BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder among women of childbearing age. In addition, it is a heterogeneous disease with numerous etiologies, multiple levels, and uneven manifestation. In patients …
"Wen Tong Plaster" is renowned for its therapeutic effects of warming meridians, dispelling cold, and promoting blood circulation. However, its chemical composition and active pharmacological substances have yet to be fully elucidated. In t…
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) due to weak support tissues is a common, debilitating condition typically treated with surgery. However, surgery is suboptimal due to associated risks and high prolapse recurrence rates. Therefore, there is a nee…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common female endocrine disorder marked by disrupted folliculogenesis and hyperandrogenism, is increasingly linked to oxidative stress. Despite this association, the mechanistic basis remains poorly chara…
BACKGROUND: The interplay between gynaecological surgeries and arthritis pathogenesis remains poorly understood. This study offers new insights into potential health risks associated with post-hysterectomy. METHODS: The cross-sectional stu…
Shaofu Zhuyu decoction has been widely used to treat gynecological diseases; however, its mechanism of action in endometriosis remains unclear. We analyzed Shaofu Zhuyu decoction's chemical composition using ultra-high performance liquid ch…

Adiponectin is a pleiotropic cytokine predominantly derived from adipose tissue. In addition to its role in regulating energy metabolism, adiponectin may also be related to estrogen-dependent diseases, and many studies have confirmed its in…
Female infertility is a significant problem for women of reproductive age worldwide. Obesity has been proven to pose a danger for infertility in women. Weight-adjusted waist circumference index (WWI) is a recently created biomarker of obesi…
Cutaneous endometriosis, characterized by the presence of endometrium or endometrial-like tissue outside of the uterine cavity, is an uncommon and chronic disease. Depending on a patient's history, cutaneous endometriosis is classified as e…
Primary dysmenorrhea is one of the most common reasons for gynecologic visits, but due to the lack of suitable animal models, the pathologic mechanisms and related drug development are limited. Herein, we establish a new mouse model which c…
BACKGROUND: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a major limitation of assisted reproductive technology, which is associated with impaired endometrial receptivity. Although N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been demonstrated to be involved in…
OBJECTIVE: This study examined the feasibility and safety of allogeneic uterus transplantation (UTx) from a living donor and assessed short-term graft viability in a rhesus model. This research is an important step towards further clinical …
BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the major public health problems worldwide with high morbidity and mortality. Nowadays, traditional medicine may hold promise for the treatment of cancers. Gossypol-acetic acid (GAA) is a male contr…
BACKGROUND: The transcription factor Snail2 is a repressor of E-cadherin expression during carcinogenesis; however, the specific mechanisms involved in this process in human colorectal cancer (CRC) remain largely unknown. METHOD: We checke…
BACKGROUND Increasing the success rate of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) is a duty of clinicians that has made many seek a variety of protocols. This study was undertaken to use a liquid chromatography-ma…
OBJECTIVES: To establish red fluorescent human endometriosis lesions in a nude mouse model and dynamically and non-invasively to compare intraperitoneal and subcutaneous injection models. STUDY DESIGN: Primary cultures of endometrial strom…
The prevalence of moderately elevated TSH levels consistent with subclinical hypothyroidism (2.5-4.0 μIU/mL) was 23% in a cohort of 1,231 women pursuing assisted reproductive technologies. Preconception elevated levels of TSH were associate…
OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of recombinant human FSH (rhFSH) with rhFSH with four additional O-linked carbohydrates (rhFSH-CTP), rhFSH with four additional N-linked carbohydrates (rhFSH-N4), and the current gold standard for rodent o…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: We reviewed the records for 571 gynecologic laparoscopies performed at a privately owned general hospital in Kaosiung Taiwan in 1998 and 1999 and discuss here the major obstacles we encountered while introducing t…
