BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the role of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol as a key parameter in improving pregnancy outcomes after assisted reproductive technology treatments in women with diabetes mellitus. OBJECTIVE: To…
(1) Background/Objective: Routine blood tests may provide useful information at different stages of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) management. This study evaluated continuous lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), a…
Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disorder that causes heavy menstrual bleeding and chronic pelvic pain. Progestin-based therapy is widely used for long-term management, but irregular uterine bleeding frequently occurs and severely affe…
Vasohibin-1 (VASH-1) is an endothelial protein that serves as a negative feedback regulator of angiogenesis. Through its microtubule carboxypeptidase activity, VASH-1 plays a key role in vascular homeostasis. While previous studies have inv…
BACKGROUND: Endometrial intrauterine adhesions (IUA) arise due to comprised regenerative capacity of endometrium and aberrant fibrotic processes. These adhesions significantly affect fertility by impeding embryo implantation, sustaining pre…
Blood-based liquid biopsies hold transformative potential for non-invasive cancer management, but current approaches relying on rare circulating tumor components limit their broad clinical utility. Platelets, abundant in blood and mediating…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is often classified as a benign disease; however, it exhibits malignant biological characteristics. Collapsin Response Mediator Protein 4 (CRMP4) has been implicated in the regulation of cell migration and in…
Ovarian endometriosis (OEM) is characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue growth within the ovary. In these ectopic lesions, the ectopic epithelium plays a crucial role in OEM progression and has been associated with malignant transformati…
PURPOSE: To compare the effects of the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist protocol, GnRH antagonist protocol, progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol, and mild stimulation/natural cycle protocol on the cumulative li…
BACKGROUND: Prior research indicates a potential link between dyslipidemia and endometriosis (EMs). However, the relationship between remnant cholesterol (RC) and EMs has not been thoroughly investigated. Consequently, looking into and clar…
The lack of accurate understanding of cellular physiology and pathophysiology during the WOI constitutes the major obstacle to correct diagnosis and treatment for patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). The role of cilia as one …
BACKGROUND: Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA) syndrome is a rare congenital genital tract anomaly that severely impacts quality of life and fertility in female adolescents. Most of the publications on OHVIRA have …
BACKGROUND: This study aims to evaluate the impact of adjuvant chemotherapy on cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with Stage IA ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) using data from the Surveillance, Epidemio…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Primary dysmenorrhea carries substantial medical, social, and economic burdens, leading many patients to seek low-risk complementary and alternative therapies, such as acupuncture. Myofascial trigger point dry need…
Endometrial stromal cell (ESC) plasticity is critical to embryo survival and conceptus elongation; however, their genetic regulation remains unclear. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which ESR1 regulates sheep fecundity through endo…
Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) poses significant challenges in reproductive health, with emerging evidence implicating DNA damage repair pathways. While GADD45A is a critical regulator of DNA repair, cell cycle and apoptosis, its role in …
The skeletal muscle is highly susceptible to injury in daily life. Severe skeletal muscle injuries often result in incomplete regeneration, leading to functional impairment. In clinical practice, understanding the extent of skeletal muscle …
Mercury, a prevalent heavy metal, negatively impacts oocyte maturation. However, the exact mechanism by which methylmercury chloride (MMC) affects this process remains elusive. The present study found that MMC administration triggered meiot…
INTRODUCTION: Ovarian adenomyoma is a rare gynecological tumor with a high misdiagnosis rate, leading many patients to undergo unnecessary surgeries that may affect fertility. Menstrual abdominal pain is the most common symptom, and auxilia…
BACKGROUND: Cholangiocarcinoma is a common hepatic malignant tumor with an unfavorable prognosis. Therefore, we systematically evaluated the transcriptomic landscape of CHOL by whole transcriptome sequencing technology in this study and con…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis and its associated gynecological diseases such as female infertility and primary ovarian failure (POF), impose a long-term disease burden on women. This study aims to explore the causal relationships between these …
RATIONALE: An accessory ovary complicated by cystic teratoma and torsion is extremely rare and requires prompt diagnosis and surgical treatment. However, evidence for effective preoperative imaging diagnosis has barely been reported. Our st…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of hysteroscopic suture fixation of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) for the treatment of adenomyosis. DESIGN: A retrospective case series. SETTING: …
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: While there is evidence that gut microbiota (GM) and blood metabolites are associated with ovarian cancer (OC), the precise mechanisms underlying this relationship are still unclear. This study used Mendelian randomi…
