High-throughput omics technologies have transformed our understanding of female reproductive biology, revealing molecular interactions governing oocyte maturation, ovarian reserve, endometrial receptivity, and embryo development, yet most f…

BACKGROUND: Hydrosalpinx affects 10-30% of infertile women, creating a hostile tubal microenvironment that impairs embryonic development. Although fluid embryotoxicity is recognised, specific toxic metabolites and their molecular mechanisms…

BACKGROUND: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is performed in over half of assisted reproductive technology cycles globally; however, the optimal interval between oocyte denudation and sperm injection remains undefined in clinical gui…

BACKGROUND: Elevated homocysteine (HCY) and hyperandrogenism are key metabolic disturbances in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but their relationship across different reproductive outcomes remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate outco…

OBJECTIVE: Preserving ovarian reserve function during single-port laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is crucial for women of reproductive age. This study aimed to evaluate the hemostatic efficacy and impact on ovarian reserve of three differen…

Adenomyosis (AM) commonly affects women of reproductive age and can impair female fertility, yet its diagnosis and pathogenesis remain challenging. We compared serum IgG1 Fc‑glycosylation profiles between AM patients (n = 30) and non‑AM con…

BACKGROUND: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) are major causes of pathological early pregnancy, yet their mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify shared molecular mediators and…

PURPOSE: Accurate prognostic prediction remains a significant challenge in the management of low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC), a rare and molecularly distinct histologic subtype. This study aimed to develop a prediction model visuali…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic versus transvaginal ethanol sclerotherapy in patients with ovarian endometriomas (OEMs). DESIGN: Preliminary retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Reproductive Medicine Re…

sFRP2, a member of the secreted frizzled-related protein family, is an extracellular protein characterized by a cysteine-rich domain and a netrin-like (NTR) domain. By modulating ligand availability, receptor selection, and microenvironment…

Ovarian endometriosis (OvE) is a gynecological disorder with endometrial tissue in the ovaries, for which effective non-invasive diagnosis and curative treatments are currently lacking. Serum samples were collected from both discovery and v…

During spaceflight, the female reproductive system undergoes substantial adaptation to microgravity and faces an increased risk of reproductive impairment. Mammalian oocytes remain arrested for extended periods at the first meiotic prophase…

Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by pain and infertility, remains a clinical challenge. Current hormonal and surgical treatments are often limited by side effects and high recurrence rates. In search of more eff…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue and is closely associated with pain and infertility. This review summarizes current evidence on immune dysregulation and emerging…

The rapid advances in epigenetic and epitranscriptomic regulatory mechanisms have opened new prospects for precision therapies in various diseases. N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) is currently the only known eukaryotic RNA ac4C acetyltransfe…

Fibrosis is a defining feature of endometriosis (EMS). Our previous single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed myofibroblasts (MFBs) as the predominant cells in ectopic endometrium (ECE), mainly derived from fibroblast-to-myofibroblast…

BACKGROUND: Rudimentary Horn Pregnancy (RHP) is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition that can closely resemble abdominal pregnancy both clinically and on ultrasound imaging. Therefore, prompt diagnosis is essential to prevent s…

BACKGROUND: This study investigates whether the timing of first sexual intercourse is associated with the risk of developing endometriosis and adenomyosis, aiming to shed light on early-life reproductive factors that may influence women's l…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of a 3-stage treatment strategy featured by cold-knife adenomyomectomy, enhanced endometrial protection and postoperative uterine monitoring for severe diffuse adenomyosis on IVF/ICSI and perinatal o…

ObjectiveTo evaluate whether vitamin D supplementation improves live birth rates in women with polycystic ovary syndrome undergoing in vitro fertilisation.DesignMulticentre, double blind, placebo controlled, randomised clinical trial.Settin…

Dichloroacetate (DCA), as a pan-inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and mitochondrial function. DCA decreases lactic acid synthesis, enhances mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, and reg…

Uterine arteriovenous malformation (UAVM) is a rare cause of vaginal bleeding in women of childbearing age. Due to the rarity of UAVM, previous studies have classified UAVM into primary and secondary types based on whether the uterus has be…

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:…

Various pathologies, environmental factors, and medications can cause anal distension. Sacrococcygeal chordoma is a rare tumor originating from the remnants of the primitive spinal cord. Nonetheless, only a few case reports of anal swelling…

Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix (SCNEC) is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. We report the case of a 36-year-old nulliparous woman with a history of HPV-18 infection and repeated cytology showi…
