INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive techniques have been widely adopted for hysterectomy, including Transumbilical Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Surgery (TU-LESS) and Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES). Howeve…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis can lead to decreased endometrial receptivity, reduced rates of implantation, and diminished ovarian reserve. Currently, more than 50% of infertile women are found to suffer from endometriosis. However the etiology…

Organoids are three-dimensional tissue analogues grown in vitro. Although they are not human organs in the strict sense, they can mimic the structure and function of tissues in vivo to the maximum extent, and have broad application prospect…

Retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy is an extremely rare form of ectopic pregnancy that can be life-threatening due to severe intra-abdominal hemorrhage. Retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy is frequently misdiagnosed because of its atypical loc…

BACKGROUND: The main characteristics of the robotic surgical system include high-definition three-dimensional imaging, flexible and stable instruments, and an ergonomic console design. Incorporating robotic systems with laparoendoscopic sin…

In recent years, the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in disease has attracted considerable interest, underscoring their potential utility as diagnostic biomarkers. miR‑100, belonging to the miR‑99 family, is integral to the pathophysiological pr…

OBJECTIVE: In order to examine the impact of belimumab on recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) women exhibiting B lymphocyte dysfunction. METHODS: This study conducted a retrospective case-control analysis of RSA patients with confirmed B …

Chronic pain is an extremely prevalent healthcare issue that has a profound impact on individuals and society. Sex and sex hormones regulate the pain threshold differently in males and females in pain processing. However, the regulatory mec…

Adenomyosis is a complex gynecological disease characterized by endometrial tissue invasion into the myometrium. Current interventions, such as hormonal therapy or hysterectomy, are associated with significant side effects and compromise fe…

BACKGROUND: Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) is a heterogeneous syndrome characterized by ovarian dysfunction, frequently associated with autoimmune factors. The interaction between peripheral and ovarian immune signals remains unclear. Rece…

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation is a minimally invasive treatment for benign gynecological diseases, though skin burns remain a potential complication. Understanding risk factors is critical for improving safety. In this s…

The leucine-rich pentatricopeptide repeat-containing (LRPPRC) protein, a member of the pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) family, is a mitochondria-associated protein that regulates various biological processes, including cell cycle progression…

The VDR and MTHFR polymorphisms have been linked to many gynecological and obstetrical diseases. However, there is still a pressing need for a systematic review and meta-analysis to synthesize the current evidence on the association between…

Ranking second out of new cancer cases, breast cancer (BRCA) is the leading cause of cancerous death among women globally. Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3), as the well-known N6‑methyladenosine (m6A) "writer" with catalytic function, regul…

This study aims to assess whether endometriosis causally increases the risk of IBD through Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis and to elucidate potential mechanisms using in vitro experiments. A two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) ana…

Non-obstructive azoospermia, a severe form of male infertility caused by spermatogenic failure (SPGF), has a largely unknown genetic basis across ancestries. To our knowledge, this is the first trans-ethnic meta-analysis of genome-wide asso…

OBJECTIVE: Tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome-1 (TRPS1), an atypical GATA transcription factor, plays a critical role in diverse physiological and pathological processes and holds potential as a biomarker for diseases and targeted tumor thera…

BACKGROUND: The American Heart Association (AHA), in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core healt…

Ovarian endometrioma (OE) is a common gynecological condition characterized by the formation of "chocolate cysts". Recent research indicates that the cyst fluid acts as a "toxic environment" for the ovary and plays a significant role in the…

The effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection persist months and years after recovery. We conducted an online survey to assess the health condition of convalescents approximately 5 months following th…

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is known to play a crucial role in the development of endometriosis (EMs). However, the exact mechanisms involved in EMT regulation in EMs are not well understood. In this study, we performed comprehe…

BACKGROUND: An increasing body of observational studies have indicated an association between gut microbiota and endometriosis. However, the causal relationship between them is not yet clear. In this study, we employed Mendelian randomizati…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Vaginal Microecology Evaluation System (VMES) in assessing the dynamics of the vaginal microbiome (VM) throughout the process of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF…
