Endometriosis (EM) is a non-cancerous disease that exhibits certain tumor-like properties. While hormonal therapies and surgical excision are standard treatments with proven efficacy in alleviating EM symptoms, they are often accompanied by…
Autoimmune pancreatitis is a fibroinflammatory subtype of chronic pancreatitis resulting from aberrant immune responses. Currently, there are two forms of autoimmune pancreatitis: type 1 (T1-AIP) or lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing pancreatitis…
ObjectivesTo evaluate the impact of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) intrauterine perfusion on endometrial receptivity and pregnancy outcomes in patients with implantation failure.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study included patient…
ObjectiveTo explore the influencing factors of polyspermy in long-term fertilization during in vitro fertilization (IVF) with antagonist protocol.MethodsThis was a retrospective case-control study. Patients with secondary infertility underg…
Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare subtype of benign smooth muscle tumor that can exhibit malignant-like biological behavior. Originating in the uterus, IVL grows in mass-like formations within small veins and can extend into the in…
BACKGROUND: The aetiology and pathogenesis of adenomyosis remain unclear. This study utilised untargeted metabolomics to explore the aberrant amino acid metabolism in adenomyosis. Among the studied metabolites, hydroxyproline is known to pr…
Iron is an essential micronutrient element for human. It participates in energy metabolism, enzyme activation, immune system and other metabolic functions. In this review, the potential role of iron in female reproductive health were consid…
BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis (AP) can be mild and self-limited, but it can also become severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and lead to multi-organ dysfunction. It is still difficult to identify patients who may develop severe disease at an ea…
Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease characterized by the invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium of uterus, the pathological mechanism of which remains unclear yet. Disturbed lipid metabolism extensively affe…
BackgroundHuman Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a ubiquitous sexually transmitted infection globally, frequently associated with sexual behaviors characterized by increased frequency and multiple partnerships. The relationship between var…
BackgroundMenstrual cycle characteristics are potential indicators of hormonal exposures and may also signal cardiovascular disease risk factors, both of which are relevant to cognitive health. However, there is scarce epidemiological evide…
Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is a common malignancy of the female reproductive system, often diagnosed at advanced stages due to the lack of reliable early biomarkers. Gene methylation has emerged as a key epigenetic mechanism in cancer devel…
BackgroundEndometrial cancer (EC), a type of uterine cancer, is witnessing a global increase in incidence. Despite advancement in diagnosis and treatment, metastatic or recurrent EC often exhibits a poor prognosis, necessitating novel thera…
Chronic pain imposes incalculable health and economic burdens, affecting more than 30% of the global population in published studies. Optimal management of chronic pain is imperative for individuals experiencing such distress. Nevertheless,…
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) often have decreased fertility. Gene translation is crucial to oocyte meiosis and development. However, it remains unclear how SLE affects this process. Here, we used single-cell transcriptom…
BACKGROUND: Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is vital for embryo implantation and decidualization. Whether COX2/mPGES1/PGE2 pathway is essential for mouse and human decidualization remains unclear. RESULTS: This study showed that mPGES1 was highly e…
PURPOSE: To investigate and compare the clinical characteristics and risk factors between intrinsic and extrinsic adenomyosis (AM), as well as the differences in their perioperative management and findings in the two subtypes. METHODS: Thi…
BackgroundPreimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) has been widely utilized to select euploid embryos in patients carrying balanced chromosomal rearrangements (BCRs) by chromosome copy number analys…
ObjectivesTo estimate the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) and its subtypes among nulliparous Chinese women with associated risk factors. The prevalence of UI among those living in urban or rural communities was also analysed with po…
IntroductionMinimally invasive techniques have been widely adopted for hysterectomy, including Transumbilical Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Surgery (TU-LESS) and Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES). However,…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis can lead to decreased endometrial receptivity, reduced rates of implantation, and diminished ovarian reserve. Currently, more than 50% of infertile women are found to suffer from endometriosis. However the etiology…
Organoids are three-dimensional tissue analogues grown in vitro. Although they are not human organs in the strict sense, they can mimic the structure and function of tissues in vivo to the maximum extent, and have broad application prospect…
Retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy is an extremely rare form of ectopic pregnancy that can be life-threatening due to severe intra-abdominal hemorrhage. Retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy is frequently misdiagnosed because of its atypical loc…
BackgroundThe 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 singl…
In recent years, the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in disease has attracted considerable interest, underscoring their potential utility as diagnostic biomarkers. miR‑100, belonging to the miR‑99 family, is integral to the pathophysiological pr…
