Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic tissue growth and significant morbidity, yet current hormonal and surgical treatments often fail to prevent recurrence or entail severe side effects. Increasing evid…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of LED red light therapy in alleviating primary dysmenorrhea. METHODS: A total of 119 patients with primary dysmenorrhea were enrolled in 2022. The intervention was LED red light therapy admin…
BACKGROUND: Steroid hormone-driven endometrial decidualization involves the differentiation of endometrial stromal cells into decidual cells, which form the decidua for blastocyst implantation. This process is a prerequisite for successful …
Endometriosis (EMS) remains understudied in effective management strategies. The interplay between macrophage dysfunction and microbiota-derived immune signals emerges as a potential mechanism in EMS pathogenesis, suggesting its relevance f…
Testosterone is commonly measured using immunoassays in clinical practice; however, these methods are subject to analytical interference in both men and women. In women, due to physiologically lower testosterone levels, even modest elevatio…
BACKGROUND: The impact of serum vitamin D levels on the success of assisted reproductive technology (ART) among women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has not been fully explored. METHODS: This cohort study enrolled 111 patients with …
OBJECTIVE: To compare the diagnostic performance of an exosomal ovarian cancer assay (chemiluminescence) with serum CA125 for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), focusing on sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negati…
In this single-center, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial, we investigated whether human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells loaded collagen scaffolds (hUC-MSC/CS) could improve the cumulative live-birth rate (cLBR) in…
BACKGROUND: Patients with benign gallbladder diseases (BGBD) in China are characterized by prolonged illness duration, recurrent acute inflammation and poor medical compliance, all increase difficulty of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). C…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a persistent inflammatory condition whose three main symptoms, mass, pain, and infertility, severely affect female patients of childbearing age. Hu-Po-San (HPS), a preparation consisting of various herbal …
BACKGROUND: Poor ovarian response (POR) is a pathological condition characterized by inadequate ovarian response to gonadotropin stimulation in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. It represents a primary cause of…
OBJECTIVE: To characterize the reproductive tract microbiota in patients with ovarian chocolate cysts (CC) and adenomyosis (AM) compared to controls (NC), and investigate the in vitro effects of representative differential bacteria on human…
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the risk factors of residual/recurrent lesions of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2/3 (CIN2/3) in patients who underwent cold-knife conization (CKC). METHODS: A total of 976 patients with CIN2/3 wh…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of argon plasma coagulation (APC) therapy and interferon therapy in patients with grade I and II vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VaIN). METHODS: A total of 112 patie…
PURPOSE: This study aims to create and validate a clinical model that predict the probability of blastocyst formation in IVF/ICSI-ET cycles. METHODS: This study employed a retrospective methodology, gathering data from 4961 cleavage-stage …
BACKGROUND: Observational studies have explored the impact of iron homeostasis on infertility; however, establishing definitive causal relationships remains challenging. This study utilized a two-sample Mendelian randomization approach to i…
BACKGROUND: The aim of the retrospective cohort study was to investigate the prognostic effect of subchorionic hematomas (SCH) in the first trimester on pregnancy outcomes after euploid embryo transfer. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed…
Telomere length function serves as a critical biomarker for biological aging and overall health. Its maintenance is linked to cancer, neurodegenerative conditions, and reproductive health. This review mainly examines genetic variations and …
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the deadliest women's cancer and has a poor prognosis. Early detection is the key for improving survival (a 5-year survival rate in stage I/II is over 70% compared to that of 25% in stage III/IV) and can b…
Abstract Background Observational studies have shown associations between endometriosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD). But residual confounding and the potential for reverse causality are inevitable in such routine observational studies.…
Appropriate responses to inflammation are conducive to pathogen elimination and tissue repair, while uncontrolled inflammatory reactions are likely to result in the damage of tissues. Chemokine (CC-motif) Ligand 2 (CCL2) is the main chemoki…
PURPOSE: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the role of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in ovarian reserve functions. METHODS: The PECO strategy was employed. Women of reproductive age (Population) and with IBD …
BACKGROUND: In the study, we aimed to evaluate the ability of micro-histology combined with cytology to improve the quality of slides and diagnose endometrial lesions. METHODS: Endometrial specimens were collected from Li Brushes. Every sp…
Negative energy balance (NEB) during the perinatal period leads to metabolic and immunological disorders in dairy cows, resulting in systemic responses and inflammation. The innate immune system is crucial for the host's protection and infl…
