OBJECTIVES: To investigate the mechanism of Angelica sinensis polysac-charide (ASP) ameliorating endometriosis (EMT) via the Kelch-like epichlorohydrin-associated protein 1 (Keap1)/nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxy…

OBJECTIVE: The study investigates the impact of gonadotropin (Gn) dose on embryo quality and pregnancy outcome in patients receiving controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) with antagonist regimen fertility treatment to identify the optimal do…

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the effect of seasons on embryo quality and pregnancy outcomes among infertile patients undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET)-assisted pregnancy. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is characterized by pain symptoms that seriously affect patients' quality of life. Gut microbiome-related metabolites (GMRM) play an important role in the process of EMS. However, the role of GMRM in endometr…

BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) mainly develops in cases of fibrosis and cirrhosis and is accompanied by intestinal flora disorder. HCC also affects CD8+ T cell immune function. 5,7-Dimethoxyflavone (DMF), an active flavonoid wit…

Currently, hormonal therapy for endometriosis faces challenges in achieving a balance between treatment and preserving the chance of pregnancy. Therefore, the development of non-hormonal therapy holds significant clinical importance. Angiog…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease that severely affects the physical and mental health of women of childbearing age. Due to the significant side effects of traditional hormone therapies, non-hormonal treatment strategies are ur…

Multifunctional small-molecule theranostic agents hold significant clinical potential for non-invasive endometriosis (EMS) management. Current EMS treatment faces challenges due to imprecise lesion localization and therapy-associated side e…

Background: Endometriosis (EMS), which affects >10% of women, is characterized by painful symptoms, such as dysmenorrhea. Meanwhile, the gut microbiota is linked to EMS; however, the relationship between the gut microbiota and EMS-related p…

BACKGROUND: Opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) protocols using esketamine and dexmedetomidine have shown potential benefits for perioperative pain control with fewer side effects. We explored whether an esketamine–dexmedetomidine OFA regimen acce…

BACKGROUND: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are common complications that adversely affect pregnancy outcomes. However, data on their independent and combined impacts on fetal growth and per…

An increasing number of research have suggested that ferroptosis plays an important role in endometriosis (EMS). This study was to identify a ferroptosis-related diagnosis gene in EMS by using bioinformatics. R Bioconductor package limma wa…

Endometriosis (EMS), a chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately 10 % reproductive aged women, remains etiologically unclear. This study aims to investigate the role and underlying mechanisms of frizzled class receptor 7 (FZD7) i…

BACKGROUND: Rectosigmoid endometriosis (RSE) presents with a diverse array of MRI findings that impact surgical planning. No standardized reporting and data system has been established for RSE. PURPOSE: We propose a novel MRI scoring syste…

Abstract Background: Rectosigmoid endometriosis (RSE) presents with a diverse array of MRI findings that impact surgical planning. No standardized reporting and data system has been established for RSE. Purpose: We propose a novel MRI scor…

This study aimed to identify risk and protective factors for postoperative recurrence of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). We analyzed 320 patients undergoing laparoscopic excision with ≥ 6 years follow-up at the First Affiliated Hospi…

Endometriosis is the presence of hormonally sensitive endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus. It is a common condition, affecting 10% of reproductive-age people assigned as female at birth. Although usually occurring in the pelvis, it c…

The safety and clinical effectiveness of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) in improving pregnancy outcomes for sub-fertile patients remains controversial. Potential sex-based differences in the relationship between PGT-…

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the impact of paternal age > 40 years on clinical pregnancy and perinatal outcomes among patients undergoing in vitro fertilization treatment. METHODS: We selected 75 male patients (aged > 40 years)…

OBJECTIVE: This report summarizes the characteristics of a series of 8 recent (2020-2022) patients with abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) who underwent laparoscopic surgery. The feasibility and advantages of laparoscopy in the treatment of…

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to comprehensively investigate the potential genetic link between periodontitis and adverse pregnancy outcomes using a two-sample Mendelian Randomization approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We employed robust genet…

PURPOSE: The study aims to evaluate whether frozen embryo transfer can restore optimal receptivity leading to better assisted reproductive technology outcomes in women with endometriosis. METHODS: This systematic review and meta-analysis, …

BACKGROUND: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a known regulator of the development and maintenance of chronic pain in various chronic disorders. Together with its high-affinity tyrosine kinase type B (TrKB) receptor, BDNF is exten…
