BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common disorder affecting the reproductive, endocrine, and metabolic systems in women. Dysfunction of granulosa cells (GCs) and imbalance of the immune microenvironment are key pathological …

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a key cellular mechanism that is important in the development of many diseases, including cancer. Since the discovery of the unfolded protein response (UPR), research has greatly improved our understandi…

The m5C modification is one of the widely occurring modifications on RNA. In recent years, m5C modification on RNA has increasingly become a focal point in cancer research. Nevertheless, investigating scientific and quantitative research on…

The immune system is a pivotal regulator of reproductive physiology, maintaining tissue homeostasis essential for successful pregnancy while contributing to infertility and reproductive disorders when dysregulated. Natural products represen…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the clinical predictors of achieving a clinical pregnancy differ between fresh and frozen embryo transfer cycles in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) undergoing their first ART treatment af…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the efficacy of novel embolic materials in the treatment of adenomyosis via partial embolization of uterine arteries. METHODS: From June 2023 to June 2025, we used gelatin sponge particles, liquid s…

Female reproductive tissues repeatedly undergo controlled inflammation, immune adaptation, and tissue repair. Interleukin-33 (IL-33) and its receptor suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) sit at the center of these processes, but their role…

Ferroptosis is a potential target for the treatment of endometriosis (EMs). The role of andrographolide (AP) in the ferroptosis has gradually attracted attention, but its mechanism of action in endometriosis has not been clarified. Here we …

PurposeThis study aims to create and validate a clinical prediction model to determine the optimal gonadotropin (Gn) starting dose in controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) protocols for normal ovarian response (NOR) patients undergoing their…

Mast cells (MCs) belong to the cell network that regulates uterine spiral artery remodeling (uSAR), a critical vascular adaptation supporting placental development and fetal growth. Our previous in vitro study demonstrated that human MCs pr…

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Modified Hupo San on reproductive hormone levels and microcirculation in patients with menstrual disorders of cold congelation and blood stasis pattern.MethodsA total of 102 patients from the gynecolog…

BackgroundUterine fibroids present significant obstetric challenges, particularly in late pregnancy. This study compared the outcomes of cesarean section combined with myomectomy (CS+M) versus cesarean section followed by elective myomectom…

ObjectiveTo explore the relapse - related factors of fertility preservation surgery for borderline ovarian tumors.MethodsPatients of childbearing age who underwent fertility preservation surgery for borderline ovarian tumors in Sheng jing H…

Protein O-GlcNAcylation is a post-translational modification coupled to cellular metabolic plasticity. Aberrant O-GlcNAcylation has been observed in many cancers including endometrial cancer (EC), a common malignancy in women. However, clin…

Hu sheep are renowned for their adaptation to high-temperature, humid environments and their high fecundity. Despite serving as the founder species for sheep breeding in China, the genetic mechanisms underlying these desirable traits and th…

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) involve in oocyte postovulatory aging, yet the mechanism of ROS accumulation is not fully understood. We explored iron metabolic status and its relationship with ROS in mouse oocytes during postovulatory aging …

Nanomaterials are increasingly applied in biomedicine and have significant potential in reproductive medicine. However, because they can impact germ cells, use of nanomaterials could represent a "double-edged sword", whose benefits must be …

BackgroundOpportunistic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) is recommended in women who have undergone a hysterectomy due to gynecological carcinomas and/or in women with genetic indications, especially for women who do not intend to conc…

BackgroundDifferent endometrial preparation protocols are used prior to frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). Optimization of endometrial preparation protocols is mandatory to improve live birth rate and obstetric and perinatal outcomes. In …

Performing robotic hysterectomy (RH) on large uteri is a significant challenge. This study aims to investigate the impact of various risk factors on surgical outcomes and to identify the most effective surgical approach for performing RH on…

The global prevalence of obesity continues to rise, posing a threat to health, especially among women, where obesity can lead to reproductive endocrine disorders. Adipose tissue interacts with endocrine hormones, including insulin, leptin, …

BACKGROUND: Tubal ectopic pregnancy (TEP) is a common and serious obstetric complication with unclear pathogenesis. This study aims to use single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze immune cell composition and functional changes in i…
