BACKGROUND: This study investigates whether the timing of first sexual intercourse is associated with the risk of developing endometriosis and adenomyosis, aiming to shed light on early-life reproductive factors that may influence women's l…
ObjectiveTo evaluate whether vitamin D supplementation improves live birth rates in women with polycystic ovary syndrome undergoing in vitro fertilisation.DesignMulticentre, double blind, placebo controlled, randomised clinical trial.Settin…
OBJECTIVES: Acute pancreatitis, recurrent acute pancreatitis, and chronic pancreatitis are recognized as a continuum of pancreatic diseases. Recurrence increases the risk of progression to chronic pancreatitis. The aim of this study was to …
The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanism of action and correlation between transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) and β-catenin in pelvic organ prolapse (POP). The study compared vaginal wall tissues from two groups: 20 pat…
Air pollution has reproductive toxicity, while green space could lessen such harmful consequences. However, the current research on the link between air pollution/green space, and endometriosis remains scarce. Therefore, we investigated the…
Endometriosis is a complex, chronic inflammatory gynecological disorder with estrogen‑dependent characteristics that severely impairs the quality of life of women and potentially leads to infertility. However, its pathogenesis remains poorl…
BACKGROUND: Fibrogenesis is a common pathological feature of endometriotic lesions and contributes to the development of endometriosis-associated chronic pelvic pain and infertility. TGF-β is a critical factor in the induction of fibrogenes…
The cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway has been extensively documented since its discovery in 2013. The cGAS-STING signaling pathway is activated u…
BACKGROUND: The optimal surgical approach for hysterectomy in patients with complex large uteri remains controversial, particularly in those with uterine enlargement and obesity. This study aimed to compare perioperative outcomes and compli…
Endometriosis is a refractory estrogen-dependent gynecological disease in which ovarian endometriosis(OE) is the most common, and the main cell components are endometrial epithelial cells and stromal cells. However, constructing ectopic end…
BACKGROUND: At present, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the primary treatment for gallstone. Although the application of LC has been widespread in developed countries, the cost-effectiveness of LC in high-altitude, low-resource regions…
BACKGROUND: Researchers have explored machine learning (ML) in diagnosing endometriosis. However, systematic evidence on its diagnostic accuracy for endometriosis remains scarce. OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the performance of machi…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does frozen embryo transfer improve pregnancy outcomes compared with fresh embryo transfer in women with ovarian endometriosis (OEM) undergoing their first IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycle? DESIGN: A retrospect…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Peiyu Granules (PYG) compared with placebo on early miscarriage rates among women undergoing embryo transfer. METHODS: A double-blind, parallel-group randomized clinical trial between F…
The expression and function of the receptor are controlled by epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and noncoding RNAs. These modifications play a pivotal role in receptor activity and can lead to or exacerbate …
This study aimed to assess the causal relationship between lipidome and female reproductive diseases (FRDs) using an advanced series of Mendelian randomization (MR) methods. This study utilized genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary s…
As a common chronic disease, endometriosis (EMs) affects nearly 10% of women of childbearing age, may cause other complications such as infertility, and has a tendency to develop malignant tumors. Ferroptosis is a newly discovered apoptotic…
Formononetin (FMN) is a common natural metabolite that can be extracted and isolated from some common botanical drugs. In recent years, FMN has garnered increasing attention due to its beneficial biological activities. In this paper, we sys…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecological disease. Previous studies have explored relationships between endometriosis and the microbiota, but none have focused on differences in gut microbiota between early-stage and…
Background: Endometriosis (EM) is a prevalent and complex disease affecting women of reproductive age, with significant individual and societal burdens. Despite extensive research, the underlying etiology of EM remains poorly understood. Pr…
In addition to its classical function in regulating phosphorus and calcium equilibrium, the immunoregulatory effects of vitamin D (VD) have increasingly drawn attention in recent investigations. A deficiency of VD has been associated with m…
BACKGROUND: Advanced maternal age (AMA) is associated with increased infertility and poor outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF), with limited effective treatments available. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula Qiziyusi decocti…
BACKGROUND: High-intensity focused ultrasound ablation has emerged as a noninvasive therapeutic option for adenomyosis of the uterus. We studied a female with infertility patient to explore the application of in vitro fertilization combined…
BACKGROUND: Meigs syndrome is characterized by the association of a benign ovarian tumor, typically an ovarian fibroma, with pleural effusion and ascites. CASE SUMMARY: This report presents a case of a 54-year-old woman who was misdiagnose…
BACKGROUND: Culture-negative periprosthetic joint infections (CN-PJIs) represent a critical subtype of PJI, and their high prevalence poses substantial challenges for treatment. CN-PJI is commonly managed utilizing antibiotic combinations, …
