Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants with potential reproductive toxicity, yet their profiles in follicular fluid and impacts on human fertility remain unclear. Given the importance of diet as…

Extensive preclinical and clinical studies have shown that exposure to green light-emitting diodes (gLED) exerts analgesic effect. We hypothesized that exposure to gLED alleviates endometriosis-associated pain. To test this, we induced deep…

BACKGROUND: Extrauterine adenomyomas (EAs) are rare benign lesions that arise outside the uterus and only rarely involve the lung. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a 34-year-old woman with a history of multiple gynecological surgeries who wa…

BackgroundOvarian cancer remains the most lethal gynecological cancer, with fewer than 50% of patients surviving more than 5 years after diagnosis. This study aimed to analyze the global epidemiological trends of ovarian cancer from 1990 to…

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…

STUDY QUESTION: Does PIEZO1 play any role in adenomyosis-associated dysmenorrhea? SUMMARY ANSWER: PIEZO1 downregulation in the myometrium reduces the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and nitric oxide (NO) production, …

BackgroundCervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) exhibits profound spatial heterogeneity in evolutionary trajectories across distinct tumour foci, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.MethodsIn this study, we performed an…

BackgroundTo investigate whether cured tuberculosis affect assisted reproductive outcomes in infertile women.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted to compare assisted reproductive outcomes between cured tuberculosis and non-tube…

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 …

BACKGROUND: Chronic pain resulting from postoperative adhesions represents a significant clinical concern due to its substantial impact on patient quality of life; however, optimal therapeutic management remains contentious. This systematic…

ObjectiveTo compare the therapeutic effects of laparoscopic recanalization and laparotomy recanalization on tubal patency restoration after tubal sterilization.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 122 patien…

Endometriosis, a chronic gynecological disorder, is increasingly linked to metabolic dysregulation. The lipid accumulation product (LAP) - a biomarker integrating waist circumference and triglycerides - may provide additional information on…

Ovarian cancer (OC) ranks among the most prevalent malignant tumors in women, contributing significantly to mortality rates. This disease exhibits considerable heterogeneity, characterized by intricate molecular and genetic alterations. Fer…

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a prevalent condition that significantly impairs women's quality of life and is closely linked to dysregulated estrogen signaling. This review examines the mechanisms through which estrogen, acting via nuclear…

High-throughput omics technologies have transformed our understanding of female reproductive biology, revealing molecular interactions governing oocyte maturation, ovarian reserve, endometrial receptivity, and embryo development, yet most f…

Gallbladder carcinoma, among the most prevalent malignancies of the biliary system, often presents with insidious early symptoms. Delayed diagnosis of incidental gallbladder carcinoma frequently leads to therapeutic delays, significantly co…

Background and objectivePoly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) have fundamentally changed the treatment paradigm for patients with ovarian cancer, especially in tumors with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). However, acquir…

Plastics are ubiquitous in the environment and are widely used in food packaging, medicine, agriculture, construction and other sectors. However, the plasticizers they contain pose a substantial threat to environmental safety and human heal…

BackgroundMixed gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is an exceptionally rare form of GTN, characterized by the coexistence of choriocarcinoma (CC) and/or placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) and/or epithelioid trophoblastic tumor…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder influenced by dysregulated steroidogenesis, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Bisphenol A (BPA), a common endocrine disruptor, has been associated with reproductive dysfunction, but its deve…

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Its pathogenesis is closely linked to an imbalanced immune–inflammatory–angiogenic microenviron…

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a highly prevalent chronic degenerative joint disorder characterized by progressive articular cartilage degeneration, chondrocyte death, and extracellular matrix degradation. Accumulating evidence indicates that…

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…
