Oocyte/embryo defects can result in oocyte maturation arrest, fertilization failure, embryonic arrest, and infertility as well as recurrent in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) failures. However, the genet…
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to explore shared genetic architectures and potential causal associations between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and gynecological diseases, including ovarian cysts (OC), pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and endometr…
OBJECT: To evaluate the association between hysterectomy and the risk of developing urinary incontinence (UI) based on observational studies. METHODS: We conducted a systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library for observation…
BACKGROUND: Expulsion of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) limits its effectiveness in adenomyosis management, particularly in patients with anatomical risk factors. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and sh…
OBJECTIVE: To identify and characterize distinct types of authoritative cardiology-related key opinion leaders (ACKOLs) on Xiaohongshu and examine their communication characteristics and engagement patterns. METHODS: A social media profili…
OBJECTIVES: Adenomyosis severely impairs fertility and quality of life. This study investigated the pathophysiologic role of cell division cycle 42 (CDC42) in adenomyosis by profiling its expression, identifying its binding partners, and pe…
In the whole laying cycle, the late laying phase is the longest segment, and it directly determines total egg production and influences the timing of culling. To investigate the mechanisms underlying the decline in egg-laying performance du…
BACKGROUND: Cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) exhibits profound spatial heterogeneity in evolutionary trajectories across distinct tumour foci, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. METHODS: In this study, we perfor…
Intestinal immunosenescence, a hallmark of organismal aging, has emerged as a critical biological process impacting the health of elderly individuals. This review systematically examines the core mechanisms underlying intestinal immunosenes…
Blood-based liquid biopsies hold transformative potential for non-invasive cancer management, but current approaches relying on rare circulating tumor components limit their broad clinical utility. Platelets, abundant in blood and mediating…
BACKGROUND: Predicting in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy outcomes is crucial for individualized decision-making. However, due to complex interactions among multiple factors, accurate manual integration and assessment are challenging. T…
The clinical management of endometriosis encounters a significant obstacle: existing therapies inadequately address both the inhibition of ectopic lesion proliferation and the mitigation of the neuroinflammation associated with chronic pain…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is a major female reproductive health issue with heterogeneous biological features on its subtypes, which may require different therapeutic strategies. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists were repor…
BACKGROUND: Oocyte aneuploidy is a major cause of pregnancy failure in women of advanced maternal age (AMA), and current assisted reproductive technologies offer limited effective strategies to prevent age-related decline in oocyte quality.…
BACKGROUND: Elevated maternal body mass index (BMI) increases miscarriage risk in assisted reproductive technology, but it is unclear whether this risk differs between singleton and twin pregnancies. Twin gestations impose greater metabolic…
BACKGROUND: Nerve growth factor (NGF), which acts on receptors tropomyosin receptor kinase A and p75 neurotrophic receptor, is a member of neurotrophin family and a kind of secretory polypeptides. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search…
Preoperative misdiagnosis and the adoption of incorrect surgical approaches occur frequently in patients with endometrial stromal tumors (ESTs) because of their rarity, nonspecific clinical manifestations, and imaging features that highly o…
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a prevalent condition that significantly impairs women's quality of life and is closely linked to dysregulated estrogen signaling. This review examines the mechanisms through which estrogen, acting via nuclear…
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by pain, infertility and recurrence. Current pharmacological management relies largely on hormonal suppression, which can reduce pain and disease activity but does not eradicate …
OBJECTIVES: Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) is an uncommon vascular disease, characterized by anatomical compression of the left renal vein (LRV). Associated symptoms include flank and pelvic pain, as well as hematuria and varicocele. Our objecti…
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are a class of chemical substances with environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, and high toxicity, which are widely present in the environment and food chains. Prostate cancer (PCa) is a highly preva…
Clinical application of mesenchymal stem cells for endometrial repair has been hampered by variability in cell quality, large-scale production, and uncertainty regarding the optimal delivery route. In this study, we investigated the therape…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease, and its pathogenesis remains unclear. Although the placenta is an organ with tumor-like characteristics, its development, including its invasive function…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to analyze pregnancy outcomes among patients diagnosed with first-trimester decidual polyps (DPs) following fresh embryo transfer who underwent expectant management and to further explore risk fac…
Adenomyosis (AM) commonly affects women of reproductive age and can impair female fertility, yet its diagnosis and pathogenesis remain challenging. We compared serum IgG1 Fc‑glycosylation profiles between AM patients (n = 30) and non‑AM con…
