BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disease that lacks reliable noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers. This study was aimed at evaluating the diagnostic value of PAX8 using integrated transcriptomic and machine learn…

Endometrial cancer (EC) incidence is rising, yet current diagnostics lack precision and scalability. We develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based platform integrating multi-biofluid omics and clinical data for EC stratification. Using t…

BACKGROUND: Aspartame, a widely used artificial sweetener, has been implicated in multiple toxicities. However, its potential reproductive toxicity mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the underlying relationship betwe…

Abstract Purpose This study explores the clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and optimal timing for surgery in primary labia minora fusion, a rare congenital vulvar malformation, emphasizing that appropriate surgical timing can redu…

BACKGROUND: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) impose significant clinical and economic burdens on healthcare systems globally. Patients in obstetrics and gynecology face unique vulnerabilities; however, population-specif…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a prevalent benign condition among women of reproductive age. While the overall rate of endometriosis-associated malignancy is low, the risk of malignant transformation increases significantly in postmenopausal …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a heterogeneous gynecological disorder characterized by chronic pain, infertility, and substantial impairment of quality of life. Increasing evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of endom…

Oral delivery of protein and peptide therapeutics (PPs) offers a non-invasive, patient-friendly alternative to parenteral administration, yet faces multiple formidable barriers due to the complex gastrointestinal (GI) environment. This revi…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women, yet non-hormonal therapeutic options remain limited. This study investigates the role of the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome axis in endom…

Ovarian endometriosis (OEM) is characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue growth within the ovary. In these ectopic lesions, the ectopic epithelium plays a crucial role in OEM progression and has been associated with malignant transformati…

The relationship between hyperprolactinemia and gut microbiota remains unclear at present. This study employs a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to assess the potential causal links between gut microbiota and the incidence of hyperprol…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between dietary habits and nine common diseases with high female prevalence using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. METHODS: Drawing upon pooled Genome-Wi…

OBJECTIVE: While physical activity (PA) patterns are epidemiologically linked to gynecologic pathologies, establishing causality remains uncertain. This Mendelian randomization (MR) study evaluated causal relationships between PA phenotypes…

BackgroundSerum lipase levels are crucial biomarkers in acute pancreatitis (AP), yet their dynamic patterns and prognostic implications remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to identify distinct lipase trajectory phenotypes and e…

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine-metabolic condition in reproductive-aged women, linked to infertility and long-term cardiometabolic risk. Early identification remains challenging because current diagnosis re…

SignificanceGlobally, infertility affects 10-15% of couples, with Fallopian Tube Obstruction (FTO) being a principal cause. Current therapeutic options are inadequate, prompting a demand for effective, less invasive treatments with lower re…

BackgroundSome factors that influence the medical abortion(MA) process are unknown. This study aims to investigate the influential factors associated with abortion time, bleeding volume, pain scores, and anxiety during the process of MA.Met…

Ectopic pancreas (EP) is most commonly located in the upper gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the stomach. Malignant transformation of EP is exceptionally rare, and due to its very low incidence, the response to drug therapy and overa…

Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. Central to its pathophysiology, peritoneal CD14ʰⁱ macrophages exhibit a pro-EMS phenotype and drive disease …

Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. Central to its pathophysiology, peritoneal CD14hi macrophages exhibit a pro-EMS phenotype and drive disease …

BackgroundUterine prolapse (UP), a subtype of pelvic organ prolapse (POP), frequently coexists with urinary tract infections (UTIs) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), including urinary frequency (UF), urinary incontinence (UI), and ur…

High mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is a protein released from stressed or damaged cells that triggers immune activation and chronic inflammation. The NOD-like receptor (NLR) family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) is a central component of …

Endometrial cancer (EC) is a major reproductive system tumor and a common cancer in women. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most prevalent female reproductive endocrine disorders. The incidence of EC is significantly higher in…
