BACKGROUND: With the increasing incidence of obesity and the childbearing-age delay among women, a debate over obesity's impacts on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes becomes hot. The potential negative effects of obesity and aging on fertilit…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disease in women. Hyperandrogenaemia (HA) and insulin resistance (IR) are the basic pathophysiological characteristics of PCOS. The aetiology of PCOS has not…

To evaluate the repeatability of a novel automated technique called Smart ERA (Smart Endometrial Receptivity Analysis) for the automated segmentation and volume calculation of the endometrium in patients with normal uteri,, and to compare t…

INTRODUCTION: Apoptosis and chronic inflammation are the main phenotypes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) pathogenesis. Cigarette smoke exposure is the leading risk factor for COPD, which causes aberrant airway epithelial str…

OBJECTIVE: This study explores the causal relationship between endometriosis and pelvic inflammatory diseases (PID). METHODS: The study utilized genome-wide association study (GWAS) datasets for endometriosis ("finn-b-N14_ENDOMETRIOSIS") a…

INTRODUCTION: The present study presents the development and validation of a clinical prediction model using random survival forest (RSF) and stepwise Cox regression, aiming to predict the probability of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) pr…

OBJECTIVE: Infertility remains a significant global burden over the years. Reproductive surgery is an effective strategy for infertile women. Early prediction of spontaneous pregnancy after reproductive surgery is of high interest for the p…

Pterostilbene (PST) is a naturally derived stilbene compound in grapes, blueberries, and other fruits. It is also a natural dietary compound with a wide range of biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and s…

PURPOSE: This study aims to create and validate a clinical model that predict the probability of blastocyst formation in IVF/ICSI-ET cycles. METHODS: This study employed a retrospective methodology, gathering data from 4961 cleavage-stage …

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of coils plus glue (CPG) in slope embankment technology vs coils plus sclerosant (CPS) in treating reflux-type pelvic venous disorders. METHODS: The analysis included pat…

BACKGROUND: Recent evidence suggests a crucial biological role for Circular RNAs (circRNAs) in keloid diseases, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study explored the biological effects and molecular mechanisms of hsa_circ_00…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the embryological and pregnancy outcomes of women who failed in their first IVF treatment if they attempted a second cycle. METHODS: For evaluating the embryological outcomes, the study cohort included 1,227 women who …

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to investigate the glycolytic activity of adenomyosis, which is characterized by malignant biological behaviors including abnormal cell proliferation, migration, invasion, cell regulation, and epi…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder and metabolic abnormality disease that mainly affects women of reproductive age. LINC00173, a novel long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), has emerged as an important factor in the de…

BACKGROUND: Surgery for adnexal mass does occur in pregnant women and therefore the choice of surgery during pregnancy needs to be carefully considered and studied. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of Laparo-endoscopi…

Introduction: Endometriosis (EMS) is characterized as a prevalent gynecological inflammatory disorder marked by the existence of endometrial tissues situated beyond the uterus. This condition leads to persistent pelvic pain and may contribu…

OBJECTIVE: The incidence of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is increasing annually. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic mechanisms of Yikang Decoction (YKD) in the treatment of PCOS through the integration of GEO datasets, netwo…

INTRODUCTION: Progestin, commonly used in oral contraception and preventing preterm birth, elicits various off-target side effects on brain and gastrointestinal (GI) functions, yet the precise mechanisms remain elusive. This study aims to p…

Abstract Background Previous studies have reported an association between gut microbial dysbiosis and ovarian diseases, however, it is not clear whether a causal association exists. Methods Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis …

BACKGROUND: An imbalance of the pro-oxidant and antioxidant profiles in the body contributes to the development of diseases, including female infertility. METHODS: In this study, we performed a secondary analysis of the National Health and…

OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of endometrial ablation with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for symptom relief in women with adenomyosis. METHODS: Between July 2014 and July 2020, 167 patie…

Inflammation is an important immune response of the body. It is a physiological process of self-repair and defense against pathogens taken up by biological tissues when stimulated by damage factors such as trauma and infection. Inflammation…
