ObjectivesThe research aims to leverage machine learning techniques to better understand the diagnosis of myofascial pelvic pain syndrome (MPPS) and to develop useful tools for clinical practice.MethodsThis study retrospectively analyzed cl…

BackgroundStandardized residency training in obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) relies heavily on Case-Based Learning (CBL). Yet, manually curating high-quality teaching cases remains a labor-intensive burden.ObjectiveTo develop and evaluat…

Abstract Background: Catamenial pneumothorax is a rare form of spontaneous pneumothorax that occurs in reproductive-age women in temporal association with menstruation. It is the most common thoracic manifestation of endometriosis syndro…

Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging environmental pollutants, but evidence concerning their effects on endometrial injury and adverse pregnancy outcomes remains limited. Therefore, we employed the Targeted Risk Assessment of Environ…

BackgroundThe relationship between endometrial thickness and adverse pregnancy outcomes has garnered significant attention from researchers. The aim of this study was to investigates whether endometrial thickness (EMT) is a risk factor for …

Vasohibin-1 (VASH-1) is an endothelial protein that serves as a negative feedback regulator of angiogenesis. Through its microtubule carboxypeptidase activity, VASH-1 plays a key role in vascular homeostasis. While previous studies have inv…

This study aimed to investigate how levels of serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) on Day 7 of ovarian stimulation are related to the number of oocytes retrieved, and identify any cutoff or threshold point in protocols using gonadotropi…

BackgroundHomocysteine (Hcy) is a sulfur-containing intermediate metabolite during methionine metabolism. Studies indicate that individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have higher circulating Hcy levels relative to unaffected popu…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by ectopic endometrial growth. This study aimed to identify and analyze potential signatures of pyroptosis-related genes in EMs. METHODS: We conducted a compre…

BackgroundEndometrial receptivity in hormone replacement therapy-frozen embryo transfer (HRT-FET) cycles depends on a precisely coordinated estradiol-progesterone environment. An imbalance between estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P) before …

Metabolism-regulating microspheres have evolved from conventional drug carriers into active platforms capable of spatiotemporally reprogramming pathological metabolic networks. Chronic diseases are increasingly understood to be driven by me…

Endometrial receptivity within the window of implantation (WOI) has been increasingly recognized as an independent determinant of pregnancy outcome in assisted reproduction. Persistent recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is observed in a s…

BackgroundIntracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is performed in over half of assisted reproductive technology cycles globally; however, the optimal interval between oocyte denudation and sperm injection remains undefined in clinical guide…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the predictive value of endometrial and uterine artery blood flow parameters, combined with clinical indicators, for embryo implantation outcomes in PCOS patients undergoing IVF-ET across different BMI categories.Method…

This study investigated fertility-related quality of life among married women of reproductive age (20-45 years) with endometriosis-associated infertility, focusing on the mediating role of family resilience between infertility-related stres…

IntroductionHydrosalpinx is one of the common organic causes of infertility, and the accumulation of fluid in this condition can severely affect embryo implantation and development.Material and methodsWe collected fallopian tube fluid from …

Ovarian leiomyoma (OL) is an exceedingly rare benign tumor that originates from ovarian smooth muscle cells and accounts for approximately 0.5%-1% of all benign ovarian neoplasms. To date, around 100 cases have been documented worldwide. OL…

BACKGROUND: Excessive exposure to heavy metals has been linked to various health problems, including organ damage, neurological disorders, and reproductive and developmental abnormalities. However, the relationship between heavy metals expo…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine and metabolic disorder with unclear pathogenesis. Increasing evidence suggests that oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to PCOS development. Sirtuins (SIRTs), esp…

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between protein-rich foods, various nutritional supplements, and age of natural menopause and its symptoms.MethodsThis study was a large-scale cross-sectional survey. A multi-stage stratified random …

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) of the breast is a rare biphasic tumor composed of intermixed malignant epithelial and myoepithelial components. Breast epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma lacks therapeutic strategies due to its rari…

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a recognized global public health problem. However, there are still limitations in the available therapeutic approaches and a lack of clinically effective drugs. Therefore, an in-depth exploration of the seco…

IntroductionLow-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) is a rare malignant tumor of the uterus, characterized by slow growth. Early-stage LGESS is associated with favorable survival, but it has a high recurrence rate. The primary treatme…

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to compare oral estradiol valerate and estradiol transdermal gel for clinical pregnancy outcomes in patients undergoing frozen-thaw embryo transfer (FET).MethodsThis was a prospective study performed b…
