BACKGROUND: Environmental exposure to trace and heavy metals may influence female fertility, yet their impact on assisted reproductive outcomes remains poorly defined. Maternal diet can potentially modulate metal-related toxicity by influen…

The human endometrium undergoes dynamic changes across the menstrual cycle to establish a receptive state for embryo implantation. Using bulk and single-cell RNA-Seq, we characterized gene expression dynamics in the cycling endometrium and …

Endometriosis is characterized by progressive fibrosis and limited therapeutic options. Cuproptosis, a copper-dependent form of regulated cell death, has been implicated in multiple pathological conditions, but its relevance to fibroblast-m…

Defective endometrial decidualization is one major cause of female infertility, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we identified that protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5), which was upregulated during decidualizatio…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to identify the most diagnostically valuable features among the 11 MRI features of Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) described in the joint consensus statement by the Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR) and the Eur…

BACKGROUND: Chronic hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV) infections represent a substantial global health burden and increasing numbers of infertile women with chronic HBV/HCV infections seek conception through in vitro fertilization (IV…

ObjectiveTo evaluate whether vitamin D supplementation improves live birth rates in women with polycystic ovary syndrome undergoing in vitro fertilisation.DesignMulticentre, double blind, placebo controlled, randomised clinical trial.Settin…

Anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS) is a rare autoimmune condition characterized by the presence of anti-aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (ARS) antibodies and systemic features such as interstitial lung disease and myositis. Although autoimmune disorde…

BACKGROUND: Prior research indicates a potential link between dyslipidemia and endometriosis (EMs). However, the relationship between remnant cholesterol (RC) and EMs has not been thoroughly investigated. Consequently, looking into and clar…

BACKGROUND: While anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) serves as a well-established biomarker of ovarian reserve, its association with early miscarriage risk remains inconsistently characterized across previous research. To address this evidence ga…

RATIONALE: Sjögren syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease with a variety of clinical presentations. Successful pregnancies and deliveries among these patients remain challenging. This manuscript describes a case report of diagnosis,…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical efficacy of transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site extracorporeal surgery (TU-LESS-E) in the treatment of giant ovarian cysts and huge cystic pelvic masses. METHODOLOGY: This was a retrospective stud…

BACKGROUND: The optimal surgical approach for hysterectomy in patients with complex large uteri remains controversial, particularly in those with uterine enlargement and obesity. This study aimed to compare perioperative outcomes and compli…

BACKGROUND: Cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC) constitutes a substantial global health burden, especially in resource-limited regions. The identification of reliable biomarkers is critical for developing a clinically applicable nomogra…

Endometriosis is a refractory estrogen-dependent gynecological disease in which ovarian endometriosis(OE) is the most common, and the main cell components are endometrial epithelial cells and stromal cells. However, constructing ectopic end…

BACKGROUND: Natural cycle in vitro fertilization (NC-IVF) represents a convenient and safe assisted reproductive technology, making it particularly advantageous for patients with poor ovarian response (POR). This research evaluates the effe…

BACKGROUND: Oocyte vitrification, a widely utilized assisted reproductive technology for fertility preservation, can address emergencies arising from the unavailability of sperm from the male partner on the day of oocyte retrieval. However,…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs), characterized by ectopic endometrial growth causing infertility. Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is an important cellular defense mechanism. However, the correlation between ERS and EMs remains unclear. W…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to develop a machine learning-based predictive model for patients with endometriosis, with the goal of precisely identifying key factors and reliable predictive markers that influence live birth outcomes following…

Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a common yet fatal complication of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). We aim to establish and validate a nomogram in patients undergoing double fresh cleava…

This study investigates changes in regional homogeneity (ReHo) of the brain in patients with adenomyosis accompanied by dysmenorrhea (AMD) before and after uterine artery embolization (UAE) surgery. ReHo is a resting-state functional magnet…

PURPOSE: Maternal age-related fertility decline is considered to be directly attributed to either embryonic or endometrial factors. Aneuploidy, as the dominant defect in aging embryos, has long diverted attention away from the effects of en…

BACKGROUND: Infertility affects millions globally, with significant social, emotional, and economic consequences. While frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) is a cornerstone of assisted reproductive technology, its clinical pregnancy success…

BACKGROUND: Epidermal cysts are benign subcutaneous masses resulting from the implantation of epithelial cells, following trauma or surgery. Giant spontaneous epidermal cysts of the labia minora are rare. To date, only 3 cases of epidermal …
