The global prevalence of obesity continues to rise, posing a threat to health, especially among women, where obesity can lead to reproductive endocrine disorders. Adipose tissue interacts with endocrine hormones, including insulin, leptin, …

BACKGROUND: Tubal ectopic pregnancy (TEP) is a common and serious obstetric complication with unclear pathogenesis. This study aims to use single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze immune cell composition and functional changes in i…

We depict a unique case of a 39-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with complaints of right upper quadrant pain. Work-up and a computed tomography (CT) scan revealed acute cholecystitis and the patient underwent laparo…

BACKGROUND: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is clinically characterized by a decrease in the number of available ovarian follicles and a decline in the quality of oocytes, accompanied by hormonal changes. Low quality of DOR oocyte leads to…

BACKGROUND: In the past quite a long time, intraoperative cholangiography(IOC)was necessary during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Now magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is the main method for diagnosing common bile duct …

PURPOSE: This study aims to create and validate a clinical model that predict the probability of blastocyst formation in IVF/ICSI-ET cycles. METHODS: This study employed a retrospective methodology, gathering data from 4961 cleavage-stage …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common condition with a rare malignant potential. We report a case of a patient with a colon mass who underwent surgery for malignant endometriosis associated cancer.Case: A 70-year-old woman with a pelvic mas…

BACKGROUND: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) involves pelvic organ herniation into the vagina due to pelvic floor tissue laxity, and vaginal structure is an essential factor. In POP, the vaginal walls exhibit abnormal collagen distribution and d…

Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of non-apoptotic cell programmed death, characterized by the disturbance of iron metabolism, accumulation of lipid peroxides and disruption of cellular antioxidant system. Ferroptosis induces oxidative …

Accumulating oxidative damage is a primary driver of ovarian reserve decline along with aging. However, the mechanism behind the imbalance in reactive oxygen species (ROS) is not yet fully understood. Here we investigated changes in iron me…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a major cause of infertility, but the pathogenesis and mechanisms are not yet fully elucidated. MiR-19b-3p is involved in many diseases, but its functional role in EM-associated infertility remains unexplor…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine and metabolic disorder affecting 6-20% of women of childbearing age worldwide. Immune cell imbalance and dysregulation of inflammatory factors can lead to systematic low-grade chroni…

Thermochromic textiles possess the capability to indicate ambient temperature through color changes, enabling real-time temperature monitoring and providing temperature warnings for body heat management. In this study, three thermochromic d…

AIM: To construct and validate a computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics nomogram integrating radiomics signature and clinical factors to distinguish ovarian cystadenomas and endometriotic cysts. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 287 pati…

N6-metyladenosine (m6A), one of the most common RNA methylation modifications in mammals, has attracted extensive attentions owing to its regulatory roles in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. As a reversible epigenetic …

BACKGROUND: Retinal neovascularization (RNV) is a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory networks play vital roles in angiogenesis. The RNA-binding protein galectin…

Abstract Background: Endometriosis(EM) is a major cause of infertility, but the pathogenesis and mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. MiR-19b-3p is involved in many diseases, but its functional role in EM-associated infertility has no…

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) have evolved from exogenous retroviruses and account for approximately 8% of the human genome. A growing number of findings suggest that the abnormal expression of HERV genes is associated with schizoph…

ARID1A, encoding a subunit of the SWI/SNF complex, is mutated in ∼50% of clear cell ovarian carcinoma (OCCC) cases. Here we show that inhibition of the mevalonate pathway synergizes with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) by driving inflammas…

Most bowel endometriotic lesions are ill-defined serosal and subserosal nodules, and no case of cystic bowel endometriosis has been reported in the literature. This is the first report of an unexpected presentation of bowel endometriosis as…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of uterine septum resection on reproductive outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) / intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in patients with secondary infertility complicated with uterine septum. METHODS:…

BACKGROUND: To determine whether gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist downregulation combined with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can improve the reproductive outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles for older patients (…

OBJECTIVE: To measure the inspection depth of uterine lumen by transvaginal ultrasound and assess the association between the inspection depth and pregnancy outcomes in IVF-ET. METHODS: This prospective longitudinal cohort study was conduc…

INTRODUCTION: Patients with pulmonary sequestration (PS), a rare congenital lung malformation, are mostly asymptomatic. Recurrent localized infection is a major complication, while sudden hemothorax is extremely rare. We present a case of i…
