Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects reproductive and cardiometabolic health, yet its pathogenesis remains unclear. Emerging evidence links hemoglobin levels to metabolic disorders, suggesting a potential role in PCOS development. Here,…

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), also known as Honghua, blueflower, or prickly safflower, is a medicinal herb effective in promoting blood circulation, dredging meridians, eliminating blood stasis, and relieving pain. Safflower contains…

Objective To identify novel and noninvasive biomarkers for the diagnosis of adenomyosis and to provide potential therapeutic targets. Design We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from 110 women of reproductive age who underwent pe…

Endometriosis is a hormone dependent disease that often accompanies infertility. At present, the incidence rate of endometriosis is on the rise, but its pathogenesis and the mechanism leading to fertility reduction are still unclear. Here, …

OBJECTIVE: This study explores the metabolic profiles in the peripheral blood of infertile patients with adenomyosis (ADM) to identify key metabolites affecting pregnancy outcomes in these patients undergoing frozen embryo transfer (FET). O…

BACKGROUND: Many components in follicular fluid (FF), such as peptide hormones, cytokines, and steroids, undergo dynamic changes during folliculogenesis and have important roles in follicular development. Because systemic inflammation has a…

Endometrial fibrosis can lead to uterine infertility. Accurate staging of endometrial fibrosis is crucial for developing treatment plans and performing dynamic follow-ups. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of radiomics models bas…

BACKGROUND: The quality of in vitro matured (IVM) oocytes remains inferior to that of in vivo matured oocytes, likely due to DNA damage induced by the in vitro environment. Although rapamycin has been shown to improve the developmental comp…

Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) has changed gynecologic care over the past thirty years by introducing techniques like multiport laparoscopy, robotic-assisted laparoscopy, and single-site surgery. MIGS offers advantages like r…

BACKGROUND: The main characteristics of the robotic surgical system include high-definition three-dimensional imaging, flexible and stable instruments, and an ergonomic console design. Incorporating robotic systems with laparoendoscopic sin…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the relationship between serum uric acid-to-serum creatinine (UA:SCr) ratio and thyroid function within the normal range and in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) during early pregnancy in Chinese wom…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition, typically associated with pelvic pain and menorrhagia, affecting 10% of women of reproductive age. Inflammation is known to contribute to pregnancy complications, including preterm birth. R…

Endometriosis affects a substantial number of women of reproductive age, yet current diagnostic methods rely on invasive procedures. To address this limitation, we investigated THBS1 as a potential biomarker and regulator of disease progres…

The global prevalence of obesity continues to rise, posing a threat to health, especially among women, where obesity can lead to reproductive endocrine disorders. Adipose tissue interacts with endocrine hormones, including insulin, leptin, …

Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease, yet its complex etiology is not fully understood. Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) exposure disrupts human reproduction, but studies on mixed EDCs and endometriosis ris…

This study investigated the prognostic impact of lymph node dissection (LND) in patients with stage I ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC) and aimed to identify the optimal LND range for improved survival. By analyzing data from the Surveil…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the value of mtDNA copy number measurement in spent culture medium of blastocysts for predicting the chance of implantation following single blastocyst transfer (SBT). METHODS: Copy numbers of mtDNA and genomic DNA (gD…

PURPOSE: Hydrosalpinx reduces the pregnancy outcomes of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Tubal occlusion has been shown to improve IVF-ET success; however, the optimal timing of oocyte retrieval and the molecular changes…

Objective To explore the mechanism of ubiquitin specific peptidase 21 (USP21) increasing the stability of forkhead box protein M1 (FOXM1) and promoting M2 polarization of macrophages in endometriosis (EM). Methods Eutopic endometrial stroma…

INTRODUCTION: Raising the temperature of abdominal wall endometriosis lesions contributes to an effective ablation; however, providing sufficient protection to the surrounding tissues remains a challenge. In this study, we aimed to combine …

Oxidative stress (OS) refers to the production of a substantial amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to cellular and organ damage. This imbalance between oxidant and antioxidant activity contributes to various diseases, includin…

Endometriosis is a complicated, estrogen-dependent gynecological condition with a high morbidity rate. Pain, as the most common clinical symptom of endometriosis, severely affects women's physical and mental health and exacerbates socioecon…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common reproductive endocrine disorders in women of reproductive age and is characterized by a chronic state of excessive inflammation. Increased expression of WNT5A in a varie…

Endometrial cancer arising in adenomyosis (EC-AIA), i.e., malignant transformation of the endometrium within adenomyotic foci, is a very unusual condition. We report a postmenopausal woman who had an unexpected diagnosis of uterine serous c…

BACKGROUND: Vitamins, as essential trace organic compounds for the human body, are crucial substances in the maintenance of normal reproductive function. Nevertheless, the effects of vitamins on the activation of primordial follicles and th…
