BACKGROUND: Syndrome differentiation in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is pivotal to clinical practice and dictates the efficacy of medicinal treatments. However, precision diagnostic models for TCM syndromes, constructed from biomarker…

OBJECTIVE: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are omnipresent, persistent contaminants associated with rising ovarian cancer incidence; however, the molecular circuitry linking PFAS to ovarian tumorigenesis remains obscure. METHODS…

PURPOSE: The goal of optimizing electrogram acquisition in electrophysiology imaging is to minimize the number of electrodes used, determine their optimal placement, and ensure accurate imaging. METHODS: We quantitatively evaluated the imp…

BACKGROUND: To evaluate whether progesterone-induced changes in endometrial thickness (EMT) affect singleton infant outcomes during frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. METHODS: This retrospective study analyzed 6,331 singleton live…

At present, there is unclear on the risk factors of recurrence after myomectomy. In this study, we hope to provide reference for the choice of treatment for patients with uterine fibroids and provide basis for the subsequent prediction of r…

UNLABELLED: Vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) is a chronic skin condition affecting the vulva, causing significant discomfort, but its etiology in prepubertal girls remains poorly understood. VLS presents with itching, irritation, and pain. Rec…

Abstract Uterine peristalsis involves spontaneous, mild contractions of the sub-endometrial layer in the nonpregnant uterus, playing a crucial role in menstruation and fertility. Disruptions in peristaltic patterns have been linked to cond…

INTRODUCTION: Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a serious clinical gynecological emergency. Patients with EP history are at higher risk of EP resulting from IVF/ICSI (IVF-EP). Besides, studies have suggested that previous EP treatments may affect t…

PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of first-trimester COVID-19 infection on the perinatal and obstetric outcomes following in vitro fertilization-frozen embryo transfer. METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted at a university-affil…

INTRODUCTION: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a major challenge in reproductive medicine, and emerging evidence suggests that alterations in the endometrial microbiota may play a critical role in its pathogenesis. To identify the ma…

Progestogens commonly used in the clinic include levonorgestrel, etonogestrel, medroxyprogesterone, hydroxyprogesterone, progesterone, desogestrel, and megestrol. Progestogens are widely used for contraception and the treatment of endometri…

Abstract Background :To analyze the prevalence and burden of disease (Disability-Adjusted Life Years) of endometriosis in 204 countries and regions from 1990 to 2021, and evaluate its global trends, regional differences and association …

BACKGROUND: Female reproductive aging remains irreversible. More evidence is needed on how polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) affect the female reproductive lifespan. OBJECTIVES: To identify and validate specific PUFAs that can influence …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic disease characterized by endometrial-like tissue present outside of the uterus. Macrophages have been confirmed to participate in the development of EMs. Integrin β3 (ITGB3), a β-subunit of the i…

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…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relative sensitivity of different methods for detecting cervical glandular lesions. METHODS: A total of 225 patients with cervical glandular lesions diagnosed from January 2018 to February 2023 were retrieved from…

Abstract Background: Progestogen commonly used in clinic include levonorgestrel, etonogestrel, medroxyprogesterone, hydroxyprogesterone, progesterone, desogestrel, megestrol. Progestogenare widely used in the treatment of contraception, en…

STUDY QUESTION: What are the odds of achieving pregnancy when adopting progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS)-related protocols combined with repetitive frozen-thawed transfer (FET) cycles in patients with different clinical characteri…

Endometrial fibrosis is the histologic appearance of intrauterine adhesion (IUA). Emerging evidences demonstrated umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (UCMSC-exo) could alleviate endometrial fibrosis. But the specific mecha…

Cervical softening and dilation are critical for the successful term delivery of a fetus, with premature changes associated with preterm birth. Traditional clinical measures like transvaginal ultrasound and Bishop scores fall short in predi…
