This study aims to analyze the cycle characteristics, pregnancy, and neonatal outcomes in early rescue intracytoplasmic sperm injection (r-ICSI) cycles in normal and hyper-ovarian response women in their first IVF/ICSI attempts. Data from s…

OBJECTIVE: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a distinct entity from epithelial ovarian cancer. The prognosis of advanced and recurrent disease is very poor due to resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. Our aim was to explore the molecu…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of focused ultrasound ablation (FUSA) versus conventional myomectomy on pelvic adhesions and fertility in the treatment of uterine fibroids. METHODS: The clinical data of 114 patients with uterine fibr…

Ezrin, a plasma membrane-microfilament linker, is a cytoskeletal organizer involved in many cellular activities by binding to the membrane protein-ezrin-cytoskeletal protein complex and regulating downstream signal transduction. Increasing …

OBJECTIVE: Progesterone receptor membrane component 2 (PGRMC2) belongs to the membrane-associated progesterone receptor family, which regulates multiple pathophysiological processes. However, the role of PGRMC2 in ischemic stroke remains un…

BACKGROUND: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is an important cause of infertility characterized by the functional decline of the ovary. Granulosa cells (GCs) around oocytes are critical for folliculogenesis, and GC dysfunction is one o…

Due to the poor metabolic conditions fomenting the emergence of the Warburg effect (WE) phenotype, abnormal glycometabolism has become a unique and fundamental research topic in the field of tumor biology. Moreover, hyperglycemia and hyperi…

Endometriosis is a hormone-dependent inflammatory disease characterized by the existence of endometrial tissues outside the uterine cavity. Pharmacotherapy and surgery are the current dominant management options for endometriosis. The great…

Various female reproductive disorders affect millions of women worldwide and bring many troubles to women's daily life. Let alone, gynecological cancer (such as ovarian cancer and cervical cancer) is a severe threat to most women's lives. E…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the association of reproductive hormones with primary dysmenorrhea in Chinese women. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted and patients with primary dysmenorrhea and non-dysmenorrhea partici…

INTRODUCTION: Ovarian cancer is one of the most fatal malignancies of the female reproductive system. The purpose of this study is to explore the mechanism of Actin Related Protein 2/3 Complex Subunit 1B(ARPC1B) in the progression of ovaria…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) greatly affects women's reproductive health, identifying new drug targets for EM is urgently needed. This study utilizes comprehensive genome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) and colocalization analyses, usin…

Objective: To evaluate the impact of chronic endometritis (CE) on the recurrence of endometrial polyps (EPs) in premenopausal women who underwent hysteroscopic polypectomy. Methods: : We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study…

BACKGROUND: Preterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal death, and there are no effective clinical means for the prevention and treatment of spontaneous preterm birth, mainly because the mechanism for labor initiation has not been fully …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and prognosis of fertility-sparing treatment on endometrial cancer (EC) and atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) patients with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2. METHODS: A total of 102 EC or AEH patients with obesity wh…

BACKGROUND: To determine whether gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist downregulation combined with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can improve the reproductive outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles for older patients (…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is an uncommon subtype of epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) that is often diagnosed at an earlier stage in younger women. It remains uncertain whether adjuvant chemotherapy improves the progn…

BACKGROUND: Uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) is the third most common gynecologic malignancy. Fatty acid metabolism (FAM) is an essential metabolic process in the immune microenvironment that occurs reprogramming in the presence …

The vagina contains at least a billion microbial cells, dominated by lactobacilli. Here we perform metagenomic shotgun sequencing on cervical and fecal samples from a cohort of 516 Chinese women of reproductive age, as well as cervical, fec…

Abstract Background: Adenomyosis is a benign gynecological disorder but has detrimental effect on female fertility of childbearing age. Melatonin is a classic antioxidant and free radical scavenger to protect against tissue damage, and exer…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease which seriously impacts female fertility and is increasing in incidence in women of childbearing age. Melatonin has beneficial effects on reproductive processes. However, its impact …

Colorectal cancer incidence and mortality have increased in recent years, with more than half of patients who died of colorectal cancer developing liver metastases. Consequently, colorectal cancer liver metastasis is the focus of clinical t…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) combined with a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) or aromatase inhibitor (letrozole) in women with endometrial carcinoma o…

BACKGROUND: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a challenge during assisted reproductive technology (ART). In the present study, potential diagnostic biomarkers for the immune status of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets in patients wi…
