Poor ovarian response (POR) constitutes a notable clinical challenge within the domain of assisted reproductive technology, primarily attributable to the lack of reliable biomarkers for precise diagnosis and treatment. This study reveals si…
OBJECTIVE: This retrospective cohort study compares perioperative outcomes of reduced Trendelenburg positioning (≤ 20°) versus conventional steep angles (≥ 30°) in gasless vNOTES for benign gynecologic conditions. METHODS: Of 102 enrolled p…
BACKGROUND: Infertility constitutes a dyadic stressor, as it inherently involves both members of a couple; nevertheless, its psychological impact is frequently evaluated from an individual perspective. We tested whether etiologic diagnosis …
The present study investigated the role of melatonin (MT) in regulating mitochondrial function via sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) in granulosa cells (GCs) from patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), with a focus on mitochondrial protection. Not…
Endometrial polyps (EPs) are common uterine lesions associated with abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility, yet their pathogenesis remains poorly defined. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of normal endometrium, para-polyp, a…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory gynaecological disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Early diagnosis remains challenging because definitive diagnosis still relies on invasive surgical co…
Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, a renowned medicinal herb, exerts many of its systemic effects through intricate interactions with the gut microbiota, a relationship that also addresses the challenge of its own limited oral bioavailability. This …
BACKGROUND: Vitamin D deficiency is a global public health concern, and women of reproductive age represent a particularly vulnerable population. Accurate measurement of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is therefore essential for reliabl…
Gynecological cancers present significant therapeutic challenges due to heterogeneity, drug resistance, and the lack of precise diagnostic tools. Selenium (Se), an essential trace element with intrinsic anticancer activity, has emerged as a…
Pregnant women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) have an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), potentially linked to altered immune regulation, but the underlying circulating immune features remain unclear. …
BACKGROUND: Gynecological diseases, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis, are prevalent global health concerns. Conventional diagnostics often rely on invasive procedures or costly imaging, limiting accessibility in re…
BACKGROUND: The risk of ectopic pregnancy (EP) is known to increase with assisted reproductive technology (ART), but the specific risk factors are unclear. METHODS: We screened 6872 cycles for clinical data that met our study's inclusion c…
We report the findings of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of endometriosis across 14 biobanks worldwide, including 32% non-European patient participants, as part of the Global Biobank Meta-Analysis Initiative (GBMI). Ou…
Advanced maternal age is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, the impact of changes in maternal physiology, biochemistry, vaginal microbiome, and its metabolites related to reproductive age on pregnancy outcomes is uncertain…
The enteric glial cells (EGCs) are the main components of the enteric nervous system (ENS) and contribute to the development of slow transit constipation (STC). In this study, we aimed to explore the effects of neferine (Nef) on EGCs based …
In recent decades, the pharmacological properties of botanical drugs have been investigated with increasing depth, offering novel insights into their potential for enhancing healthcare. Berberine (BBR) is an alkaloid extracted from the root…
Carbon-based electrochemical sensors have attracted substantial attention for continuous health monitoring due to their high surface area, wide potential window, capability for repeated measurements, and compatibility with soft wearable ele…
Intrauterine adhesions (IUA), characterized by endometrial fibrosis, pose a serious threat to women's reproductive health, yet their molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we use single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to profi…
Objectives: To investigate the diagnostic performance of texture analysis using multi-parameter MRI in distinguishing between benign and malignant lesions with ovarian-adnexal magnetic resonance imaging report and data system (O-RADS MRI) s…
Laparoscopic surgery is the method of choice for numerous surgical procedures, while it confronts a lot of challenges. Computer vision exerts a vital role in addressing these challenges and has become a research hotspot, especially in the c…
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture combined with Chinese herbs versus Chinese herbs alone in treating uterine fibroids. METHODS: A literature search of eight databases identified nin…
BACKGROUND: Cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common type of cervical carcinoma. Usually, the cancer metastasizes through lymphatic or hematogenous dissemination. However, it is uncommon for a superficial spreading of cervi…
We report the findings of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of endometriosis consisting of a large portion (31%) of non-European samples across 14 biobanks worldwide as part of the Global Biobank Meta-Analysis Initiative …
BACKGROUND: Mifepristone is a selective progesterone receptor modulator with decades of data demonstrating its potential as a highly effective emergency as well as non-emergency contraceptive. Despite considerable evidence pointing to the p…
The quality of oocytes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) decreases, which is closely related to the function of oocytes' mitochondria. If mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in PCOS, it is likely to affect the function of …
