Irpex lacteus is a fungus typically found on angiosperm branches and trunks. Here, we report the isolation of a novel strain of I. lacteus from the cervix uteri of a female patient diagnosed with endometriosis and COVID-19 at Beijing Obstet…

Uterine fibroids (UFs) are the most common benign gynecologic tumors in reproductive-aged women. The typical diagnostic strategies of UFs are transvaginal ultrasonography and pathological feature, while molecular biomarkers are considered c…

We performed clinical treatment, histopathology, immunohistochemistry and molecular analyses. To compare with the published literature and have a reference overview. A 57-year-old woman and a 77-year-old woman presented with mesonephric-lik…

STUDY QUESTION: Do extracellular vesicles (EVs) from human Fallopian tubes exert an influence on early embryo development in vitro? SUMMARY ANSWER: Human Fallopian tube EVs carrying miRNAs increase murine embryo viability in vitro. WHAT I…

BACKGROUND: There is a higher risk of preterm delivery (PTD) in singleton live births conceived after in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) compared with spontaneously conceived pregnancies. The objective of o…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of oviductal extracellular vesicles from patients with endometriosis on early embryo development. DESIGN: In vitro experimental study. SETTING: University-affiliated hospital. PATIENTS: Women with …

Objective: We aim to identify the crucial genes or potential biomarkers associated with uterine fibroids (UFs), which may provide clinicians with evidence about the diagnostic biomarker of UFs and reveal the mechanism of its progression. Me…

BACKGROUND: Thin endometrium on ovulation triggering day is associated with impaired pregnancy outcomes in women after in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI), but the role of thick endometrium on pregnancy outcom…
