OBJECTIVE: There is currently no consensus on the risk factors for recurrent ovarian endometrioma after surgery. This study aimed to identify independent risk factors and develop a clinical nomogram to predict postoperative recurrence. MET…

BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer (CC) is a significant global health threat for women worldwide. Although IKBIP has been recognized as an oncogene, little is known about its contribution to CC. Therefore, we aimed to analyze IKBIP expression, it…

BackgroundOvarian cancer is a major female reproductive health issue with heterogeneous biological features on its subtypes, which may require different therapeutic strategies. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists were reporte…

IntroductionUlcerative colitis (UC) is a lifelong, chronic inflammatory disorder, characterized by recurrent and diffuse inflammation of the rectal and colonic mucosa. Increasing evidence suggests that impaired mitophagy contributes to immu…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a gynecological inflammatory disease that depends on estrogen. Its chief symptoms include dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, reduced fertility, and pelvic masses. Although various hormonal therapies and surgical treat…

Objective: To develop and compare a random survival forest (RSF) model and a Cox regression model-for predicting postoperative recurrence in patients with ovarian endometrioma. Methods: The primary outcomes of the study were the recurrence …

Fisetin, a flavonoid widely present in natural plants, exhibits diverse pharmacological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and anti-aging effects. Its protective roles within the mammalian reproductive syst…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the safety and efficacy of percutaneous intrauterine hydrodissection as a protective technique during microwave ablation (MWA) of uterine fibroids adjacent to the endometrium. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective ana…

The high rate of unexplained female infertility significantly affects public health and women's mental well-being. Research on dietary nutrients' impact on infertility often overlooks vitamin B2. Exploring this vitamin's role could be cruci…

This study aimed to explore the causal link between immunophenotypes and adenomyosis using Mendelian randomization (MR). We conducted a bidirectional MR analysis on 731 immunophenotypes, employing inverse-variance weighted (IVW) as the prim…

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…

AbstractThe production of high-quality oocytes requires precisely orchestrated intercellular communication. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived nanoparticles that play a vital role in the transfer of bioactive molecules, which has…

Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation, is closely associated with mitochondrial damage, diminished glutathione peroxidase 4 activity, dysfunction of the System Xc- cystine/glutamate antipor…

Pain, an unpleasant but essential feeling for life, affects more than 20% of the global population and burdens health and the economy. Due to the lack of understanding of the exact fundamental mechanism, the existing therapeutic strategies …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs), a common gynecological disorder, involves complex molecular mechanisms. Metabolic reprogramming (MR) has been recognized as a hallmark of EMs, contributing to lesion survival and immune microenvironment remo…

ObjectivePelvic organ prolapse (POP) present a significant global health burden, yet effective therapeutic targets remain limited. This study aims to identify potential disease-modifying agents for POP and provide insights to guide the deve…

Microscopic cell classification is a fundamental challenge in both clinical diagnosis and biological research. However, existing methods still struggle with the complexity and morphological diversity of cellular images, leading to limited a…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between patient primary language and route of hysterectomy. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's State Inpatient Database (SID) an…

One of the functions of organism cells is to maintain energy homeostasis to promote metabolism and adapt to the environment. The 3 major pathways of cellular energy metabolism are glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and oxidativ…

Cholecystectomy is often excessively utilized in the management of gallbladder polyps. It is crucial to effectively differentiate between adenomatous and cholesterol polyps to reduce unnecessary cholecystectomies. This study aimed to invest…

BackgroundThe effect of pre-pregnancy intrauterine device (IUD) use on subsequent preterm birth (PTB) remains unclear. We aim to investigate the association between IUD use before pregnancy and subsequent PTB.MethodsA total of 240,437 women…

The VDR and MTHFR polymorphisms have been linked to many gynecological and obstetrical diseases. However, there is still a pressing need for a systematic review and meta-analysis to synthesize the current evidence on the association between…

Endometriosis-associated ovarian carcinoma (EAOC) predominantly arises from the malignant transformation of endometriomas, yet the mechanism is incompletely defined. Spatial transcriptomic analysis of human specimens of normal endometrium, …
