Abnormal granulosa cell (GC) death contributes to cyclophosphamide (CTX) induced primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). To investigate the contribution of GCs to POI, gene profiles of GCs exposed to CTX were assessed using RNA-Seq and bioinfo…

Ovarian cancer, a group of heterogeneous diseases, presents with extensive characteristics with the highest mortality among gynecological malignancies. Accurate and early diagnosis of ovarian cancer is of great significance. Here, we presen…

BACKGROUND: The timely identification and management of ovarian cancer are critical determinants of patient prognosis. In this study, we developed and validated a deep learning radiomics nomogram (DLR_Nomogram) based on ultrasound (US) imag…

INTRODUCTION: The microbial community plays a crucial role in the pathological microenvironment. However, the structure of the microbial community within endometriotic lesions and its impact on the microenvironment is still limited. METHOD…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether different timings of GnRH-a downregulation affected assisted reproductive outcomes in infertile women with moderate-to-severe intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) accompanied by adenomyosis. DESIGN: A retro…

STUDY OBJECTIVES: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) confers a high risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Here we investigated the effect of OSA on first in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle metrics and outcomes in patients with PCOS. METHODS…

BACKGROUND: Prior research showed that elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) before in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) treatment can lead to a lower rate of l…

OBJECTIVE: Rectal cancer has a high incidence and its onset age is getting younger. Currently, conventional laparoscopic surgery can no longer meet the clinical requirements for surgical incisions. Natural orifice specimen extraction surger…

AIMS: To assess the predictive value of estradiol (E2) related parameters on the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in women undergoing fresh embryo transfer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A Post-hoc analysis of a prospective cohort…

The mechanism involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis is poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to identify key deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) for endometriosis diagnosis and elucidate the possible mechanism, offering novel …

BACKGROUND: Currently, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been reported to promote endometrial regeneration in rat models of mechanically injury-induced uterine adhesions (IUAs), but the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of hy…

BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of uterine leiomyoma (ULM) with an increasing incidence. This study aimed to identify potential oxidative stress-related biomarkers in ULM using transcriptome data integra…

AIMS: Endometriosis is characterized by an abnormal immune microenvironment. Despite the extensive use of immune therapies, the application of immune checkpoint inhibitors in endometriosis lacks confidence due to the instability of preclini…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the main cause of anovulatory infertility in women of reproductive age, and low-grade chronic inflammation plays a key role in the occurrence and development of PCOS. However, obesity, as a li…

OBJECTIVES: The study aimed to compare the diagnostic efficacy of the machine learning models with expert subjective assessment (SA) in assessing the malignancy risk of ovarian tumors using transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS). METHODS: The retr…

INTRODUCTION: This study investigated changes in plasma microbial-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and insulin resistance (PCOS-IR) before and after metformin treatment, and aimed to identify b…

BACKGROUND: Afferent neuronal hypersensitization via P2X3 receptor signaling has been implicated as a driver of several disorders, including refractory chronic cough, endometriosis, diabetic neuropathic pain, and overactive bladder. Eliapix…

INTRODUCTION: The optimal dosage of recombinant human luteinizing hormone (r-hLH) and its impact on endometrial thickness (EMT) when administered alongside recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (r-hFSH) during controlled ovarian st…

BACKGROUND: The treatment for recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) has been addressed in international guidelines. However, limited studies have investigated the risk factors associated with pregnancy and live birth outcomes in patients with RPL …

RNA methylation is widespread in nature. Abnormal expression of proteins associated with RNA methylation is strongly associated with a number of human diseases including cancer. Increasing evidence suggests that targeting RNA methylation ho…

BACKGROUND: Subtle distal fallopian tube abnormalities are a group of diseases characterised by small variations in tubal anatomy. The clinical significance of these abnormalities need to be studied. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this multice…

OBJECTIVE: To clarify whether intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) affect endometrial receptivity (ER) on the day of ovulation and to compare patients with mild and moderate-severe adhesions. METHODS: This prospective cohort study included 592 in…

Regulated cell death (RCD) plays a fundamental role in placental development and tissue homeostasis. Placental development relies upon effective implantation and invasion of the maternal decidua by the trophoblast and an immune tolerant env…

BACKGROUND: Vitamin D binding protein (DBP) might increase substantially after ovarian stimulation and hence could be associated with IVF/ICSI outcomes because it determines the fraction of free bioavailable 25(OH) vitamin D. In this study,…
