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…

Mass spectrometry (MS) is a widely recognized analytical technique that can be applied to both large and small molecules and is a potent analytical tool that advances both basic science and practical applications in and out of the lab. MS h…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder affecting reproductive-aged women and is associated with an increased risk of early pregnancy loss (EPL). The underlying mechanisms remain multifactorial and poorly understood.…

The age-related decline in oocyte quality constitutes a major cause of reduced female fertility. In this study, we investigated the potential of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) to counteract oocyte deterioration during reproductive ag…

BACKGROUND: This study investigates how clinical factors and hormonal levels affect oocyte retrieval in modified natural cycles, aiming to improve understanding and enhance treatment protocols. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of data fro…

BACKGROUND: Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an ultra-rare (prevalence ~ 1:2 million), devastating genetic disorder characterized by progressive heterotopic ossification. Crucially, surgical trauma is a potent trigger for cata…

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder defined by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, driven by estrogen-dependent inflammation and progressive fibrosis. According to available data, remodeling and persisten…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the predictive value of endometrial and uterine artery blood flow parameters, combined with clinical indicators, for embryo implantation outcomes in PCOS patients undergoing IVF-ET across different BMI categories.Method…

Female reproductive disorders present significant challenges worldwide. Transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), a structurally diverse class of non-coding RNAs mainly comprising tRNA halves (tiRNAs) and tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs), have…

BackgroundInfertility poses a significant health challenge for reproductive-aged women globally and could be shaped by both genetic risks and lifestyle factors. Existing studies predominantly focus on individual lifestyle components, while …

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 …

BackgroundLung cancer is a prevalent form of cancer worldwide, presenting a substantial risk to human well-being. Lung cancer is classified into two main types: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The advan…

ObjectivePreterm birth is a major global health issue, with higher rates observed in pregnancies following assisted reproductive technology (ART). This study aimed to develop and validate via the validation set a prediction model for preter…

BackgroundOvarian maldescent is a rare congenital anomaly in which one or both ovaries are positioned abnormally above the pelvic brim. However, the potential relationship between ovarian maldescent and infertility remains poorly understood…

Abstract Objective To investigate the dose-response relationship between dietary folate intake and endometriosis risk among U.S. women of reproductive age. Methods This cross-sectional study analyzed 4,024 women (aged 20–54 years) from the…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a common hormone-dependent and chronic inflammatory disease affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Laparoscopic surgery is a primary tre…

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) mainly depends on liver fibrosis/cirrhosis, which is regulated by tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME), and is a crucial factor in tumor progression. This study aimed to identify abnormally express…

BackgroundThe administration of exogenous gonadotropins (Gn) to elicit multi-follicular development for controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) represents a pivotal component of assisted reproductive technology (ART). Presently, the exogenous …

ObjectiveLower genital tract microbiome dysbiosis has been associated with several gynecological diseases. However, the differences in microbiome composition among patients with several gynecological diseases, such as endometrial polyps and…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between preoperative pathologic characteristics and the risk of postoperative recurrence in endometriosis (EMs) patients, and to develop a clinical predictive model. METHODS: A retrospective analys…

Vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) is a chronic skin condition affecting the vulva, causing significant discomfort, but its etiology in prepubertal girls remains poorly understood. VLS presents with itching, irritation, and pain. Recent studies …
