OBJECTIVE: The study systematically examines the long-term trends in the global burden of Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) across 204 countries and territories, with a specific focus on comparing pre-pandemic (1990-2019) and post-pandemic (…

BACKGROUND: Device expulsion is a common complication of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS), with a higher incidence among high-risk patients presenting with enlarged uterine cavities, cervical laxity or menorrhagia.…

BACKGROUND: Pregnant women, as well as patients with endometriosis and some ovarian tumors, may experience a state of high estrogen levels. However, the role of high estrogen in platelet function and thrombosis remains controversial, which …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) combined with syndrome differentiation-based individualized traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbal therapy with 12-month clinical outcomes compared with H…

BACKGROUND: Expulsion of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) limits its effectiveness in adenomyosis management, particularly in patients with anatomical risk factors. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and sh…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is an oestrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease that primarily manifests as chronic pelvic pain and infertility. EMS-associated infertility is closely linked to diminished ovarian function and oocyte q…

BACKGROUND: The ovary is a vital and dynamic reproductive organ. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) plays a vital role in preserving female fertility. However, the cellular subtypes most susceptible to cryoinjury and the molecular mechan…

Gynecological diseases represent a persistent global health burden. According to a WHO report, the global incidence of gynecological diseases exceeds 65%. Furthermore, over 90% of women suffer from gynecological issues to varying degrees. T…

Objective: To investigate the inhibitory effects of phloroglucinol on eutopic stromal cells and ectopic stromal cells from endometriosis and its molecular mechanism. Methods: The effect of phloroglucinol on the survival rate of endometriosi…

This study aimed to enhance preoperative diagnostic accuracy for early ovarian cancer (EOC) by constructing and validating an interpretable predictive model integrating serological markers with O-RADS ultrasound risk stratification. A total…

BACKGROUND: To investigate whether cured tuberculosis affect assisted reproductive outcomes in infertile women. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to compare assisted reproductive outcomes between cured tuberculosis and no…

Pyroptosis is a lytic form of regulated cell death driven by inflammasome activation and gasdermin-mediated membrane rupture, characterized by robust inflammatory amplification. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a multifunctional nuclear p…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Do iron metabolism and ferroptosis influence oocyte and embryo quality in patients with endometriosis undergoing IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), or in a mouse model? DESIGN: Fifty-seven patients with laparos…

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 (EMs) is characterized by dysregulated persistence and enhanced invasiveness of ectopic endometrial cells. Current treatment strategies remain limited by high recurrence rates and considerable adverse effects. Although iron ov…

This study aimed to develop and validate a multimodal deep learning model that leverages 2D grayscale ultrasound (US) images alongside readily available clinical data to improve diagnostic performance for ovarian cancer (OC). A retrospectiv…

The emergence of organoids has received widespread attention for faithful recapitulation of physiological and pathological conditions, together with overcoming the major bottleneck of extrapolating laboratory findings from model systems to …

Endometriosis exhibits epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT)-aligned traits that promote invasion and lesion persistence. We investigated whether poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) coordinates β-catenin/TCF4 activity with EMT programs…

Adenomyosis is a prevalent disorder of the archimetra, historically conflated with endometriosis but possessing a unique pathobiological trajectory. This review synthesises current molecular evidence to propose a unified mechanistic framewo…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a prevalent gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of functional endometrial tissue, and its fibrotic pathology represents a primary contributor to chronic pain and infertility in affec…

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers multiple advantages in the treatment of endometriosis (EMS). Bushen Wenyang Huayu Decoction (BWHD) is widely used in clinical practice for managing EMS. It can signif…

Pain assessment is fundamental in pain medicine, anesthesiology, perioperative care, and clinical trials, yet it remains difficult to standardize across diseases, populations, and care settings. This review organizes pain assessment into fo…

Endometriosis is characterized by progressive fibrosis and limited therapeutic options. Cuproptosis, a copper-dependent form of regulated cell death, has been implicated in multiple pathological conditions, but its relevance to fibroblast-m…

PURPOSE: To systematically conduct a retrospective summary of the optimal surgical strategies and techniques for managing various types of unilateral genital tract obstruction with ipsilateral renal anomaly (UGTOIRA) syndrome, and to establ…

BACKGROUND: The key biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and pathological mechanisms of endometriosis are urgently needed to be elucidated. The role of CTSZ in EM needs to be clarified, and the potential regulatory mechanisms and corresponding …
