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 explore the single and combined therapeutic effects of warm silver needle acupuncture and myofascial trigger point (MTrP) intervention on chronic pelvic pain (CPP). METHODS: CPP patients underwent treatment with warm silver n…

Ovarian cancer remains one of the most lethal gynecologic malignancies, often marked by late-stage diagnosis and resistance to conventional therapies. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have significantly advanced treatment, par…

Ferredoxins (FDXs) are evolutionarily conserved iron-sulfur (Fe-S) proteins that serve as master regulators of mitochondrial redox homeostasis, governing critical processes including electron transfer, energy metabolism, Fe-S cluster biogen…

ABSTRACT Background Premenstrual disorders (PMDs) are characterized by affective and physical symptoms before menses, likely due to abnormal sensitivity to normal hormone fluctuations. While sizable heritability has been indicated in twin s…

BACKGROUND Primary retroperitoneal tumors (PRTs) are uncommon, with retroperitoneal dermoid cysts being particularly rare. The cystic cavity of mature cystic teratomas (dermoid cysts) is lined with squamous epithelium and primarily filled w…

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown a correlation between ABO blood type and the occurrence of certain diseases. However, there is limited research on the potential association between ABO blood group and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS…

This review explores the non-invasive applications of Raman spectroscopy in assisted reproductive technology (ART). Raman spectroscopy, a powerful tool for analyzing biological samples, has shown great potential in enhancing ART outcomes th…

Background: Despite significant advances in assisted reproductive technology (ART), disparities in clinical outcomes persist. While patient-related factors are well-studied, the role of partner ethnicity remains understudied. We hypothesize…

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is one of the most common diseases contributing to declining fertility globally. Autoimmune dysregulation has been implicated in POI, but the role of B cell and its subsets in immune dysregulation in PO…

ObjectiveTo assess the efficacy of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) compared to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) alone in couples undergoing ICSI treatment because of severe male infertility.DesignMulticentre,…

IntroductionThe incidence of early-onset liver cancer (EOLC) has been increasing in many countries, yet evidence on its etiology remains limited, particularly outside the Asian population. This case-control study explores the comorbidity pa…

BACKGROUND: There are scarce data on risk factors for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) in Asian populations. Our goal was to advance knowledge on reproductive -related risk factors for EOC in a large population of Asian women. METHODS: This…

STUDY QUESTION: What are the unrecognized risk factors for recurrent implantation failure (RIF) as defined in the ESHRE recommendation? SUMMARY ANSWER: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is the strongest predictor for RIF, followed by chronic en…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that causes severe pain and infertility. However, the available treatments for EMS are limited. SCM-198, a synthetic form of leonurine, possesses various abilities, including anti-inflammatory…

In this comprehensive review, we delve into the evolution of drug delivery systems in reproductive medicine with a focus on the emerging role of exosomes, a class of extracellular vesicles. Exosomes offer unique advantages in overcoming the…

BACKGROUND: Dysmenorrhea, a common concern among female college students, is closely linked to anxiety and depression, particularly during the early menstrual phase (the first one to two days of menstruation), when cramping pain in the lowe…

Ranking second out of new cancer cases, breast cancer (BRCA) is the leading cause of cancerous death among women globally. Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3), as the well-known N6‑methyladenosine (m6A) "writer" with catalytic function, regul…

BACKGROUND: Current ultrasound-based screening for endometrial cancer (EC) primarily relies on endometrial thickness (ET) and morphological evaluation, which suffer from low specificity and high interobserver variability. This study aimed t…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the necessity of long-term pharmacological management following total hysterectomy for adenomyosis. METHODS: A case of ureteral endometriosis identified over one year after laparoscopic total hysterectomy and bilatera…

OBJECTIVE: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa), combined with other auxiliary treatments, can improve pregnancy outcomes in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). This research investigated the effect of acupuncture co…

Gallbladder polyps are a common biliary tract disease whose treatment options have yet to be fully established. The indication of "polyps ≥ 10 mm in diameter" for cholecystectomy increases the possibility of gallbladder excision due to beni…

BACKGROUND: The effects of female chromosomal polymorphisms (FCPs) on various aspects of reproductive health have been investigated, yet the findings are frequently inconsistent. This study aims to clarify the role of FCPs on the outcomes o…

In this multicenter, non-inferiority, randomized trial, we randomly assigned 992 women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) with a good prognosis (aged 20-40, ≥3 transferrable cleavage-stage embryos) to strategies of blastocyst-stage (n …

P2X receptors, a subfamily of ligand-gated ion channels activated by extracellular ATP, are implicated in various physiopathological processes, including inflammation, pain perception, and immune and respiratory regulations. Structural dete…
