This cross-sectional study investigated galectin-1, -3, and -9 in adenomyosis. Analysis of hysterectomy tissues from premenopausal women via western blot, qPCR, immunohistochemistry, and Masson's staining revealed significantly elevated gal…
Endometriosis (EMs) is a gynecological disorder affecting women of reproductive age. It is characterized by the ectopic implantation and infiltration of endometrial-like tissue and is associated with significant effects on fertility, pelvic…
Primary infertility affects 15% of couples worldwide, yet many genetic causes remain unknown. Through whole-exome sequencing of a woman with primary infertility and repeated embryo implantation failure, we identified a novel homozygous fram…
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the mechanism of Angelica sinensis polysac-charide (ASP) ameliorating endometriosis (EMT) via the Kelch-like epichlorohydrin-associated protein 1 (Keap1)/nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxy…
BACKGROUND: Personal care products (PCPs) may contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that can impact menstrual health. Despite widespread usage, little is known about the associations of PCP usage, EDC avoidance, and menstrual cycle …
IntroductionSerous surface papillary borderline ovarian tumors (SSPBOTs), a clinically distinct variant of serous borderline ovarian tumors (SBOTs), are frequently misdiagnosed as malignant tumors during preoperative diagnostic assessments.…
The continuous advancement in the management of gynecological cancers has contributed to improved patient survival. Nevertheless, cardiovascular toxicity resulting from anti-tumor treatments has emerged as a significant threat to long-term …
The potential bidirectional causal relationship between endometriosis and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D has been previously investigated. Nevertheless, the results could be impacted by confounding factors and reverse causality because of the na…
Ovarian cancer remains a significant global health burden, with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) representing the most lethal subtype. Bulk RNA-seq analysis revealed KLK5 (Kallikrein-5, a serine protease) upregulation in ovarian can…
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a prediction model for uterine fibroid risk based on clinical characteristics and blood biochemical indicators, and to explore its risk factors and clinical application value. METHODS: This retrospective c…
Endometriosis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory gynecological disorder affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women worldwide, characterized by endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Ectopic lesion growth tracks clos…

Background: Ovarian endometriomas damage the ovarian structure, alter ovarian inflammation, and impair ovarian reserve. Given the conflicting results, determining an optimal reproductive strategy for women with endometriomas-whether expecta…
STUDY QUESTION: What is the optimal timing of progesterone exposure to achieve live births for day-6 blastocysts in artificial frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles? SUMMARY ANSWER: Live birth rates (LBRs) were comparable between day-…
Interleukin-37 (IL-37) is an anti-inflammatory cytokine with an undefined role in chronic endometritis (CE). This study aims to explore its therapeutic mechanism in CE, focusing on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and macrophage pola…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Is surgery effective in decreasing iron deposition in the ovarian tissue surrounding an ovarian endometrioma? DESIGN: This cohort study was conducted in China between July 2023 and April 2024. Seventy-nine patients with …
Adenomyosis (AM), an estrogen‑dependent chronic inflammatory disease with a rising incidence, has emerged as a major cause of infertility and reduced clinical pregnancy rates in reproductive‑aged women, severely impairing reproductive healt…
Infertility represents a significant global health burden, necessitating advanced therapeutic interventions. While Assisted Reproductive Technologies have revolutionized fertility treatment, they remain constrained by limited efficacy, off-…
BACKGROUND: This study investigates the clinical characteristics, treatment strategies, and prognosis of ovarian leiomyoma, with the goal of enhancing diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic outcomes for this rare condition. METHODS: We retrosp…
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a neuropeptide, has been implicated in autoimmune diseases, endometriosis, tumors, and primary headaches, including migraine. The development of a novel, fast-acting CGRP receptor antagonist administe…
BackgroundTraditional physiology teaching relies on 2D materials and static specimens, making it difficult to intuitively present complex anatomical structures and physiological mechanisms. 3D Intelligent Printing Technology (3DIPT) has dem…
ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intratumoral ethanol injection followed by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for hyperintense uterine fibroids on T2-weighted magnetic resonance images …
PurposeInfants born after assisted reproductive technology (ART) have more adverse health outcomes than spontaneously conceived infants. Evidence on the impact of ART on the offspring's visual system, particularly refractive errors (REs), r…
