Abstract Introduction Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder characterized by immune dysregulation. This condition profoundly affects the quality of life and reproductive health of nearly 200 million women of rep…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between lipid accumulation product (LAP) and endometriosis using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), because lipid metabolism alterations and obesity have been i…

Ubiquitously distributed in the environment, food supply, and consumer products, endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are exogenous substances that disrupt hormonal activities in the endocrine system. Increasing evidence suggests that wome…

BackgroundInflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic, idiopathic inflammatory disorder of the intestines. Oxymatrine (OMT) is a naturally active substance found in the desiccated roots of Sophora flavescens. It possesses anti-tumor, anti…

BackgroundAs women age, their ovarian follicle pool naturally declines. However, female germline stem cells (FGSCs) possess a unique ability to differentiate into oocytes and continuously self-renew, providing an effective means of delaying…

Peptide- and protein-based therapeutics offer realized and potential benefits to health, due to their potent bioactivity, high specificity, and favorable safety characteristics. However, their widespread clinical application is constrained …

Endometrial fibrosis can lead to uterine infertility. Accurate staging of endometrial fibrosis is crucial for developing treatment plans and performing dynamic follow-ups. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of radiomics models bas…

Intrauterine adhesions (IUA), characterized by endometrial fibrosis, pose a serious threat to women's reproductive health, yet their molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we use single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to profi…

This review examines the neurobiological mechanisms by which plant-derived compounds influence women's reproductive health through the neuroendocrine-reproductive axis. Gynecological disorders frequently present with neurological manifestat…

Macrophages have great plasticity. Typically, there are two of activated macrophages: M1 macrophages and M2 macrophages. Of them, M1 macrophages play a major role in responses that are pro-inflammatory, while M2 macrophages play an importan…

BackgroundIncreasing number of studies have demonstrated certain patterns of microbial changes in gynecological diseases; however, the interaction between them remains unclear. To evaluate the consistency or specificity across multiple stud…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease, characterized by overgrowth of endometrial glands and stroma in the myometrium, however its exact pathophysiology still remains uncertain. Emerging evidence has demonstrated the ele…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, a prevalent chronic gynecological condition, is frequently associated with infertility and pelvic pain. Despite numerous studies indicating a correlation between epigenetic regulation and endometriosis, its precis…

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) during the menopausal transition results in reproductive endocrine disorders and both physiological and pathological changes, substantially impacting women's health. This study aimed to investigate the factor…

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of coils plus glue (CPG) in slope embankment technology vs coils plus sclerosant (CPS) in treating reflux-type pelvic venous disorders.MethodsThe analysis included patients …

Observational studies have previously reported an association between depression and certain female reproductive disorders. However, the causal relationships between depression and different types of female reproductive disorders remain unc…

BackgroundPlacental anomalies, including placenta previa (PP), placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAS), and vase previa (VP), are associated with several adverse foetal-neonatal and maternal complications. However, there is still a lack o…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic estrogen-dependent condition characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, posing a significant burden on reproductive-aged women. Previous research has shown a corr…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the expression and clinical significance of HIF-1α and DcR3 in endometriosis by analysing clinical case data. Tissue samples were collected for tissue chip analysis and staining, and human…

Invasive hydatidiform mole, a form of gestational trophoblastic neoplasm in reproductive-age women, poses a significant threat to life due to its associated signs and symptoms. This case report details the management of a 24-year-old Chines…

As a chronic inflammatory bowel disease, the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC) has not been fully elucidated. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, observed in various RNAs, is implicated in inflammatory bowel diseases. Methyltransfe…

BACKGROUND: Interleukin (IL)-2 is a key cytokine capable of modulating the immune response by activating natural killer (NK) cells. This study was recruited to explore the therapeutic potential of IL-2-activated NK-92 cells in endometriosis…

BackgroundRecurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) frequently links to a prolonged endometrial receptivity (ER) window, leading to the implantation of non-viable embryos. Existing ER assessment methods face challenges in reliability and invasiveness.…

BackgroundEnsuring women's sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is a fundamental human right and key to 2030 agenda of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), yet limited evidence exists on SRH in China, including national estimates an…
