The uterine cavity was formerly considered sterile; however, over recent years, researchers have identified the presence of endometrial microbiota. An imbalance in the endometrial microbiota, or dysbiosis, has been shown to be associated wi…
BACKGROUND: Trends toward earlier age at menarche, the starting point in women’s reproductive lifespan, have been observed globally. Whether an earlier age at menarche influences Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), a clinical indicator of ovarian…
PURPOSE: To investigate the association between dendritic cell maturation deficits and pain in patients with adenomyosis and explore potential neuro-immune mechanisms. METHODS: Uterine tissues from 24 patients with adenomyosis (AM) and 15 …
OBJECTIVE: Uterine angioleiomyoma (ALM) is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor. Its clinical management poses challenges due to difficulties in preoperative diagnosis, an increased risk of intraoperative bleeding due to its highly vascular natu…
OBJECTIVE: To identify core acupoint prescription patterns for primary dysmenorrhea (PD) using data mining and to generate hypothesis-level mechanistic insight through network-based analysis. METHODS: Nine Chinese and English databases wer…
BACKGROUND: Single-port robotic cholecystectomy offers minimally invasive benefits. This trial evaluated the feasibility and safety of a novel system, MicroPort SA-1000. METHODS: In this dual centre, single-arm, prospective study, eligible…
BACKGROUND: Nerve growth factor (NGF), which acts on receptors tropomyosin receptor kinase A and p75 neurotrophic receptor, is a member of neurotrophin family and a kind of secretory polypeptides. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search…
IntroductionEndometriosis (EMs) is considered the precursor lesions of ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC). This study aimed to identify differentially expressed proteins between OEC and EMs, and to explore the associated biological functi…
BACKGROUND: Environmental exposure to trace and heavy metals may influence female fertility, yet their impact on assisted reproductive outcomes remains poorly defined. Maternal diet can potentially modulate metal-related toxicity by influen…
BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is widely acknowledged as the prevailing reproductive endocrine disorder accompanied by numerous metabolic dysfunctions. However, there has been a lack of systematic examination regarding the ami…
BACKGROUND: The cardiometabolic index (CMI), a novel measure of obesity that integrates lipid profiles and indicators of abdominal adiposity, has emerged as a promising marker of metabolic health. However, its relationship with infertility …
OBJECTIVE: Lower genital tract microbiome dysbiosis has been associated with several gynecological diseases. However, the differences in microbiome composition among patients with several gynecological diseases, such as endometrial polyps a…
Antibodies have been widely used globally over the past decade and play an increasingly important role in modern medicine. Notably, significant advancements have been achieved in the realm of gynecology, particularly in gynecological cancer…
BACKGROUND: Natural cycle in vitro fertilization (NC-IVF) represents a convenient and safe assisted reproductive technology, making it particularly advantageous for patients with poor ovarian response (POR). This research evaluates the effe…
OBJECTIVE: The endometrial microbiota exerts a crucial role in maintaining the health of the female reproductive system. As such, in this study, we have examined the composition of the microbiota in endometrium tissues with and without endo…
BACKGROUND: As the first discovered member of the neurotrophin family, nerve growth factor (NGF) plays fundamental roles in peripheral sensory and sympathetic neuronal development and survival. Recent evidence reveals its tumour-promoting e…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) mainly includes endometrioid ovarian cancer (ENOC) and clear cell ovarian cancer (CCOC). The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) revealed four molecular subtypes of endometrial cancer (EC) i…
Background: Concerns have been raised about the increasing prevalence of both spontaneous and induced abortions worldwide, yet their effect on premature mortality remains poorly understood. We aimed to examine the associations between abort…
BACKGROUND: The timely identification and management of ovarian cancer are critical determinants of patient prognosis. In this study, we developed and validated a deep learning radiomics nomogram (DLR_Nomogram) based on ultrasound (US) imag…
BACKGROUND: This study examined the improvement of dysmenorrhoea and menorrhagia after uterine artery embolisation (UAE) in women with symptomatic adenomyosis and identified factors that could predict the improvement of dysmenorrhoea and me…
Abstract Objective Endometriosis lacks effective early intervention and treatment. Our objective is to explore potential protein drug targets in serum for endometriosis and different subtypes of endometriosis, using Mendelian randomization …
Menopausal syndrome, occurring during the menopausal stage in women, manifests as symptoms stemming from decreased estrogen levels, such as hot flashes, insomnia, mental disorders (anxiety, depression), and osteoporosis. The bulk of studies…
STUDY QUESTION: What are the odds of achieving pregnancy when adopting progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS)-related protocols combined with repetitive frozen-thawed transfer (FET) cycles in patients with different clinical characteri…
PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to examine the efficacy and safety of the levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) versus dienogest (DNG) in female subjects with symptomatic uterine adenomyosis. METHODS: This study enrolled 117 wom…
BACKGROUND: According to the latest practice committee document, in vitro maturation (IVM) is a simple and safe procedure, especially in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Does switching from in vitro fertilization (IVF) to IVM…
