Background/Objectives: Primary dysmenorrhea is a common gynecological disorder characterized by painful uterine contractions. Danggui Buxue Decoction (DBD) is used to treat menstrual irregularities, but its mechanism in primary dysmenorrhea…

Biomarkers play a pivotal role in contemporary medical research, particularly in the early diagnosis of diseases and personalized treatment. Although previous studies have systematically reviewed markers across various disease domains, an i…

OBJECTIVE: Obesity impairs endometrial receptivity; however, the mechanism remains unclear. Obesity is associated with elevated leptin levels, and leptin receptor (Ob-Rb) has been demonstrated to be expressed in the human endometrium, but t…

Follicular development is a complex and dynamic biological process involving coordinated interactions among endocrine regulation, cellular metabolism, redox homeostasis, mitochondrial function, and immune signaling. Increasing evidence indi…

3-Nitropropionic acid (3-NPA) is an irreversible inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH; mitochondrial complex II) that is widely used to model mitochondrial metabolic stress. Direct reproductive studies now show that 3-NPA can increase …

Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a severe condition frequently linked to infertility, yet the optimal integration of surgery and assisted reproductive technology (ART) remains controversial. This study reports two cases of infertili…

Endometriosis (EMS) is a complex gynecological disorder whose pathogenesis remains poorly understood, with lipid metabolism, immune regulation, and inflammation likely playing pivotal roles. This Mendelian randomization study investigates c…

Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation, is closely associated with mitochondrial damage, diminished glutathione peroxidase 4 activity, dysfunction of the System Xc- cystine/glutamate antipor…

BACKGROUND: To investigate the optimal periendometrial zone (PEZ) in ultrasound (US) images and assess the performance of ultrasound radiomics in predicting the outcome of frozen embryo transfer (FET). METHODS: This prospective study had 4…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the risk factors of residual/recurrent lesions of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2/3 (CIN2/3) in patients who underwent cold-knife conization (CKC). METHODS: A total of 976 patients with CIN2/3 wh…

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a newly discovered subset of immune cells that are responsible for regulation of the immune microenvironment. In particular, the ILC categories ILC2s and regulatory ILCs (ILCregs) are associated with immunos…

BACKGROUND: Extragonadal follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) receptor (FSHR) expression in various cancers and their endothelial vessel cells has highlighted novel opportunities for targeted FSHR therapy. METHODS: We investigated the specifi…

Adenomyosis is characterized by the infiltration of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium which affects about 35% women at reproductive age. Women affected by adenomyosis always experience issues such as defective decidualizatio…

The effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection persist months and years after recovery. We conducted an online survey to assess the health condition of convalescents approximately 5 months following th…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of coils plus glue (CPG) in slope embankment technology vs coils plus sclerosant (CPS) in treating reflux-type pelvic venous disorders. METHODS: The analysis included pat…

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a kind of lymphocytes that reside in the tissue and have an essential function in the immune microenvironment. However, the relationship between endometriosis (EMS) and ILCs is complex and not fully understo…

BACKGROUND: Preterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal death, and there are no effective clinical means for the prevention and treatment of spontaneous preterm birth, mainly because the mechanism for labor initiation has not been fully …

AIMS: To determine the clinical predictors of live birth in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (F-ET), and to determine whether these parameters can be used to develop a clinical nomogram mo…

Growing evidence suggested that immune dysregulation is one of the crucial drivers to the development of endometriosis (EMS). Myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) represent a heterogeneous subset of immature myeloid cells, and have been…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Immunological disorders have been reported to promote the progression of endometriosis. Several recent studies have shown that myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) drive the progression of endometriosis. The aim of thi…

BACKGROUND: Immune dysregulation is one of the mechanisms to promote endometriosis (EMS). Various T cell subpopulations have been reported to play different roles in the development of EMS. The mucosa-associated invariant T cell (MAIT) is a…

Immunologic disorder has been reported to promote the progression of endometriosis (EMT). It has been known that myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) drive the progression of many types of diseases. Few studies have shown the relation b…

BACKGROUND: The junctional zone (JZ), also called as the endometrial-myometrial junction, is related to peristaltic-like movements in the non-pregnant uterus. Hyperperistalsis and dysperistalsis of uterus constructions might underlie many i…
