Uterine infertility is a substantial global health challenge, imposing profound physical and emotional burdens on affected individuals, with endometrial injury being a key contributing factor. In this study, we report that platelet-derived …

BACKGROUND: T cells are contributors to atherosclerosis pathogenesis. Granulocyte-macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-producing T helper (ThGM) cells, a specialized helper T cell subset that highly expresses GM-CSF but lacks other…

BACKGROUND: The Cardiometabolic Index (CMI), a composite marker integrating lipid profiles (triglycerides-to-HDL-C ratio) and abdominal obesity (waist-to-height ratio), we aimed to assess its association with gallstone prevalence. METHODS:…

INTRODUCTION: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a major challenge in reproductive medicine, and emerging evidence suggests that alterations in the endometrial microbiota may play a critical role in its pathogenesis. To identify the ma…

BACKGROUND: The effect of pre-pregnancy intrauterine device (IUD) use on subsequent preterm birth (PTB) remains unclear. We aim to investigate the association between IUD use before pregnancy and subsequent PTB. METHODS: A total of 240,437…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether vaginal and endometrial microbiota impact pregnancy outcomes in frozen embryo transfers (FET) during hormone replacement cycles. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study analyzed 51 first-time FET patients…

OBJECTIVE: Tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome-1 (TRPS1), an atypical GATA transcription factor, plays a critical role in diverse physiological and pathological processes and holds potential as a biomarker for diseases and targeted tumor thera…

BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that autophagy, a cellular process regulated by ATG7, plays a critical role in ovarian physiology and pathology. In this study, our objective was to examine ATG7 levels in women with and without po…

BACKGROUND: Presacral cysts are rare congenital lesions predominantly affecting females. Surgery is often recommended after diagnosis due to the risk of malignant transformation and complications associated with cyst enlargement. Laparoscop…

BACKGROUND: Plasma microRNAs act as biomarkers for predicting and diagnosing diseases. Reliable non-invasive biomarkers for biochemical pregnancy loss have not been established. We aim to analyze the dynamic microRNA profiles during the per…

BACKGROUND: Accurate and rapid discrimination between benign and malignant ovarian masses is crucial for optimal patient management. This study aimed to establish an ultrasound image-based nomogram combining clinical, radiomics, and deep tr…

IMPORTANCE: A growing number of children are conceived with assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, there is a lack of studies systematically analyzing the genetic landscape of live-born children conceived through ART who need inte…

BACKGROUND: Observation studies have confirmed the association between the gut microbiome and reproductive endocrine diseases (REDs), namely, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and female infertility. However, their associatio…

Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a complicated pregnancy-specific disease and is considered the primary reason for maternal and foetal mortality and morbidity. PE has a multifactorial pathogenesis but the causes of PE remain unclear. The functions of …

Female-specific risk factors for stroke have gradually received attention. The relationship between ischemic stroke and adenomyosis, a benign uterine disorder commonly present in parous women, is underrecognized. We aimed to provide an over…

BACKGROUND: Anembryonic pregnancy (AP) is the most severe dysmorphogenesis of human embryo development and a frequent presentation of early pregnancy loss (EPL). Studies have analyzed the association between assisted reproductive technologi…

Endometrium undergoes repeated repair and regeneration during the menstrual cycle. Previous attempts using gene expression data to define the menstrual cycle failed to come to an agreement. Here we used single-cell RNA sequencing data of C5…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate neonatal and children growth outcomes of cryotransfer of embryos developed from frozen gametes [double frozen transfer (DFT)]. METHODS: This nested case-control study included 6,705 women who had a si…

INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), a common gynaecological disorder, is approximately 10% across the world. Failure in early diagnosis and treatment may result in continuous decreases in ovarian function and t…

Objectives: We were the first to combine IETA ultrasonic features with GI-RADS and tumor biomarkers for the surveillance of endometrial carcinoma. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy of single IETA ultrasonography GI-RADS classification an…

BACKGROUND: Visceral pain is a complex and heterogeneous disorder that is considered more prominent compared to somatic pain, due to its multiple and complex causes and accompanying emotional and mood disorders. Research has become increasi…

Most liver diseases, including acute liver injury, drug-induced liver injury, viral hepatitis, metabolic liver diseases, and end-stage liver diseases, are strongly linked with hormonal influences. Thus, delineating the clinical manifestatio…

BACKGROUND: Catamenial pneumothorax is characterized by spontaneous recurring pneumothorax during menstruation, which is a common clinical manifestation of thoracic endometriosis syndrome. There are still controversies about its pathogenesi…

Abstract Background: Luteinized unruptured follicular follicle syndrome (LUFS) is a special type of ovulatory dysfunction and a common cause of infertility. It is estimated that its prevalence is 13% ~ 73% in endometriosis patients. Increa…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian pregnancy after assisted reproductive technology treatment has rarely been reported; ovarian pregnancy following intrauterine insemination (IUI) is even rarer, and only nine cases have previously been reported. CASE SUM…
