Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues represent an invaluable resource for both basic and clinical research due to their stable preservation of tissue architecture and molecular integrity. Multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) using …

Primary infertility affects 15% of couples worldwide, yet many genetic causes remain unknown. Through whole-exome sequencing of a woman with primary infertility and repeated embryo implantation failure, we identified a novel homozygous fram…

BackgroundDysmenorrhea is the most common menstrual disorder among young women and often disrupts daily activities and well-being. Although pharmacological management is widely used, sustainable non-pharmacological strategies remain underex…

BACKGROUND: tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) have been shown to play important regulatory roles in cancer biology. However, the impact of tRFs on lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains largely unexplored. METHODS: The differential expression of tR…

Endometrial cancer (EC) encompasses various histological and molecular subtypes, each with unique immune, endocrine and metabolic characteristics, resulting in varying responses to treatment. Although immunotherapy, endocrine therapy and me…

BackgroundPeriodontitis has increasingly been recognized for its impact on systemic health. Mendelian Randomization (MR), an emerging causal inference method, effectively overcomes confounding biases in observational studies. To systematica…

BACKGROUND: Benign gallbladder disease, including gallstones, gallbladder polyps, and gallbladder adenomyosis, is one of the most common disorders of the digestive system worldwide and poses a substantial clinical and economic burden. Despi…

BackgroundHigh-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is an emerging non-invasive therapy for breast fibroadenoma. However, its efficacy across different breast glandular types, which may influence acoustic energy deposition, remains underexpl…

INTRODUCTION: This study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of robotic single-port transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RSP-vNOTES) compared with robotic Xi-assisted single-incision transumbilical surgery (R…

BACKGROUND: Deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), characterized by its extrauterine invasion, is strongly associated with chronic pelvic pain (CPP). Peripheral-central sensitization synergistically contribute to the pathogenesis of CPP i…

Pelvic organ prolapse remains a common condition requiring durable surgical correction, with sacrocolpopexy considered the gold standard. Transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) has emerged as a scarless minima…

BackgroundPredicting clinical pregnancy following intrauterine insemination (IUI) remains challenging because of the complex interplay of multiple biological and treatment-related factors. Machine learning approaches may improve predictive …

BACKGROUND: Effective individualized tools to predict cumulative live birth rates are lacking for patients with ovarian endometriomas undergoing In Vitro Fertilization or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection after ultrasound-guided ethanol scle…

AbstractLow oocyte retrieval (LOR), defined as oocytes retrieved from <50% of mature follicles, significantly impacts IVF success, especially in patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). Predictive models tailored for this population …

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous ovarian endometrioma rupture typically presents with acute abdominal pain, a condition often complicated by tissue edema and pelvic adhesions that increase surgical difficulty. This study aims to evaluate the impact …

IntroductionAcupuncture has been explored as a potential intervention for POR; however, high-quality evidence is limited. This multicenter randomized trial evaluated the effect of acupuncture on the number of oocytes retrieved following con…

IntroductionDiminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is known to reduce the likelihood of achieving pregnancy or live births in women undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Acupuncture maybe effective for DOR, but current e…

Endometrial carcinoma arising in adenomyosis (EC-AIA) is a rare entity that originates deep within the myometrium and often spares the endometrial lining. We report a 53-year-old woman who presented with a vascularized uterine mass invading…

Vasohibin-1 (VASH-1) is an endothelial protein that serves as a negative feedback regulator of angiogenesis. Through its microtubule carboxypeptidase activity, VASH-1 plays a key role in vascular homeostasis. While previous studies have inv…

Human endometrial receptivity is a critical determinant of pregnancy success; however, in vivo studies of its features and regulation are particularly challenging due to ethical restrictions. Recently, the development of human endometrial a…

Severe pneumonia is the leading cause of mortality in individuals with lung disease. Programmed cell death (PCD) is implicated in various pathologies; however, the precise relationship between severe pneumonia and PCD remains unclear. This …

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…

ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore the diagnosis and treatment of patients who have reached menarche but present with clinical manifestations of genital tract obstruction.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 72 patients with a…

Blood-based liquid biopsies hold transformative potential for non-invasive cancer management, but current approaches relying on rare circulating tumor components limit their broad clinical utility. Platelets, abundant in blood and mediating…

The cryopreservation of ovarian tissue can induce oxidative damage. In this study, we investigated whether low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) can mitigate this oxidative damage and examined the underlying molecular mechanisms. Ovarian …
