OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of day 4 double embryo transfer (DET) with a fully compacted morula (FCM) and a partially compacted morula (PCM) versus day 4 single embryo transfer (SET) with an FCM on clinical and neonatal outcomes in fr…

Endometriosis exhibits epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT)-aligned traits that promote invasion and lesion persistence. We investigated whether poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) coordinates β-catenin/TCF4 activity with EMT programs…

BACKGROUND: Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) facilitate tracheal intubation and laparoscopic exposure, but residual neuromuscular blockade remains a perioperative concern. We evaluated whether reducing NMBA exposure during total laparo…

INTRODUCTION: Accurate and non-invasive assessment of early embryonic metabolic biomarkers and their association with developmental potential remains a major challenge in assisted reproductive technology (ART). Glucose is a key metabolic co…

BACKGROUND: Implantation failure is the most common cause of pregnancy failure and is a major limiting factor in assisted reproduction. Plasma microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles show dynamic changes among individuals with successful impla…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the diagnostic value of ultrasound in intrauterine device (IUD) embedment complicated by bladder stone formation and to discuss the clinical approach to diagnosis and management. METHODS: We retrospectively analyz…

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and its subtypes are serious concerns affecting a woman's quality of life and pose a challenge for her social reintegration. Prolonged labor leading to trauma of the pelvic floor muscles during delivery, surgical…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a common gynecological disorder. According to the most widely recognized theory of retrograde menstruation, endometrial cells require completion of three key steps during ectopic implantation: adhesion, invasion, and …

Endometriosis involves ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, yet the spatial transcriptomic and metabolic landscape of ovarian endometriomas remains poorly understood. This investigation presents a comprehensive multi-omics analysis of…

BACKGROUND: Early spontaneous abortion (ESA) is one of the most common clinically recognized pregnancy complications. While multiple factors such as embryo abnormalities and maternal conditions may contribute to ESA, early identification an…

PURPOSE: The present study investigated the expression and role of miR-183 in the proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis of endometrial stromal cells in endometriosis patients and the potential involvement of targeting Ezrin. ME…

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to explore the current research status and development trend of chronic pain treated with external therapies in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and to provide a reference for further research in this field. METHODS: …

BACKGROUND: Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are sophisticated and dynamic protein structures that straddle the nuclear envelope and act as gatekeepers for transporting molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. NPCs comprise up to 30 di…

As an important part of medical science, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) attracts much public attention due to its multi-target and multi-pathway characteristics in treating diseases. However, the limitations of traditional research meth…

Rhein is a natural active ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine that has attracted much attention due to its wide range of pharmacological activities. However, its clinical application is limited by low water solubility, poor oral abso…

STUDY QUESTION: What are the dynamic expression features of plasma microRNAs (miRNAs) during the peri-implantation period in women with successful pregnancy via single frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer? SUMMARY ANSWER: There is a significa…

Autoimmune bullous disease (AIBD) is a severe skin disorder caused by autoantibodies that target intercellular or cell-matrix adhesion proteins. Currently, the preferred treatment for AIBD involves the use of glucocorticoids or traditional …

Endometriosis (EMS) is a common benign gynecological disease affecting women of reproductive age. It is characterized by abnormal growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, resulting in chronic pelvic pain and infertility. End…

PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the perceived changes in sexual behaviour during COVID-19 lockdown, anxiety symptoms, and couple relationship of patients with infertility. METHODS: We performed an observational cross-sectional study b…

In order to explore the effective diagnosis method of gynecological acute abdomen, this paper takes hospital gynecological acute abdomen patients as samples and selects gynecological acute abdomen patients admitted to the hospital to be inc…

BACKGROUND: Ovulatory disturbance is a key diagnostic feature of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), leading to infertility and correspondingly heavy disease burden. Many therapeutic strategies have been used to induce ovulation for women w…

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas. The severity is classified as mild (MAP), moderately severe (MSAP), or severe (SAP). In patients with SAP, organ dysfunction can occur in the early stage of the disease cou…

Copy number variation (CNV) is a main cause of male infertility, yet its influence still remains elusive in that of females. To investigate the correlation between CNV and female infertility, we applied whole-genome CNV analyses by next gen…

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a major endocrine and metabolic disorder with heterogeneous manifestations and complex etiology. As a leading cause of anovulatory infertility, the molecular diversity of the follicular microe…

BACKGROUND: Ovulatory disturbance is a key diagnostic feature of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), leading to infertility and correspondingly heavy disease burden. Many therapeutic strategies have been used to induce ovulation for women w…
