Ovarian aging, a major contributor to declining fertility in women of advanced reproductive age (ARA), is strongly associated with impaired mitochondrial function within oocytes. Although current mitochondrial-targeted strategies can improv…

BACKGROUND: Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is a common cause of chronic constipation which can reciprocally exacerbate pelvic floor burden. However, the characteristics and evolution of pelvic floor structures in patients with constipation …

OBJECTIVE: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a gynecological malignancy associated with high mortality, largely due to frequent diagnosis at advanced stages resulting from its asymptomatic early presentation. Although several single nucleo…

BACKGROUND: The optimal surgical approach for reconstructing abdominal wall defects after radical resection of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) remains debated. This study aimed to compare the perioperative safety, recovery outcomes, and …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of both pre- and post-ovulation post-wash total progressive motile sperm count (TPMSC) on pregnancy outcomes in intrauterine insemination (IUI) using husband's sperm (AIH). METHODS: This retrospective c…

Massive abdominal wall defects resulting from radical abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) resection present a major reconstructive challenge. This study aims to assess feasibility and short-term safety of a standardized retromuscular-onlay d…

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Pingchong Jiangni recipe (PJR) is a Chinese herbal formula that has been used clinically for decades in the treatment of endometriosis, with effects such as shrinking the lesions and reducing the recurrence r…

Pingchong Jiangni recipe (PJR) is a Chinese herbal formula that has been used clinically for decades in the treatment of endometriosis, with effects such as shrinking the lesions and reducing the recurrence rate. However, the mechanisms und…

Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE), often post-cesarean, can cause massive abdominal wall defects following lesion resection. This report details a novel open technique for recurrent massive AWE in a 32-year-old female involving radical exc…

The Ping-Chong-Jiang-Ni Formula (PCJNF), a compound of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has demonstrated remarkable clinical effectiveness and is widely utilized in the treatment of endometriosis (EMs). Previous studies have shown that P…

If carbon emissions are not substantially reduced, human health will suffer irreparably. At the same time, global healthcare suffers from inequitable distribution which also leads to avoidable suffering. Health practitioners have always ass…

Pyroptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death that depends on gasdermin-mediated pore formation in the plasma membrane and the release of inflammatory factors. Pyroptosis is closely linked to the occurrence and progression of almost a…

BACKGROUND: Diabetes 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. OBJECTIVE:…

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Pingchong Jiangni recipe (PJR) is often used in the treatment of endometriosis (EM). This formula has been clinically validated by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine Key Specialties Coll…

BACKGROUND: Metabolites in spent embryo culture medium correlate with the embryo's viability. However, there is no widely accepted method using metabolite dada to predict successful implantation. We sought to combine metabolomic profiling o…

Female mice homozygous for an engineered Gnrhr E90K mutation have reduced gonadotropin-releasing hormone signaling, leading to infertility. Their ovaries have numerous antral follicles but no corpora lutea, indicating a block to ovulation. …

BACKGROUND: Microwave ablation (MWA) is widely used to treat unresectable primary and secondary malignancies of the liver, and a limited number of studies indicate that ablation can cause not only necrosis at the in situ site but also an im…

miR-424(322)/-503 are mammal-specific members of the extended miR-15/107 microRNA family. They form a co-expression network with the imprinted lncRNA H19 in tetrapods. miR-424(322)/-503 regulate fundamental cellular processes including cell…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease that is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. The main symptoms include dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. …

BACKGROUND: At present, a diagnostic tool with high specificity for impaired endometrial receptivity, which may lead to implantation failure, remains to be developed. We aimed to assess the different endometrial microRNA (miRNA) signatures …

BACKGROUND: Long time exposure to particular matter has been linked to myocardial infarction, stroke and blood pressure, but its association with atherosclerosis is not clear. This meta-analysis was aimed at assessing whether PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀…

OBJECTIVE: The impact of polypropylene mesh implantation on vaginal collagen and elastin metabolism was analyzed using a nonhuman primate model to further delineate the mechanism of mesh induced complications. STUDY DESIGN: Forty-nine midd…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of basal testosterone (T) levels with the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). METHODS: Complete clinical data on the first 223 IVF cycles in wome…

Biofilm infections are frequently caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis, are resistant to antimicrobial agents, and adversely affect patient outcomes. We evaluated farnesol (FSL), the Candida quorum-sensing molecule, on S. epidermidis biofil…
