The uric acid (UA) to HDL-cholesterol ratio (UHR) has recently been proposed as a novel marker of cardiometabolic and inflammatory risk. This study aimed to investigate the association between UHR and infertility in U.S. women of reproducti…
STUDY BACKGROUND: Preoperative assessment of the severity of pelvic adhesions in endometriosis remains challenging. Inflammation may drive adhesion formation, and the predictive value of the neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR, the…
BACKGROUND: Matrix remodeling-associated 7 (MXRA7) plays a key role in physiological and pathological processes involving the extracellular matrix (ECM) and tissue remodeling. Recent studies have highlighted its functions in tissue injury, …
Endometriomas, commonly known as ovarian chocolate cysts, are a prevalent condition in women of reproductive age. They are cysts formed by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue within the ovary, often leading to dysmenorrhea and infertil…
BACKGROUND: Uterus ageing is a crucial factor contributing to decreased fertility in older women and is also implicated in menstrual disorders, endometritis, and adenomyosis. Bushen Jianpi Tiaoxue Decoction (BJTD) is a traditional Chinese m…
RESEARCH QUESTION: How does tubal endometriosis (TEM) impact the morphology and ultrastructure of tubal epithelium, and what are the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of TEM? DESIGN: Epithelial samples of fallopian tube were collect…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the feasibility and clinical effects of a novel hysteroscopic levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) non-suture fixation at the uterine fundus. METHODS: From October 2023 to July 2024,…
Ovarian cancer, particularly epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), is the most aggressive and lethal gynecologic malignancy, necessitating the development of innovative and potent therapies to improve its prognosis. Human polo-like kinase 1 (PLK…
BACKGROUND: Uterine fibroids present significant obstetric challenges, particularly in late pregnancy. This study compared the outcomes of cesarean section combined with myomectomy (CS+M) versus cesarean section followed by elective myomect…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical efficacy of commonly used conservative treatments for adenomyosis using both TCM and Western medicine. METHODS: 210 patients with adenomyosis were selected and divided into 3 groups: Group A (Dan'e Fukang…
AIM: This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the detection of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders in a single tertiary care setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All el…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive disorder characterized by hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and polycystic ovaries. The quality of oocytes in PCOS patients remains poor, leading to poor pregnancy outcomes. T…
In clinical drug development, two fundamental questions must be addressed: what is the success rate of drugs in clinical trial; how does such rate change over time. Here, a dynamic strategy for calculating clinical trial success rate (ClinS…
Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic gynecologic condition characterized by the growth of endometrial stromal and glandular tissue outside the uterine cavity of unknown etiology. Currently, ferroptosis resistance, increased glycolysis, and incr…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is often associated with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), which can lead to anemia. Recurrent bleeding, especially in the presence of cerebral infarction risk, may exacerbate the likelihood of cerebral infarction thr…
STUDY QUESTION: Is there an association between changes in endometrial thickness (EMT) following progesterone administration and pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfers (FETs) at Day 3 (D3) and blastocyst stages? SUMMARY ANSWE…
PURPOSE: Endometriosis has been hypothesized to increase the risk of preeclampsia (PE) and eclampsia, although the exact mechanism of this relationship is not clear. This study aimed to further explore the potential association between endo…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to demonstrate that the EN2 protein in cervical mucus may serve as a novel biomarker for screening endometrial cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 133 patients who were treated at Beijing Obstetric…
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies and is a highly heterogeneous disease; it is also a leading cause of cancer-related death. Owing to the complexity and late-stage diagnosis of GC, the prognosis remains poor. To exp…
BACKGROUND: Microplastics (MPs) are pervasive environmental pollutants that pose significant health risks. While their prevalence in ecosystems is well-established, their accumulation in the human body and potential role in tumorigenesis de…
Diseases of the female reproductive system are prevalent. These conditions often have a high proportion of asymptomatic patients and prolonged treatment durations. Estrogen, a crucial steroid hormone, plays a central role in most diseases o…
Ovarian cancer remains a formidable global health burden, characterized by frequent late-stage diagnosis and elevated mortality rates attributable to its elusive pathogenesis and the critical lack of reliable early-detection biomarkers. Eme…
