ObjectiveTo present two cases of primary ovarian squamous-cell carcinoma (POSCC) and describe a comprehensive review and analysis of the published related literature.MethodsWe reviewed the medical records of two patients with POSCC who unde…

Endometriosis (EM) is an intractable gynecological condition with uncertain etiology. Gut microbiota have been increasingly implicated in EM, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we identify a gut microbe-metabolite-uterus ax…

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are a class of chemical substances with environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, and high toxicity, which are widely present in the environment and food chains. Prostate cancer (PCa) is a highly preva…

BackgroundThe clinical impact of sperm chromatin condensation defects (SCCD) on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes remains controversial. This study aimed to clarify the effects of SCCD on embryonic development, pregnancy, and neonatal o…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is characterized by inflammation and fibrosis, in which cytokines and cytokine-macrophage interactions serve as critical mediators. However, the specific mechanisms that initiate the fibrotic cascade in endometrios…

Ovarian endometriosis (OEM) is characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue growth within the ovary. In these ectopic lesions, the ectopic epithelium plays a crucial role in OEM progression and has been associated with malignant transformati…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is thought to be associated with adverse perinatal outcomes. This study aimed to assess the relationship between pre-pregnancy uterine volume and preterm birth in singleton gravid women with adenomyosis. METHODS: We…

OBJECTIVES: Obesity and endometriosis are intricately linked. The body mass index (BMI) is commonly used as an indicator of obesity, but it has limitations. The visceral adiposity index (VAI) is a novel, low-cost composite index that reflec…

ObjectiveLimited evidence exists on the safety of inactivated COVID-19 vaccines and the optimal vaccination timing for women undergoing in vitro fertilization-frozen embryo transfer (IVF-FET). This study aims to examine the associations bet…

Early detection and effective chemotherapy for ovarian cancer, a serious gynecological malignancy, require further progress. This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism of ATPase H+-Transporting V1 Subunit B1 (ATP6V1B1) in ovari…

Oxidative stress is a significant factor affecting reproductive efficiency in dairy cows, contributing to conditions such as endometritis that impair fertility and milk production. This study investigates the molecular mechanisms by which b…

Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is a commercially available antiseptic used in bovine intrauterine lavage to manage postpartum infections. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are well-studied for their ability to induce inflammation and oxidative stre…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate various body fat indicators under weight management on the time to complete response (CR) in overweight patients undergoing fertility-sparing treatment for endometrial cancer (EC) or atypical hyperplasia (AEH). METHOD…

BackgroundDysmenorrhea is a prevalent gynecological disorder with multifactorial pathophysiology, including prostaglandin overproduction, inflammation, and pain sensitization. Emerging evidence suggests that gut microbiota may contribute to…

BackgroundTo describe the evolution and outcomes of protocol-orientated multidisciplinary quality improvement for clinically confirmed placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders mainly receiving uterine preservation.MethodsThis single-instit…

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is resistant to chemotherapy, with limited treatment options for advanced and recurrent disease. The prevalence of OCCC differs by region. Assessing the expression of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1…

Sheep (Ovis aries) are valuable biomedical models for studying human reproductive biology, however, the transcriptional dynamics underlying their ovarian development remain insufficiently characterized. In this study, we profiled 61,649 sin…

BackgroundOil-based contrast medium in hysterosalpingography has been recommended as an approach to improve fertility in recent years. However, this approach has rarely been applied to patients with unknown recurrent implantation failure (R…

To explore and validate active components in the Yijing Decoction formula that exert therapeutic effects on targets associated with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and to identify the underlying mechanisms of action. A rat model of PO…

Metformin, the most widely used anti-diabetic drug, has been demonstrated to exert various effects, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and cardioprotective properties. Due to its affordability and low toxicity profile, me…

BackgroundDifferent endometrial preparation protocols are used prior to frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). Optimization of endometrial preparation protocols is mandatory to improve live birth rate and obstetric and perinatal outcomes. In …

BackgroundPhthalate esters (PAEs) are a class of synthetic compounds that are extensively utilized in a range of consumer products, and they significantly affect both environmental conditions and human reproductive health. Especially, many …

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Endometriosis is a gynecological disorder characterized by chronic pelvic pain and infertility in women. The traditional herbal medicine Sanleng Wan (SLW) is composed of Curcuma phaeocaulis Valeton (Chinese n…
