BackgroundIn this study, we aimed to explore the effect of the timing of surgical management of hydrosalpinx on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic single-sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) pregnancy outcomes in patients with tubal factor infer…

ObjectiveWe 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.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed data f…

Patients with endometriosis have greater risk of infertility, which is associated with compromised ovarian function. Dysfunction in follicular granulosa cells and hyperactivation of oestrogen receptor beta (ERβ) are evident in endometriosis…

Adult endometrial glands undergo cyclic regeneration and development during the menstrual cycle. Their secretions are vital for endometrial functions and early pregnancy, yet the mechanisms controlling gland development are not well underst…

BackgroundSyndrome differentiation in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is pivotal to clinical practice and dictates the efficacy of medicinal treatments. However, precision diagnostic models for TCM syndromes, constructed from biomarkers …

The growing diversity of anthropogenic chemicals in the environment far exceeds the scope of routine analytical monitoring. Non-target screening (NTS) using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) has thus emerged to discover unknown organ…

BACKGROUND: The gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio (GGT/HDL) has recently emerged as a potential biomarker for metabolic and liver diseases. This study aimed to investigate the association between GGT/H…

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to explore shared genetic architectures and potential causal associations between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and gynecological diseases, including ovarian cysts (OC), pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and endometr…

Background and objectiveIleal ureter replacement (IUR) is the definitive management approach for extensive ureteral strictures (UrSs). Patients with UrS exhibit poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We conducted a long-term, multi-in…

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…

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a) often induce menopausal symptoms, negatively affecting women's psychological, emotional, and physical health. Kuntai capsule is widely used in clinical practic…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 5 Group A Member 1 (NR5A1, encoding SF-1) hypomethylation in endometriosis (EMs) and to evaluate the effects of Luoshi Neiyi Prescription (LSNYP…

Teverelix is a short non-natural peptide, which is a gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonist and used as a treatment for prostate cancer. Teverelix is formulated as a trifluoroacetic acid salt, which, at the high concentrations used for p…

Metabolism-regulating microspheres have evolved from conventional drug carriers into active platforms capable of spatiotemporally reprogramming pathological metabolic networks. Chronic diseases are increasingly understood to be driven by me…

Sex hormone related disorders, characterized by complex etiology and long-term health risks, pose a significant challenge to global health. Hormone-based therapies are often accompanied by adverse effects and fail to address the underlying …

The hypothalamus plays a vital role in reproductive processes. Previous studies have identified hypothalamic miRNAs involved in mammalian reproduction, but the miRNA profiles induced by photoperiod changes remain unclear. In this study, we …

For women with diminished ovarian reserve or of advanced age, controlled ovarian stimulation presents a significant challenge during in vitro fertilization cycles. This multi-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial enrolled 318 wome…

Endometrial polyps (EPs) are common uterine lesions associated with abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility, yet their pathogenesis remains poorly defined. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of normal endometrium, para-polyp, a…

BACKGROUND: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a highly fibrotic and deeply invasive subtype of endometriosis that causes severe pelvic pain, infertility and marked impairment of quality of life. Metabolic, microbial and immune distur…

BackgroundCervical clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCAC) and cervical endometrioid adenocarcinoma (CEAC) are rare and aggressive non-HPV-associated malignancies. Despite their histological similarities, these subtypes demonstrate distinct biolog…

Endometriosis is a benign yet aggressive disease characterized by enhanced proliferation and invasion of ectopic endometrial tissue. Identifying upstream regulators that co-regulate these processes will provide novel insights into endometri…
