IntroductionAlpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential polyunsaturated fatty acid, modulates gastrointestinal microbiota and host immunity, yet its regulatory mechanisms in dairy cows remain unclear.MethodsThis study investigated how dietary …

Euodiae Fructus (EF) is the dried and nearly ripe fruit of Euodia rutaecarpa, first recorded in Shen Nong's Herbal Classic. EF is a versatile Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) known for the effects of dispelling colds and alleviating pain,…

Progressive dysmenorrhea and extensive fibrosis within the myometrium are hallmark features of adenomyosis (AM). Approximately 80% of patients with AM experience secondary dysmenorrhea, which occurs more frequently in AM than in other gynec…

BACKGROUND: Endosalpingiosis, a rare benign condition characterized by ectopic fallopian tube-like epithelium, often coexists with endometriosis. This case report presents a unique instance of florid cystic endosalpingiosis confined to the …

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a prevalent condition among middle‑aged and older women, and is associated with the irregular production and breakdown of the extracellular matrix. Mechanical forces serve a key role in preserving the equilibr…

Study objectivesPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) confers a high risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Here we investigated the effect of OSA on first in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle metrics and outcomes in patients with PCOS.MethodsThis…

ObjectivePolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the prevalent gynecological endocrine disorders encountered in clinical practice. Women diagnosed with PCOS demonstrate increased ovarian responsiveness, rendering them more prone to ovari…

BackgroundAccurate and rapid discrimination between benign and malignant ovarian masses is crucial for optimal patient management. This study aimed to establish an ultrasound image-based nomogram combining clinical, radiomics, and deep tran…

Study questionTo construct prediction models based on the Bayesian network (BN) learning method for the probability of fertilization failure (including low fertilization rate [LRF] and total fertilization failure [TFF]) in assisted reproduc…

Telomere attrition plays a critical role in the reproductive aging process in humans. Telomere length (TL) is typically regulated by telomerase, the main component of which is telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT). The aim of the present …

BackgroundNeuroimaging studies have identified altered brain structures and functions in women with primary dysmenorrhea (PDM). However, previous studies focused on either structural or functional changes in specific brain regions rather th…

ObjectivesTo investigate changes in brain-glucose metabolism in anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis, and compare results with MRI and electroencephalography (EEG) findings at different disease stages.MethodsThe clinical …

Growing evidence indicates that aberrant methylation is pivotal in the development and progression of endometriosis (EMs). This study explores the relationship between abnormal methylation of the ENPP3 promoter and the pathogenesis of ovari…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the risk of recurrence and reintervention after uterine-sparing treatment options for symptomatic adenomyosis, including adenomyomectomy, uterine artery embolization (UAE), and image-guided thermal ablation. DATA SOU…

BackgroundDiminished/decreased ovarian reserve (DOR) is a disorder of ovarian function, which severely affects women's reproductive health. Accumulating evidence has found that adverse environmental factors can affect ovarian function. Howe…

BackgroundNeuroimaging studies have confirmed that functional connectivity (FC) disruption of pain-related brain networks may contribute to the cerebral pathophysiology of primary dysmenorrhea (PDM). However, it remains unclear whether FC o…

Abnormal gene expression caused by epigenetic changes, including DNA methylation, is associated with the development and progression of endometriosis. Grainyhead-like 2 gene (GRHL2), a suppressor of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, has be…

PurposeThis study aimed to develop a risk prediction of fertilization disorders during the in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI).MethodsA retrospective study was performed with 106,728 fresh embryo IVF/ICSI cycl…

BackgroundConceptions following in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) have an increased risk of congenital anomalies. Few studies have explored the prognosis of fetuses with congenital anomalies. This study…

ObjectivesTo evaluate International Endometrial Tumor Analysis (IETA) ultrasonographic characteristics simple scoring method and tumor biomarkers for the diagnosis of uterine cavity and endometrial lesions.MethodsWe classified and scored th…

Purpose: The current study aimed to explore the central mechanism of primary dysmenorrhea (PD) by investigating the alterations in resting state amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) and regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) between PD…

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is an increasingly serious health problem that impairs quality of life and is caused by multiple additive genetic and environmental factors. As the uterosacral ligaments (ULs) provide primary support for the pelv…

Genetic causes of male infertility that is associated with aging are largely unknown. This study was designed to identify novel pathogenic variants of FOXP3 gene causing azoospermia. One homozygous (c.155 G > T) pathogenic variant of FOXP3 …

ObjectiveTo study the structural relationship between annexin A4 and the Lewis y antigen and compare their expression and significance in ovarian clear cell carcinoma, and to explore how annexin A4 fucose glycosylation effects the interacti…
