BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disease that lacks reliable noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers. This study was aimed at evaluating the diagnostic value of PAX8 using integrated transcriptomic and machine learn…

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by substantial inter-individual variability in ovarian sensitivity to recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone (rFSH) during controlled ovarian stimulation (COS). Clinically appl…

BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) frequently manifest sleep disturbances and psychological morbidity. This study examined associations between cerebral activation patterns, sleep quality, and psychologic…

Endometriosis is a common, estrogen-driven chronic gynecologic disorder defined by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue within the peritoneal cavity. Existing treatment options, primarily surgery and hormonal therapy, are limited b…

Digital symptom checkers (SCs) are increasingly used to support early symptom recognition and care-seeking, yet evidence on their cost-effectiveness remains limited. We conducted an economic evaluation of a digital SC for endometriosis, a p…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of Xiaonang Yusi decoction (XNYSD, ) in patients with phlegm-dampness type polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET), and to investigate its un…

This study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying luteolin's therapeutic effects on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis (EM), thereby providing a theoretical foundation for developing novel treatment strategies…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the feasibility of quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) and R2* mapping in assessing iron deposition in endometriotic ovarian cysts (EMO) and their potential implications for ovarian reserve. MATERIALS AND METH…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis, an estrogen-dependent condition characterized by endometrial invasion into the myometrium, is associated with reduced live birth rates and increased miscarriage risk in women undergoing assisted reproductive technol…

BACKGROUND: The specific gut microbial signatures and their correlation with immune-inflammatory markers in infertile women with endometriosis remain underexplored.To investigate the differences in gut microbiota and their associations with…

Despite ongoing challenges in developing effective non-surgical and non-hormonal treatments for endometriosis, the psychological manifestations of the disease-particularly anxiety-remain comparatively underexplored. In this study, a hydroge…

BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, we noticed that a large group of young female patients diagnosed with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) suffer from hip/groin pain in daily lives and particularly during menstruation. However, it…

BACKGROUND: Expulsion of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) limits its effectiveness in adenomyosis management, particularly in patients with anatomical risk factors. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and sh…

Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder affecting up to 10% of women of reproductive age, and the absence of reliable noninvasive diagnostic tools contributes to delayed diagnosis and disease progression. To identify potentia…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. There is a lack of effective biomarkers for early detection and revealing mechanisms of endometriosis. CSNK2A1 is a compositionally activ…

BackgroundCervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) exhibits profound spatial heterogeneity in evolutionary trajectories across distinct tumour foci, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.MethodsIn this study, we performed an…

BackgroundOvarian cancer is a major female reproductive health issue with heterogeneous biological features on its subtypes, which may require different therapeutic strategies. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists were reporte…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of different COH protocols on pregnancy outcomes in adenomyosis patients. STUDY DESIGN: A real-world retrospective cohort study analyzed 1486 IVF-ET cycles in adenomyosis patients who received COH regimen…

Exosomes, as key mediators of intercellular communication, play a central regulatory role in cellular physiological and pathological processes through their dynamic interaction with the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is a dynamic network co…

OBJECTIVE: To identify clinicopathologic predictors of concurrent endometrial carcinoma (EC) and need for lymph node assessment at time of hysterectomy for atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) in a minority-enriched population. METHODS: …

BackgroundLarge language models (LLMs) offer opportunities for sexual health education, but integrating them into digital products presents clinical challenges and risks, particularly regarding clinical safety and monitoring at scale. This …

Ovarian endometriosis (OvE) is a gynecological disorder with endometrial tissue in the ovaries, for which effective non-invasive diagnosis and curative treatments are currently lacking. Serum samples were collected from both discovery and v…

Lysine lactylation (Kla) is a novel form of post-translational modification. It utilizes lactate as its core substrate. Through an enzymatic regulatory network, it mediates modifications of both histones and non-histone proteins. This modif…

ObjectiveTo evaluate whether vitamin D supplementation improves live birth rates in women with polycystic ovary syndrome undergoing in vitro fertilisation.DesignMulticentre, double blind, placebo controlled, randomised clinical trial.Settin…

BackgroundSpontaneous heterotopic pregnancy is an uncommon and possibly serious problem characterized by maternities at unique implantation sites, with only one occurring in the intrauterine cavity. Its incidence is approximately 1 in 30,00…
