Endometriosis (EM) affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and remains a prevalent estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder with limited therapeutic efficacy and high recurrence rates. Ferroptosis-an iron-dependent, non-apop…

PURPOSE: Endometriosis is increasingly recognized as a condition linked to metabolic health. The lipid accumulation product (LAP) index, a simple index reflecting lipid metabolism and hormonal imbalance, is widely used in assessing metaboli…

BACKGROUND: The clinical management of adenomyosis remains challenging. Pharmacological therapies and surgical approaches for adenomyosis have shown benefits but present important limitations, such as side effects, recurrence, and loss of f…

Following the initial treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), tumor progression often portends an adverse prognosis for these patients. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of tumor immunity, yet their intricate mecha…

OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a diagnostic nomogram model for predicting atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) and endometrial carcinoma (EC) in women aged 40-60 years with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), incorporating detailed bleed…

BACKGROUND Placenta accreta is a spectrum disorder that can include an abnormally adherent placenta to placental tissue that invades the endometrium and myometrium and results in hemorrhage during or after delivery. King's combined uterine …

BACKGROUND: To investigate the optimal periendometrial zone (PEZ) in ultrasound (US) images and assess the performance of ultrasound radiomics in predicting the outcome of frozen embryo transfer (FET). METHODS: This prospective study had 4…

BACKGROUND: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a condition identified by the decline in ovarian function before the age of 40. The treatment of POI patients deserves in-depth research. This study aimed to explore the impacts of probio…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition, typically associated with pelvic pain and menorrhagia, affecting 10% of women of reproductive age. Inflammation is known to contribute to pregnancy complications, including preterm birth. R…

BACKGROUND: To overcome the challenge of psychotherapist scarcity in applying pain psychotherapy in clinical practice, we developed a virtual reality (VR) program delivering weeks of pain psychotherapy without psychotherapists, with a focus…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by the growth of ectopic endometrial-like tissue and fibrosis. Metabolic reprogramming, particularly enhanced glycolysis, and immune microenvironment dysregulat…

INTRODUCTION: With ongoing global lifestyle changes and economic development, the prevalence of hyperuricemia has steadily increased. Elevated levels of serum uric acid (SUA) have been linked to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM); however,…

Advanced maternal age (AMA, ≥35 years) women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) face reduced live birth rates (LBR) and remain a major clinical challenge. In a large randomized trial, Zishen Yutai Pill (ZYP) improved LBR in t…

OBJECTIVE: To report the long-term re-intervention of patients with uterine fibroids after ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (USgHIFU) ablation and to analyse the influencing factors of re-intervention in patients in the N…

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is defined as the depletion of ovarian function before the age of 40 years. The global prevalence of POI is 3.5%. To date, genetic factors account for 23.5% of the etiology of POI. Herein, a previously …

AIMS: To assess the predictive value of estradiol (E2) related parameters on the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in women undergoing fresh embryo transfer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A Post-hoc analysis of a prospective cohort…

PURPOSE: To investigate perioperative risk factors that affect the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function in patients undergoing gynecological surgery and to establish a preoperative risk prediction scoring system. METHODS: In…

INTRODUCTION: This study investigated changes in plasma microbial-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and insulin resistance (PCOS-IR) before and after metformin treatment, and aimed to identify b…

BACKGROUND: Vitamin D binding protein (DBP) might increase substantially after ovarian stimulation and hence could be associated with IVF/ICSI outcomes because it determines the fraction of free bioavailable 25(OH) vitamin D. In this study,…

BACKGROUND: Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) is widely used as an embryo selection technique in in vitro fertilization (IVF), but its effectiveness and potential beneficiary populations are unclear. METHODS: This retr…

BACKGROUND: Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is a frequent acquired endometrial condition, for which there is no effective preventive or treatment. Previous studies have found that vaginal microbiota dysregulation is closely related to endometri…
