BACKGROUND: Whether cyst size affects ovarian reserve before and after surgery remains controversial. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to determine whether cyst size causes differences in pre- and post-ovarian reserve impairment a…

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease and there is no reliable non-invasive biomarker for its unknown pathogenesis. TRF is differentially expressed in a variety of cancers and is a new non-invasive biomarker. The aim of this stud…

PURPOSE: Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic gynecological disorder with unclear pathogenesis. While the vaginal and gut microbiomes are known to influence EMS, few studies have analyzed both microbiomes integrally. This study aims to characte…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between endometriosis (EMs) severity and placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) risk in the subsequent pregnancy. METHOD: Clinical records of 2,142 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for EMs at F…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the perioperative outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) and dual-port laparoscopic myomectomy in patients with solitary uterine fibroids. METHODS: This retrospective observational st…

Study questionDoes the type of embryo culture medium affect the birthweight of newborns conceived by ART?Summary answerAfter fresh embryo transfers, singleton newborns in the G5 and HTF groups exhibited higher birthweight z-scores and incre…

Fungal biofilms, as self-produced extracellular polymeric substances that resist antifungal agents and immune defense, represent a major cause of treatment failure and recurrent infections. Therefore, it is of great importance to eradicate …

An increasing number of research have suggested that ferroptosis plays an important role in endometriosis (EMS). This study was to identify a ferroptosis-related diagnosis gene in EMS by using bioinformatics. R Bioconductor package limma wa…

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether prior SARS-CoV-2 infection adversely affects live birth and perinatal outcomes following subsequent frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) and to further investigate whether the time interval between infection and …

AIM: To investigate the risk factors associated with postpartum urinary retention after cesarean section (CS) and to determine the associated morbidity rate. METHODS: This study was a population-based retrospective case-control study analy…

Ovarian cancer (OC) remains one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies, largely due to its late-stage diagnosis and high recurrence rates. Chronic inflammation is a critical driver of OC progression, contributing to immune evasion, t…

BACKGROUND: Acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), a widely used plasticizer, has raised concerns regarding its reproductive toxicity. However, its molecular mechanisms in female infertility and ovarian damage remain poorly characterized. This stu…

Nanomaterials are increasingly applied in biomedicine and have significant potential in reproductive medicine. However, because they can impact germ cells, use of nanomaterials could represent a "double-edged sword", whose benefits must be …

BACKGROUND: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) significantly impacts women's quality of life, with laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) considered the gold standard for treatment. However, LSC carries risks of complications, prompting exploration of …

PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare the pregnancy outcomes of letrozole (LE)-induced ovulation and hormone replacement treatment (HRT) in endometrial preparation for frozen embryo transfer (FET) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCO…

OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the therapeutic potential of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in acute pancreatitis (AP), focusing on its effects on lipid metabolism, inflammatory responses, and pancreatic tissue integrity. The study …

Endometriosis (EMS), a chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately 10 % reproductive aged women, remains etiologically unclear. This study aims to investigate the role and underlying mechanisms of frizzled class receptor 7 (FZD7) i…

BACKGROUND: Despite epidemiological studies linking phthalates to ovarian cancer, their multi-target molecular mechanisms remain unresolved, hindering biomarker discovery and preventive strategies. This study integrates network toxicology, …

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have identified that exposure to heavy metals increases the prevalence of congenital heart defects (CHDs); however, limited information exists regarding the association between combined exposure to barium (Ba) a…

BACKGROUND: The quality of in vitro matured (IVM) oocytes remains inferior to that of in vivo matured oocytes, likely due to DNA damage induced by the in vitro environment. Although rapamycin has been shown to improve the developmental comp…

INTRODUCTION: A significant proportion of women in their reproductive years are afflicted by endometriosis. And one of the major contributing factors to infertility linked to ovarian endometriosis is thought to be oocyte quality. The precis…

AIM: To explore whether preoperative vaginal dysbiosis influences the recurrence of endometrial polyps after hysteroscopic polypectomy. DESIGN: Retrospective-prospective observational cohort study. METHODS: A total of 679 patients from ou…

OBJECTIVE: This retrospective study investigated the prognostic significance and risk factors of benign pathologic types of background endometrium surrounding endometrial polyps (EPs). METHODS: We assessed 206 patients who underwent hyster…

Trained immunity induced by β-glucan insult drives the functional reprogramming of macrophages to the hyperinflammatory status, contributing to developing or maintaining inflammatory diseases. Inflammatory arthritis is characterized by an i…
