Endometriosis is a common, estrogen-driven chronic gynecologic disorder defined by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue within the peritoneal cavity. Existing treatment options, primarily surgery and hormonal therapy, are limited b…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of three endometrial preparation protocols-hormone replacement therapy (HRT), natural cycle (NC), and down-regulation HRT-on pregnancy outcomes in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles among patients with …

Despite recent advancements in diagnostic techniques and infertility treatments, the precise underlying cause of infertility remains elusive in numerous cases. Elevated immune cell levels in the reproductive tract frequently result in decre…

AIM: To systematically assess the prevalence of sexual dysfunction among patients suffering from endometriosis. METHODS: A literature search was carried out using databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wanfang from the incepti…

PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of regressed endometrial hyperplasia (EH) on assisted reproductive technology outcomes, particularly in comparison with infertile women with a relatively normal endometrium. METHODS: This retrospective st…

Ferroptosis is a potential target for the treatment of endometriosis (EMs). The role of andrographolide (AP) in the ferroptosis has gradually attracted attention, but its mechanism of action in endometriosis has not been clarified. Here we …

Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a severe condition frequently linked to infertility, yet the optimal integration of surgery and assisted reproductive technology (ART) remains controversial. This study reports two cases of infertili…

Adenomyosis, characterized by clinical intractability, significantly impacts female fertility and life quality due to the absence of definitive diagnostic markers and effective treatment options. The invagination theory is a primary hypothe…

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether prior SARS-CoV-2 infection adversely affects live birth and perinatal outcomes following subsequent frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) and to further investigate whether the time interval between infection and …

RATIONALE: Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) has diverse ischemic etiologies and has been defined by the absence of angiographically significant obstructive coronary artery disease. Blood transfusion has s…

BACKGROUND: Despite proposed mechanisms hypotheses, the etiology of adenomyosis remains unclear. The limited efficacy of current therapeutic approaches may stem from insufficient understanding of its pathobiological underpinnings and the pr…

Background: Ovarian cancer (OV) is a prevalent malignancy among gynecological tumors. Numerous metabolic pathways play a significant role in various human diseases, including malignant tumors. Our study aimed to develop a prognostic signatu…

BACKGROUND: This study aims to explore the link between depression and dysmenorrhea by using an integrated and innovative approach that combines genomic, transcriptomic, and protein interaction data/information from various resources. METH…

Single-port laparoscopy has gained more attention, but inherent technical challenges hinder its wider use. To overcome the disadvantage of traditional single-port surgery, robotic laparoendoscopic single-site surgery system was designed and…

RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the metabolic characteristics of follicular fluid in patients with ovarian endometriosis undergoing IVF? DESIGN: This was an exploratory cohort study on endometriosis. In total, 19 infertile patients with ovaria…

Telomere attrition plays a critical role in the reproductive aging process in humans. Telomere length (TL) is typically regulated by telomerase, the main component of which is telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT). The aim of the present …

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Shrub kava has long been grown and utilized, primarily in the South Pacific region, for ceremonial, religious, and social occasions. It has been used as a pain reliever and muscle relaxant in medicinal practi…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease. Hormonal and surgical treatments are the most commonly used clinical therapies, but they have many sides effects or are traumatic to the body. Therefore, specific drugs fo…

HMGB1 that belongs to the High Mobility Group-box superfamily, is a nonhistone chromatin associated transcription factor. It is present in the nucleus of eukaryotes and can be actively secreted or passively released by kinds of cells. HMGB1…

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a kind of lymphocytes that reside in the tissue and have an essential function in the immune microenvironment. However, the relationship between endometriosis (EMS) and ILCs is complex and not fully understo…
