BackgroundExisting biomarkers for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) have demonstrated limited sensitivity and specificity. This study aimed to investigate plasma protein and metabolite characteristics of EOC and identify novel biomarker candi…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the feasibility and clinical effects of a novel hysteroscopic levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) non-suture fixation at the uterine fundus. METHODS: From October 2023 to July 2024,…

BackgroundNatural cycle in vitro fertilization (NC-IVF) represents a convenient and safe assisted reproductive technology, making it particularly advantageous for patients with poor ovarian response (POR). This research evaluates the effect…

BackgroundOocyte vitrification, a widely utilized assisted reproductive technology for fertility preservation, can address emergencies arising from the unavailability of sperm from the male partner on the day of oocyte retrieval. However, t…

Chronic widespread pain (CWP) remains challenging due to its heterogeneous causes and complex mechanisms. A total of 2920 plasma proteins are analyzed from 29,254 UK Biobank participants. A total of 256 proteins are identified as cross-sect…

AIMS: Observational studies have reported an association between dietary factors and endometriosis, but the causality remains unknown. The study aimed to investigate the potential causal association between dietary factors and endometriosis…

PurposeTuberculosis (TB) is a significant factor contributing to infertility. For some infertile patients, chest radiography (CXR) screenings prior to assisted reproductive treatment (ART) reveal old/inactive TB lesions. However, the pregna…

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Conventional hormonal treatments for endometriosis (EMs) are often associated with significant side effects. In recent years, many clinical trials and studies have highlighted the remarkable efficacy of Chine…

BackgroundThe echo pattern constitutes an ultrasonic index that reflects the characteristics of the endometrium across various phases of the menstrual cycle. However, consensus of endometrial echo pattern and pregnancy outcomes is lacking i…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecological disorder closely linked with diminished fertility potential that poses significant challenges in pharmacological management. Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen, DS), a traditional Ch…

BackgroundSurgery is the primary treatment for Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (ESS), however, a substantial proportion of patients with ESS experience recurrence or metastasis. Currently, surgery and local ablation are the main treatments for …

BackgroundMetabolic dysregulation plays a critical role in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), yet the involvement of energy metabolism-related genes (ERGs) remains incompletely understood. This study employs integrative bioinformatics and ex…

Adenomyosis (AM) is recognized as a complex gynecological and endocrine disorder that contributes to infertility and elevates the risk of pregnancy complications; however, its underlying genetic basis remains unidentified. This study aimed …

STUDY QUESTION: Can a panel of plasma protein biomarkers be identified to accurately and specifically diagnose endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: A novel panel of 10 plasma protein biomarkers was identified and validated, demonstrating strong …

Endometriosis is a common disease among women of childbearing age, and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), a response involved in regulating protein homeostasis, has been linked to its pathogenesis. To identify ERS-related hub genes, this s…

Adenomyosis (AM) is characterized as a chronic and progressive disorder with limited therapeutic strategies available. Myometrial fibrosis is a prominent pathological feature of AM, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Th…

BackgroundIntra-abdominal hemorrhage (IAH) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of ultrasound-guided transvanginal oocyte pick up (OPU). Despite the widespread use of OPU in assisted reproductive technology, minor hemorrh…
