BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent benign inflammatory disorder characterized by the implantation of active endometrial tissue (glands or stroma) outside the uterus, with pelvic adhesions as a core hallmark. Omental endometr…

PurposeVaginal delivery is the most common mode of childbirth, and women often experience severe uterine contraction pain (UCP) for several days postpartum, which can significantly impair postpartum recovery. Acupuncture has proven efficacy…

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are nanoscale vesicles actively released by Gram-negative bacteria, and have become key mediators in bacterial physiology, host-pathogen interactions, and disease pathogenesis. The biogenesis of OMVs is a dyna…

BackgroundFirst-line treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen for primary dysmenorrhea is effective for short-term pain relief but is often associated with a high recurrence of pain upon discontinuation. Tradition…

BackgroundTotal pancreatectomy (TP) is necessary in some cases to treat pancreatic cancer. However, TP is still controversial due to its unsatisfactory short- and long-term clinical outcomes previously. This study aimed to compare the perio…

Background/Objectives: Primary dysmenorrhea is a common gynecological disorder characterized by painful uterine contractions. Danggui Buxue Decoction (DBD) is used to treat menstrual irregularities, but its mechanism in primary dysmenorrhea…

ContextGonadotropin treatment to induce spermatogenesis for gonadotropin-deficient men is the only medically treatable cause of male infertility. However, time-dependent analyses of fertility outcomes in large cohorts are lacking. We evalua…

BackgroundPremature ovarian insufficiency (POI) significantly impairs female fertility and poses substantial health risks; however, its pathogenesis is incompletely understood, and effective therapeutic interventions are limited. Although g…

Poor ovarian response (POR) constitutes a notable clinical challenge within the domain of assisted reproductive technology, primarily attributable to the lack of reliable biomarkers for precise diagnosis and treatment. This study reveals si…

Uterine mechanical properties, particularly tissue stiffness, are dynamically regulated during the embryo implantation window to ensure optimal mechanocompatibility. However, maternal aging and fibrotic pathologies, such as adenomyosis and …

BACKGROUND: Pro-EGCG has shown therapeutic promise for endometriosis, yet its immunoregulatory mechanisms remain unclear. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are key drivers of disease progression. This study investigates whether Pro-E…

BACKGROUND: Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an ultra-rare (prevalence ~ 1:2 million), devastating genetic disorder characterized by progressive heterotopic ossification. Crucially, surgical trauma is a potent trigger for cata…

Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder, with its pathogenesis potentially linked to oxidative stress. Carotenoids, as natural antioxidants, may play a role in its prevention. This study aimed to investigate the association betw…

This case report describes a 43-year-old woman who presented with a symptomatic left Bartholin's gland cyst accompanied by a markedly elevated serum CA19-9 levels (>1,000 U/ml). Despite initial concerns for malignancy, comprehensive evaluat…

PURPOSE: Although observational studies suggest a link between socioeconomic status (SES) and hormone-related gynecologic diseases, the causal direction and mediating mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to explore the causal relation…

BackgroundAt present, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the primary treatment for gallstone. Although the application of LC has been widespread in developed countries, the cost-effectiveness of LC in high-altitude, low-resource regions r…

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) imaging in distinguishing cystic or predominantly cystic ovarian lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 49 patients underwent APTw imaging at 3T…

Spatial transcriptomics enables in situ molecular profiling, allowing to measure the cellular transcriptional output within the tissue. As the tissue architecture is conserved, spatial domains with specific transcriptional patterns can be i…

BackgroundZona pellucida (ZP) plays an important role in oocyte development and fertilisation, as well as in early embryo development. However, there is currently no exploration of systematic categorising and clinical treatment measures for…

PurposeTo explore the postoperative opioid-sparing effect and incidence of adverse events of different dosages of intraoperative esketamine administration in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery.Patients and methodsPatient…

Primordial follicles form the non-renewable germline reserve in female mammals; their limited number is a key determinant of reproductive lifespan and is crucial for female fertility. Insufficient or parasomnia sleep is common in females, y…

Follicular atresia is a critical physiological process that ensures the selection of high-quality oocytes by eliminating non-viable follicles. In women, 99.9% of follicles undergo atresia naturally, the premature or dysregulated atresia fol…
