Interstitial cystitis (IC), also known as bladder pain syndrome (BPS), is a chronic and devastating urologic disease. Its characteristics include the damage to the barrier function of bladder mucosa, inflammation related to nerve activity a…
Accurate pre-operative discrimination between ovarian endometriomas (EMs) and other benign ovarian tumors is crucial for surgical planning and fertility counseling. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of serum CA125, CA1…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian endometriotic cysts represent a prevalent form of endometriosis and are typically identifiable via imaging modalities. Nonetheless, differentiating endometriotic cysts from other benign non-endometriotic ovarian cysts, s…
OBJECTIVE: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy is increasingly used in the management of various solid tumors. However, limited data are available regarding the association between HIFU treatment and coagulation function. MATE…
BACKGROUND: The relationship between preimplantation hematological profiles and clinical pregnancy rates following frozen embryo transfer (FET) has not been thoroughly investigated. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted. Participant…
BACKGROUND: In recent years, microRNAs have attracted increasing attention for their potential diagnostic and prognostic value across various diseases. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of mi…
BACKGROUND: Current guidelines recommend laparoscopic cystectomy for ovarian endometrioma (OMA) ≥4 cm before fertility treatment, yet cystectomy inevitably damages ovarian reserve. While recent large-scale studies have confirmed that cystec…
STUDY QUESTION: Does adding vaginal estradiol to standard progesterone luteal phase support improve ongoing pregnancy rates in normal-responder IVF/ICSI patients undergoing GnRH antagonist cycles? SUMMARY ANSWER: The addition of vaginal es…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis (EM) is an inflammatory condition that affects approximately 10% of the female-born population. It is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, leading to chronic pelvic pain…
PROBLEMS: To investigate the impact of anti-endometrial antibodies (EMAb) on pregnancy outcomes in infertile patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) and to assess the potential value of personalized treatment strategies. METHOD OF…
BACKGROUND: Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a common and debilitating condition in women with bleeding disorders (BD). The underlying hemostatic abnormalities in these patients often make standard treatments ineffective. Clinical manageme…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a prevalent benign condition among women of reproductive age. While the overall rate of endometriosis-associated malignancy is low, the risk of malignant transformation increases significantly in postmenopausal …
BACKGROUND: Menstrual function is sensitive to inflammatory, endocrine, and psychosocial stressors that may transiently disrupt the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. Although menstrual disturbances have been reported during the coronavir…
BACKGROUND: Age-related diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) exhibits marked significant individual variation. Some women of advanced age with normal ovarian reserve (NOR) achieve better reproductive outcomes than age-matched DOR patients. OBJE…
BACKGROUND: Endometrial receptivity (ER) serves as a critical determinant for successful embryo implantation, yet its molecular complexity and limited clinical assessment methods pose significant challenges. Despite advancements in assisted…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is benign, but it is associated with an increased risk of clear-cell and endometrioid ovarian carcinoma. Several multivariable prediction models have been developed to identify malignant transformation or different…
RATIONALE: Hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (HyCoSy) is a commonly used technique for assessing fallopian tube patency. A well-recognized complication of this procedure is venous intravasation (VI), which refers to the unintended entry o…
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers multiple advantages in the treatment of endometriosis (EMS). Bushen Wenyang Huayu Decoction (BWHD) is widely used in clinical practice for managing EMS. It can signif…
BACKGROUND: LY01021 is a novel oral small-molecule gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist intended for the treatment of various sex hormone-dependent disorders. This study aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharm…
INTRODUCTION: In this exploratory case-control study, we investigated the potential associations of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), β-human chorionic gonadotrophin (β-HCG), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and leuk…
BACKGROUND: Compared with overnight insemination, it remains uncertain whether short-term insemination can improve outcomes in poor responders, and few studies have used cumulative live birth rate as the primary endpoint. The study aims to …
BACKGROUND: The clinical benefit of immunotherapy in ovarian cancer (OC) remains limited. The primary reason is not simply a lack of immune activation, but rather the marked spatiotemporal heterogeneity of the tumour immune microenvironment…
