age, but the molecular basis for age-related, unexplained infertility remains elusive. Here, we reveal distinct transcriptome changes in oocytes and surrounding cumulus cells from women in their mid-thirtie…

BackgroundPelvic abscesses represent acute gynecological emergencies requiring timely intervention. This study evaluated prognostic predictors and treatment modalities in patients with pelvic abscesses.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective an…

RationaleSepsis following hysteroscopy is an rare complication, with current evidence suggesting that routine prophylactic antibiotic administration may not be warranted. However, this does not imply that we should disregard vigilance regar…

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is characterized by irreversible fibrotic destruction and impaired pancreatic function. CP disrupts lipid metabolism and causes the imbalance of gut microbiota which in turn exacerbates pancreatic fibrosis. Statins…

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, including endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). This study aimed to identify EDC-responsive genes contributing to endometriosis r…

BackgroundThe relationship between negative emotions and chronic respiratory diseases remains largely unexplored. In this study, we employ Mendelian Randomization (MR) to investigate the potential causal relationship between negative emotio…

BACKGROUND: Latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is common among patients with infertility, yet its effects on ovarian reserve function and pregnancy outcomes in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) remain u…

Pyroptosis is an inflammatory form of cell death involving caspase-1 or caspase-4/5/11, initiated by inflammasomes or cytoplasmic endotoxins as part of the immune defense. It is specifically characterized by Gasdermin-mediated pore formatio…

BackgroundThe composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) reflects dietary antioxidant intake. Preliminary studies indicate that higher CDAI levels are associated with a lower prevalence of female infertility. However, the underlying mechani…

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a systemic condition with multifactorial origins. Mitochondria and ferroptosis have been implicated in the disease, but their potential interaction in IBD remains unclear. Therefore, investigating the rel…
