OBJECTIVES: Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), a steroid progesterone, is widely used to treat endometriosis, menstrual disorders, and uterine bleeding in clinical practice. However, the safety profile of MPA requires comprehensive evaluati…

Phthalate esters (PAEs) and organophosphate esters (OPEs) are pervasive 20 environmental pollutants with endocrine-disrupting properties. Despite growing 21 evidence linking PAE/OPE exposure to female reproductive disorders, the 22 diseases…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease with high recurrence rates after surgery and the lesions keep unlimited proliferative capacity. The effect of garcinol on cell proliferation has not been investigated in endometriosis. Herein,…

OBJECTIVE: To describe a mesentery-preserving, nerve-sparing laparoscopic technique for rectal endometriosis. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Single centre. POPULATION OR SAMPLE: Women requiring bowel resection for rectal en…

BACKGROUND: Optimal endometrial thickness and receptivity, precisely regulated by steroid hormones, are critical determinants for successful embryo implantation. Thin endometrium is a major cause of female infertility, yet its pathogenesis …

Oxidative stress-induced endometrial injury has been shown to contribute to infertility; however, effective strategies that can simultaneously scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and restore mitochondrial and antioxidant homeostasis rema…

ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to explore the relationship between the levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and metabolic and reproductive outcomes across different polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) phenotypes.MethodsIn this retrospecti…

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Endometriosis is a chronic, hormone-dependent disorder characterized by ectopic implantation of endometrial tissue, often accompanied by pain and infertility. Although the progesterone receptor modulator RU486 is eff…

BackgroundCotton phenol is a yellowish-brown polyphenol hydroxybinaphthyl aldehyde compound mainly found in the roots, stems, leaves and seeds of cotton; a plant of the mallow family that has been widely used in the study of antifertility a…

BackgroundThe benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy for stage I ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC) remains controversial. Hence, the study sought to explore its value in stage I OEC patients.MethodsStage I OEC patients (1988-2018) were identif…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, causing chronic pain and infertility. Hypoxia plays a significant role in the progression of …

Liver fibrosis is induced by persistent stimulation of various factors, resulting from complex multicellular interactions and multifactorial networks. Without intervention, it can progress to cirrhosis and even liver cancer. Current underst…

Fungal biofilms, as self-produced extracellular polymeric substances that resist antifungal agents and immune defense, represent a major cause of treatment failure and recurrent infections. Therefore, it is of great importance to eradicate …

Transient receptor potential melastatin M3 (TRPM3) channels have been recognized as a pain transducer in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in recent years. TRPM3 activation initiates neurogenic inflammation and is required for the developm…

PurposePolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is currently recognized as a condition that affects several systems in the body, including the reproductive, endocrine, and cardiovascular systems. Prevalent among teenagers and women of reproductive …

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a newly discovered class of endogenous non-coding RNAs with a closed-loop structures, and they exert crucial regulatory functions in diverse biological processes and disease development through the modulation of…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition, typically associated with pelvic pain and menorrhagia, affecting 10% of women of reproductive age. Inflammation is known to contribute to pregnancy complications, including preterm birth. R…

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a severe complication of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, characterized by increased capillary permeability.Vascular endothelial growth fact…

RATIONALE: Endometrial tissue in the greater omentum with a large amount of hemorrhagic ascites is relatively uncommon. Endometriosis is similar to ovarian malignancy in cases of hemorrhagic ascites. Hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy …

Cervical cancer (CC) is an important public health problem for women, gene expression patterns which were governed by epigenetic modifications can result in CC, CC-chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) interacts with C-C-motif ligand 22 (CCL22) is as…

BackgroundThe accurate prediction of pregnancy outcomes in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles is crucial. While several studies have been conducted on the predictive power of serum estradiol (E2) and β-hCG concentrations post-embryo transf…

BackgroundDiabetes is an independent risk factor for mesh complications in women undergoing mesh-augmented surgical repairs of stress urinary incontinence and/or pelvic organ prolapse. The underlying mechanism remains unclear.ObjectiveThis …

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are debilitating gynecological conditions that severely affect the quality of life of women. Traditional diagnostic and treatment methods, including laparoscopic surgery and hormonal therapy, face significant l…

ObjectiveThis study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) ablation on pregnancy outcomes among women with uterine fibroids wishing to conceive, focusing specifically on short-term pregnancy …

Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of non-apoptotic cell programmed death, characterized by the disturbance of iron metabolism, accumulation of lipid peroxides and disruption of cellular antioxidant system. Ferroptosis induces oxidative …
