BACKGROUND: Pelvic floor surface electromyography (sEMG) is widely used to evaluate and treat pelvic floor dysfunctions (PFDs). Based on sEMG, the Glazer protocol was developed over 20 years ago with a limited sample size, making it challen…
Endometriosis, an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder prevalent in reproductive-age women, is characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, leading to chronic pain and infertility. Current therapeut…

PURPOSE: Living habits affect female endocrine function and fertility, along with aging and other life factors. Because of this, female reproductive health can be promoted through living habit adjustment. METHODS: We used two-sample Mendel…
OBJECTIVES: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), however, the evidence is limited. This study aimed to explore the associations between PFAS in the follicular fluid and PCO…
OBJECTIVE: To develop an automatic segmentation model to delineate the adnexal masses and construct a machine learning model to differentiate between low malignant risk and intermediate-high malignant risk of adnexal masses based on ovarian…
BACKGROUND: Matrix remodeling-associated 7 (MXRA7) plays a key role in physiological and pathological processes involving the extracellular matrix (ECM) and tissue remodeling. Recent studies have highlighted its functions in tissue injury, …
Infertility impacts 48 million couples globally, and accumulating evidence suggests that micronutrients potentially influence reproductive health. This Mendelian randomization study investigates causal relationships between 15 micronutrient…
In recent years, the incidence of infertility has been on the rise, and accurately evaluating the tubal status is of great significance in the diagnostic work-up of infertile women. HyCoSy has a certain proportion of false positives and fal…
BACKGROUND: The causal bridge from environmental exposure to endometriosis (Ems) biology remains incompletely defined. Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is repeatedly implicated in elevated Ems risk, yet actionable molecular anchors linking…
BACKGROUND: Accurate preoperative staging of endometrioma (EC) is essential for optimal treatment planning. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of intravenous contrast-enhanced ultrasound (IV-CEUS) as a potential modality…
Antibodies have been widely used globally over the past decade and play an increasingly important role in modern medicine. Notably, significant advancements have been achieved in the realm of gynecology, particularly in gynecological cancer…
Bone remodeling represents a dynamic equilibrium orchestrated by mechanobiological and endocrine signals, with YAP/TAZ and ERα emerging as pivotal regulators of skeletal adaptation. YAP/TAZ functions as the central mechanotransduction hub o…
RESEARCH QUESTION: To investigate the underlying mechanisms driving the opposing effects of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGFβ1) on the proliferation of control (CESCs) and ectopic (EESCs) endometrial stromal cells. DESIGN: Cell proli…
Pregnancy is a special time during which some benign hormonally-responsive lesions could grow and mimic malignancy on clinical evaluation and imaging. Though decidualization of ovarian endometrioma has been reported, little is known about d…
INTRODUCTION: Pregnancy is a special time during which some benign hormonally-responsive lesions could grow and mimic malignancy on clinical evaluation and imaging. Though decidualization of ovarian endometrioma has been reported, little is…
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: We aimed to develop and validate a clinically applicable risk assessment model for identifying women at a high risk of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) based on a retrospective practice. METHODS: This study enrolled…
INTRODUCTION: To assess the effects of oral dydrogesterone on the recurrence rate of endometrial polyps (EPs) and abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) symptoms after transcervical resection of polyps (TCRP). METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A randomised, …
PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of intraoperative low-dose esketamine administered at anesthesia induction on postoperative quality of recovery in total laparoscopic hysterectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: One-hundred six female patients sc…
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to demonstrate that the EN2 protein in cervical mucus may serve as a novel biomarker for screening endometrial cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 133 patients who were treated at Beijing Obstetric…
BACKGROUND: To compare the clinical outcomes between frozen-thawed cleavage embryo transfer and frozen-thawed day 6 blastocyst transfer in patients younger than 35 using the freeze-all strategy without day 5 blastocyst formation. METHODS: …
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is often diagnosed late and presents significant challenges in clinical treatment. A comprehensive investigation of the cellular classification and composition of endometriosis is essential for studying its diagnos…
BACKGROUND: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) significantly impacts women's quality of life, with laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) considered the gold standard for treatment. However, LSC carries risks of complications, prompting exploration of …
Primordial follicles form the non-renewable germline reserve in female mammals; their limited number is a key determinant of reproductive lifespan and is crucial for female fertility. Insufficient or parasomnia sleep is common in females, y…
Abnormal apoptosis both maintains endometrial cell growth and induces endometrial pathogenesis. The etiology of endometriosis is unclear and no treatment is curative. Therefore, the aim herein was to identify genes involved in the pathogene…
