IntroductionAcupuncture has been explored as a potential intervention for POR; however, high-quality evidence is limited. This multicenter randomized trial evaluated the effect of acupuncture on the number of oocytes retrieved following con…
IntroductionDiminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is known to reduce the likelihood of achieving pregnancy or live births in women undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Acupuncture maybe effective for DOR, but current e…
BackgroundAfter early pregnancy loss (EPL), couples often seek counselling on how long to wait before attempting to conceive again. However, the optimal interpregnancy interval (IPI) between EPL and the next pregnancy is controversial. Addi…
IntroductionEmbryonic stem cells (ESCs), capable of generating all adult cell types, hold transformative potential for agriculture and biomedicine. However, stable sheep ESCs derivation remains challenging, limiting their application in fur…
BackgroundInsulin resistance has been linked to adverse reproductive and pregnancy outcomes. The triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) serves as a simple and cost-effective surrogate marker of insulin resistance. This study aimed t…
Endometriosis (EMs) is characterized by the establishment and persistence of ectopic lesions, a process fundamentally dependent on aberrant angiogenesis. Endothelial cells (ECs) play a central role in this process; however, accumulating evi…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the feasibility of quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) and R2* mapping in assessing iron deposition in endometriotic ovarian cysts (EMO) and their potential implications for ovarian reserve. MATERIALS AND METH…
IntroductionPCOS is the most common disorder encompassing reproductive, metabolic, and endocrine abnormalities, and has an increased risk of adverse pregnancy and neonatal complications, such as miscarriage, gestational diabetes mellitus, a…
PURPOSE: Observational studies have indicated a potential link between adenomyosis/endometriosis and adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs), yet the potential relationship remains uncertain. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study investigates whether…

ObjectiveThe research focuses on understanding how GSDMD and Caspase-1, key regulators of pyroptosis, influence postoperative recurrence in Endometrial Polyps (EPs) and examines whether a combined biomarker can effectively predict recurrenc…
BackgroundPremature ovarian insufficiency (POI) significantly impairs female fertility and poses substantial health risks; however, its pathogenesis is incompletely understood, and effective therapeutic interventions are limited. Although g…
Background and objectiveIleal ureter replacement (IUR) is the definitive management approach for extensive ureteral strictures (UrSs). Patients with UrS exhibit poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We conducted a long-term, multi-in…
PurposeAcute pancreatitis is a common disease with limited supportive treatments. Finding effective biomarkers is of great significance for early diagnosis and therapy, as well as to achieve better prognosis.Materials and methodsThe core ge…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic gynecological disease with poorly understood pathogenesis. This study integrated lipidomics and transcriptomics to systematically investigate aberrant sphingolipid metabolism in EMs, aiming to identify patho…
BackgroundCervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) exhibits profound spatial heterogeneity in evolutionary trajectories across distinct tumour foci, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.MethodsIn this study, we performed an…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Do iron metabolism and ferroptosis influence oocyte and embryo quality in patients with endometriosis undergoing IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), or in a mouse model? DESIGN: Fifty-seven patients with laparos…
The paradigm shift of lactate from a mere metabolic byproduct to a pleiotropic signaling molecule, coupled with the discovery of lactylation, provides a crucial framework for understanding how metabolic reprogramming drives systemic patholo…
Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a common organ failure in acute pancreatitis (AP) with high mortality. This study used machine learning to predict ARF risk in AP patients through a retrospective, multicenter cohort analysis involving MIM…
Ovarian senescence is accompanied by inflammatory responses, yet the underlying mechanism remains incompletely elucidated. In this study, transcriptome sequencing was performed on ovarian granulosa cells from advanced-age patients and norma…
Phthalates (PAEs), typical endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that accumulate in the human body to induce reproductive toxicity, have epidemiological links to endometriosis (EM), but the underlying micro-mechanisms remain unclear. Ferrop…
The present study investigated the role of melatonin (MT) in regulating mitochondrial function via sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) in granulosa cells (GCs) from patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), with a focus on mitochondrial protection. Not…
