OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Shaofu Zhuyu Decoction on decidualization and the expression of progesterone receptor-β (PR-β) and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L (HNRNPL) in a mouse model of endometriosis. METHODS: An e…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterine cavity and is associated with pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Although several theori…

Pain assessment is fundamental in pain medicine, anesthesiology, perioperative care, and clinical trials, yet it remains difficult to standardize across diseases, populations, and care settings. This review organizes pain assessment into fo…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether chronic pain conditions (CPCs) are associated with increased risk of incident dry eye disease (DED) and prescription-requiring DED in a large electronic health record network. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort stu…

In this report, we describe two cases of diaphragmatic endometriosis with concurrent hepatorenal recess peritoneal involvement managed using robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery with the da Vinci Xi platform. In both patients, diaphragmati…

This study investigates the role of carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and analyzes factors associated with its elevation. A total of 220 patients diagnosed with SLE at the Department …

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a leading cause of gynecologic cancer mortality, with survival prediction limited by existing prognostic models that fail to capture tumor heterogeneity. Conventional methods lack precision for individualized risk ass…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Despite several existing theories, the etiology and molecular mechanisms of endometriosis remain to be investigated. Here we report that transcript…

Infertility is a complex and sensitive phenomenon experienced by many couples worldwide. Our study investigated the causal effects of 486 serum metabolites on infertility using a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach, providing insights int…

Short-term IVF (S-IVF) is a fertilization approach to co-incubate the sperm and oocyte for a short duration and denude the cumulus cells afterwards. The S-IVF combined with early rescue intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) strategy can r…

The rapid advances in epigenetic and epitranscriptomic regulatory mechanisms have opened new prospects for precision therapies in various diseases. N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) is currently the only known eukaryotic RNA ac4C acetyltransfe…

The female immune system operates within an evolutionary stability-plasticity trade-off, where the physiological demands of pregnancy necessitate a considerable degree of regulatory T cell (Treg) plasticity. This essential flexibility, howe…

BACKGROUND: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is defined as the decline in both quantity and quality of oocytes in the ovarian cortex. In recent years, DOR has shown an increasing trend among young women. However, the specific etiology and d…

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to explore the feasibility and safety of robotic single port vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RSP-vNOTES) hysterectomy when compared with traditional vaginal natural orifice translumina…

BACKGROUND: Copy number variations (CNVs) of uncertain significance (VUS) are increasingly identified through prenatal and postnatal genetic testing, yet their clinical interpretation remains challenging. We report a neonate with hematologi…

OBJECTIVE: To identify if there is a high-risk group for chronic endometritis (CE) in infertile women. METHODS: A retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted on 209 infertile women with CE and 843 women without. Both univariate …

BACKGROUND: The levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) may have its contraceptive or therapeutic efficacy compromised if displacement or expulsion occurs. By suturing and securing the device to the uterine wall, the risk of expulsion …

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is a prevalent form of cancer worldwide, presenting a substantial risk to human well-being. Lung cancer is classified into two main types: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The adv…

BACKGROUND: Carotenoids, known for their antioxidant properties and potential health benefits, have attracted considerable attention. Nonetheless, the association between carotenoid levels and gallstone prevalence has not been adequately ex…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical features of bladder endometriosis and factors associated with urinary symptoms, pregnancy outcomes, and long-term effects of symptom relief and recurrence. DESIGN: A single-center retrospective cohort…
