OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of bisphosphonates on surgical site infection (SSI) and their safety in postmenopausal women undergoing Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF). METHODS: This was a single-center retrospective coh…

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the immune cell and hormonal profile of menstrual effluent compared with paired peripheral blood. DESIGN: This descriptive, cross-sectional study collected menstrual effluent and processed it to isolate cellular …

Endometriosis (EM) is an intractable gynecological condition with uncertain etiology. Gut microbiota have been increasingly implicated in EM, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we identify a gut microbe-metabolite-uterus ax…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disorder for which metabolic reprogramming has emerged as a central pathological feature. Driven by genetic, epigenetic, and microenvironmental stressors, ectopic…

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a highly prevalent chronic degenerative joint disorder characterized by progressive articular cartilage degeneration, chondrocyte death, and extracellular matrix degradation. Accumulating evidence indicates that…

Abstract Background The current study investigated the correlation between the uterine corpus flexion angle (UCFA) and the severity of endometriosis, evaluated its clinical utility as a novel objective sonographic parameter, and provided …

BACKGROUND: To explore the initial clinical feasibility and preliminary surgical safety of transvaginal four-wall directional in-bag morcellation for extracting exceedingly large uteri during laparoscopic total hysterectomy (TLH), aiming to…

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation modification have recently been suggested as potential functional modulators in ovarian endometriosis, however, the function and mechanism of m6A-modified lncRNA in ovaria…

The 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 gained …

OBJECTIVE: IVF/ICSI is associated with an increased risk of placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAS). Invasive PAS can result in significant adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. This study investigates the impact of IVF/ICSI on the severit…

The glucose metabolism homeostasis in the follicular fluid microenvironment plays an important role in follicular maturation and ovulation, and excessively high or low glucose concentrations have adverse effects on the differentiation of fo…

Regulated cell death (RCD) is a fundamental biological process essential for tissue homeostasis and disease regulation. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that RCD plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of uterine endometrial diseases, …

Menstruation is a key indicator of female reproductive health, yet clinical features and underlying mechanisms associated with menstrual changes following the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection remain unclear. Here, we recruited …

UNLABELLED: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by pelvic pain and infertility, with oxidative stress playing a key role in its pathogenesis. Although antioxidant supplementation has been proposed as a potential ad…

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…

The endometrium undergoes a series of precise monthly changes under the regulation of dynamic levels of ovarian hormones that are characterized by repeated shedding and subsequent regeneration without scarring. This provides the potential f…

BACKGROUND/AIM: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a common gynecological condition in women with multifactorial etiology. Some studies have revealed that patients with CPP have the same structural and functional changes in the pain matrix in the…

Endometriosis (EMT) -related infertility has been a challenge for clinical research. Many studies have confirmed that abnormal alterations in the immune microenvironment and glycolysis are instrumental in causing EMT-related infertility. Re…

Cystic adenomyosis is a rare type of adenomyosis. The main clinical manifestation of uterine cystic adenomyoma is severe dysmenorrhoea, and the condition can be diagnosed by relevant clinical examination. The preferred treatment, with a goo…

OBJECTIVE: To exploit the combination diagnostic performance of serum microRNA-134-5p (miR-134-5p) and color Doppler ultrasound in patients with endometriosis patients. METHODS: Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) an…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of Shixiao Huoxue Decoction on pain and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-8 levels in patients with adenomyosis. METHODS: A total of 65 patients with adenomyosis admitted to South District …

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) is a major molecular mediator of the hypoxic response. In the endometrium, local hypoxic conditions induced by hormonal fluctuations and endometrial vascular remodeling contribute to the production …

The endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) plays a notable role in pathological vascular remodeling. Emerging evidence indicated that long non-coding RNA-regulator of reprogramming (linc-ROR) can p…

BACKGROUND: Abnormal stromal-epithelial cell communication is a pathogenic mechanism in endometriosis, and metformin can modulate it. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP1) plays a role in endometriosis, but the exact mechani…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Racial and ethnic disparities in access to minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and the rate of surgical complications in minority groups remain profoundly underinvestigated. This meta-analysis aims to compare the rat…
