Endometriosis, particularly ovarian endometriosis (OE), is a major cause of infertility, often associated with reduced oocyte quality and impaired ovarian function. Iron overload plays a key role in OE progression. This study investigates t…

Endometrial receptivity is essential for successful pregnancy, and endometriosis is widely recognized as a disruptor of this process. Poor endometrial receptivity is also a key factor contributing to recurrent implantation failure. Although…

Although per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure has been linked to endometriosis, this association remains controversial, and the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to investigate this relationship and explore …

High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), an epithelial ovarian carcinoma, is primarily believed to originate from fallopian tube epithelial cells. This site of origin facilitates the dissemination of tumor cells to retroperitoneal organ…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian endometriosis is a common gynecological condition characterized by the abnormal growth of endometrial-like tissue in locations outside the uterus, and its development remains poorly understood. This study aims to investi…

Mesenchymal cells constitute the primary structural support elements within endometriotic lesions, yet their pivotal roles in endometriotic pathogenesis remain largely uncharted. This study aimed to construct a single-cell atlas of endometr…

Abstract Background Patients with adenomyosis are thought to exist in a hypercoagulable state; however, the specific alterations in thromboelastography (TEG) remain to be elucidated. This study aimed to assess changes in TEG metrics and t…

Antimicrobial resistance is a major global health concern. However, the source of gut resistome remains unsolved. We aimed to analyze the contribution of environmental antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) to colorectal cancer (CRC) patient…

RationaleLow-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is a rare subtype of appendiceal pathology characterized by epithelial hyperplasia, cellular atypia, and mucinous accumulation within the appendiceal lumen, leading to obstructive expa…

ObjectiveTo report the long-term re-intervention of patients with uterine fibroids after ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (USgHIFU) ablation and to analyse the influencing factors of re-intervention in patients in the NPV…

Aldo-Keto Reductase Family 1 Member C3 (AKR1C3), also known as type 5 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17β-HSD5) or prostaglandin F (PGF) synthase, functions as a pivotal enzyme in androgen biosynthesis. It catalyzes the conversion of weak…

BACKGROUND: Caffeine has been suggested to have a relationship with endometriosis as a widely consumed psychoactive substance, although findings are inconsistent. OBJECTIVE: This study explored the potential associations and threshold effe…

Radiotherapy exhibits significant versatility and efficacy in cancer treatment, thereby playing a crucial role in the field of oncology. However, there remains an urgent need for extensive research on various aspects of radiotherapy, includ…

Designing and standardizing drug formulations are crucial for ensuring the safety and efficacy of medications. Nanomedicine utilizes nano drug delivery systems and advanced nanodevices to address numerous critical medical challenges. Curren…

BackgroundEvidence indicates that the risk of developing a secondary ovarian cancer (OC) is correlated with estrogen receptor (ER) status. However, the clinical significance of the relationship between ER-associated breast cancer (BC) and c…

AIM: We aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of transvaginal sonography (TVS) versus magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) in the rectovaginal septum (RVS) of affected patients. MATERI…

BackgroundChronic salpingitis is one of the most common causes of female infertility. Luteal support is a critical step for embryo transfer. Here, we evaluated the effects of two luteal support regimens, intramuscular progesterone (IMP) and…

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is highly prevalent in women of reproductive age worldwide, exhibits highly heterogeneous clinical presentation and biochemical parameters, and has no cure. This study aimed to investigate the role…

Abstract Background Previous studies have reported an association between gut microbial dysbiosis and ovarian diseases, however, it is not clear whether a causal association exists. Methods Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis …

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested that oil-based contrast agents used during hysterosalpingography (HSG) in infertile patients can enhance fertility. However, limited research has investigated the effect of oil-based contrast medi…

As the mean age of first-time mothers increases in the industrialized world, inquiries into causes of human reproductive senescence have followed. Rates of ovulatory dysfunction and oocyte aneuploidy parallel chronological age, but poor rep…

BACKGROUD: Laparoscopic adenomyomectomy combined with intraoperative placement of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUS) is a novel conservative surgical procedure for adenomyosis. Our study aimed to compare the efficacy of …

BackgroundThis study aimed to examine the differential variations in the metabolic composition of follicular fluid (FF) among normal-weight patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and controls and to identify potential biomarkers tha…

Microplastics (MPs) are synthetic solid particles or polymer matrices that range in size from 1 μm to 5 mm. MPs are widely present in the global biosphere, leading to increasing concerns about their impact on human health. In this study, mi…
