ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore the diagnosis and treatment of patients who have reached menarche but present with clinical manifestations of genital tract obstruction.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 72 patients with a…
BACKGROUND: The optimal surgical approach for reconstructing abdominal wall defects after radical resection of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) remains debated. This study aimed to compare the perioperative safety, recovery outcomes, and …
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by immune microenvironment dysregulation, with the IL-33/ST2L signaling axis playing a crucial role in macrophage polarization and disease progression. Despite growin…
Endometriosis (EMs) is a prevalent gynecological disorder affecting reproductive-age women. Exosomes secreted by peripheral blood macrophages may participate in EMs progression. In this pilot translational study, exosomes from peripheral bl…
We report a rare case of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome accompanied by simultaneous adenomyosis and leiomyoma in rudimentary uterine remnants. A 35-year-old woman presented with progressive lower abdominal pain and underwent…
Ovarian senescence is accompanied by inflammatory responses, yet the underlying mechanism remains incompletely elucidated. In this study, transcriptome sequencing was performed on ovarian granulosa cells from advanced-age patients and norma…
Phthalates (PAEs), typical endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that accumulate in the human body to induce reproductive toxicity, have epidemiological links to endometriosis (EM), but the underlying micro-mechanisms remain unclear. Ferrop…

BACKGROUND: The underlying mechanisms of symptom recurrence or established comprehensive predictive models have not yet elucidated. This study aimed to establish a prediction model for symptom recurrence following focused ultrasound ablatio…
Infertility represents a significant global health burden, necessitating advanced therapeutic interventions. While Assisted Reproductive Technologies have revolutionized fertility treatment, they remain constrained by limited efficacy, off-…
Endometriosis (EMs) features ectopic implantation of endometrial stromal cells (EESCs) and strong anoikis resistance, yet how inflammatory signals reprogram mitochondrial function remains unclear. Here, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)…
Uterine infertility is a substantial global health challenge, imposing profound physical and emotional burdens on affected individuals, with endometrial injury being a key contributing factor. In this study, we report that platelet-derived …
Endometrioid carcinoma is one of the most prevalent malignant neoplasms in gynecology, in contrast to perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa), a rare stromal tumor, which is seldom encountered in the female genital system. The coexiste…
BackgroundThe copper intrauterine device (Cu-IUD) is a widely used long-term contraceptive method. However, whether prior Cu-IUD use, including long-term exposure, affects reproductive and neonatal outcomes after assisted reproductive techn…
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a neuropeptide, has been implicated in autoimmune diseases, endometriosis, tumors, and primary headaches, including migraine. The development of a novel, fast-acting CGRP receptor antagonist administe…
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…
Massive abdominal wall defects resulting from radical abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) resection present a major reconstructive challenge. This study aims to assess feasibility and short-term safety of a standardized retromuscular-onlay d…
Endometriosis is a benign yet invasive disease characterized by ectopic endometrial growth and immune remodeling. While emerging evidence implicates cellular senescence in disease progression, the underlying mechanisms remain largely undefi…
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…
BackgroundDisrupted sleep and shift work are linked to multiple adverse health outcomes, but their association with reproductive endocrine disorders (REDs) and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Understanding this relationship is crucial…
To evaluate the effectiveness of subendometrial autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections in improving endometrial thickness (EMT) and pregnancy outcomes in women with refractory thin endometrium. This prospective, single-arm, self-c…
BackgroundUnexplained recurrent implantation failure (URIF) represents a complex and challenging condition in reproductive medicine, while the role of non-criteria antiphospholipid syndrome antibodies in its pathogenesis remains unclear. As…
BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance (IR) is a key metabolic disturbance that adversely affects assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes. In women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), IR has been well documented to impair oocyte quality,…
Long non-coding RNA Urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 (UCA1) is a pivotal regulator in the progression of endometriosis (EMs), yet its mechanistic role remains elusive. This study identified UCA1 as a factor promoting glycolysis through bio…
BackgroundTraditional research on the female reproductive tract (FRT) microbiome has focused on the dominance of bacteria, particularly Lactobacillus, as a marker of health. This bacteriocentric paradigm, however, cannot fully explain clini…
