Appendix intussusception (AI), with ~200 reported cases, is a rare condition in which the appendix invaginates into the cecum [1]. Etiologies include benign and malignant pathologies including both intraluminal and extraluminal lesions, but…

Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a severe form of endometriosis that rarely undergoes malignant transformation, and when it does, diagnosis is often difficult. Here, we report two cases of long-standing DIE that progressed to endome…

Oocyte/embryo defects can result in oocyte maturation arrest, fertilization failure, embryonic arrest, and infertility as well as recurrent in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) failures. However, the genet…

Background and objectiveIleal ureter replacement (IUR) is the definitive management approach for extensive ureteral strictures (UrSs). Patients with UrS exhibit poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We conducted a long-term, multi-in…

Endometriosis (EM) is a prevalent gynecological disorder linked to pelvic pain, menstrual disturbances, and infertility. Despite its clinical burden, the molecular mechanisms underlying EM remain elusive, necessitating the discovery of nove…

Endometriosis (EMs) is an estrogen-dependent, chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by immune microenvironment dysregulation, a critical factor in its pathogenesis. Despite existing therapies, limitations persist, highlighting the urg…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterine cavity and is associated with pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Although several theori…

Pregnant women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) have an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), potentially linked to altered immune regulation, but the underlying circulating immune features remain unclear. …

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis (AM) is a common gynecological disorder in reproductive-age women, with impaired endometrial receptivity as a key contributor to infertility. However, a comprehensive single-cell atlas of the eutopic endometrium duri…

Endometrial immune disorders create an inhospitable endometrial environment for embryonic nidation in endometriosis. CD8 + tissue resident memory T cells (CD8 +TRM) are abundant tissue resident immune cells in endometrium, but the effect of…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis, a common gynecological disorder in women of reproductive age, is characterized by endometrial invasion into the myometrium, leading to uterine enlargement and smooth muscle hypertrophy. Typical clinical symptoms inc…

BackgroundPreimplantation embryos in vivo are exposed to various growth factors in the female reproductive tract that are absent in in vitro embryo culture media. Cell-free fat extract exerts antioxidant, anti-ageing, and ovarian function-p…

AimThis study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the detection of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders in a single tertiary care setting.Materials and methodsAll eligible…

BackgroundTo investigate the predictive role of a risk assessment model constructed using Caprini score combined with D-dimer in gynecological postoperative patients for the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis.MethodsPatients scheduled for g…

BACKGROUND: Female infertility is a global health issue, with metabolic disorders emerging as significant contributors. Liver steatosis, characterized by excessive hepatic fat accumulation, is closely linked to metabolic dysfunction and may…

Reduced lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF1) expression in patients with adenomyosis during the mid-secretory phase leads to impaired endometrial receptivity, affecting embryo implantation. This study investigated the molecular mechani…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness and safety of different acupuncture-related therapies combined with pharmacotherapies for treating symptomatic endometriosis. METHODS: A pre-defined search strategy was conducted across eight databas…

BACKGROUND: Infertility represents a prevalent condition affecting the reproductive system. It has a global incidence of approximately 17.5%. Nutritional supplements are increasingly used as complementary therapy for female infertility, tho…

Fibrosis, marked by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation, underlies functional decline in numerous diseases and often presents with sex-specific differences in severity. Although biochemical pathways have been widely studied, t…

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA), defined as two or more consecutive pregnancy losses, affects 1%-5% of couples and poses a significant challenge to reproductive health. Despite its prevalence, the underlying etiology remains elusive in…

ObjectivesPrevious studies suggested that immune factors may play critical roles in female infertility, but their causal links remain unclear. To address this gap, this study employs the Mendelian randomization (MR) to delineate the causal …

Hysteroscopic myomectomy is the first-line treatment for the removal of submucosal myoma in women facing fertility requirements. However, in the face of large diameter type 2 submucosal myoma, patients are at greater risk of complications s…

BackgroundOverweight and obesity can induce an inflammatory milieu in the oocyte microenvironment and are closely associated with reduced assisted reproductive outcomes.ObjectiveHow are immune cells, cytokines and lipid profiles altered in …
