BACKGROUND: Smoking and alcohol consumption have been consistently associated with adverse female reproductive outcomes; however, whether these associations reflect causal effects or are mediated by specific circulating metabolites remains …

IntroductionFemale diseases pose significant challenges in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly among adolescent girls and young women, who often receive insufficient attention.ObjectivesTo report patterns and trends of female di…

Iron overload induces cellular stress and is implicated in diverse pathological conditions. Nevertheless, the epigenetic mechanisms governing mammalian cellular responses to iron overload remain poorly characterized. Using multi-omics profi…

BackgroundOver 2.5 million cycles in vitro fertilization (IVF) are conducted annually, and numbers are expected to rise with the aging population. The controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) process, key to IVF success, is inherently complex. …

ObjectivesThis study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ovarian vein embolization combined with polidocanol sclerotherapy for Venous-origin chronic pelvic pain (VO-CPP) and to elucidate potential risk factors affecting prognosis.Me…

This study aimed to investigate how levels of serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) on Day 7 of ovarian stimulation are related to the number of oocytes retrieved, and identify any cutoff or threshold point in protocols using gonadotropi…

Adenomyosis (AM), an estrogen‑dependent chronic inflammatory disease with a rising incidence, has emerged as a major cause of infertility and reduced clinical pregnancy rates in reproductive‑aged women, severely impairing reproductive healt…

Growing evidence highlights the role of microbiota, including those of the gut, reproductive tract, and endometrial tissue, as critical functional drivers in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EM). Studies have revealed a characteristic mic…

Ferroptosis, characterized by lipid peroxidation and iron-dependent oxidative damage, is a crucial factor in various diseases. Although researchers have extensively characterized ferroptosis in cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, its in…

Sleep disorders and deficiencies can up-regulate pro-inflammatory mediators, but their potential adverse impact on ovarian function remains not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the immunoregulatory mechanisms underlying slee…

Adenomyosis is a common and difficult disease in gynecology. Its main clinical manifestations include uterine hypertrophy, excessive menstruation, pelvic pain and infertility, which have a serious impact on women's health. Seriously affects…

IntroductionOvarian cancer (OC) and endometrial cancer (EC) represent two prevalent tumors within the female reproductive system, characterized by high incidence rates. Nonetheless, the clinicopathological features of synchronous endometria…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between preoperative pathologic characteristics and the risk of postoperative recurrence in endometriosis (EMs) patients, and to develop a clinical predictive model. METHODS: A retrospective analys…

Vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) is a chronic skin condition affecting the vulva, causing significant discomfort, but its etiology in prepubertal girls remains poorly understood. VLS presents with itching, irritation, and pain. Recent studies …

Spatial transcriptomics enables in situ molecular profiling, allowing to measure the cellular transcriptional output within the tissue. As the tissue architecture is conserved, spatial domains with specific transcriptional patterns can be i…

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a common abdominal emergency in clinical practice. Approximately 20%-40% of patients with SAP will be associated with acute lung injury (SAP-ALI), which is a major cause of death. Emodin (EMO) is a natural…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the pregnancy and perinatal outcomes of different phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients during the frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Additionally, to analyze the T cell balance in the endometrium of…

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 …

Endometrial dysfunction underlies many common gynecologic disorders, such as endometriosis, endometrial cancer, intrauterine adhesions, and endometritis, which affect many women around the world. Extracellular vesicles play an important rol…

Diseases of the female reproductive system are prevalent. These conditions often have a high proportion of asymptomatic patients and prolonged treatment durations. Estrogen, a crucial steroid hormone, plays a central role in most diseases o…

BackgroundProgrammed protocols are most commonly chosen as endometrial preparation for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. However, the efficacy of gonadotropin-releasing horm…

This study aims to identify angiogenesis-associated genes (AAGs) in endometriosis (EM) by integrating bioinformatics analysis with machine learning, and to investigate their underlying mechanisms. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were …

Abstract Delayed diagnosis of endometriosis (EM) can significantly hinder treatment options and patient prognosis, adversely affecting fertility and increasing the risk of malignancy. Current diagnostic methods are invasive. In our study, …

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis, a chronic oestrogen-dependent disorder, presents significant clinical challenges including pelvic pain, dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia and infertility. While numerous interventions exist, evidence guiding the choice…
