Exosomes, as key mediators of intercellular communication, play a central regulatory role in cellular physiological and pathological processes through their dynamic interaction with the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is a dynamic network co…
BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is closely associated with systemic low-grade inflammation, yet evidence regarding erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), a cost-effective and stable inflammatory marker, in reproductive-aged wome…
OBJECTIVE: To identify clinicopathologic predictors of concurrent endometrial carcinoma (EC) and need for lymph node assessment at time of hysterectomy for atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) in a minority-enriched population. METHODS: …
Ovarian endometriosis (OvE) is a gynecological disorder with endometrial tissue in the ovaries, for which effective non-invasive diagnosis and curative treatments are currently lacking. Serum samples were collected from both discovery and v…
Lysine lactylation (Kla) is a novel form of post-translational modification. It utilizes lactate as its core substrate. Through an enzymatic regulatory network, it mediates modifications of both histones and non-histone proteins. This modif…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis (EMs) is increasingly recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease in which innate immune dysregulation plays an important role. Its immunopathological features include macrophage polarization imbalance, with M1-…
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to compare the effects of the progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol and gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-A) protocol in women with different ovarian reserves who underwent assisted reproduct…
BACKGROUND: Spontaneous heterotopic pregnancy is an uncommon and possibly serious problem characterized by maternities at unique implantation sites, with only one occurring in the intrauterine cavity. Its incidence is approximately 1 in 30,…
BACKGROUND: Obesity has been linked to chronic inflammation and insulin resistance and oxidative stress, which are all associated with the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMs). This study aimed to investigate the associations between the eme…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (PDT) for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions of the cervix associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. METHODS: In this study, 1…
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that due to the presence of endometrium progesterone resistance in patients with endometriosis, it is considered that higher levels of progesterone may be required to achieve live birth during program…
OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors influencing clinical pregnancy outcomes in infertile men undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (lCSl) and to establish and validate a nomogram prediction model. METHODS: A total of 1,037 infertile …
Adenomyosis remains a challenging gynecological disorder to investigate due to the absence of in vitro models that accurately replicate endometrial tissue dynamics across the menstrual cycle. To address this gap, we established an endometri…
Uterine fibroids are common among women of reproductive age and often recur after treatment. Accurate recurrence prediction is essential for guiding clinical decisions, yet existing models remain inadequate. This study aimed to develop a no…
Endometriosis, a complex gynecological disorder characterized by aberrant growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, poses a significant challenge to women's health. Emerging evidence implicates environmental pollutants, parti…
OBJECTIVES: Whether diverse metabolic statuses within a similar body mass index (BMI) category associate with different in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Wenzhou, Zhengjiang Province, Ch…
AIMS: The present study aimed to examine the roles of circRNA-circSMAD2 and its regulatory mechanisms in endometriosis (EMs). BACKGROUND: Evidence has confirmed that circRNAs play multiple roles in regulating the occurrence and development…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic gynecological disorder that affects 5% to 10% of women of childbearing age, often causing pelvic pain and infertility. Fibrosis is a hallmark of EM progression, yet its underlying molecular driver…
Sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease (SPID), such as chronic pelvic pain and infertility, are major long-term complications that significantly harm women's health. N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most common internal mRNA modification in e…
AIM: Infertility is a growing global health issue affecting millions worldwide. While endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and unexplained infertility are recognized as the major contributors, their specific burden and impact o…
INTRODUCTION: Optimal luteal phase support (LPS) is essential for successful embryo transfer. In our previous study, we found that LPS combined with Gushen Antai pill (GSATP) could significantly improve ongoing pregnancy rate (OPR) and redu…
Endometriosis (EMs) is a common inflammatory disorder in women of reproductive age, severely impacting patients' quality of life and fertility. Current hormonal therapies offer limited efficacy, and surgical interventions often fail to prev…
BACKGROUND: Our purpose is to explore the influence of Hua Yu Xiao Zheng (HYXZ) decoction on the senescence of ectopic endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) in endometriosis as well as its relevant mechanisms. METHODS: The proliferation, apopto…
BACKGROUND: The prognosis of patients with gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis (GCPM) is exceedingly poor. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with paclitaxel combined with…
INTRODUCTION: Effective ovarian stimulation and luteal phase support (LPS) are key factors for the success of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) The present multicenter randomized trial evaluates whether adding Gushen Antai…
