RATIONALE: Adenomyosis and simple endometrial hyperplasia are common benign gynecological conditions. However, atypical presentations with extreme endometrial thickening and associated diagnostic challenges have rarely been reported. PATIE…

The glycolipid metabolism 7 factors (GLM7) index is a novel composite glycolipid index that includes age, triglycerides, fasting blood glucose, body mass index, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and …

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the correlation between angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and explore the clinical diagnostic value of ANGPTL8 in PCOS. METHODS: In this retrospective case-control study, we in…

Since its discovery, cell-free mitochondrial DNA (cf-mtDNA) has emerged as a promising non-invasive molecular marker for disease diagnosis and prognosis. However, the biological origins of cf-mtDNA remain incompletely understood, which limi…

Endometrial carcinoma, a prevailing malignancy of the female reproductive system, exhibits escalating incidence and a trend towards early onset. Hormone therapy serves as a primary choice for fertility preservation and is also considered fo…

BACKGROUND: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a rare and severe subtype of endometriosis that can cause marked distortion of pelvic anatomy. Diagnosis becomes particularly challenging when it presents as an acute abdomen with signifi…

BACKGROUND: Primary dysmenorrhea is fundamentally driven by uterine ischemia resulting from excessive vascular resistance. While acupuncture is theorized to improve perfusion, high-quality evidence controlling for pharmacological confounder…

Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging environmental pollutants, but evidence concerning their effects on endometrial injury and adverse pregnancy outcomes remains limited. Therefore, we employed the Targeted Risk Assessment of Environ…

Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is characterized by a decline in oocyte quantity and/or quality and represents a growing cause of female infertility, particularly among young women, yet its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Dis…

BACKGROUND: Excessive activation of inflammatory responses and oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of endometriosis (EMs), which is characterized by ectopic lesion growth and chronic pelvic pain. However, effective…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of reproductive-age women, with a diagnostic delay of 7-10 years. Despite clinical heterogeneity, current rASRM staging poorly predicts treatment outcomes. Molecular subtyping may reveal b…

This Correspondence is a formal response to the Comment by Dr. Machado regarding our publication "Creatine Promotes Endometriosis by Inducing Ferroptosis Resistance via Suppression of PrP." We address several conceptual concerns raised in t…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is characterized by inflammation and fibrosis, in which cytokines and cytokine-macrophage interactions serve as critical mediators. However, the specific mechanisms that initiate the fibrotic cascade in endometrios…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis (EMs) is increasingly recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease in which innate immune dysregulation plays an important role. Its immunopathological features include macrophage polarization imbalance, with M1-…

BACKGROUND: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) plays a prominent role in endometriosis research, but the evolution and current status of this field have not been systematically mapped. METHODS: This bibliometric study systematically analyzed publ…

INTRODUCTION: Hydrosalpinx is one of the common organic causes of infertility, and the accumulation of fluid in this condition can severely affect embryo implantation and development. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We collected fallopian tube fluid…

Ovarian cancer (OC) remains a highly lethal gynecologic malignancy characterized by substantial molecular heterogeneity and diagnostic challenges. Although many reviews examine specific aspects of OC biology or treatment, few attempt to con…

IMPORTANCE: Excess cryopreserved embryos present financial, logistical, and ethical constraints on patients and fertility clinics that are further complicated by the recently evolving US judicial landscape that may alter the legal status of…

BACKGROUND: This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine in treating postoperative acute pain through a clinical randomized controlled trial. METHODS: This study selected 165 patients who underwent general anes…

Adding plant extracts to diets to enhance sow performance and health is widely regarded as a healthy and sustainable practice. In promoting antibiotic-free farming, plant extracts have emerged as a leading solution for enhancing sow fertili…

This study investigated differences in reproductive outcomes and vaginal microbiota profiles between two endometrial preparation protocols-letrozole (LE) combined with human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) and hormone replacement therapy (HRT…

OBJECTIVES: Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is a rare and specific type of leiomyomatosis that is often misdiagnosed as malignant tumor with peritoneal metastasis, and accurate diagnosis is critical to treatment planning. The …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis often causes chronic pain and fertility issues, exacerbating the risk of depression and complicating conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, which further impacts quality of life. This study aimed to explore the dete…

BACKGROUND: With the development of society, fertility seems to have become a public health issue in East Asian countries. At present, there is insufficient attention to infertility, especially male infertility. Understanding the burden and…

This study evaluated the reproductive toxicity and reversibility of gossypol exposure in female Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice using the Targeted Risk Assessment of Environmental Chemicals (TRAEC) framework. Mice treated with gossy…
