PurposeVaginal delivery is the most common mode of childbirth, and women often experience severe uterine contraction pain (UCP) for several days postpartum, which can significantly impair postpartum recovery. Acupuncture has proven efficacy…

BACKGROUND: Trends toward earlier age at menarche, the starting point in women’s reproductive lifespan, have been observed globally. Whether an earlier age at menarche influences Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), a clinical indicator of ovarian…

BackgroundPreeclampsia (PE) is a significant complication of pregnancy, and its association with in vitro fertilization (IVF) remains unclear, especially across different demographic groups.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective multicenter co…

Precise regulation of alternative splicing (AS) of maternal mRNAs is crucial for maintaining mRNA homeostasis and for acquiring oocyte competence. However, the regulatory factors and mechanisms of AS regulating oocyte competence and human f…

BackgroundVaricocoele is a common cause of male infertility, affecting spermatogenesis through increased testicular temperature, venous stasis, and oxidative stress. Microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy improves semen quality, whereas …

The relationship between dietary patterns aligned with the EAT-Lancet reference diet, which promotes both human and planetary health, and female infertility remains unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the association between adheren…

The aim of this study was to detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the peripheral blood of patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) using a CTCs sorting technique and to assess the association between CTC counts and patient prognosis. Epit…

BACKGROUND: Eosinophilic enteritis presenting primarily with small bowel obstruction is challenging to diagnose. This article reports a case of eosinophilic enteritis localized in the upper ileum, manifesting as low small bowel obstruction,…

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous ovarian endometrioma rupture typically presents with acute abdominal pain, a condition often complicated by tissue edema and pelvic adhesions that increase surgical difficulty. This study aims to evaluate the impact …

Abstract Purpose Endometriosis is a common chronic inflammatory gynaecological condition characterised by the abnormal presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Different risk factors for endometriosis have been proposed, with so…

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of triptorelin acetate microspheres for injection compared with triptorelin acetate for injection in the treatment of endometriosis. Methods: A total of 392 patients with endometriosis were pro…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic enigmatic gynecological disorder which pathogenesis have not been fully elucidated. Exosomes have been proven to participate in endometriosis. However, the role of exosomes in the pathogenesis of…

Exposure to harmful environments during pregnancy and maternal nutritional status are key factors that affect offspring development; however, the underlying mechanisms of maternal-fetal interaction remain to be elucidated. In recent years, …

Oocyte/embryo defects can result in oocyte maturation arrest, fertilization failure, embryonic arrest, and infertility as well as recurrent in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) failures. However, the genet…

Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder affecting up to 10% of women of reproductive age, and the absence of reliable noninvasive diagnostic tools contributes to delayed diagnosis and disease progression. To identify potentia…

Blood-based liquid biopsies hold transformative potential for non-invasive cancer management, but current approaches relying on rare circulating tumor components limit their broad clinical utility. Platelets, abundant in blood and mediating…

This case explored a novel surgical method to fix levonorgestrel 52-mg intrauterine devices in patients with adenomyosis and uterine septum. The procedure is convenient and feasible, and successfully applied the technique in a 43-year-old p…

BACKGROUND: Serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) hormone is a well-established biomarker used for pregnancy monitoring and prognosis in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. After embryo transfer, a high serum β-hCG level with a p…

BackgroundSalpingitis is a leading cause of female infertility and ectopic pregnancy worldwide. Despite advances in reproductive medicine, its early diagnosis and effective prevention of long-term sequelae remain challenging due to its ofte…

Ovarian cancer (OC) ranks among the most prevalent malignant tumors in women, contributing significantly to mortality rates. This disease exhibits considerable heterogeneity, characterized by intricate molecular and genetic alterations. Fer…

This narrative review synthesizes the latest advances in nano-diagnostic and therapeutic reagents for acute pancreatitis (AP), based on peer-reviewed experimental and preclinical studies published in recent years. AP endangers life through …

Clinical application of mesenchymal stem cells for endometrial repair has been hampered by variability in cell quality, large-scale production, and uncertainty regarding the optimal delivery route. In this study, we investigated the therape…

Infertility affects ~1 in 6 people of reproductive age and remains difficult to treat because causes are heterogeneous and diagnostics are incomplete. Recent evidence reframes the female reproductive tract as a low-biomass but biologically …
