INTRODUCTION: This report details a case of Type I oblique vaginal septum syndrome (OVSS), highlighting its complexity as a congenital uterine malformation. CASE PRESENTATION: A 12-year-old girl presented with severe lower abdominal pain c…

OBJECTIVE: To exploit the combination diagnostic performance of serum microRNA-134-5p (miR-134-5p) and color Doppler ultrasound in patients with endometriosis patients. METHODS: Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) an…

Endometrial collagen I undergoes dynamic degradation and remodelling in response to endometrial stromal cell (ESC) decidualization and embryo implantation. However, excessive collagen I deposition in the endometrium during the implantation …

BACKGROUND: Pelvic floor myofascial pain is one of the pelvic floor dysfunction diseases disturbing women after delivery. There is a lack of objective standardization for the diagnosis of pelvic floor myofascial pain due to the various symp…

Background: Radiation-induced lung fibrosis (RILF) is a life-threatening complication of thoracic radiotherapy. Ferroptosis, a recently discovered type of cell death, is believed to contribute to RILF, though the associated mechanisms are u…

IN BRIEF: Abnormal glucose metabolism may be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The present study identifies that highly expressed H19 leads to increased aerobic glycolysis and histone lactylation levels in endometriosis. ABSTR…

The incidence of multiple pronuclei (≥ 3PN) zygotes and blastomere multinucleation was found to be elevated in the presence of increased estradiol (E2) levels and a greater number of retrieved oocytes. This implies a potential link between …

Chitinase-3-like-1 (Chi3l1), also known as YKL-40 or BRP-39, is a highly conserved mammalian chitinase with a chitin-binding ability but no chitinase enzymatic activity. Chi3l1 is secreted by various cell types and induced by several inflam…

OBJECTIVES: The annual prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is increasing, and the lack of effective treatments imposes a substantial burden on both patients and society. The formation of nasal polyps in patients with CRS is closely r…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC), well known for its chemoresistance to platinum-based chemotherapy, exhibited a good response in clinical trials of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. By assessing PD-L1 expression, we sought to dete…

This research has suggested a link between major depressive disorder (MDD) and infertility, with interleukin-18 (IL-18) being proposed as a potential mediator due to its connections to both conditions. A Mendelian randomization (MR) approac…

PURPOSE: Estradiol valerate (Progynova®) is used as hormone therapy to supplement estrogen deficiency. This study aimed to assess the bioequivalence of an estradiol valerate tablet and its generic form, under fasting and fed conditions. ME…

BACKGROUND: Investigating the relationship between cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) pathway-related factors and clinical features in patients with adenomyosis by proteomics could provide potential therapeutic targets. METHODS: This study recruited…

Menopausal syndrome, occurring during the menopausal stage in women, manifests as symptoms stemming from decreased estrogen levels, such as hot flashes, insomnia, mental disorders (anxiety, depression), and osteoporosis. The bulk of studies…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of combining gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) downregulation with hormone replacement therapy (HRT, GnRHa-HRT) on the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer…

OBJECTIVES: Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is a crucial inflammatory factor that functions as an alarm signal in endometriosis (EMs). Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process related to inflammatory signals, intracellular reactive oxygen …

Vitamin D3 plays a crucial role in female reproduction. As research progresses, the mechanisms of action of vitamin D3 on follicular development have been widely discussed. Firstly, key enzymes involved in the synthesis and metabolism of vi…

BACKGROUND: Laser-assisted hatching (LAH) stands as the predominant technique for removing the zona pellucida (ZP) in embryos, primarily consisting of two methods: drilling laser-assisted hatching (D-LAH) and thinning laser-assisted hatchin…

Endometrial cancer (EC), one of the most common gynecologic malignancies worldwide, poses a significant burden particularly among young women, with poor treatment outcomes and prognosis for advanced and recurrent patients. Epigenetic change…

STUDY QUESTION: To 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 reprod…

BACKGROUND: T-box transcription factor 3(TBX3) is a transcription factor that can regulate cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and migration in different tumor cells; however, its role in adenomyosis (ADM) has not been previously studi…

Abstract Background TBX3 is a transcription factor that can regulate cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and migration in different tumor cells; however, its role in adenomyosis (ADM) has not been previously studied. Some of ADM’s path…

BACKGROUND: Abdominal pregnancy, a rare form of ectopic pregnancy, is associated with high morbidity and adverse consequences for future fertility. Early recognition and management reduce mortality and allow minimal invasive and conservativ…

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a multifactorial disease that seriously affects womens physical and mental health. With the advent of efficient contraception, the trend for women towards later maternity until their thirties or even …

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported that after laparoscopic cystectomy of ovarial endometrioma, the ovarian response to gonadotropin (Gn) significantly decreased. However, for patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) after ovar…
