BackgroundOvarian sex cord-stromal tumors (OSCSTs) are a rare and heterogeneous group of ovarian neoplasms, encompassing various subtypes such as ovarian thecoma, fibroma (including cellular fibroma), and ovarian granulosa cell tumors (OGCT…
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) represents a rare and aggressive subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer with distinctive clinical and molecular characteristics. However, the identification, origin, and molecular features of the malignant …
Antibiotic use is known to contribute to the development of osteoporosis, although the exact mechanisms remain poorly understood. Metronidazole (MET), a commonly prescribed antibiotic for treating anaerobic infections, has been linked to al…
Ferredoxins (FDXs) are evolutionarily conserved iron-sulfur (Fe-S) proteins that serve as master regulators of mitochondrial redox homeostasis, governing critical processes including electron transfer, energy metabolism, Fe-S cluster biogen…
Hormonal contraceptives (HCs) are commonly prescribed medications that have had immeasurable impacts on quality of life and health of women and families globally. However, usage of exogenous hormones is not without risks, and patients often…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different endometrial treatment regimens on the outcome of frozen embryo transfer (FET). METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 1,454 FET cycles was conducted. Subgroups were str…
In this single-center, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial, we investigated whether human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells loaded collagen scaffolds (hUC-MSC/CS) could improve the cumulative live-birth rate (cLBR) in…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a uterine disorder closely linked to infertility and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Despite its clinical significance, the mechanisms by which adenomyosis impairs embryo implantation and perinatal outcomes remain inc…
Introduction Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a major challenge in reproductive medicine, and emerging evidence suggests that alterations in the endometrial microbiota may play a critical role in its pathogenesis. To identify the mai…
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a common, heterogeneous disorder that affects up to 3.5% of women under 40 years of age and is defined by oligo/amenorrhoea, hypo-oestrogenism, and markedly elevated gonadotrophin levels. POI substan…
BackgroundMeigs syndrome is characterized by the association of a benign ovarian tumor, typically an ovarian fibroma, with pleural effusion and ascites.Case summaryThis report presents a case of a 54-year-old woman who was misdiagnosed with…
The regulatory mechanism between N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation and histone modification in endometrial receptivity remains poorly understood. In this study, we depict that RIF induced m6A and Mettl3 level restrain, affecting H3K2…
BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) exert a crucial role in the progression of lung cancer (LC) and can serve as prognostic biomarkers.AimTo analyze the prognostic value of miR-3613-5p and its regulatory effect on XPO6 in LC, this study was conduc…
This review explores the non-invasive applications of Raman spectroscopy in assisted reproductive technology (ART). Raman spectroscopy, a powerful tool for analyzing biological samples, has shown great potential in enhancing ART outcomes th…
Rising rates of infertility have stimulated interest in dietary supplements to improve oocyte quality through mitochondrial function, antioxidant activity, and epigenetically regulated metabolic pathways. Mitochondria provides adenosine tri…
BACKGROUND: Macrophage M2 polarization plays a critical role in the progression of endometriosis (EMS), and glycolysis has emerged as a potential therapeutic target. This study aimed to investigate the interplay between glycolytic signaling…
BackgroundPreimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) has been widely utilized to select euploid embryos in patients carrying balanced chromosomal rearrangements (BCRs) by chromosome copy number analys…
Peptide- and protein-based therapeutics offer realized and potential benefits to health, due to their potent bioactivity, high specificity, and favorable safety characteristics. However, their widespread clinical application is constrained …
Deoxynivalenol (DON) and octyl gallate (OG) are prevalent compounds in the environment and food. DON is frequently detected in cereals such as corn and wheat, while OG is commonly employed as a food additive. As a result, human exposure to …
