BACKGROUND: Endometrial receptivity (ER) is critical for embryo implantation, and its impairment is a major contributor to infertility. Current ER evaluation methods are invasive and poorly standardized. Shear wave elastography (SWE) offers…
INTRODUCTION: The female reproductive system undergoes hormone-driven cyclical changes during the menstrual cycle and further alterations after menopause. However, the impact of these changes on imaging parameters remains unclear. This stud…
OBJECTIVE: Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common gynecologic malignancy globally, but the role of the intratumoral microbiome remains poorly defined. While microbial dysbiosis is increasingly linked to cancer, the composition, function, and c…
Macrophages, key players in the immune system, exhibit remarkable plasticity, polarizing into pro-inflammatory (M1) or anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotypes in response to microenvironmental cues. This functional dichotomy is pivotal in the pat…
Endometrial polyps (EPs) are common uterine lesions associated with abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility, yet their pathogenesis remains poorly defined. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of normal endometrium, para-polyp, a…
Gallbladder carcinoma, among the most prevalent malignancies of the biliary system, often presents with insidious early symptoms. Delayed diagnosis of incidental gallbladder carcinoma frequently leads to therapeutic delays, significantly co…
BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have suggested that assessing endometrial and subendometrial blood flow can contribute to the evaluation of endometrial receptivity. However, there remains a lack of unified expert consensus regarding the assess…
Oxidative stress-induced endometrial injury has been shown to contribute to infertility; however, effective strategies that can simultaneously scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and restore mitochondrial and antioxidant homeostasis rema…
BACKGROUND: Earlier detection is strongly associated with increased survival for women with ovarian cancer. Unfortunately, current screening strategies, employing serial serum or ultrasound assessments, lack adequate sensitivity and specifi…
BACKGROUND: Dysmenorrhea is a cramping pain during menstrual period and the leading cause for recurrent short-term school absenteeism among adolescent girls. However, evidence on the factors associated with the occurrence of dysmenorrhea, s…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis (AM) is a common gynecological disorder frequently observed in women of reproductive age. It is characterized by the invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium, often manifesting as secondary dysme…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis (AM) is a common benign gynecological disease, defined by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma deep within the myometrium, which is associated with hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the adjacent myometrium. It …
Early detection and effective chemotherapy for ovarian cancer, a serious gynecological malignancy, require further progress. This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism of ATPase H+-Transporting V1 Subunit B1 (ATP6V1B1) in ovari…
OBJECTIVE: To compare the diagnostic performance of an exosomal ovarian cancer assay (chemiluminescence) with serum CA125 for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), focusing on sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negati…
Endometriosis, a complex gynecological disorder characterized by aberrant growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, poses a significant challenge to women's health. Emerging evidence implicates environmental pollutants, parti…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the perioperative outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) and dual-port laparoscopic myomectomy in patients with solitary uterine fibroids. METHODS: This retrospective observational st…
OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical outcome of freeze-thawed embryo transfer at different embryonic development days in whole embryo freezing patients of different ages. METHODS: This was a retrospective study. Collected clinical data of 55…
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Conventional hormonal treatments for endometriosis (EMs) are often associated with significant side effects. In recent years, many clinical trials and studies have highlighted the remarkable efficacy of Chine…
OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcomes of hysterectomy performed via traditional inpatient procedure versus day-care procedure with a focus on surgical time, post-operative recovery, costs, and patient satisfaction, using propensity score match…
Infertility poses considerable challenges to both the endocrine system and psychological well-being of affected women. In particular, those undergoing Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) confront not only physiological demands but also s…
BACKGROUND: Different endometrial preparation protocols are used prior to frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). Optimization of endometrial preparation protocols is mandatory to improve live birth rate and obstetric and perinatal outcomes. I…
BACKGROUND: Gastric-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (G-EAC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of cervical cancer which is not associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection but has poor prognosis because of its high invasiveness and r…
Intrauterine adhesions (IUA), characterized by endometrial fibrosis, pose a serious threat to women's reproductive health, yet their molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we use single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to profi…
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…
OBJECTIVE: Oral squamous cell carcinoma remains difficult to treat because of its marked tumor heterogeneity, highlighting the need to identify molecular subtypes with distinct therapeutic vulnerabilities. This study aimed to comprehensivel…
