INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to investigate the association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels in serum (VD-S) and follicular fluid (VD-FF) and the laboratory outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in patients with diminished …

Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging environmental pollutants, but evidence concerning their effects on endometrial injury and adverse pregnancy outcomes remains limited. Therefore, we employed the Targeted Risk Assessment of Environ…

BACKGROUND: Endometrial receptivity (ER) is critical for embryo implantation, and its impairment is a major contributor to infertility. Current ER evaluation methods are invasive and poorly standardized. Shear wave elastography (SWE) offers…

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants with potential reproductive toxicity, yet their profiles in follicular fluid and impacts on human fertility remain unclear. Given the importance of diet as…

BACKGROUND: Homocysteine (Hcy) is a sulfur-containing intermediate metabolite during methionine metabolism. Studies indicate that individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have higher circulating Hcy levels relative to unaffected po…

UNLABELLED: This study aimed to discover key genes associated with the in-vitro-fertilization embryo transfer (IVF‑ET) outcomes and develop new prediction models, as well as potential drugs. We enrolled the following infertile women who rec…

Globally, approximately 80-95% of women of reproductive age are affected by premenstrual syndrome and menstrual-related symptoms, which significantly impair their quality of life. Although non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and hormonal …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious neurological system disease. After SCI, a series of cascade reactions can cause irreversible damage, with a high disability rate and mortality rate. The complexity of the pathological mechanism of SCI l…

INTRODUCTION: Hydrosalpinx is one of the common organic causes of infertility, and the accumulation of fluid in this condition can severely affect embryo implantation and development. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We collected fallopian tube fluid…

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a widely used chemical in industrial production. It can be introduced into the environment through multiple pathways and exhibits resistance to degradation. Recent research has demonstrated a significant …

AIM: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder with high incidence. It has been reported that patients with PCOS are at great risk of developing endometrial cancer (EC). Our study was aimed to analyze the shared gene s…

BACKGROUND Primary retroperitoneal tumors (PRTs) are uncommon, with retroperitoneal dermoid cysts being particularly rare. The cystic cavity of mature cystic teratomas (dermoid cysts) is lined with squamous epithelium and primarily filled w…

We aimed to evaluate the successful long-term use of dienogest for the management of pelvic pain and bleeding control in perimenopausal women with symptomatic adenomyosis using real-world data. All women aged ≥ 40 years with adenomyosis who…

Inadequate endometrial receptivity often results in embryo implantation failure and miscarriage. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a key signaling molecule secreted during early embryonic development, which regulates embryonic maternal …

Ulcerative colitis (UC), a chronic and nonspecific inflammatory disease of the intestine, has become a prevalent global health concern. This guideline aims to equip clinicians and caregivers with effective strategies for the treatment and m…

BACKGROUND: Currently, awareness about platelet count (PC) and its consequences for perinatal outcome have increased, but there is little reliable evidence on fecundability. METHODS: Based on the National Free Pre-conception Check-up Proje…

BACKGROUND: We aimed to develop an accurate model to predict live birth for patients receiving in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatment. METHODS: This is a prospective nested case-control study. Women aged between 18 a…

BACKGROUND: The decline in the quantity and quality of mitochondria are closely associated with infertility, particularly in advanced maternal age. Transferring autologous mitochondria into the oocytes of infertile females represents an inn…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis developing in a cesarean section (CS) scar is an unusual event. Malignant transformation arising on the background of scar endometriosis in the abdominal wall is extremely rare. Herein we report a case of clear cel…

Tryptophan (TRP) and its indole metabolites exhibit numerous biological effects, especially their antioxidant properties. This study used untargeted metabolomics in conjunction with targeted metabolomics to investigate the differential expr…

BackgroundAge-related fertility decay is a great challenge for clinicians. Growth hormone (GH) supplementation has been studied as an adjuvant since late 1980s. However, it has not come to a consensus on the GH administration due to the amb…
