BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disease that lacks reliable noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers. This study was aimed at evaluating the diagnostic value of PAX8 using integrated transcriptomic and machine learn…

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by substantial inter-individual variability in ovarian sensitivity to recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone (rFSH) during controlled ovarian stimulation (COS). Clinically appl…

BACKGROUND: Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is a common functional disorder following total hysterectomy. Currently, the assessment mainly relies on manual measurements of transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) images, which suffers from low effici…

BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) frequently manifest sleep disturbances and psychological morbidity. This study examined associations between cerebral activation patterns, sleep quality, and psychologic…

Endometriosis is a common, estrogen-driven chronic gynecologic disorder defined by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue within the peritoneal cavity. Existing treatment options, primarily surgery and hormonal therapy, are limited b…

Digital symptom checkers (SCs) are increasingly used to support early symptom recognition and care-seeking, yet evidence on their cost-effectiveness remains limited. We conducted an economic evaluation of a digital SC for endometriosis, a p…

OBJECTIVE: To 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 …

This study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying luteolin's therapeutic effects on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis (EM), thereby providing a theoretical foundation for developing novel treatment strategies…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the feasibility of quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) and R2* mapping in assessing iron deposition in endometriotic ovarian cysts (EMO) and their potential implications for ovarian reserve. MATERIALS AND METH…

Ovarian aging, marked by a progressive diminution of oocyte quality and quantity, is a major contributor to declining female fertility and age-related reproductive disorders. However, transcript-level changes underlying this process remain …

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis, an estrogen-dependent condition characterized by endometrial invasion into the myometrium, is associated with reduced live birth rates and increased miscarriage risk in women undergoing assisted reproductive technol…

BACKGROUND: The specific gut microbial signatures and their correlation with immune-inflammatory markers in infertile women with endometriosis remain underexplored.To investigate the differences in gut microbiota and their associations with…

When exploring the macro trend of declining global fertility rates, a pathological factor often hidden beneath individual suffering cannot be ignored: pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Recurrent inflammation leads to tissue damage, adhesio…

Despite ongoing challenges in developing effective non-surgical and non-hormonal treatments for endometriosis, the psychological manifestations of the disease-particularly anxiety-remain comparatively underexplored. In this study, a hydroge…

BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, we noticed that a large group of young female patients diagnosed with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) suffer from hip/groin pain in daily lives and particularly during menstruation. However, it…

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…

Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder affecting up to 10% of women of reproductive age, and the absence of reliable noninvasive diagnostic tools contributes to delayed diagnosis and disease progression. To identify potentia…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. There is a lack of effective biomarkers for early detection and revealing mechanisms of endometriosis. CSNK2A1 is a compositionally activ…

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…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of reproductive-age women, with a diagnostic delay of 7-10 years. Despite clinical heterogeneity, current rASRM staging poorly predicts treatment outcomes. Molecular subtyping may reveal b…

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…

Metabolic determinants of oocyte quality and embryonic development remain incompletely understood. Here, we profiled metabolites in human cumulus cells (CCs) and follicular fluid (FF), validated in two mouse models, and integrated transcrip…

BACKGROUND: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is performed in over half of assisted reproductive technology cycles globally; however, the optimal interval between oocyte denudation and sperm injection remains undefined in clinical gui…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of different COH protocols on pregnancy outcomes in adenomyosis patients. STUDY DESIGN: A real-world retrospective cohort study analyzed 1486 IVF-ET cycles in adenomyosis patients who received COH regimen…
