BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a systemic gynecological disorder affecting ~ 10% of reproductive-aged women and shares pathophysiological features with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, its associations with cardiac remodeling and CVD ri…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the compatibility rules of acupoint selection in acupuncture treatment for infertility using data mining techniques. METHODS: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs)on acupuncture treatment for infertilit…

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…

Endometriosis is characterised by the growth of abnormal endometrial tissue outside the uterus and chronic inflammation. Increasing evidence suggests that placenta extracellular vesicles (EVs) inhibit the growth and migration of ovarian and…

OBJECTIVE: Up to 1.6% of patients with endometriosis develop epithelial ovarian carcinoma. The genetic overlap between endometriosis and ovarian cancer has not been fully characterized. This review aims to describe the current literature on…

Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies globally, with significant variations in incidence, prevalence, and outcomes across regions and population subgroups. This study systematically evaluates the global, region…

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…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissues. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification regulates diverse cellular processes, yet its role in EMs remains unclear. Here, we sho…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent disease that can lead to chronic pain and infertility. Small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO)ylation, a key post-translational modification, has been demonstrated to be associated wi…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis (AM) is described as a benign invasion of the endometrium into the myometrium, which impacts a large number of childbearing age women. The diagnosis of AM relies on imaging and histological examinations. Although car…

OBJECTIVE: To identify factors associated with clinical pregnancy and live birth in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles among women with adenomyosis and to develop internally validated prediction models using readily available clinical, lab…

PROBLEMS: To investigate the impact of anti-endometrial antibodies (EMAb) on pregnancy outcomes in infertile patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) and to assess the potential value of personalized treatment strategies. METHOD OF…

BACKGROUND: In vitro maturation (IVM) presents a potential alternative to conventional IVF for special subgroups of infertile couples. Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is widely regarded as the most robust biomarker for assessing ovarian reserv…

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…

SIGNIFICANCE: Ureteral injuries represent a major concern during a range of surgical procedures, due to the proximity of the ureter to target surgical structures. Intraoperative identification of the ureter is critical to prevent this accid…

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a) often induce menopausal symptoms, negatively affecting women's psychological, emotional, and physical health. Kuntai capsule is widely used in clinical practic…

Endometriosis, a prevalent gynecological disease affecting women's health, involves altered immune function. This study investigates the immune checkpoint protein, V-domain immunoglobulin suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) as a therape…

Uterine mechanical properties, particularly tissue stiffness, are dynamically regulated during the embryo implantation window to ensure optimal mechanocompatibility. However, maternal aging and fibrotic pathologies, such as adenomyosis and …

The present study investigated the role of melatonin (MT) in regulating mitochondrial function via sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) in granulosa cells (GCs) from patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), with a focus on mitochondrial protection. Not…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder characterized by reproductive and metabolic disturbances, which causes a chronic lack of ovulation that leads to increased incidence of atypical endometrial hyperplasia and …

Recent studies have highlighted the crucial role of mechanical properties in the ovarian microenvironment for ovarian function. However, the mechanisms that cause ovarian matrix stiffening during aging remain incompletely understood. Here w…

BACKGROUND: Endometrial receptivity (ER) serves as a critical determinant for successful embryo implantation, yet its molecular complexity and limited clinical assessment methods pose significant challenges. Despite advancements in assisted…

BACKGROUND: Immune tolerance breakdown at the maternal-fetal interface is implicated in unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (URPL), but the interplay between T cell hyperactivation and dendritic cells (DCs)-mediated signaling remains poorl…

BACKGROUND: The impact of changes in estradiol (E2) levels prior to human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) administration during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) on pregnancy and live birth outcomes remains poorly understood. OBJECTIV…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a leading cause of anovulatory infertility. Despite a high antral follicle count, advanced-age PCOS patients experience a marked decline in cumulative live birth rates (CLBR) after assisted re…
