BACKGROUND: Impaired decidualization is a major cause of infertility in patients with adenomyosis (AM). However, the effect of transcription factor 21 (TCF21) on AM and the underlying mechanism of associated-impaired decidualization remain …
BACKGROUND: To assess and compare the efficiency and outcomes between prone split-leg position and lithotomy position in posterior uterine myomectomy by transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES). METHODS: 33 pat…
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic growth and proliferation of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, leading to inflammation. Although low‑dose contraceptive pills are widely used for its…
RATIONALE: The incidence of intra-abdominal hernia is very low, ranging from 0.2% to 0.9% in autopsy cases and 0.5% to 4.1% in cases of intestinal obstruction. Broad ligament hernia accounts for 4% to 7% of all cases of intra-abdominal hern…
BACKGROUND: Female reproductive diseases-including endometriosis (EMs), uterine fibroids (UFs), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), eclampsia, ectopic pregnancy (EP), infertility, miscarriage, and ovarian …
The lack of accurate understanding of cellular physiology and pathophysiology during the WOI constitutes the major obstacle to correct diagnosis and treatment for patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). The role of cilia as one …
Ovarian-adnexal lesions are conventionally assessed with ultrasound (US) under the guidance of the Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS). However, the low specificity of O-RADS results in many unnecessary surgeries. Here, we us…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a benign gynecological disease characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Evidence shows that the survival of patients with ectopic endometrial implants is associated with a dysregul…
BACKGROUND: To quantitatively analyse the contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) parameters of endometrial lesions and explore the differences in CEUS parameters between benign and malignant endometrial lesions. METHODS: The study enrolled 31…
Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), the most prevalent plasticizer worldwide, can enter the human body via various exposure pathways, including ingestion, inhalation, skin contact, and medical applications. It has been observed to exhibit ch…
Abstract Uterine peristalsis involves spontaneous, mild contractions of the sub-endometrial layer in the nonpregnant uterus, playing a crucial role in menstruation and fertility. Disruptions in peristaltic patterns have been linked to cond…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the perioperative outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) and dual-port laparoscopic myomectomy in patients with solitary uterine fibroids. METHODS: This retrospective observational st…
With the development of public health, female diseases have become the focus of current concern. The unique reproductive anatomy of women leads to the development of gynecological diseases gradually become an important part of the socio-eco…
The unique physiological structure of women has led to a variety of diseases that have attracted the attention of many people in recent years. Disturbances in the reproductive system microenvironment lead to the progression of various femal…
OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcomes of hysterectomy performed via traditional inpatient procedure versus day-care procedure with a focus on surgical time, post-operative recovery, costs, and patient satisfaction, using propensity score match…
We report the findings of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of endometriosis across 14 biobanks worldwide, including 32% non-European patient participants, as part of the Global Biobank Meta-Analysis Initiative (GBMI). Ou…
Formononetin (FMN) is a common natural metabolite that can be extracted and isolated from some common botanical drugs. In recent years, FMN has garnered increasing attention due to its beneficial biological activities. In this paper, we sys…
BACKGROUND: Gasless transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (G-vNOTES) can avoid complications related to pneumoperitoneum, but there is limited research on G-vNOTES. Here, we aimed to compare the hemodynamic profiles a…
BACKGROUND: Infertility is a burdensome, often overlooked condition. This study aimed to investigate the global distribution and trends in the burden of infertility from 1990 to 2021. METHODS: We obtained data on the prevalence and years l…

PURPOSE: Ovarian endometriosis, a prevalent condition in reproductive-age women, causes dysmenorrhea and infertility, significantly impairing quality of life. To date, there is no systematic description of ovarian endometriosis in the liter…
Abstract Introduction Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder characterized by immune dysregulation. This condition profoundly affects the quality of life and reproductive health of nearly 200 million women of rep…
BACKGROUND: Chat-Generative Pretrained Transformer (ChatGPT) has proven its value in medical information acquisition and perioperative education. This study aimed to evaluate correlated factors to explore the value of ChatGPT in patient com…
Endometriosis (EM) significantly impacts the quality of life, and its diagnosis currently relies on surgery, which carries risks and may miss early lesions. Noninvasive biomarkers are urgently needed for early diagnosis and personalized tre…
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) significantly impacts patients' quality of life, and current treatment options remain limited due to high recurrence rates, making the exploration of new therapeutic targets essential. Using data from the FinnGen…
