BACKGROUND: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the association between endometrial thickness (EMT) on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger and the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) across one oocyte-retrieval cycle.…

BACKGROUND: Fumarate hydratase (FH)-deficient uterine leiomyoma is a rare pathologic marker for hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC) syndrome. Its recognition is crucial for initiating life-saving surveillance. CASE P…

This study aimed to compare the clinical histories and clinicopathological characteristics between internal and external adenomyosis (ADM) among infertile women. A total of 759 infertile patients aged 24 to 40 years were enrolled from the S…

BACKGROUND: The clinical association between female reproductive disorders, such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS), uterine leiomyoma, and female infertility and psychiatric disorders, such as major depressive disorder(MDD),…

Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) encompasses a heterogeneous group of debilitating conditions including interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), chronic abacterial prostatitis, endometriosis, and pelvic congestion syndrome, …

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) has emerged as a highly promising therapeutic target due to its critical role in the pathogenesis and progression of endometriosis. To date, a variety of FGFR2 inhibitors have exhibited remarkable…

The growing diversity of anthropogenic chemicals in the environment far exceeds the scope of routine analytical monitoring. Non-target screening (NTS) using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) has thus emerged to discover unknown organ…

BACKGROUND: Environmental exposure to trace and heavy metals may influence female fertility, yet their impact on assisted reproductive outcomes remains poorly defined. Maternal diet can potentially modulate metal-related toxicity by influen…

Endometriosis (EM) is driven by immune dysregulation and macrophage dysfunction, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, metabolomic profiling revealed excessive itaconate accumulation in EM lesions, primarily due to elevated ci…

Tumor immune escape is a major challenge in cancer treatment, and targeted immune escape therapy has become a key strategy for cancer treatment. As an important deubiquitinating enzyme, ubiquitin-specific protease 10 (USP10) participates in…

BACKGROUND: Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) have been linked to multiple adverse health outcomes; however, their association with infertility remains unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship betw…

OBJECTIVE: Limited 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 b…

PURPOSE: Although observational studies suggest a link between socioeconomic status (SES) and hormone-related gynecologic diseases, the causal direction and mediating mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to explore the causal relation…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder in which immune cells, specifically macrophages, play a pivotal yet incompletely understood role. Aberrations within the eutopic endometrium are implicated in the initiation and progression o…

Endometriosis, a persistent inflammatory disease, is associated with pelvic or abdominal pain. The immune system and sensory nervous system show a synergistic effect on regulation of pain. In particular, Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is released a…

Ferroptosis, a recently discovered form of programmed cell death triggered by the excessive accumulation of iron-dependent lipid peroxidation products, plays a critical role in the development of various diseases. However, whether it is inv…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian seromucinous tumors represent a rare subclass of ovarian neoplasms. While the majority of these tumors are benign, the potential for malignant transformation persists and should be considered. To enhance patient outcome …

Infertility is an increasingly prevalent global health issue affecting millions of couples. It can arise from various factors, including hormonal imbalances, reproductive disorders, and anatomical abnormalities. While numerous treatment opt…

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer outcomes in infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS: We conducted a prospect…

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is one of the most common diseases contributing to declining fertility globally. Autoimmune dysregulation has been implicated in POI, but the role of B cell and its subsets in immune dysregulation in PO…
