RATIONALE: The accurate classification of retroperitoneal neoplasms remains challenging, particularly when distinguishing between epithelioid leiomyoma and perivascular epitheloid cell tumor (PEComa) due to significant histological and immu…
Chronic endometritis (CE) is a plasma cell-related endometrial inflammatory phenotype that may compromise fertility, while endometriosis (EM) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disorder. However, whether EM is associated with CD138-defined …
BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to poor embryo quality and recurrent assisted reproductive technology (ART) failure. Mitochondrial transplantation (MIT), which involves supplementing oocytes with exogenous mitochondria, ha…
BACKGROUND: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is a major cause of infertility and remains a core challenge in reproductive medicine. Although previous studies have suggested that acupuncture may improve reproductive outcomes in infertile wom…
BACKGROUND: Acupuncture has been widely applied to polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) patients. This network meta-analysis (NMA) aims to compare the effects of different acupuncture methods on PCOS from the aspects of hyperandrogenism, meta…
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants with potential reproductive toxicity, yet their profiles in follicular fluid and impacts on human fertility remain unclear. Given the importance of diet as…
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: Ovarian endometriosis (OE) is a leading cause of female infertility. Our previous work identified iron overload-driven oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in granulosa cells as key pathogenic features, yet the mechani…
Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is characterized by a decline in oocyte quantity and/or quality and represents a growing cause of female infertility, particularly among young women, yet its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Dis…
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by pain, infertility and recurrence. Current pharmacological management relies largely on hormonal suppression, which can reduce pain and disease activity but does not eradicate …
BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, repeated oocyte retrieval cycles are often necessary for patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). It has been hypothesized that the mechanical stimulation from the initial oocyte pick-up (OPU) proced…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic versus transvaginal ethanol sclerotherapy in patients with ovarian endometriomas (OEMs). DESIGN: Preliminary retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Reproductive Medicine Re…
Infected wounds heal considerably slowly among patients with diabetes because of biofilm barriers and immune dysregulation. Therefore, treatment strategies must simultaneously eliminate infection and accelerate healing. In this study, we pr…
Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disorder with incompletely understood pathogenesis. Through single-cell RNA sequencing of adenomyosis tissues, we identified epithelial-endothelial transition (EET) as a key pathological mechanism and d…
Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by pain and infertility, remains a clinical challenge. Current hormonal and surgical treatments are often limited by side effects and high recurrence rates. In search of more eff…
OBJECTIVE: Ultrasound imaging of the endometrium is often affected by speckle noise, low contrast, and physiological cycle variations, which lead to blurred boundaries and ambiguous structural representation. To address these challenges, th…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of a 3-stage treatment strategy featured by cold-knife adenomyomectomy, enhanced endometrial protection and postoperative uterine monitoring for severe diffuse adenomyosis on IVF/ICSI and perinatal o…
PURPOSE: To compare the effects of the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist protocol, GnRH antagonist protocol, progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol, and mild stimulation/natural cycle protocol on the cumulative li…
Epigenetic regulation plays an essential role in immunity and inflammation in endometriosis. In this study, we aimed to explore differences in m6A regulators between endometriosis patients and normal women and analyze the effect of m6A modi…
Poor ovarian response (POR) is a challenge in reproductive medicine, often leading to suboptimal outcomes in IVF/ICSI cycles. Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections have emerged as a potential therapy to enhance ovarian function. …
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of cold environment exposure on female reproductive capacity and explore its potential regulatory mechanisms. METHODS: Female mice were subjected to cold water immersion to simulate cold environment ex…
Endometrium plays a crucial role in embryonic growth and development. Endometrial-related diseases, such as endometritis, endometriosis, endometrial cancer, and intrauterine adhesions, hurt fertility and women's health. At present, these di…
BACKGROUND: Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a vital treatment modality for various gynecological conditions. However, complications may arise from the accidental migration of embolic agents into non-target tissues through the uterine a…
Abstract Introduction Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder characterized by immune dysregulation. This condition profoundly affects the quality of life and reproductive health of nearly 200 million women of rep…
