The aim of this study was to detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the peripheral blood of patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) using a CTCs sorting technique and to assess the association between CTC counts and patient prognosis. Epit…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder characterized by chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and altered hormone metabolism. Although gut microbiota-derived metabolites have been implicated in shaping immune microenvironment…

Ovarian senescence is accompanied by inflammatory responses, yet the underlying mechanism remains incompletely elucidated. In this study, transcriptome sequencing was performed on ovarian granulosa cells from advanced-age patients and norma…

BACKGROUND: Hydrosalpinx affects 10-30% of infertile women, creating a hostile tubal microenvironment that impairs embryonic development. Although fluid embryotoxicity is recognised, specific toxic metabolites and their molecular mechanisms…

Obesity triggers ovarian dysfunction and female infertility accompanied by granulosa cell damage. Ferroptosis, iron-dependent lipid peroxidation-mediated cell death, participates in multiple reproductive diseases, yet the molecular cascade …

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the perioperative outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) and dual-port laparoscopic myomectomy in patients with solitary uterine fibroids. METHODS: This retrospective observational st…

Perioperative infections remain a major concern in gynecological surgery, often leading to prolonged hospitalization, increased costs, and adverse outcomes. Comprehensive nursing care has been proposed as a holistic approach to reduce compl…

Fibrosis, marked by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation, underlies functional decline in numerous diseases and often presents with sex-specific differences in severity. Although biochemical pathways have been widely studied, t…

BACKGROUND: To compare the clinical outcomes between frozen-thawed cleavage embryo transfer and frozen-thawed day 6 blastocyst transfer in patients younger than 35 using the freeze-all strategy without day 5 blastocyst formation. METHODS: …

R eview question / Objective The review aims to identify risk factors associated with recurrence of endometriosis and pregnancy gain after surgery.P: Ovarian endometriosis patients after surgery I: No artificial intervention C:Patients with…

The skeletal muscle is highly susceptible to injury in daily life. Severe skeletal muscle injuries often result in incomplete regeneration, leading to functional impairment. In clinical practice, understanding the extent of skeletal muscle …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Oligomenorrhea and hypomenorrhea were common conditions in outpatient visit which affected child-bearing aged women, and the conventional progesterone treatment has been related to several side effect and contradi…

OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the role of the c-Fos/estrogen receptors (ERs)/mTOR pathway in lipid metabolism in human follicular granulosa cells of individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Specifically, we aim to determine w…

BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the effectiveness of quinagolide vaginal ring on reducing total lesion size in endometrioma, deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), and adenomyosis, as assessed using high-resolution MRI and imaging biomarke…

BACKGROUND: Glycolysis, a classic characteristic of cancer cells, can drive cancer progression by generating lactate, which play as a key immunosuppressive mediator. Currently, ubiquitin-specific proteases 5 (USP5) has been demonstrated to …

RATIONALE: Spontaneous uterine rupture, although rare, is a life-threatening obstetric emergency with a high maternal and fetal mortality rate. It can occur without warning, leading to severe complications, including hemorrhage, shock, and …

BACKGROUND: An increasing body of observational studies have indicated an association between gut microbiota and endometriosis. However, the causal relationship between them is not yet clear. In this study, we employed Mendelian randomizati…

BACKGROUND: Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is an achievement in the field of minimally invasive surgery. However, the vantage point of vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) in gynecologica…

Melatonin, as an endocrine neurotransmitter, can promote the development of the ovary. Meanwhile, it also has protective effect on the ovary as an antioxidant. Thyroid hormone (TH) is essential for normal human reproductive function. Many s…

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 …

P2X receptors, a subfamily of ligand-gated ion channels activated by extracellular ATP, are implicated in various physiopathological processes, including inflammation, pain perception, and immune and respiratory regulations. Structural dete…

To evaluate whether RNA-seq-based endometrial receptivity testing (rsERT) can improve pregnancy outcomes in personalized frozen-thawed embryo transfer (pFET) during hormone replacement therapy (HRT) cycles among patients with recurrent impl…

PURPOSE: To prospectively study the influence of the volume of the uterine junctional zone (JZ) as a novel predictor of reproductive outcomes in frozen embryo transfer cycles. METHODS: Among the first 30 patients, intra- and interobserver r…

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the vaginal microecology and the distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) subtypes in patients with uterine adhesions and explore the correlation between HPV infection and vaginal micr…
