Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease caused by the implantation of active endometrial cells outside the uterine cavity. In most cases, endometriosis occurs in the pelvic area, such as the ovary, Douglas' pouch, or uterine sacral …
BACKGROUND Recurrent heterotopic pregnancy is a serious and rare pregnancy complication that occurs after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, posing a great threat to the safety of the mother and intrauterine fetus. We report a case…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer (OC) represents a common neoplasm within the female reproductive tract. The prognosis for patients diagnosed at advanced stages is unfavorable, primarily attributable to the absence of reliable screening markers f…
Abstract Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder that may cause chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and metabolic disorders. Sarcopenia, a progressive skeletal muscle loss, often affects older adults. This study explored the inciden…
BACKGROUND: Reduced endometrium thickness and receptivity are two important reasons for recurrent implantation failure (RIF). In order to elucidate differences between these two types of endometrial defects in terms of molecular signatures,…
Existing biomarkers for ovarian cancer lack sensitivity and specificity. We compared the diagnostic efficacy of nonlinear machine learning and linear statistical models for diagnosing ovarian cancer using a combination of conventional labor…
BACKGROUND: Clinical value of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was investigated in this study. METHODS: A retrospective analy…
OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to explore the feasibility and safety of robot-assisted total hysterectomy by transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES). METHODS: In this study, the clinical data of 37 patient…
Background: Endometriosis is a common chronic disorder, which leads to dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, pelvic chronic pain, and infertility. It affects ∼6% to 10% of the general female population. However, the etiology of endometriosis remained …
Controversial conclusions have been made in previous studies regarding the influence of ultra-long gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) in the reproductive outcomes of women with endometriosis who are undergoing in vitro fertiliz…
BACKGROUND: Decidual macrophages participate in immune regulation at the maternal-fetal interface. Abnormal M1/M2 polarization of decidual macrophages might predispose immune maladaptation in recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). However, the mec…
Reproductive disorders are considered a global health problem influenced by physiological, genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. The increased exposure to bisphenols, a chemical used in large quantities for the production of polyca…
Abstract China’s “three-child policy” in response to population ageing has cast safeguarding perinatal health an urgent priority, whereas previous research seldom explored the pregnancy-related cardiovascular and haematological diseases. H…
Peony pollen contains multiple nutrients and components and has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine with a long history, but the effect of the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea remains to be clarified. The aim of this study is to in…
BACKGROUND: Inflammation plays a crucial role in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), including inflammation caused by high-glucose and high-lipid (HGHL). Targeting inflammation may provide a useful strategy for preventing and …
Glycolysis is the preferred energy metabolism pathway in cancer cells even when the oxygen content is sufficient. Through glycolysis, cancer cells convert glucose into pyruvic acid and then lactate to rapidly produce energy and promote canc…
Low-dose aspirin is widely used during frozen-embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Its anti-platelet property makes it a potentially useful drug for the prevention of hypertension disorders of pregnancy (HDP). However, the existing evidence about …
The influence of endometrioma on oocyte and embryo competence is inconclusive. Furthermore, the benefits of surgical treatment remain uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the effect of endometrioma on oocyte and embryo quality from a …
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved catabolic process that can degrade cytoplasmic materials and recycle energy to maintain metabolite homeostasis in cells. Autophagy is closely related to various physiological or pathological processe…
OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to evaluate the expression of microRNA-223 (miRNA-223) in patient-derived eutopic and ectopic endometrial stromal cells (SCs). Given the fact that miRNA-223 was previously shown to be upregulated in these …
During controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH), cystic anechoic zones in the uterine cavity are occasionally visible. This retrospective matched cohort study collected information on patients who underwent in vitro fertilization/intracyto…
The goal of this study was to identify genes that were differentially methylated and differentially expressed and their related signaling pathways in ovarian endometriosis tissue. First, the DNA methylation and gene expression profiles in t…
The implantation rate (IR) in assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection is affected by many different factors such as age, quality of embryo, and stage of embryo development…
Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common leading cause of cancer-related death in women, which is associated with the increased level of estrogen in the body. Artesunate (ART), an active compound derived from Artemisia annua L., exerted antitumo…
BACKGROUND: Acupuncture has been widely used to treat primary dysmenorrhea (PD) with satisfactory outcomes. Sanyinjiao (SP6) is the most commonly used acupoint for PD. Different needling techniques may influence the effect of SP6, and its u…
