One of the critical challenges in assisted reproductive technology (ART) is the inadequacy of effective regulation of reactive oxygen species. Simultaneously, the endogenous antioxidant defense system plays a significant role in combating o…

BACKGROUND: Infertility represents a prevalent condition affecting the reproductive system. It has a global incidence of approximately 17.5%. Nutritional supplements are increasingly used as complementary therapy for female infertility, tho…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate various body fat indicators under weight management on the time to complete response (CR) in overweight patients undergoing fertility-sparing treatment for endometrial cancer (EC) or atypical hyperplasia (AEH). METHOD…

BACKGROUND: Urinary incontinence (UI) is commonly linked to pregnancy and obstetric factors, but the association between fetal birthweight and maternal UI remains contentious. This study investigates the association between fetal birthweigh…

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…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common benign gynecologic disease in women of reproductive age, and its manifestations remarkably decrease quality of life. Lactate, as a metabolite, exerts prominent effects across a wide range of biological …

BACKGROUND: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) currently lacks highly specific biomarkers for clinical screening. This study aimed to identify and validate novel auxiliary diagnostic markers for EOC. METHODS: Through integrated analysis of tr…

PURPOSE: Emerging evidence suggests that an abnormal endometrial microbiota may be a potential factor contributing to recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). This study aimed to characterize the endometrial microbiota in patients with RPL and to ex…

Primordial follicles form the non-renewable germline reserve in female mammals; their limited number is a key determinant of reproductive lifespan and is crucial for female fertility. Insufficient or parasomnia sleep is common in females, y…

Oxidative stress plays a central role in reproductive disorders, with food bioactive compounds offering therapeutic potential through their antioxidant properties. This review examines antioxidant active ingredients from plant-based foods a…

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have identified that exposure to heavy metals increases the prevalence of congenital heart defects (CHDs); however, limited information exists regarding the association between combined exposure to barium (Ba) a…

OBJECTIVES: To estimate the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) and its subtypes among nulliparous Chinese women with associated risk factors. The prevalence of UI among those living in urban or rural communities was also analysed with …

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to explore potential differences in efficacy between vaginal progesterone (VPG) and VPG + oral progesterone (OPG) for luteal-phase support in hormone replacement therapy-frozen embryo transfer (HRT-FET) cycles. …

Endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a biological process in which endothelial cells lose intercellular junctions and endothelial characteristics under specific pathophysiological stimuli and acquire mesenchymal traits. It plays a …

Fertility in women decreases with age, but the molecular basis for age-related, unexplained infertility remains elusive. Here, we reveal distinct transcriptome changes in oocytes and surrounding cumulus cells from women in their mid-thirtie…

The hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS) family participates in key physiological processes such as follicular development, oocyte maturation, ovulation, and embryo implantation by regulating the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, and plays an importa…

Ovarian cancer(OC) is the second most common gynecological malignancy worldwide. While traditional treatments such as cytoreductive surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted drugs have made progress, patients with advanced disease still face high…

This review examines the neurobiological mechanisms by which plant-derived compounds influence women's reproductive health through the neuroendocrine-reproductive axis. Gynecological disorders frequently present with neurological manifestat…

BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress and metabolic disorders significantly contribute to the development of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Heme oxygenase-1 (HMOX1) plays a key role in the degradation of heme and the regulation of oxidative str…

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic estrogen-dependent gynecological disease that affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is a leading cause of infertility worldwide. In addition to reproductive dysfunction, EM is associated …

BACKGROUND: Cancer-derived exosomes contribute significantly in intracellular communication, particularly during tumorigenesis. Here, we aimed to identify two immune-related ovarian cancer-derived exosomes (IOCEs) subgroups in ovarian cance…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer (OC) is a gynecological malignancy tumor with high recurrence and mortality rates. Programmed cell death (PCD) is an essential regulator in cancer metabolism, whose functions are still unknown in OC. Therefore, it…

Round ligament varicosities (RLV) are a very rare cause of an inguinal mass, which is very similar to an inguinal hernia, and should be taken seriously by women, especially in mid-pregnancy. Ultrasound can confirm the diagnosis of the RLV a…

OBJECTIVES: Thyroid dysfunction is commonly associated with the risk of infertility in both females and males. However, recent randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that thyroid function levels in females are not significantly rela…

BACKGROUND: Stroke is a devastating global health issue, with high mortality and disability rates. The increasing prevalence of male infertility among reproductive-aged men has become a growing concern worldwide. However, the relationship b…
