OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of Cai's Gynecology Chronic Pelvic Formula combined with acupuncture in managing chronic pelvic pain (CPP) secondary to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) sequelae, and its effect on recurrence. METHODS: = 1…

BackgroundPreimplantation embryos in vivo are exposed to various growth factors in the female reproductive tract that are absent in in vitro embryo culture media. Cell-free fat extract exerts antioxidant, anti-ageing, and ovarian function-p…

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a most serious type of hemorrhagic stroke with a continuously rising incidence globally, without effective cure available. The underlying mechanisms driving brain injury are complex and include inflammation…

BackgroundCombined oral contraceptives (COCs) can relieve dysmenorrhea, but utilization is low in Chinese women. This systematic literature review was conducted to summarize the design of clinical studies and the effectiveness and safety of…

BACKGROUND: Deep infiltrating endometriosis is a subtype of endometriosis. A case of retroperitoneal endometriosis surrounding the ureter and forming a pelvic mass is relatively rare. CASE PRESENTATION: A 26-year-old woman was admitted to …

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to develop a machine learning-based predictive model for patients with endometriosis, with the goal of precisely identifying key factors and reliable predictive markers that influence live birth outcomes following…

In clinical drug development, two fundamental questions must be addressed: what is the success rate of drugs in clinical trial; how does such rate change over time. Here, a dynamic strategy for calculating clinical trial success rate (ClinS…

IntroductionThin endometrium poses a major therapeutic challenge in assisted reproductive technologies by compromising pregnancy success and live birth outcomes. A substantial proportion of patients remain refractory to existing therapies. …

BackgroundThis study aimed to observe the effect of dexmedetomidine on the median effective concentration (EC50) of ropivacaine for postoperative analgesia in ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block.MethodsPatients undergoing el…

BackgroundThis phase 2 trial comprised dose exploration (stage 1) and dose confirmation stages (stage 2) to determine the safety and efficacy of HSK21542 in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery.MethodsIn stage 1, patients were…

BackgroundOxidative stress (OS) is a significant challenge in the in vitro embryo culture of patients of advanced age. The Erzhi Tiangui (EZTG) formula has been shown to alleviate OS-induced apoptosis in granulosa cells (GCs) of patients un…

Introduction and hypothesisThe objective was to investigate the expressions and significance of IGF-1, pAKT, pS6, and type I and type III collagens in uterosacral ligaments of patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP).MethodsA total of 38 p…

ObjectiveTo study the correlation between anti-Müllerian hormone levels and pregnancy outcomes after in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, which remains controversial.MethodsThis re…

Background: Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the female reproductive system. The oxidative balance score (OBS) is a new measure for assessing the balance between antioxidant and pro-oxidative factors in diet and lifestyle. However, …

BackgroundEpithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) currently lacks highly specific biomarkers for clinical screening. This study aimed to identify and validate novel auxiliary diagnostic markers for EOC.MethodsThrough integrated analysis of transcri…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder with unclear molecular mechanisms. Ferroptosis, a regulated iron-dependent cell death, may play a key role, yet the specific genes involved remain underexplored. METHODS: Ferropto…

BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis (AP) can be mild and self-limited, but it can also become severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and lead to multi-organ dysfunction. It is still difficult to identify patients who may develop severe disease at an ea…

RationaleOvarian cystic tumors are common in adult women. However, cases of ovarian cystic tumors approximately 30 cm in diameter are rarely reported in adult women and even rarer in children. Here, we report a rare case of a giant ovarian …

BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer (OC) is highly lethal, largely due to late diagnosis and chemoresistance. Endometriosis (EM) increases the risk of specific OC subtypes, but the molecular connection between the two diseases is still unclear. m6A …

RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the lipidomic alterations in the myometrial tissue from adenomyotic lesions? DESIGN: This was a two-centre, prospective, observational study conducted between July 2023 and June 2024. Forty-four premenopausal pa…

Endometriosis, a gynecological disorder marked by pelvic pain and infertility, has its pathogenesis and pathophysiology significantly influenced by epigenetics, as these factors have been well characterized. However, the role of RNA-mediate…

We compared ovarian cancer incidence between women with and without an index irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) diagnosis using administrative claims data. Risk of ovarian cancer was higher at 3 (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.71, 95% CI: 1.08-2.70, p =…

Tubal ciliary movement is one of the essential transport mechanisms for female fertility, playing a key role in facilitating oocyte pickup and transporting the fertilized ovum. This movement is mediated by multiciliated cells and regulated …
