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…

Abstract Purpose This study explores the clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and optimal timing for surgery in primary labia minora fusion, a rare congenital vulvar malformation, emphasizing that appropriate surgical timing can redu…

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the role of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in corneal tissue repair in alkali burn and its underlying neuro-immune mechanisms.MethodsMouse corneal nerves were ablated via surgery or resiniferato…

BackgroundsThe preoperative differentiation of borderline ovarian epithelial tumors (BOETs) remains challenging. While systemic inflammatory markers such as the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and m…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic enigmatic gynecological disorder which pathogenesis have not been fully elucidated. Exosomes have been proven to participate in endometriosis. However, the role of exosomes in the pathogenesis of…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease with high recurrence rates after surgery and the lesions keep unlimited proliferative capacity. The effect of garcinol on cell proliferation has not been investigated in endometriosis. Herein,…

BackgroundGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a significant complication during pregnancy with varying prevalence across countries and ethnicities. In Taiwan, although GDM prevalence rose from 7.6% to 13.4% between 2004 and 2015, its mat…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disorder characterised by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, which can lead to clinical symptoms such as chronic inflammation, pelvic pain, and infertility. Aberrant cellular …

BACKGROUND: Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in women, and in recent years, the role of gut microbiota in tumorigenesis has gradually gained attention. Previous studies have shown that the gut microbiome is…

ObjectivesThis study aimed to develop a multimodal predictive model that integrates clinical data, radiomics, and three-dimensional deep learning to forecast acute respiratory distress syndrome in patients with acute pancreatitis.MethodsThi…

Sleep disorders and deficiencies can up-regulate pro-inflammatory mediators, but their potential adverse impact on ovarian function remains not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the immunoregulatory mechanisms underlying slee…

Female reproductive tissues repeatedly undergo controlled inflammation, immune adaptation, and tissue repair. Interleukin-33 (IL-33) and its receptor suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) sit at the center of these processes, but their role…

BackgroundUterine broad ligament fibroids present unique surgical challenges due to their proximity to vital pelvic structures. This study aimed to evaluate artificial intelligence (AI)-guided MRI instance segmentation for optimizing laparo…

IntroductionHeavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) affects 10 million reproductive-age women. Stress is a mechanism for menstrual disorders, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, women reported worsening premenstrual and menstrual symptoms. We …

BackgroundUterine fibroids present significant obstetric challenges, particularly in late pregnancy. This study compared the outcomes of cesarean section combined with myomectomy (CS+M) versus cesarean section followed by elective myomectom…

ObjectiveThis trial probed the correlation between miR-31 expression and endometrial receptivity (ER) in patients with repeated implantation failure (RIF) of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET).MethodsA retrospective study o…

BackgroundThe plasma concentration of endoxifen, the active metabolite of tamoxifen, might be affected by different CYP2D6 genotypes in patients with breast cancer, but solid evidence is still lacking in Asian patients. This prospective stu…

IntroductionThe mechanisms of estrogen in glucose metabolism are well established; however, the role of this hormone in glucose absorption remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of estrogen on glucose absorption in huma…

Thin endometrium (TE, ≤7 mm) is widely recognized as a critical cause of infertility, recurrent pregnancy losses, and placental abnormalities. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) plays a crucial role in tissue repair, …

AIM: Endometriosis is characterized by immune evasion and progressive inflammation. This study aimed to identify key genes related to immune and inflammation in endometriosis. METHODS: Differentially expressed genes between patients with a…

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are ubiquitous in the environment and have been shown to interfere with the endocrine system, leading to adverse effects on reproductive health. In females, EDC exposure has been linked to menstrual irr…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is often diagnosed late and presents significant challenges in clinical treatment. A comprehensive investigation of the cellular classification and composition of endometriosis is essential for studying its diagnos…

BackgroundChronic endometritis (CE) has been widely recognized as a potential cause of infertility, however, access to effective treatment is a formidable challenge due to the rudimentary understanding of the pathogenesis of persistent CE. …

BackgroundPremature ovarian failure (POF) is a gynecological endocrine disorder with current treatments having limitations. Kuntai capsule (KTC), a traditional Chinese medicine formulation, is thought to be beneficial for POF, but its mecha…

Women across the globe have been subject to female genital cutting (FGC), with the highest rates in Somalia. FGC can result in sexual concerns, especially sexual pain and lower pleasure. Due to ongoing civil war and climate disasters, there…
