BACKGROUND: Smoking and alcohol consumption have been consistently associated with adverse female reproductive outcomes; however, whether these associations reflect causal effects or are mediated by specific circulating metabolites remains …

BackgroundPredicting clinical pregnancy following intrauterine insemination (IUI) remains challenging because of the complex interplay of multiple biological and treatment-related factors. Machine learning approaches may improve predictive …

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis frequently coexists with other gynecological diseases, but the full spectrum of comorbidities and malignant conditions in surgically treated patients remain uncharacterized. This study sought to delineate concurrent …

OBJECTIVE: Approximately 20% of adenomyosis cases occur in women under 40 years of age [1]. Although LNG-IUD is the first-line medical therapy, its treatment failure is closely associated with uterine volume [2] with expulsion rates reporte…

Oocyte/embryo defects can result in oocyte maturation arrest, fertilization failure, embryonic arrest, and infertility as well as recurrent in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) failures. However, the genet…

BACKGROUND: Expulsion of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) limits its effectiveness in adenomyosis management, particularly in patients with anatomical risk factors. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and sh…

ObjectiveObesity impairs endometrial receptivity; however, the mechanism remains unclear. Obesity is associated with elevated leptin levels, and leptin receptor (Ob-Rb) has been demonstrated to be expressed in the human endometrium, but the…

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) has been implicated in female reproductive toxicity, while its long-term effects of prenatal exposure remain unclear. Herein, we conducted a comprehensive NHANES analysis to estimate the Hazard Ratio (HR) of ea…

BackgroundAbdominal pregnancy refers to the implantation of a fertilized egg in the abdominal cavity outside of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries; splenic pregnancy is a rare type of abdominal pregnancy.Case presentationOur patient w…

N 6-methyladenosine (m6A) and N6, 2'-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) are two RNA modifications that play essential roles in diverse RNA metabolic processes and functions. Despite their importance, the dynamic landscapes and regulatory patterns o…

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent gynecologic disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Zinc finger protein 143 (ZNF143) is a DNA-binding transcription factor, yet its role in endome…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of acupuncture combined with Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) on endometriosis-associated pain. METHODS: We searched eight electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, the Cochrane L…

BackgroundTo a large extent, the ovarian reserve determines a woman's reproductive potential. The etiological and pathological mechanisms of diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) remain unclear, and no reliable treatment is currently available f…

Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a severe condition frequently linked to infertility, yet the optimal integration of surgery and assisted reproductive technology (ART) remains controversial. This study reports two cases of infertili…

There is a critical need to generate age- and sex-specific survival curves to characterize chronological aging consistently across nonhuman primates (NHP) used in biomedical research. Sex-specific Kaplan-Meier survival curves were computed …

PURPOSE: Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic gynecological disorder with unclear pathogenesis. While the vaginal and gut microbiomes are known to influence EMS, few studies have analyzed both microbiomes integrally. This study aims to characte…

We aimed to examine abnormal oxidative lipid levels and their related mechanisms in EM-associated infertility. Through liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry analysis, decreased levels of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which have…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness and safety of different acupuncture-related therapies combined with pharmacotherapies for treating symptomatic endometriosis. METHODS: A pre-defined search strategy was conducted across eight databas…

BACKGROUND: Infertility represents a prevalent condition affecting the reproductive system. It has a global incidence of approximately 17.5%. Nutritional supplements are increasingly used as complementary therapy for female infertility, tho…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic gynecological disorder that affects 5% to 10% of women of childbearing age, often causing pelvic pain and infertility. Fibrosis is a hallmark of EM progression, yet its underlying molecular driver…

Recent advances in understanding the modulatory functions of gut and gut microbiota on human diseases facilitated our focused attention on the contribution of the gut to the pathophysiological alterations of many extraintestinal organs, inc…

Current interventions for endometriosis mainly involve hormone therapies but have limited efficacy and unacceptable side effects due to the lack of selectivity to distinguish between endometriosis and endometrial tissues. Elucidating the mo…

Endometriosis markedly compromises female fertility, and although endometrial dysfunction likely plays a role in this pathology, its precise mechanistic contributions remain poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the decidualizat…
