Objectives: While the decision of abortion is undeniably complex, there are situations where it becomes a necessary choice. In such circumstances, a secure abortion procedure is essential to safeguard the physical and mental well-being of women. A uterine direct visualization system was designed to fulfill the requirements and this study undertook an assessment of the system's safety and effectiveness within a medical facility setting.
Materials And Methods: Induced abortion requested women in 17 institutions across the country between December 2016 and February 2017 were enrolled. Subjects were separated to the study and control group randomly. Induced abortion was conducted by a uterine direct visualization system and an ultrasound-guided system in the study and control group, respectively. The clinical indexes collected during intra- and post-procedures were analyzed and compared between groups.
Results: Overall, 392 and 339 subjects were included in the study and control group, respectively. The baseline demographic and clinical characteristics were similar between two groups. Subjects in the study group had significant smaller number of uterine cavity entry (p < 0.001), less 2-h and 14-days postoperative bleeding (all p < 0.001), and less 14-days postoperative abdominal pain (p < 0.001). Significantly higher ratio of normal menstruation, in terms of incidence and duration after 60-days of operation, was observed in the study group (all p < 0.001).
Conclusions: Induced abortion with uterine direct visualization system generate better outcome and less complication than the conventional ultrasound-guided abortion procedures.

Uterine leiomyomata, commonly known as fibroids, are prevalent benign tumours affecting a significant percentage of women of reproductive age. Although many patients remain asymptomatic, a substantial proportion experience severe symptoms, including abnormal uterine bleeding and adverse reproductive outcomes. Surgical intervention often becomes necessary for patients with symptomatic fibroids, despite advancements in medical therapies.

Background: Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is a common cause of clinically refractory infertility, and there exists significant heterogeneity in the treatment outcomes among IUA patients with the similar severity after transcervical resection of adhesion(TCRA). The underlying mechanism of different treatment outcomes occur remains elusive, and the precise contribution of various cell subtypes in this process remains uncertain.
Results: Here, we performed single-cell transcriptome sequencing on 10 human endometrial samples to establish a single-cell atlas differences between patients who responded to estrogen therapy and those who did not.

Background: Preterm birth, a leading cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity, is often associated with inflammation and aberrant myometrial contractions. This study investigates the role of Piezo1, a mechanosensitive ion channel, in myometrium contraction and inflammation-associated preterm birth.
Methods: We employed Western blotting, Immunofluorescence, and Quantitative real-time PCR techniques to examine Piezo1 expression in uterine tissues.

As a chronic gynecological disease, endometriosis is defined as the implantation of endometrial glands as well as stroma outside the uterine cavity. Proliferation is a major pathophysiology in endometriosis. Previous studies demonstrated a hormone named melatonin, which is mainly produced by the pineal gland, exerts a therapeutic impact on endometriosis.

Uterine Fibroids (UF) are the most common (about 70 % cases) benign gynecological smooth muscle tumors of the uterus in women of reproductive age, characterized by abnormal cholesterol, lipoproteins, and triglyceride levels, and are a major public health concern. Despite its high prevalence, this condition remains complex and poorly understood. These tumors are hormone-dependent and hormones and lipid levels are inversely related.
