Primary infertility affects 15% of couples worldwide, yet many genetic causes remain unknown. Through whole-exome sequencing of a woman with primary infertility and repeated embryo implantation failure, we identified a novel homozygous fram…
This case report demonstrates the enhanced visualization capabilities of FAPI in visualizing deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesions compared to ultrasonography and MRI, suggesting its potential as a powerful diagnostic tool in the fu…
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been previously associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the health effects of emerging PFAS alternatives on PCOS remain unclear. This study aims to examine the associations …
BACKGROUND: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) impose significant clinical and economic burdens on healthcare systems globally. Patients in obstetrics and gynecology face unique vulnerabilities; however, population-specif…
OBJECTIVE: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy is increasingly used in the management of various solid tumors. However, limited data are available regarding the association between HIFU treatment and coagulation function. MATE…

OBJECTIVES: To compare the differences in clinical characteristics between different types of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) according to the invasive levels of tissue mass. METHODS: 122 patients, who had undergone resection of AWE les…
ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of Xiaonang Yusi decoction (XNYSD, ) in patients with phlegm-dampness type polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET), and to investigate its un…
Endometriosis diagnosis is often limited by the resolution of conventional imaging techniques (ultrasound/non-targeted MRI) as well as the invasiveness and recurrence risks associated with laparoscopy. To overcome these challenges, we devel…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a common gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic endometrial tissue growth, leading to chronic inflammation and pelvic pain. Despite its high prevalence, the molecular mechanisms underlying EMs rem…
BackgroundVaricocele represents the most prevalent amendable factor contributing to male infertility. Despite this, considerable debate continues concerning the effectiveness of surgical intervention, especially in terms of enhancing pregna…
ObjectiveBy using the propensity score matching (PSM) method, this study compared the pregnancy outcomes of two ovulation induction regimens, clomiphene citrate (CC) and letrozole (LE), in intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles. It aimed to…
Despite the importance of inflammation to menstruation, we lack detailed understanding of how immune dynamics contribute to endometrial repair. We performed detailed phenotypic characterisation of uterine immune cells using single cell RNA …
Background and objectivePoly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) have fundamentally changed the treatment paradigm for patients with ovarian cancer, especially in tumors with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). However, acquir…
Endometriosis (EMs) is an estrogen-dependent, chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by immune microenvironment dysregulation, a critical factor in its pathogenesis. Despite existing therapies, limitations persist, highlighting the urg…
Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) is a rare subtype of ovarian cancer arising from the malignant transformation of endometriosis (EMS). Despite growing clinical awareness, its underlying pathogenic mechanisms are not fully unde…
BackgroundThis study aimed to compare reproductive and obstetric outcomes between frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles using letrozole combined with human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) for ovulation induction (OI) and hormone replacement the…
BACKGROUND: Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an ultra-rare (prevalence ~ 1:2 million), devastating genetic disorder characterized by progressive heterotopic ossification. Crucially, surgical trauma is a potent trigger for cata…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) exacerbated by obesity represents a complex intersection of endocrine and immune dysregulation, significantly impairing reproductive and metabolic health. This characterizes the immune-inflammatory landscape…
ObjectiveTo investigate the interaction effects of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), antral follicle count (AFC), basal follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and endometrial thickness on the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART).Meth…
Ovarian endometriosis (OEM) is characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue growth within the ovary. In these ectopic lesions, the ectopic epithelium plays a crucial role in OEM progression and has been associated with malignant transformati…
Neferine is a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid derived from the seed embryo of Nelumbo nucifera, a traditional Chinese medicine. It has been extensively studied for its therapeutic potential in various disease models. Extensive research has h…
Endometrial immune disorders create an inhospitable endometrial environment for embryonic nidation in endometriosis. CD8 + tissue resident memory T cells (CD8 +TRM) are abundant tissue resident immune cells in endometrium, but the effect of…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a benign disease characterized by the invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into the uterine myometrium, commonly presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding. METHODS: This paper retrospectively analyzes three …
