BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common disease among women of childbearing age. However, the molecular mechanism behind it is still unknown. Therefore, new biomarkers and therapeutic targets are needed to improve the diagnosis and treatment …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of assisted reproductive technology (ART) on the risk of cerebral palsy (CP) in offspring. METHODS: We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus databases for observation…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop a machine learning (ML) model integrated with SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis to predict postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) following vaginal deliveries, offering a potential tool for personaliz…

BACKGROUND: Chronic endometritis (CE) has been widely recognized as a potential cause of infertility, however, access to effective treatment is a formidable challenge due to the rudimentary understanding of the pathogenesis of persistent CE…

Ageing of the endometrium is a critical factor that affects reproductive health, yet its intricate mechanisms remain poorly explored. In this study, we performed transcriptome profiling and experimental verification of endometrium and endom…

Document-level biomedical relation extraction (BioDocuRE) is essential for biomedical knowledge discovery, as many factual relationships between biomedical entities span multiple sentences or even the entire document. Despite recent advance…

High incidence of unexplained miscarriage (UM) limits global human reproduction. Lithium (Li) batteries are widely used but rarely recycled, causing Li to spread into environments and enter human body. Notably, the healthy effects of Li exp…

INTRODUCTION: Ovarian cancer significantly contributes to cancer-related deaths among women. Resistance to anchorage-dependent cell death (anoikis) plays a vital role in facilitating metastasis and worsening patient prognosis. Recent develo…

BACKGROUND: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a ubiquitous sexually transmitted infection globally, frequently associated with sexual behaviors characterized by increased frequency and multiple partnerships. The relationship between v…

Expanding in vitro fertilization (IVF) access requires improved patient counseling and affordability via cost-success transparency. Clinicians ask how two types of live birth prediction (LBP) models perform: machine learning, center-specifi…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a persistent inflammatory condition whose three main symptoms, mass, pain, and infertility, severely affect female patients of childbearing age. Hu-Po-San (HPS), a preparation consisting of various herbal …

A thin endometrium can lead to low clinical pregnancy rates, low live birth rates, high spontaneous abortion rates, and low birth weight. However, current methods of treating thin endometria do not achieve ideal results. This study explored…

OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the role of the c-Fos/estrogen receptors (ERs)/mTOR pathway in lipid metabolism in human follicular granulosa cells of individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Specifically, we aim to determine w…

The substantial apprehension facing young cancer patients revolves around the onset of chemotherapy-induced premature ovarian failure (POF), primarily linked to damage inflicted upon granulosa cells (GCs). The inquiry delves into the protec…

Non-invasive liquid biopsy is a promising strategy for ovarian cancer (OC) detection. We evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of a multi-analyte approach combining circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detection with protein biomarkers for early …

BACKGROUND: The National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) plays a pivotal role in supporting basic medical research and shaping national funding priorities. As clinical and scientific demands in obstetrics and gynecology grow, par…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors of intravenous Leiomyomatosis (IVL), a rare yet recurrent disease. METHODS: This retrospective observational study enrolled 43 patients with pathologically confi…

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to dissect the aetiological subgroups of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) that occur after vaginal delivery in women with full-term singleton pregnancies. Our goal was to craft and validate predictive models to guid…

BACKGROUND: The effect of pre-pregnancy intrauterine device (IUD) use on subsequent preterm birth (PTB) remains unclear. We aim to investigate the association between IUD use before pregnancy and subsequent PTB. METHODS: A total of 240,437…

Deoxynivalenol (DON) and octyl gallate (OG) are prevalent compounds in the environment and food. DON is frequently detected in cereals such as corn and wheat, while OG is commonly employed as a food additive. As a result, human exposure to …

INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive techniques have been widely adopted for hysterectomy, including Transumbilical Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Surgery (TU-LESS) and Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES). Howeve…

Purpose: Uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) is a gynecological malignancy with poor prognosis and high lethality rates. Pyroptosis, a pro-inflammatory programmed cell death pattern, significantly influences tumor growth, developmen…
