Dietary factors have recently been recognized as potentially influential in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EM), yet studies on the causal relationship between dietary preferences and EM are limited. The present study aimed to explore th…

Endometrium, the lining of the uterus, changes dynamically in response to fluctuations in ovarian hormones. The proper endocrine environment regulates endometrial functions: menstruation and supporting pregnancy. Obesity is closely related …

Objective: To compare the efficacy of dienogest (DNG) and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in the treatment of intrinsic and extrinsic subtypes of adenomyosis. Methods: Totally 232 patients were enrolled in the study w…

ABSTRACT: In order to determine the number of eggs to be retrieved to maximize live birth outcomes, this study aimed to develop a clinical prediction model that would identify important predictors of cumulative live birth rate after intracy…

BACKGROUND: Psoriasis is closely associated with metabolic health. The Cardiometabolic Index (CMI) is an innovative and easily obtainable metric employed to assess cardiometabolic health. This study aims to examine the possible relationship…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs), characterized by ectopic endometrial growth causing infertility. Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is an important cellular defense mechanism. However, the correlation between ERS and EMs remains unclear. W…

Diagnosis of endometriosis faces significant challenges including diagnostic delay and reliance on invasive procedures. Deep endometriosis (DE) poses additional difficulties in non-invasive diagnosis due to its subtle and complex imaging fe…

BACKGROUND: Total fertilization failure (TFF) or near TFF may lead to cycle cancellation, which is a highly frustrating experience for patients, especially those who have undergone multiple attempts. Early rescue intracytoplasmic sperm inje…

Study questionDoes the type of embryo culture medium affect the birthweight of newborns conceived by ART?Summary answerAfter fresh embryo transfers, singleton newborns in the G5 and HTF groups exhibited higher birthweight z-scores and incre…

PURPOSE: Maternal age-related fertility decline is considered to be directly attributed to either embryonic or endometrial factors. Aneuploidy, as the dominant defect in aging embryos, has long diverted attention away from the effects of en…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Primary dysmenorrhea carries substantial medical, social, and economic burdens, leading many patients to seek low-risk complementary and alternative therapies, such as acupuncture. Myofascial trigger point dry need…

PURPOSE: To compare pregnancy outcomes of four endometrial preparation methods prior to frozen embryo transfer (FET). METHODS: A total of 3,030 programmed cycles were analyzed: 302 with natural cycle (NC), 131 with ovulation induction (OI)…

IN BRIEF: Preeclampsia is a severe pregnancy-related complication that can result in adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Current therapeutic options for preeclampsia remain limited. This study demonstrates that epicatechin can inhibit pyro…

Fungal biofilms, as self-produced extracellular polymeric substances that resist antifungal agents and immune defense, represent a major cause of treatment failure and recurrent infections. Therefore, it is of great importance to eradicate …

Aberrant endometrial collagen I deposition during the implantation window impairs endometrial stromal cell (ESC) decidualization, which may contribute to lower pregnancy rate in endometriosis (EMs) patients with in vitro fertilization (IVF)…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecological condition marked by the presence of tissue similar to the endometrium grows outside the uterus, often leading pelvic pain and infertility. This study explores how enhancer of zeste homol…

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…

Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. Central to its pathophysiology, peritoneal CD14ʰⁱ macrophages exhibit a pro-EMS phenotype and drive disease …

Vaginitis is the most common problem afflicting women of childbearing age. However, the underlying etiological factors remain poorly understood, leading to recurrent vaginitis and constraining clinical management. Here, we explored whether …

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic disease that can cause pain and infertility in patients. As is well known, immune cell infiltrations (ICIs) play important roles in the pathogenesis of EM. However, the pathogenesis and biomarkers of EM that …

Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a nuclear factor and member of the IL-1 cytokine family. IL-33 is mainly expressed by epithelial and endothelial cells and exerts its function through interaction with various immune cells, and binding to its recep…

INTRODUCTION: Although advanced paternal age (APA) is increasingly scrutinized in reproductive medicine, its independent impact on embryo development and clinical outcomes remains contentious, particularly when controlling for maternal age …

Abstract Objective: Preserving ovarian reserve function during single-port laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is crucial for women of reproductive age. This study aimed to evaluate the hemostatic efficacy and impact on ovarian reserve of thre…

Infected endometrioma, which is the superimposed infection and abscess formation of ovarian endometrioma, is increasingly understood to be a distinct clinical entity from tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA). The pathophysiology of infected endometri…
