BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a pathological condition characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. This study aimed to investigate the role of FOXQ1 in the pathogenesis of EMs, particularly thr…

BACKGROUND: Device expulsion is a common complication of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS), with a higher incidence among high-risk patients presenting with enlarged uterine cavities, cervical laxity or menorrhagia.…

BACKGROUND: The ovary is a vital and dynamic reproductive organ. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) plays a vital role in preserving female fertility. However, the cellular subtypes most susceptible to cryoinjury and the molecular mechan…

BACKGROUND: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) functions according to the concepts of "holism" and treatment based on syndrome differentiation, and it has achieved good clinical results in treating patients with dysmenorrhea, which is a com…

AIM: To summarize current evidence on the molecular mechanisms by which the cervicovaginal microbiota mediates post-injury endometrial repair and to discuss relevant microbiota-targeted intervention strategies. METHODS: A narrative review …

Endometriosis (EMs) is characterized by dysregulated persistence and enhanced invasiveness of ectopic endometrial cells. Current treatment strategies remain limited by high recurrence rates and considerable adverse effects. Although iron ov…

BACKGROUND: Dysmenorrhea is a cramping pain during menstrual period and the leading cause for recurrent short-term school absenteeism among adolescent girls. However, evidence on the factors associated with the occurrence of dysmenorrhea, s…

CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3) is a G protein-coupled chemokine receptor that plays a key role in regulating immune responses and is involved in various pathological processes, particularly in tumor development and inflammatory diseases, …

PURPOSE: Endometriosis (EM) and recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) exhibit clinical associations, yet their shared molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to identify shared molecular mechanisms and potential hub genes under…

Large benign uterine pathologies affect millions of women globally and impose substantial socioeconomic costs. Although hysterectomy remains the definitive treatment, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) methodologies, including vaginal procedu…

Neuropathic pain (NP) is caused by primary damage and dysfunction of nervous system, in which spinal cord injury (SCI) is a common cause of NP. Evidence shows that neuroinflammation and oxidative stress are related to the pathophysiology of…

Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common gynecologic malignancy that often exhibits molecular features such as extensive somatic copy number alterations, microsatellite instability and frequent TP53 mutations, which considerably affect the physi…

Spontaneous hemoperitoneum in pregnancy is extremely rare but may cause severe hemorrhage, resulting in a high rate of mortality. We report a case of a primigravid woman who complained of middle-upper abdominal pain. She was admitted to our…

OBJECTIVE: Sequential therapy in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) refers to a combination of internal and external treatment methods in a certain order based on syndrome differentiation and therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate t…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the expression levels of the oocyte-secreted factors growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF-9) and bone morphogenetic protein-15 (BMP-15) in cumulus cells (CCs) under different controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) protoc…

PROBLEM: Adenomyosis (AM) is associated with immune response and inflammation. However, the role of T cell subsets in AM development has not been thoroughly understood. METHOD OF STUDY: Patients with focal or diffuse AM were recruited. Ser…

中肾样腺癌是一种新近报道的罕见女性生殖系统肿瘤，因其组织学特点、免疫表型及分子改变均类似于起源于中肾管残件的宫颈中肾腺癌而得名，但是中肾样腺癌多发生于缺乏中肾管残件的子宫体和卵巢。因卵巢中肾样腺癌往往与子宫内膜异位症或苗勒管肿瘤相关而被认为其可能起源于苗勒管。中肾样腺癌多样性的组织结构与多种肿瘤形态存在交叉，极易误诊。现报道1例曾被误诊为尿路上皮癌的膀胱中肾样腺癌。本文将阐述其临床病理特征及鉴别诊断，并对中肾样腺癌起源加以探讨，以提高在临床诊疗过程中对该疾病的认识，避免漏诊误…

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, metabolic diseases, and skeletal diseases, pose significant challenges to public health worldwide. The complex pathogenesis of these diseases is closely linked to …

PURPOSE: Estradiol valerate (Progynova®) is used as hormone therapy to supplement estrogen deficiency. This study aimed to assess the bioequivalence of an estradiol valerate tablet and its generic form, under fasting and fed conditions. ME…

AIM: To evaluate the association between urinary polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) metabolites and the risk of endometriosis. METHODS: This cross-sectional study obtained data on women aged 20-54 years from the National Health and Nutr…

The immune system contributes to the pathophysiology of endometriosis. The role of ThGM cells, which produce granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), in the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unknown. To analyze the fea…

OBJECTIVE: To build a prediction model for live birth delivery per intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in iNOA patients by obtaining sperm by microdissection testicular sperm extraction (mTESE). METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of…

Indocyanine green is a near-infrared fluorescent dye which is widely used in various fields of surgery and gynecology. It is currently mainly used to detect various malignant tumors, sentinel lymph nodes, endometriosis lesions, ureter or in…
