Breast cancer (BC) stands as the predominant form of cancer affecting women globally, with its etiology rooted in a complex interplay of factors. Emerging research underscores the significant impact of microbiota on the development of BC. E…

BACKGROUND: This network meta-analysis (NMA) aimed to explore the impact of Non-pharmacological therapies (NPT) on alleviating primary dysmenorrhea (PD) symptoms and assess the effectiveness differences among various NPT. METHODS: We searc…

INTRODUCTION: Irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by constipation, abdominal discomfort, and a substantial impact on patients' quality of life. While acupuncture …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pregnancy and perinatal outcomes of different phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients during the frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Additionally, to analyze the T cell balance in the endometrium …

IN BRIEF: Preeclampsia is a severe pregnancy-related complication that can result in adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Current therapeutic options for preeclampsia remain limited. This study demonstrates that epicatechin can inhibit pyro…

BACKGROUND: Substantial impacts on the female reproductive system have been definitively linked to heightened levels of serum uric acid. However, evidence directly linking increased serum uric acid levels to endometriosis in women remains s…

BACKGROUND: The human body's intestinal microbiota is a vital "organ" that coexists with it and is intimately linked to both human health and illness. Human intestinal microbiota and its metabolites are a crucial component in the developmen…

As one of the three major malignant tumors in women, the morbidity of endometrial cancer is second only to that of cervical cancer and is increasing yearly. Its etiological mechanism is not clear, and the risk factors are numerous and commo…

BACKGROUND: Surgery is the primary treatment for Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (ESS), however, a substantial proportion of patients with ESS experience recurrence or metastasis. Currently, surgery and local ablation are the main treatments fo…

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…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Immunohistochemical analysis (IHC) revealed markedly elevated expression of IL6ST in endometrial tissue of patients…

BACKGROUND: Approximately 50% of the women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are overweight or obese and obesity can significantly impair reproductive function. This study aimed to investigate the association between body mass index (BM…

BACKGROUND: Overweight and obesity are link to impaired endometrial receptivity and decreased pregnancy success in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Depot gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) pretreatment before hormone…

BACKGROUND: Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a gynecological endocrine disorder with current treatments having limitations. Kuntai capsule (KTC), a traditional Chinese medicine formulation, is thought to be beneficial for POF, but its mec…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian seromucinous tumors represent a rare subclass of ovarian neoplasms. While the majority of these tumors are benign, the potential for malignant transformation persists and should be considered. To enhance patient outcome …

BACKGROUND: The incidence and fatality rates of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are increasing, and the acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) causes poor prognosis in patients. AIM: This study evaluated the clinical role of seru…

INTRODUCTION: Ovarian cancer significantly contributes to cancer-related deaths among women. Resistance to anchorage-dependent cell death (anoikis) plays a vital role in facilitating metastasis and worsening patient prognosis. Recent develo…

OBJECTIVE: Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is a recurrent disease. The current treatments for PD often fail to provide long-lasting effects, underscoring the necessity for new treatment options that can offer durable benefits. Previous studies ha…

BACKGROUND: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a ubiquitous sexually transmitted infection globally, frequently associated with sexual behaviors characterized by increased frequency and multiple partnerships. The relationship between v…

RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the lipidomic alterations in the myometrial tissue from adenomyotic lesions? DESIGN: This was a two-centre, prospective, observational study conducted between July 2023 and June 2024. Forty-four premenopausal pa…

BACKGROUND: To compare in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) pregnancy outcomes following endometrial polypectomy using either a manual mechanical hysteroscopic tissue resection device (mHTR) or traditional mechanical resectio…

Rising rates of infertility have stimulated interest in dietary supplements to improve oocyte quality through mitochondrial function, antioxidant activity, and epigenetically regulated metabolic pathways. Mitochondria provides adenosine tri…

The female reproductive system represents a highly complex regulatory network governing critical physiological functions, encompassing reproductive capacity and endocrine regulation that maintains female physiological homeostasis. The in vi…

BACKGROUND: The global health crisis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to impact people of all age groups worldwide. Recent studies increasingly support that COVID-19 infection may affect reproductive function, causing subfer…
