This study aims to assess associations of dyslipidemia with in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcomes in women undergoing their first ovarian stimulation and whether age, body mass index, or lipid levels modify these …
OBJECTIVE: To introduce a novel hysteroscopic suture fixation technique using a "pre-fabricated knot". This is used for levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system placement in adenomyosis treatment. DESIGN: Step-by-step video of "pre-fab…
BackgroundChronic endometritis (CE) has been associated with implantation failure and recurrent reproductive failure. Antibiotic therapy is widely used as a first-line treatment for CE, and previous studies have suggested that successful tr…
It has been proved that lipids have an effect on endometriosis, and the plasma atherosclerosis index (AIP), as a new lipid index, has not been proved to be correlative to endometriosis. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey f…
Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are nanoscale vesicles actively released by Gram-negative bacteria, and have become key mediators in bacterial physiology, host-pathogen interactions, and disease pathogenesis. The biogenesis of OMVs is a dyna…
Background/Objectives: The diagnosis of endometriosis (EM) remains challenging due to the lack of a perfect diagnostic standard and the poor concordance between clinical symptoms and lesion severity. Although laparoscopy is widely used in c…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the complementary roles of rectal magnetic resonance imaging and endoscopic ultrasound in the preoperative assessment of rectal deep endometriosis (DE). DESIGN: Retrospective, cross-sectional study. SETTING: Shen…
Endometrial carcinoma, a prevailing malignancy of the female reproductive system, exhibits escalating incidence and a trend towards early onset. Hormone therapy serves as a primary choice for fertility preservation and is also considered fo…
The homeostasis balance of copper, as an essential trace element for life activities, is crucial for maintaining the normal function of cells. Cuproptosis, discovered in recent years, is a novel type of programmed cell death triggered by th…
Uterine cancer (UC) is the most common malignancy of the female reproductive system worldwide, with a continuously rising incidence, posing a significant public health challenge. This study systematically evaluated the burden of UC using th…
BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes; however, current literature presents inconsistent findings, probably due to varying feotal numbers included in previous research. This study sou…
BackgroundFirst implantation failure (FIF) remains a significant challenge in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET), and a considerable proportion of affected women subsequently progress to re…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a systemic gynecological disorder affecting ~ 10% of reproductive-aged women and shares pathophysiological features with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, its associations with cardiac remodeling and CVD ri…
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) has emerged as a highly promising therapeutic target due to its critical role in the pathogenesis and progression of endometriosis. To date, a variety of FGFR2 inhibitors have exhibited remarkable…
Accumulating observational evidence suggests an association between thyroid function and endometriosis, though the causal relationship remains unclear. To investigate potential bidirectional causal relationships, including for endometriosis…
Lactic acid modification of histones represents an emerging post-translational modification that establishes a critical link between cellular metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic regulation through the covalent binding of lactic acid to h…
INTRODUCTION: There is increasing evidence that women who have experienced infertility are at greater risk for several chronic conditions. However, the mechanisms underlying these associations are not clear. Pathophysiology may be illuminat…
Aims/hypothesisThe aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between infertility history, the risk of type 2 diabetes and HbA1c levels.MethodsAmong the participants in the Nurses' Health Study II (n=116,429), those who reported i…
BACKGROUND: The optimal interpregnancy interval (IPI) before reinitiating frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) after pregnancy loss remains uncertain, particularly in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology. Current guidelines reco…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long-term therapeutic efficacy of uterine artery embolization (UAE) for adenomyosis and to identify independent prognostic factors associated with postoperative recurrence. METHODS: A total of 200 adenomyosis pati…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive and metabolic disorder with a complex and yet unresolved etiology. Although ovulation induction therapy can improve ovulatory function, the natural pregnancy rate and pregnancy outco…
BackgroundOvarian cancer is a major female reproductive health issue with heterogeneous biological features on its subtypes, which may require different therapeutic strategies. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists were reporte…
BackgroundOocyte aneuploidy is a major cause of pregnancy failure in women of advanced maternal age (AMA), and current assisted reproductive technologies offer limited effective strategies to prevent age-related decline in oocyte quality. T…
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a prevalent condition that significantly impairs women's quality of life and is closely linked to dysregulated estrogen signaling. This review examines the mechanisms through which estrogen, acting via nuclear…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a complex gynaecological disorder that affects 10%-15% of reproductive-age women and is characterized by chronic inflammation, pelvic pain, and infertility. Although mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in en…
