Preterm birth (PTB), defined as delivery between 28 and 37 weeks of gestation, is a leading cause of global neonatal mortality. Its pathogenesis is primarily driven by oxidative stress and inflammation, synergistically inducing calcium ion …
OBJECTIVE: This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate whether a goal-directed weight loss intervention prior to assisted reproductive technology (ART) improves live birth rates compared with immediate in vitro fertilization (IVF) wit…
INTRODUCTION: Gingivitis is a prevalent complication in adolescents undergoing fixed orthodontic treatments. However, changes in the supragingival microbiome associated with gingivitis and the impact of Candida albicans remain elusive. Ther…
BACKGROUND: Research into the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMs) would substantially promote its effective treatment and early diagnosis. However, the aetiology of EMs is poorly understood and controversial despite the progress in EMs rese…
OBJECTIVE: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a refractory disease that seriously affects female fertility. Growing body of evidence has indicated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as promising resources in regenerative medicine. In this …
OBJECTIVE: In the present study, we aimed to determine whether pregravid obesity independently predicts increased risks of perinatal complications following in vitro fertilization (IVF) and the weight loss goals to reduce the risk of poor p…
UNLABELLED: Pelvic pain, infertility, and a high postoperative recurrence rate are associated with endometriosis and adversely affect the physical and mental health of patients. Moreover, these factors place a heavy burden on families and s…
Embryo implantation involves the intimate interaction between an implantation-competent blastocyst and a receptive uterus, which occurs in a limited time period known as the window of implantation. Emerging evidence shows that defects origi…
Objective:To investigate the expression and clinical significance of SKP2 in endometriosis.Methods:Thirty specimens of eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissues were obtained from patients with endometriosis(observation group).Thirty specimen…
Extensive tissue remodeling occurs in the corpus luteum (CL) during both formation and luteolysis. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) are believed to play pivotal roles in these processes. In the present st…
The expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in rat ovarian follicles and corpus luteum (CL) during different stages of pregnancy and postpartum were investigated. In addition, the effect of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-…
