BACKGROUND: The clinical association between female reproductive disorders, such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS), uterine leiomyoma, and female infertility and psychiatric disorders, such as major depressive disorder(MDD),…

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a challenging inflammatory disease with higher relapse and lower remission rates, urgently requiring effective and safe complementary treatment options. Apigenin (Api), a natural flavonoid from parsley and celery,…

BACKGROUND: The impact of changes in estradiol (E2) levels prior to human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) administration during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) on pregnancy and live birth outcomes remains poorly understood. OBJECTIV…

Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by pain and infertility, remains a clinical challenge. Current hormonal and surgical treatments are often limited by side effects and high recurrence rates. In search of more eff…

Lysine lactylation (Kla) is a novel form of post-translational modification. It utilizes lactate as its core substrate. Through an enzymatic regulatory network, it mediates modifications of both histones and non-histone proteins. This modif…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of a 3-stage treatment strategy featured by cold-knife adenomyomectomy, enhanced endometrial protection and postoperative uterine monitoring for severe diffuse adenomyosis on IVF/ICSI and perinatal o…

BACKGROUND: Uterine cystic adenomyosis is a rare form of focal adenomyosis that is primarily located within the myometrium. In this case report, we present a unique case of adult uterine cystic adenomyosis found outside the uterus following…

OBJECTIVE: To identify the determinants influencing clinical pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent FET at the Department of Reproductive …

OBJECTIVE: Whether large language models (LLMs) can effectively facilitate CM knowledge acquisition remains uncertain. This study aims to assess the adherence of LLMs to Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) in CM. METHODS: This cross-sectio…

BACKGROUND: The main objective of this study was to summarize and analyze the pregnancy outcomes in the assisted reproductive technology (ART) population with subchorionic hematoma (SCH) in the first trimester. Moreover, we aimed to explore…

This case report describes a 43-year-old woman who presented with a symptomatic left Bartholin's gland cyst accompanied by a markedly elevated serum CA19-9 levels (>1,000 U/ml). Despite initial concerns for malignancy, comprehensive evaluat…

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) facilitate intercellular communication and the conveyance of bioactive substances, including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. They play a significant role in various reproductive biological processes, includ…

BACKGROUND: Urinary incontinence (UI) is commonly linked to pregnancy and obstetric factors, but the association between fetal birthweight and maternal UI remains contentious. This study investigates the association between fetal birthweigh…

BACKGROUND: Omental cysts are extremely rare intra-abdominal lesions that are typically benign and asymptomatic. When hemorrhagic necrosis occurs, it may mimic other acute abdominal emergencies, such as adnexal torsion. Omental cysts are ea…

OBJECTIVES: To 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 …

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…

BACKGROUND: The immune system is of paramount importance in maintaining human health and defending against pathogens. Among them, the adaptive immune system is a crucial component of the immune system, as it is responsible for generating an…

Menstruation is a key indicator of female reproductive health, yet clinical features and underlying mechanisms associated with menstrual changes following the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection remain unclear. Here, we recruited …

In β‑thalassemia, excessive α‑globin chain impedes the normal development of red blood cells resulting in anemia. Numerous miRNAs, including miR‑6747‑3p, are aberrantly expressed in β‑thalassemia major (β‑TM), but there are no reports on th…

Virulence factor genes (VFGs) play pivotal roles in bacterial infections and have been identified within the human gut microbiota. However, their involvement in chronic diseases remains poorly understood. Here, we establish an expanded VFG …

BACKGROUND: With the increasing incidence of obesity and the childbearing-age delay among women, a debate over obesity's impacts on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes becomes hot. The potential negative effects of obesity and aging on fertilit…

BACKGROUND: Recent years, the use of optical molecular imaging (OMI) techniques guided nerve imaging has made significant progress. However, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis in this field is currently lacking. In this study, we aim to …
