Vaginal atresia is a rare anomaly of the female reproductive tract that significantly impacts women's reproductive health and quality of life. Although there has been relatively extensive research on the clinical manifestations and differen…

Female health and the microbiota of the reproductive tract are closely associated. The research scope on reproductive tract microbiota extends from the vaginal to the upper reproductive tract and from infectious diseases to various benign a…

BACKGROUND: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common chronic respiratory disease in preterm infants, and its incidence has gradually increased with advances in medical technology. BPD is associated with multiple complications, significa…

RATIONALE: Sepsis following hysteroscopy is an rare complication, with current evidence suggesting that routine prophylactic antibiotic administration may not be warranted. However, this does not imply that we should disregard vigilance reg…

Pyroptosis is an inflammatory form of cell death involving caspase-1 or caspase-4/5/11, initiated by inflammasomes or cytoplasmic endotoxins as part of the immune defense. It is specifically characterized by Gasdermin-mediated pore formatio…

Abstract Endometriosis is a common yet often underdiagnosed condition, partly due to the lack of reliable diagnostics. This study examines the clinical feasibility of a blood-based, miRNA-driven test to diagnose endometriosis and address th…

Endometriosis is a prevalent gynaecological disorder characterized by estrogen-dependent lesions. Pain-particularly dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and dyspareunia-is the hallmark symptom of endometriosis. While pain mechanisms remain po…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian aging is the main cause of reduced reproductive life span, yet its metabolic profiles remain poorly understood. This study aimed to reveal the metabolic homogeneity and heterogeneity between physiological and pathologica…

Abstract Background Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting ~ 10% of reproductive-age women, often causing pelvic pain and infertility. Despite its prevalence, diagnosis remains delayed due to non-specific symptoms and l…

BACKGROUND: Primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) is often related to adverse neonatal outcomes. But it's currently controversial whether pSS has an adverse effect on female fertility and clinical pregnancy condition. More importantly, it's unclea…

OBJECTIVES: To develop an innovative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based PUMCH (Peking Union Medical College Hospital) classification system aimed at standardising the diagnosis of congenital cervical malformations (CCMs) by identifying …

INTRODUCTION: Chronic endometritis (CE) is a prolonged, mild inflammation of the endometrial lining. This study investigated the impact of the impact of antibiotic treatment combined with vaginal Lactobacillus on pregnancy outcomes in infer…

CHAC1, an essential regulator of oxidative stress and ferroptosis, is increasingly recognized for its significant roles in these cellular processes and its impact on various human diseases and cancers. This review aims to provide a comprehe…

PROBLEM: Adenomyosis (AM) is associated with immune response and inflammation. However, the role of T cell subsets in AM development has not been thoroughly understood. METHOD OF STUDY: Patients with focal or diffuse AM were recruited. Ser…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic and progressive disease that, if diagnosed late, can lead to infertility and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Dysmenorrhea is the most prominent symptom of EMs. However, limited research ex…

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are debilitating gynecological conditions that severely affect the quality of life of women. Traditional diagnostic and treatment methods, including laparoscopic surgery and hormonal therapy, face significant l…

The mechanism involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis is poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to identify key deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) for endometriosis diagnosis and elucidate the possible mechanism, offering novel …

Adhesions are recognised as one of the most common complications of abdominal surgery; their diagnosis and prevention remains a significant unmet need in surgical therapy, affecting negatively a patient's quality of life and healthcare budg…

Abstract Objectives To inform dysmenorrhea for exploring the possible pathogenesis of adenomyosis based on MRI classification criteria and serum CA125. Methods Patients before focused ultrasound ablation surgery were categorized into …

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a multifaceted inflammatory disorder stemming from the aberrant activation of trypsin within the pancreas. Despite the contribution of various factors to the pathogenesis of AP, such as trypsin activation, dysregu…

BACKGROUND: Myofascial pelvic pain (MFPP), which is identified by tender points in the pelvic floor musculature, is a prevalent source of chronic pelvic pain in women. It may lead to physical and mental exhaustion, reproductive concerns, an…

BACKGROUND: The treatment for recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) has been addressed in international guidelines. However, limited studies have investigated the risk factors associated with pregnancy and live birth outcomes in patients with RPL …

The sex ratio shift was observed in peoples who underwent ART treatment. Moreover, there is limited evidence on differences in sex ratio between single frozen-thawed blastocyst morphology, insemination type and transfer days. So further res…

INTRODUCTION: Previous studies have indicated the association between smooth endoplasmic reticulum aggregates (SERa+) and poorer medically assisted reproduction outcomes. However, the link between SERa+ and neonatal outcomes remains controv…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the number of cells in D3-stage embryos of high-quality blastocysts as a contributing factor, to evaluate the clinical pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles, and to determine the impact of D3-s…
