BACKGROUND: Chronic endometritis (CE) has been associated with implantation failure and recurrent reproductive failure. Antibiotic therapy is widely used as a first-line treatment for CE, and previous studies have suggested that successful …

OBJECTIVES: Accessory cavitated uterine malformation (ACUM) is a congenital Müllerian duct developmental anomaly. Clinically, it is commonly observed in young women presenting with progressive lower abdominal pain. Due to the small size of …

BACKGROUND: First implantation failure (FIF) remains a significant challenge in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET), and a considerable proportion of affected women subsequently progress to …

OBJECTIVE: To identify the risk factors associated with postoperative recurrence of unusual (special-type) uterine smooth muscle neoplasia (USMN) and to construct and interpret a machine-learning model for recurrence risk. METHODS: We carr…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical efficacy of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) tail anchoring to the superficial myometrium under hysteroscopic direct vision. METHODS: From March 1, 2017, to March 1, 2022, 206 pa…

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) is critical for reproductive health and a key therapeutic target for endocrine disorders and hormone-responsive cancers. Using high-resolution cryoelectron microscopy, we determined the struct…

Peripheral nerve injury-induced muscle atrophy is characterized by chronic inflammation and dysregulated macrophage polarization. RUNX1, a transcription factor upregulated in denervated muscle, has been implicated in linking muscle degenera…

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) signaling through EP2 and EP4 receptors is crucial in regulating inflammation, pain, and cancer progression. While selective and dual antagonists for these receptors hold therapeutic potential, their binding mechanis…

BACKGROUND: Numerous previous studies have suggested dyslipidemia is possibly linked to endometriosis (EMs). The connection between endometriosis and NHHR remains largely unexplored. Thus, this investigation examined whether NHHR is correla…

OBJECTIVE: To present a new noninvasive technique for automatic diagnosis of adenomyosis, using a novel end-to-end unified network framework based on transformer networks. STUDY DESIGN: This is a prospective descriptive study conducted at …

Intercellular communication is an important mechanism for the development and maintenance of normal biological processes in all organs, including the female reproductive system. Extracellular vesicles, as important carriers of intercellular…

Endometriosis, affecting 6%-10% of women, often leads to pain and infertility and its underlying inflammatory mechanisms are poorly understood. We established endometriosis models in wild-type and IL16KO mice, revealing the driver function …

Reproductive system diseases have become a major health challenge facing humans, so extensive investigations are needed to understand their complex pathogenesis and summarize effective treatments. In the study of reproductive diseases, mice…

Elagolix sodium (ELS) is a marketed product using to release moderate to severe endometriosis-associated pain. It contains functional groups such as carboxyl group, secondary amino group, 2,4-dioxo pyrimidinyl and several benzyl or benzyl-l…

BACKGROUND: The P53 gene is critical to the onset and progression of cancers. Currently, relevant study findings indicate that the p53 gene may have a strong association with the risk of endometriosis, but these findings have not been unite…

Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder that is characterized by endometrial-like tissue being found at extrauterine sites. Aberrant expression and activation of estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) in ectopic endometriu…

Ferroptosis, which has been widely associated with many diseases, is an iron-dependent regulated cell death characterized by intracellular lipid peroxide accumulation. It exhibits morphological, biochemical, and genetic characteristics that…

Background: Treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists is a powerful strategy to suppress gonadotropin activity in women with sex hormone-dependent disorders. Herein, we provide the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and p…

The main toxic component of endotoxins released from the death or dissolution of Gram-negative bacteria is lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which exists widely in the natural environment, and a large amount of endotoxin can significantly inhibit t…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) with baseline ultrasound (B-US) in ureteral neoplasms. METHODS: Retrospective analysis, comprising clinical presentation, image appearances, and diagnos…

Because the incidence of endometrial cancer is notably increasing worldwide, it has become the leading gynecologic cancer in the United States. Standard treatment results in the loss of reproductive function in women of childbearing age. Fu…

OBJECTIVE: Angiogenesis plays an important role in the growth and metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Bevacizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that mainly acts on vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA). Kinase inse…

INTRODUCTION: Uterine fibroids are a common benign genital tumor disease in gynecological diseases. It is mainly a change in physical function caused by the growth of smooth muscle cells in the factor uterus. Modern medicine's treatment of …

OBJECTIVE: MicroRNAs play vital roles in the development of endometriosis. It is reported that miR-200b-3p is downregulated in endometriosis, although its mechanisms in this disease remain still unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study…

BACKGROUND: The effects of letrozole plus human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) on ovarian stimulation (OS) of intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles were examined. METHODS: In all, 1,005 IUI cycles were included in this study. Couples under…
