Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) has been implicated in female reproductive toxicity, while its long-term effects of prenatal exposure remain unclear. Herein, we conducted a comprehensive NHANES analysis to estimate the Hazard Ratio (HR) of ea…
The B‑cell translocation gene 2 (BTG2), originally identified as a tumor suppressor, has been extensively studied in oncology research. However, its multifaceted functions in non‑tumor diseases are still being recognized but not entirely un…
Age-related decreases in follicle numbers and oocyte quality are major contributors to the decline in female fertility, which is associated with increased infertility rates. Emerging evidence suggests that targeting granulosa cell senescenc…
BACKGROUND: The clinical impact of sperm chromatin condensation defects (SCCD) on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes remains controversial. This study aimed to clarify the effects of SCCD on embryonic development, pregnancy, and neonatal…
Females with iron overload suffer from follicular dysplasia, and effective therapeutic strategies for preserving fertility remain lacking. As a natural aliphatic polyamine, spermidine exerts antioxidant activity and plays an anti-ferroptosi…
Ovarian cancer (OC) is a leading cause of gynecologic cancer mortality, with survival prediction limited by existing prognostic models that fail to capture tumor heterogeneity. Conventional methods lack precision for individualized risk ass…
BACKGROUND: Migraine is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by severe headache, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound, affecting approximately 1 billion people globally. Despite advances in understanding migraine pathophysiol…
N 6-methyladenosine (m6A) and N6, 2'-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) are two RNA modifications that play essential roles in diverse RNA metabolic processes and functions. Despite their importance, the dynamic landscapes and regulatory patterns o…
Red meat consumption is widespread globally and has been associated with endometriosis (EMS) progression, although the precise underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, we aimed to explore the mechanisms by which a red mea…
The female immune system operates within an evolutionary stability-plasticity trade-off, where the physiological demands of pregnancy necessitate a considerable degree of regulatory T cell (Treg) plasticity. This essential flexibility, howe…
INTRODUCTION: Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential polyunsaturated fatty acid, modulates gastrointestinal microbiota and host immunity, yet its regulatory mechanisms in dairy cows remain unclear. METHODS: This study investigated how di…
BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is widely acknowledged as the prevailing reproductive endocrine disorder accompanied by numerous metabolic dysfunctions. However, there has been a lack of systematic examination regarding the ami…
BACKGROUND: There is limited research about the pregnancy outcomes of POSEIDON group 2 patients. This study aims to evaluate the factors related to the clinical outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and/or intracytoplasmic sperm injectio…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present retrospective cohort study was to compare the clinical characteristics, perioperative outcomes and pregnancy outcomes of laparo-endoscopic single-site (LESS) surgery, conventional laparoscopy (CL) surgery a…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease that is the leading cause of dysmenorrhea, infertility, and pelvic pain in women. A growing body of evidence has demonstrated that platelets may play an important role …
BACKGROUND: Müllerian adenosarcoma (MA) is a rare low-grade malignant tumor. It is characterized by benign glandular epithelium and malignant sarcomatous stromal components. This tumor commonly arises in the uterine corpus. Primary ovarian …
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to comparatively analyze the therapeutic effects of uterine artery embolization (UAE) and laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) on uterine fibroids to determine which treatment method is more beneficial for patie…
The Levonorgestrel-releasing Intrauterine System (LNG-IUS) is extensively utilized in the treatment of adenomyosis. However, the displacement and expulsion of the LNG-IUS bring significant challenges. This was a retrospective analysis compa…
BACKGROUND: Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) has been identified as a member of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5). The symptoms of premenstrual syndrome are uncertain, and these uncertain s…
BACKGROUND: The 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 s…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does frozen embryo transfer improve pregnancy outcomes compared with fresh embryo transfer in women with ovarian endometriosis (OEM) undergoing their first IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycle? DESIGN: A retrospect…
Abstract Background: Endometrial receptivity, a critical prerequisite for successful pregnancy, is impaired in women with endometriosis. Plasma membrane transformation (PMT), a key process involving dynamic remodeling of endometrial epithe…
As a complex chronic gynecological disorder characterized by multifaceted etiology involving genetics, environment, immunity and inflammation, endometriosis (EM) has long been a significant concern for women of reproductive age worldwide. T…
