BackgroundSerum lipase levels are crucial biomarkers in acute pancreatitis (AP), yet their dynamic patterns and prognostic implications remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to identify distinct lipase trajectory phenotypes and e…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease and a major contributor to dysmenorrhea that substantially reduces the quality of life of the affected. Dienogest has emerged as a promising drug for treating adenomyosis. A few syst…
Background and objectivesPrevious studies have reported there were associations between ovarian function and dietary factors, metabolic factors and gut microbiota. However, it is unclear whether causal associations exist. We aimed to explor…
Abstract Background: Endometrial receptivity, a critical prerequisite for successful pregnancy, is impaired in women with endometriosis. Plasma membrane transformation (PMT), a key process involving dynamic remodeling of endometrial epithe…
IntroductionThin endometrium poses a major therapeutic challenge in assisted reproductive technologies by compromising pregnancy success and live birth outcomes. A substantial proportion of patients remain refractory to existing therapies. …
BackgroundThis study aimed to observe the effect of dexmedetomidine on the median effective concentration (EC50) of ropivacaine for postoperative analgesia in ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block.MethodsPatients undergoing el…
BackgroundHysteroscopic septum resection has been a widespread technique throughout the world in women with a septate uterus. The effectiveness of hysteroscopic septum resection before IVF was equivocal. This study aimed to investigate whet…
BackgroundCurrent advances in high-throughput sequencing technology enable the precise identification of Y chromosome microdeletion and primary duplication in infertile couples, but the mechanism and clinical significance of these mutations…
DNA methylation is a common endogenous chemical modification in eukaryotic DNA, primarily involving the covalent attachment of a methyl group to the fifth carbon of cytosine residues, leading to the formation of 5-methylcytosine (5mC). This…
PurposeMaternal age-related fertility decline is considered to be directly attributed to either embryonic or endometrial factors. Aneuploidy, as the dominant defect in aging embryos, has long diverted attention away from the effects of endo…
BackgroundAcute pancreatitis (AP) is a complex condition requiring immediate treatment. Both extracellular vesicles derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSC-EVs) and emodin, a naturally occurring anthraquinone used …
Over the past 15 years, groundbreaking discoveries have reshaped our understanding of how biomolecules are organized in space and time within cells, revealing that many cellular compartments are separated from their surroundings not by memb…
Whether and how endometrial aging affects fertility remains unclear. In our in-house clinical cohort at the Center for Reproductive Medicine of Peking University Third Hospital (n = 1,149), we observed adverse pregnancy outcomes in the midd…
Abstract Background Endometriosis is a systemic gynecological disorder that affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and shares certain pathophysiological features with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite this, the connecti…
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The relationship between female genital tract congenital anomalies and endometriosis is less clear. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence and high-risk factors of endometriosis in patients diagnosed with fe…
BackgroundOvarian sex cord-stromal tumors (OSCSTs) are a rare and heterogeneous group of ovarian neoplasms, encompassing various subtypes such as ovarian thecoma, fibroma (including cellular fibroma), and ovarian granulosa cell tumors (OGCT…
Single and multiple endometrial polyps (EP) are common gynecological conditions with differing recurrence rates, influencing clinical treatment decisions. This study aimed to characterize the reproductive tract microbiome in both subtypes t…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecological disorder closely linked with diminished fertility potential that poses significant challenges in pharmacological management. Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen, DS), a traditional Ch…
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecological condition marked by the presence of tissue similar to the endometrium grows outside the uterus, often leading pelvic pain and infertility. This study explores how enhancer of zeste homol…
BackgroundGallic acid (GA), a plant-derived polyphenol, possesses diverse biological functions such as reducing inflammation and against tumors. Currently, the influence of GA on the resistance of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) c…
ObjectivesTo evaluate the association of GGN repeat polymorphism of androgen receptor (AR) with ovarian reserve and ovarian response in controlled ovarian stimulation (COS).MethodsThis genetic association study was conducted among a total o…
To analyze the global burden of pancreatitis in women of childbearing age (WCBA) at the global, regional and national levels from 1990 to 2021. Data for pancreatitis incidence and deaths in females aged 15 to 49 years were downloaded from t…
AIM: Infertility is a growing global health issue affecting millions worldwide. While endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and unexplained infertility are recognized as the major contributors, their specific burden and impact o…
The increased risk of infertility and endometrial lesions (such as endometrial hyperplasia or cancer) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are closely associated with the lack of cyclical transformation in the endometrium. However, the under…
