Epidemiological inconsistencies currently obscure the causal link between polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and breast cancer. This review synthesizes multi-disciplinary evidence to characterize PCBs not as passive exposure correlates but as…

BACKGROUND: To evaluate whether progesterone-induced changes in endometrial thickness (EMT) affect singleton infant outcomes during frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. METHODS: This retrospective study analyzed 6,331 singleton live…

BACKGROUND: Environmental exposure to trace and heavy metals may influence female fertility, yet their impact on assisted reproductive outcomes remains poorly defined. Maternal diet can potentially modulate metal-related toxicity by influen…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disorder. Cholesterol (CHO) has been reported to be closely associated with estrogen synthesis and inflammatory responses. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying the effects of ch…

Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disorder with incompletely understood pathogenesis. Through single-cell RNA sequencing of adenomyosis tissues, we identified epithelial-endothelial transition (EET) as a key pathological mechanism and d…

BACKGROUND: The clinical efficacy of antioxidants in assisted reproductive technology (ART) remains inconsistent. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of oral antioxidant supplementation on reproductive outc…

Poly(lactic acid-lactic acid) (PLGA) has demonstrated significant application potential in tumor-targeted drug delivery systems due to its excellent biocompatibility, degradability, and multifunctionality for loading various therapeutic age…

Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX1) has been reported to play a role in human granulosa cell (GC) dysfunction by binding with long noncoding RNAs in patients with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). 5-Methylcytosine (m5C) methylation is an abun…

PURPOSE: To establish a diagnostic model combining contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), and Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data Systems (O-RADS) US v2022, verify its diagnostic efficacy, and compare it with …

OBJECTIVE: To identify the key factors associated with biochemical pregnancy loss (BPL) following single blastocyst transfer in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles utilizing hormone replacement therapy (HRT). METHODS: This retrospective co…

PURPOSE: ARID1A, encoding a component of the switch/sucrose nonfermentable complex, is frequently mutated in urothelial carcinoma. However, its specific impacts on clinical outcomes and CD8+ T-cell functions in urothelial carcinoma remain p…

BACKGROUND: Uterus ageing is a crucial factor contributing to decreased fertility in older women and is also implicated in menstrual disorders, endometritis, and adenomyosis. Bushen Jianpi Tiaoxue Decoction (BJTD) is a traditional Chinese m…

OBJECTIVE: To identify clinical characteristics and risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes after clinical pregnancy following laparoscopic tubal anastomosis (LTA). METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 253 patients undergoing LTA (May 20…

BACKGROUND: Purinergic P2 receptors, which can be divided into ionotropic P2X receptors and metabotropic P2Y receptors, mediate cellular signal transduction of purine or pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphates and diphosphate. Based on the wide…

To analyze and evaluate the correlation between different lipid metabolism levels and endometriosis. The literatures on lipid metabolism and endometriosis published in databases were searched and collected. The search was conducted up to De…

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Dan'e fukang decoction (DFD) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula. DFD obtains 10 herbs, including Salvia yunnanensis C.H.Wright (Zidanshen), Curcuma zedoaria (Christm.) Roscoe (Ezhu), Angelica sinensis …

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…

OBJECTIVE: Accurately predicting metastatic cancer to the adnexa, stage I and advanced ovarian cancer before surgery is crucial. The ADNEX model, based on ultrasound, is currently the only prediction model that can differentiate between the…

CAPSULE: The gestational age at fetal reduction had no effect on pregnancy outcome when reduction was performed before 17 + 4 weeks. After 17 + 4 weeks, the later the fetal reduction was done, the earlier the delivery and lower the birthwei…

OBJECTIVES: The objective of study was to compare the effects of pelvic myofascial trigger point release and structured pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in patients with female sexual dysfunction after vaginal delivery. PATIENTS AND MET…

INTRODUCTION: Thin endometrium poses a major therapeutic challenge in assisted reproductive technologies by compromising pregnancy success and live birth outcomes. A substantial proportion of patients remain refractory to existing therapies…

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of intraoperative low-dose esketamine administered at anesthesia induction on postoperative quality of recovery in total laparoscopic hysterectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: One-hundred six female patients sc…

BACKGROUND: An increasing number of studies have reported noteworthy health risks associated with dermal exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from feminine hygiene products (FHPs). OBJECTIVES: This study sought to address the gap …

Aberrant endometrial collagen I deposition during the implantation window impairs endometrial stromal cell (ESC) decidualization, which may contribute to lower pregnancy rate in endometriosis (EMs) patients with in vitro fertilization (IVF)…
