Unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (URPL) represents a prevalent obstetric complication and remains a challenging condition with poorly understood genetic etiology. Through whole-exome sequencing of 94 URPL patients, we identified enriche…

OBJECTIVE: This review comprehensively explores the potential relationship between the microbiota and adenomyosis, aiming to identify specific microbial biomarkers, elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the involvement of the microb…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the long-term therapeutic efficacy of laparoscopy combined with transvaginal ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) for adenomyosis and to identify independent risk factors for postoperative symptomatic recurrenc…

OBJECTIVE: Defective endometrial receptivity is an indispensable cause of infertility in endometriosis, yet the post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms underlying this impairment remain poorly understood. The goal of this research was to…

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…

In this study, we identified a number of biological processes, pathways, and key protein targets associated with coenzyme metabolism in bovine clinical mastitis (CM). The expression patterns and subcellular localization of key proteins were…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and the risk of PCOS increases in patients with T2DM of reproductive age. The bidirectional link between PCOS and T2DM has…

In brief: We present the first single-cell transcriptomic atlas of follicular fluid from an ovarian endometrioma (OMA) patient, revealing a novel TCR+ macrophage subtype, aberrant granulosa cell developmental trajectories, immune dysregulat…

Ascites, a hallmark of advanced ovarian cancer, severely impairs patient quality of life and contributes to therapeutic resistance. Current management strategies remain primarily palliative, highlighting the urgent need to elucidate the und…

Introduction. Endometriosis affects 10-20% of reproductive-age women. Emerging evidence links the gut microbiota to endometriosis pathogenesis, but observational studies are limited by confounding, reverse causation and uncertainty about wh…

BACKGROUND: Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an ultra-rare (prevalence ~ 1:2 million), devastating genetic disorder characterized by progressive heterotopic ossification. Crucially, surgical trauma is a potent trigger for cata…

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…

The purpose of this meta-analysis was to systematically assess the efficacy of ultrasound-guided therapy of ovarian endometriosis cyst (OEC). Several databases were searched to gather published studies on the efficacy of ultrasound-guided t…

Filamentous fungi exhibit high heavy metal resistance; elucidating their resistance mechanisms is of practical importance for fungal utilization and for engineering other microorganisms. However, the molecular basis of copper tolerance in f…

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Yiqi Huoxue Formula (YQHXF) is an 11-herb hospital-based traditional Chinese medicinal formula developed according to the therapeutic principle of tonifying qi and activating blood circulation. Previous clini…

Angiomyofibroblastoma (AMFB) is a rare benign soft tissue tumor that primarily arises in the vulvovaginal region of women of reproductive age. Due to its rarity, AMFB is often overlooked in the differential diagnosis, and as such, it is not…

BACKGROUND: Cotton phenol is a yellowish-brown polyphenol hydroxybinaphthyl aldehyde compound mainly found in the roots, stems, leaves and seeds of cotton; a plant of the mallow family that has been widely used in the study of antifertility…

Neferine is a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid derived from the seed embryo of Nelumbo nucifera, a traditional Chinese medicine. It has been extensively studied for its therapeutic potential in various disease models. Extensive research has h…

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…

Dioxins are persistent environmental pollutants known for their multiple health effects, from skin rashes to liver dysfunction, reproductive toxicity and cancer. While the hazards of dioxins have been well documented, the challenge of devel…

BACKGROUND: This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine in treating postoperative acute pain through a clinical randomized controlled trial. METHODS: This study selected 165 patients who underwent general anes…

STUDY QUESTION: Do novel per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (Novel PFAS) have associations with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI)? SUMMARY ANSWER: Hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (HFPO-DA), perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA), perfluo…

UNLABELLED: Primary dysmenorrhea (PDM) is a common cyclic menstrual pain that significantly affects the quality of life for women. Several epidemiological studies have suggested a potential association between PDM and mental health traits, …

OBJECTIVES: Obesity and endometriosis are intricately linked. The body mass index (BMI) is commonly used as an indicator of obesity, but it has limitations. The visceral adiposity index (VAI) is a novel, low-cost composite index that reflec…
