Endometriosis affects about 10% of women of reproductive age and is a major cause of chronic pelvic pain and infertility, yet current therapies often fail to provide lasting relief. Mitochondrial dysfunction has emerged as a potential key c…

BackgroundShear wave elastography (SWE) can evaluate cervical function by measuring the stiffness of the cervix of pregnant women. The aim of this study was to investigate the value of transvaginal ultrasound real-time SWE for assessing cer…

PURPOSE: This study aims to analyze the clinical factors affecting embryo quality and quantity in endometriosis patients undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET), thereby providing…

Endometriosis progression is driven by oxidative stress and excessive angiogenesis within an inflammatory microenvironment. To overcome these challenges, we designed ROS/pH dual-responsive Alpelisib-loaded nanoparticles (Alp@TAT-AT7-NPs) fu…

Background/objectivesBreast Milk Feeding (BMF) benefits mother and infant. However, women with select risk factors report shorter breastfeeding durations. Our previous prospective cohort observational study of a lactation-consultant-led tel…

Research questionEmbryo quality serves as a pivotal determinant in assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes, with high-grade embryos correlating with improved pregnancy/live birth rates but poor morphology elevating the risks of impl…

IntroductionPoor ovarian response (POR) is a major barrier to in vitro fertilization (IVF) success. We assessed whether adjunctive acupuncture is associated with improved IVF outcomes among women with POR.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective…

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), a prevalent gynecological ailment compromising women's health, demonstrates established risk mitigation from dietary trace minerals. However, iron's role in PID pathogenesis remains unestablished. The Nati…

ObjectiveInfertility affects approximately 15% of couples worldwide and represents a significant global health burden with profound psychological, social, and economic consequences. Nearly 15% of couples globally experience infertility whil…

Some observational studies have suggested an association between pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and ovarian cancer (OC), but the causality between PID and OC remains unclear. To investigate the causal association between PID and 7 OCs, w…

Elagolix sodium (ELS), a non-peptide oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRH) antagonist approved for the treatment of endometriosis-associated pain, displays atypical gelation in aqueous environments along with challenging physi…

BackgroundPeriodontitis has increasingly been recognized for its impact on systemic health. Mendelian Randomization (MR), an emerging causal inference method, effectively overcomes confounding biases in observational studies. To systematica…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by pain and impaired quality of life (QoL). While pharmacological and surgical options exist, their limitations necessitate complementary strategies. The comparativ…

The homeostasis balance of copper, as an essential trace element for life activities, is crucial for maintaining the normal function of cells. Cuproptosis, discovered in recent years, is a novel type of programmed cell death triggered by th…

Early-stage endometrial cancer frequently shares overlapping clinical presentations and sonographic features with benign endometrial disorders, making early detection challenging. This retrospective study evaluated clinical characteristics,…

Iron overload induces cellular stress and is implicated in diverse pathological conditions. Nevertheless, the epigenetic mechanisms governing mammalian cellular responses to iron overload remain poorly characterized. Using multi-omics profi…

Preterm birth (PTB), defined as delivery between 28 and 37 weeks of gestation, is a leading cause of global neonatal mortality. Its pathogenesis is primarily driven by oxidative stress and inflammation, synergistically inducing calcium ion …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of bisphosphonates on surgical site infection (SSI) and their safety in postmenopausal women undergoing Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF). METHODS: This was a single-center retrospective coh…

BackgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of growth hormone (GH) as an adjuvant treatment for enhancing embryo quantity in patients with poor ovarian response (POR) who previously had no viable embryos in in vitro fertilization (I…

To investigate the efficacy of different pretreatment protocols for women with endometriosis undergoing IVF. We systematically searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Medline, and Embase from inception to April 30, 2025, to identify randomiz…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a systemic gynecological disorder affecting ~ 10% of reproductive-aged women and shares pathophysiological features with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, its associations with cardiac remodeling and CVD ri…

ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore the compatibility rules of acupoint selection in acupuncture treatment for infertility using data mining techniques.MethodsRandomized controlled trials (RCTs)on acupuncture treatment for infertility were…

This study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying luteolin's therapeutic effects on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis (EM), thereby providing a theoretical foundation for developing novel treatment strategies…

OBJECTIVE: Up to 1.6% of patients with endometriosis develop epithelial ovarian carcinoma. The genetic overlap between endometriosis and ovarian cancer has not been fully characterized. This review aims to describe the current literature on…
