AbstractThis study aimed to investigate whether an early LH surge during controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) affects pregnancy outcomes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) and…

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), a prevalent gynecological ailment compromising women's health, demonstrates established risk mitigation from dietary trace minerals. However, iron's role in PID pathogenesis remains unestablished. The Nati…

Iron overload induces cellular stress and is implicated in diverse pathological conditions. Nevertheless, the epigenetic mechanisms governing mammalian cellular responses to iron overload remain poorly characterized. Using multi-omics profi…

IntroductionDiminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is known to reduce the likelihood of achieving pregnancy or live births in women undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Acupuncture maybe effective for DOR, but current e…

RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the impact of focal adenomyosis on IVF/iICSI outcomes, and what is the optimal protocol for these patients? DESIGN: This retrospective study screened 66,711 first IVF/ICSI cycles and identified 598 women with foc…

BackgroundIn this study, we aimed to explore the effect of the timing of surgical management of hydrosalpinx on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic single-sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) pregnancy outcomes in patients with tubal factor infer…

BackgroundEmbryo implantation failure and early pregnancy loss remain significant challenges in assisted reproductive technology (ART). Lipid peroxidation is known to be involved in reproductive physiology. However, its role during the impl…

Adult endometrial glands undergo cyclic regeneration and development during the menstrual cycle. Their secretions are vital for endometrial functions and early pregnancy, yet the mechanisms controlling gland development are not well underst…

Endometriosis diagnosis is often limited by the resolution of conventional imaging techniques (ultrasound/non-targeted MRI) as well as the invasiveness and recurrence risks associated with laparoscopy. To overcome these challenges, we devel…

BACKGROUNDS: Abnormal cleavage (ABNCL) in early human embryos is a frequent phenomenon associated with impaired developmental competence and reduced reproductive potential. However, the clinical determinants of ABNCL and its subtypes remain…

Dyslipidaemia is related to endometriosis, but it is not known which lipid component is most relevant, and whether the observed correlation reflects the causal relationship. The relationship between triglycerides (TG) and endometriosis is s…

Chronic pelvic pain is a common and multifactorial clinical syndrome that markedly impairs quality of life in both men and women. Superior hypogastric plexus block (SHGPB) is an effective minimally invasive treatment. The sacral notch appro…

BackgroundPremature ovarian insufficiency (POI) significantly impairs female fertility and poses substantial health risks; however, its pathogenesis is incompletely understood, and effective therapeutic interventions are limited. Although g…

BackgroundThe ovary is a vital and dynamic reproductive organ. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) plays a vital role in preserving female fertility. However, the cellular subtypes most susceptible to cryoinjury and the molecular mechanis…

BackgroundEndometrial receptivity in hormone replacement therapy-frozen embryo transfer (HRT-FET) cycles depends on a precisely coordinated estradiol-progesterone environment. An imbalance between estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P) before …

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…

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…

BackgroundPolycystic 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 b…

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…

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…

This study investigates the molecular mechanism by which USP25 contributes to pancreatic microcirculatory disturbance in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). SAP was induced by retrograde injection of 4% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic …

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…
