BACKGROUND Primary retroperitoneal tumors (PRTs) are uncommon, with retroperitoneal dermoid cysts being particularly rare. The cystic cavity of mature cystic teratomas (dermoid cysts) is lined with squamous epithelium and primarily filled w…

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown a correlation between ABO blood type and the occurrence of certain diseases. However, there is limited research on the potential association between ABO blood group and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS…

This review explores the non-invasive applications of Raman spectroscopy in assisted reproductive technology (ART). Raman spectroscopy, a powerful tool for analyzing biological samples, has shown great potential in enhancing ART outcomes th…

Background: Despite significant advances in assisted reproductive technology (ART), disparities in clinical outcomes persist. While patient-related factors are well-studied, the role of partner ethnicity remains understudied. We hypothesize…

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…

BACKGROUND: There are scarce data on risk factors for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) in Asian populations. Our goal was to advance knowledge on reproductive -related risk factors for EOC in a large population of Asian women. METHODS: This…

STUDY QUESTION: What are the unrecognized risk factors for recurrent implantation failure (RIF) as defined in the ESHRE recommendation? SUMMARY ANSWER: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is the strongest predictor for RIF, followed by chronic en…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that causes severe pain and infertility. However, the available treatments for EMS are limited. SCM-198, a synthetic form of leonurine, possesses various abilities, including anti-inflammatory…

In this comprehensive review, we delve into the evolution of drug delivery systems in reproductive medicine with a focus on the emerging role of exosomes, a class of extracellular vesicles. Exosomes offer unique advantages in overcoming the…

BACKGROUND: Dysmenorrhea, a common concern among female college students, is closely linked to anxiety and depression, particularly during the early menstrual phase (the first one to two days of menstruation), when cramping pain in the lowe…

BACKGROUND: Current ultrasound-based screening for endometrial cancer (EC) primarily relies on endometrial thickness (ET) and morphological evaluation, which suffer from low specificity and high interobserver variability. This study aimed t…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the necessity of long-term pharmacological management following total hysterectomy for adenomyosis. METHODS: A case of ureteral endometriosis identified over one year after laparoscopic total hysterectomy and bilatera…

OBJECTIVE: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa), combined with other auxiliary treatments, can improve pregnancy outcomes in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). This research investigated the effect of acupuncture co…

BACKGROUND: The effects of female chromosomal polymorphisms (FCPs) on various aspects of reproductive health have been investigated, yet the findings are frequently inconsistent. This study aims to clarify the role of FCPs on the outcomes o…

In this multicenter, non-inferiority, randomized trial, we randomly assigned 992 women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) with a good prognosis (aged 20-40, ≥3 transferrable cleavage-stage embryos) to strategies of blastocyst-stage (n …

P2X receptors, a subfamily of ligand-gated ion channels activated by extracellular ATP, are implicated in various physiopathological processes, including inflammation, pain perception, and immune and respiratory regulations. Structural dete…

Mucinous ovarian carcinoma (MOC) represents a distinct entity within ovarian malignancies, characterized by diagnostic challenges due to its rarity and the potential overlap with other tumor types. The determination of tumor origin is impor…

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of music combined with dexmedetomidine on perioperative anxiety and postoperative recovery in gynecologic laparoscopic patients. METHODS: A total of 82 female patients were enrolled in this study. Pat…

BACKGROUND: Current research on amniotic fluid (AF) microbiota yields contradictory data, necessitating an accurate, comprehensive, and scientifically rigorous evaluation. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to characterise the microbial features …

OBJECTIVE: The major challenge in routine endocervical curettage (ECC) among Human Papillomavirus (HPV) 16/18-positive patients is that only a small fraction benefit. Nevertheless, current reported models often overestimate the validity and…

AIMS: This study aims to reveal transcriptome-wide intronic polyadenylation (IPA) events associated with Pre-eclampsia (PE). BACKGROUND: Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a potentially life-threatening complication of pregnancy, affecting both materna…

PURPOSE: Female infertility is a global health concern. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between regulatory T (Treg) cells and helper T cells 17 (Th17) in peripheral blood and unexplained infertility (UI). In additi…

A successful embryo implantation relies heavily on the receptivity of the endometrial epithelium, a process regulated by various molecular mechanisms. Evaluating endometrial receptivity in infertility patients undergoing assisted reproducti…

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the deadliest women's cancer and has a poor prognosis. Early detection is the key for improving survival (a 5-year survival rate in stage I/II is over 70% compared to that of 25% in stage III/IV) and can b…

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a multifactorial disease that seriously affects womens physical and mental health. With the advent of efficient contraception, the trend for women towards later maternity until their thirties or even …
