RationaleThe accurate classification of retroperitoneal neoplasms remains challenging, particularly when distinguishing between epithelioid leiomyoma and perivascular epitheloid cell tumor (PEComa) due to significant histological and immuno…

OBJECTIVE: Systemic inflammatory response plays a key role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. This study aimed to investigate the association between the aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI), defined as neutrophil count × plat…

Infertility is a prevalent clinical issue which disrupts normal human life and exerts an impact on fertility rates within the population. The increase in environmental pollutants, including acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), has given rise to …

Female infertility, accounting for 40–50% of infertility cases globally, underscores the urgent need for non-invasive biomarkers to guide early intervention. Cell-free DNA (cfDNA)—released via apoptosis, necrosis, or active secretion—has em…

BackgroundPelvic floor myofascial pain (PFMP) is an important yet often overlooked cause of chronic pelvic pain (CPP). The currently available diagnostic methods are limited due to issues such as insufficient efficacy and difficulties in pr…

BACKGROUND: Effective individualized tools to predict cumulative live birth rates are lacking for patients with ovarian endometriomas undergoing In Vitro Fertilization or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection after ultrasound-guided ethanol scle…

A teenage girl presented with sudden lower abdominal pain following exercise, prompting initial consideration of ovarian cyst rupture by the attending emergency physician. However, the presence of unilateral renal absence on Computed Tomogr…

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to examine the impact of semaphorin 3F (SEMA3F) on the proliferation, migration and ferroptosis of endometrial stromal cells in patients with endometriosis (EMS). METHODS: This study collected …

IntroductionPCOS is the most common disorder encompassing reproductive, metabolic, and endocrine abnormalities, and has an increased risk of adverse pregnancy and neonatal complications, such as miscarriage, gestational diabetes mellitus, a…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by tumor-like growth behavior and limited therapeutic options. Increasing evidence suggests that gut microbiota may contribute to EMs progression by promoting c…

BackgroundSalpingitis is a leading cause of female infertility and ectopic pregnancy worldwide. Despite advances in reproductive medicine, its early diagnosis and effective prevention of long-term sequelae remain challenging due to its ofte…

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are a class of chemical substances with environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, and high toxicity, which are widely present in the environment and food chains. Prostate cancer (PCa) is a highly preva…

Infertility affects ~1 in 6 people of reproductive age and remains difficult to treat because causes are heterogeneous and diagnostics are incomplete. Recent evidence reframes the female reproductive tract as a low-biomass but biologically …

BACKGROUND: Ovarian ectopic pregnancy (OEP) is a rare and life-threatening condition that is typically diagnosed post-rupture. Its diagnosis and management become more complex when it is concurrent with ovarian endometrioma, as the latter m…

BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, repeated oocyte retrieval cycles are often necessary for patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). It has been hypothesized that the mechanical stimulation from the initial oocyte pick-up (OPU) proced…

Protein lipidation, a pivotal post-translational modification, dynamically regulates cellular signaling, membrane trafficking, and protein stability, with emerging roles in reproductive physiology. However, the systematic understanding of h…

BackgroundProtein palmitoylation is a significant post-translational modification that influences protein stability, localization, and signaling through the addition of palmitoyl groups to cysteine, serine/threonine, or lysine residues. It …

Recent advancements in tissue clearing and three-dimensional (3D) visualization technologies have enabled subcellular-level examination of entire organs, particularly in complex structures such as the ovary and uterus. Traditional histologi…

The management of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is rapidly evolving, with immune checkpoint inhibitors emerging as a prominent treatment approach. However, drug development targeting specific molecular and cellular abnormalities in NPC has sl…

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is widely acknowledged as the prevailing reproductive endocrine disorder accompanied by numerous metabolic dysfunctions. However, there has been a lack of systematic examination regarding the amino…

Introduction and hypothesisFemale bladder pain syndrome (FBPS), previously known as interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). Numerous research indirectly prove that Female bladder pain syndrome (FBPS) is associated with immune-…

ObjectiveTo propose a prediction model aimed at increasing the live birth rate of patients undergoing two-cell embryo transfer while eliminating multiple pregnancy complications.MethodsWomen who underwent their first In Vitro Fertilization …

BackgroundSpontaneous abortion has been associated with higher risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), while the evidence remains equivocal. This study aimed to examine the association between sponta…

This study investigates the effects of astaxanthin on oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and follicular development in mouse preantral follicles, with a focus on the involvement of the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase…
