BACKGROUND: Recent studies have disputed the association between bisphenol A (BPA) and endometriosis. This updated meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the impact of BPA exposure on endometriosis. METHODS: This study evaluated BPA ex…
STUDY QUESTION: How can the potential mechanisms and targets of endometriosis be explored through multi-omics and multi-location approaches? SUMMARY ANSWER: This exploration of the gut-reproductive axis in patients with endometriosis found…
BACKGROUND: In this study, we aimed to explore the effect of the timing of surgical management of hydrosalpinx on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic single-sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) pregnancy outcomes in patients with tubal factor inf…
Background: Endometriosis-associated infertility (EAI) has emerged as an increasingly pressing reproductive health problem. Nevertheless, existing epidemiological research on EAI remains inadequate. Methods: This study integrated the Global…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis-associated infertility (EAI) has emerged as an increasingly pressing reproductive health problem. Nevertheless, existing epidemiological research on EAI remains inadequate. METHODS: This study integrated the Globa…
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…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is associated with immune dysregulation, while dysfunction of natural killer (NK) cells is regarded as a key mechanism underlying immune escape and the persistent growth of ectopic lesions. METHOD: This study…
The female reproductive tract (FRT), particularly the vagina, has traditionally been regarded as a sterile environment. However, it is now recognized that the vagina is a complex, dynamic ecosystem dominated by Lactobacillus species, which …
PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to develop a predictive model for the therapeutic efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation in the treatment of adenomyosis, utilizing dual-sequence MRI radiomics. METHODS: A retrospect…
OBJECTIVE: To propose a prediction model aimed at increasing the live birth rate of patients undergoing two-cell embryo transfer while eliminating multiple pregnancy complications. METHODS: Women who underwent their first In Vitro Fertiliz…
Background:Chronic endometritis is a persistent and localized inflammation of the endometrium. Clinically, antibiotics are used to treat CE, but there is a lack of optimal treatment protocols. Objectives:To evaluate the effectiveness and sa…
BACKGROUND: Spironolactone, eplerenone, and finerenone are three commonly used mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) with cardioprotective and renoprotective effects. However, comparative real-world safety evaluations remain limited…
OBJECTIVES: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) imaging in distinguishing cystic or predominantly cystic ovarian lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 49 patients underwent APTw imaging at 3T…
BACKGROUND: Unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (uRPL), defined as the loss of two or more pregnancies without an identified cause, affects approximately 1-2% of women trying to conceive. Emerging evidence suggests that an imbalance in mat…
Pain, an unpleasant but essential feeling for life, affects more than 20% of the global population and burdens health and the economy. Due to the lack of understanding of the exact fundamental mechanism, the existing therapeutic strategies …
BACKGROUND: Embryo selection and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) are used in clinical practice with the aim of improving pregnancy outcomes in patients. However, it remains uncertain whether different PGT techniques improve the live b…
BACKGROUND: AMH is a dependable indicator of ovarian reserve function and assessment of ovarian responsiveness. The relationship between reduced ovarian reserve and pregnancy loss remains poorly understood and requires further investigation…
BACKGROUND: Intramural pregnancy (IMP) is a subtype of ectopic pregnancy that can lead to life-threatening uterine rupture and severe hemorrhage. However, the clinical manifestations of IMP are nonspecific, making early clinical recognition…
This study aims to assess whether endometriosis causally increases the risk of IBD through Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis and to elucidate potential mechanisms using in vitro experiments. A two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) ana…
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the significance of autophagy proteins and their association with clinical data on pregnancy loss in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), while also constructing predictive models. METHODS: This study was a …
PURPOSE: To investigate potential differences in pregnancy outcomes among patients with regular menstruation who underwent frozen-thawed embryo transfer using natural cycle (NC) or hormone replacement therapy (HRT). METHODS: This study ret…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of chronic endometritis (CE) in infertile patients and whether it affects spontaneous pregnancy after reproductive surgery in infertile patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, we collected c…
PURPOSE: This study aims to retrospectively estimate cumulative reproductive outcomes in women with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) in assisted reproductive technology (ART) therapy. METHODS: A total of 139 patients diagnosed with POI …
