OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) compared with hysteroscopic niche resection (HNR) for women with niche-related postmenstrual spotting. DESIGN: Economic evaluation from a hea…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Does peritoneal iron overload drive fibrosis in endometriosis through Nrf2 pathway dysfunction and the resulting ferroptosis, and can electroacupuncture intervene in this process? DESIGN: An endometriosis mouse model was…

In brief: Iron overload-induced ferroptosis contributes to ovarian damage in endometriosis, yet effective interventions are lacking. This study shows that electroacupuncture preserves ovarian function by activating the nuclear factor erythr…

BACKGROUND: Hemoperitoneum, a well-documented manifestation of various gynecological conditions, is herein presented in the first documented case secondary to retained products of conception (RPOC) following a medical abortion. This conditi…

Endometriosis (EMs) is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, yet its precise pathogenesis remains incompletely elucidated. TICAM1, a key adaptor prote…

Abstract Background Endometriosis (EMs) often leads to ovarian dysfunction and infertility. Its mechanism is closely associated with oxidative stress and ferroptosis induced by pelvic iron overload. Electroacupuncture (EA) has potential i…

BACKGROUND: Trophoblast cells are a critical component of retained products of conception (RPOC). While mifepristone is widely used as a non-invasive treatment for RPOC, its precise molecular mechanisms in trophoblast regulation remain poor…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis (EM) is an estrogen-dependent benign gynecologic disease affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women with a high recurrence rate, but lacks reliable biomarkers. No previous studies have investigated the…

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common acute abdomen and the number one cause of acute digestive hospitalizations in the United States. Abdominal pain is the main clinical manifestation of abdominal symptoms, so reducing the abdominal symptoms…

Endometriosis is a gynecological disease related to menstruation that affects nearly 10% of reproductive-age women. However, so far, there are no reliable diagnostic biomarkers for endometriosis, causing a delay in diagnosis of 6.7 ± 6.2 ye…

INTRODUCTION: In recent years, due to various factors, the rate of infertility in China has increased and now affects over 10% of women of reproductive age. Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a common diagnostic procedure during fertility exami…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of postoperative adjuvant treatment (gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists [GnRHas] and oral contraceptives [OCs]) and expectant treatment in preventing recurrent dysmenorrhea following conservative lapa…

INTRODUCTION: Perioperative infections may be considered predictors of caesarean scar defect (CSD), and multidose antibiotics have a protective effect against CSD. However, the ability of adjunctive azithromycin combined with cephalosporin …

BACKGROUND: Ovarian teratoma-associated anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis (NMDAR-E) is a severe autoimmune neurological disorder, and the influence of teratoma-induced autoantibodies on the pathogenesis remains unclear. METHO…

Previous studies revealed the increasing risk of tubal pregnancy following failure of levonorgestrel (LNG)-induced emergency contraception, which was attributed to the reduced ciliary motility in response to LNG. However, understanding of t…

BACKGROUND: Pelvic endometriosis (EM) and adenomyosis (AM) have different effects on the fallopian tube. This study aimed to assess the transport capability of the fallopian tube in women with pelvic EM or AM. METHODS: Twenty women with ut…

OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors for ovarian pregnancy (OP) and compare clinical features between OP and tubal pregnancy (TP) patients. DESIGN: Case-control study. SETTING: University hospital. PARTICIPANTS: A case-control study was c…
