BackgroundOnly a small number of studies have reported the use of progesterone vaginal gel in combination with dydrogesterone as part of the antagonist protocol for fresh embryo transfer. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effects o…
Population isolates such as those in Finland benefit genetic research because deleterious alleles are often concentrated on a small number of low-frequency variants (0.1% ≤ minor allele frequency < 5%). These variants survived the founding …
OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of gut dysbiosis-derived β-glucuronidase (GUSB) in the development of endometriosis (EMs). DESIGN: 16S rRNA sequencing of stool samples from women with (n = 35) or without (n = 30) endometriosis and from a mo…
BackgroundEctopic pregnancy is more common amongst assisted reproduction cycles and is a cause of significant maternal morbidity. Few predictive markers exist to help identify and modify risk of ectopic pregnancy in preparing for embryo tra…
OBJECTIVE: To study biomarkers to develop a novel diagnosis model for endometriosis and validate it using clinical samples. DESIGN: We used publicly available data sets and weighted gene coexpression network analysis to identify differenti…
Iron is essential for the health of reproductive system, and women with iron overload suffer from ovarian dysfunction and lack effective treatment in fertility preservation. However, the underlying mechanism of the detrimental effects of ir…
Endometriosis (EM) is a prevalent and debilitating gynecological disorder primarily affecting women of reproductive age. The diagnosis of EM is historically hampered by delays, owing to the absence of reliable diagnostic and monitoring tech…
The comorbid mechanism of depression and chronic pain has been a research hotspot in recent years. Until now, the role of purinergic signals in the comorbid mechanism of depression and chronic pain has not been fully understood. This review…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop a predictive tool for live birth in women with adenomyosis undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment. METHODS: A total of 424 patients with adenomyosis wh…
BackgroundTo compare the efficacy and safety of follitropin delta in its individualized fixed-dose regimen with follitropin alfa in a conventional adjustable dosing regimen in Chinese women. METHODS: This was a subgroup analysis of the ran…
Staphylococcus aureus, a gram-positive bacterium, causes toxic shock through the production of superantigenic toxins (sAgs) known as Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE), serotypes A-J (SEA, SEB, etc.), and toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1)…
Endometriosis (EMs) is defined as the presence of tissue somewhat resembling endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus; the retrograded endometrium grows in the peritoneal cavity and elicits fibrosis. Ferroptosis is a recently discov…
PurposeThis study aimed to develop a risk prediction of fertilization disorders during the in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI).MethodsA retrospective study was performed with 106,728 fresh embryo IVF/ICSI cycl…
Anaphylaxis due to autoimmune progesterone dermatitis is a rare but severe allergic disease in women. The clinical manifestations of APD are diverse, and a proper understanding of the disease can help even diagnose and treat it. A case of a…
BackgroundMore and more scholars have called for the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) of a complete ovarian stimulation cycle as a key indicator for assisted reproductive technology. This research aims to study the CLBR of the first ovaria…
Abstract Background There is few predictive tools for live birth in women with adenomyosis, which provide further personalized and clinically specific information related to individualized decisions making during IVF/ICSI treatment. Methods…
BackgroundPatients with elevated circulating progesterone concentrations on the day of the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger had relatively low implantation rates during assisted reproductive treatments. In this study, we assess th…
Purpose To determine the impact of ovarian endometrioma per se on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) outcomes. Methods This retrospective study was conducted using two groups. The endometrioma group consisted…
Heart failure (HF) is the terminal stage of multifarious heart diseases and is responsible for high hospitalization rates and mortality. Pathophysiological mechanisms of HF include cardiac hypertrophy, remodeling and fibrosis resulting from…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the ultra-long gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) protocol and the long GnRH-a protocol during in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm (ICSI) treatment on fertility outcomes…
PurposeTo establish a mathematical model for assessing the true ovarian reserve based on the predicted probability of poor ovarian response (POR).MethodsIn this retrospective cohort study, a total of 1523 GnRH-antagonist cycles in 2017 were…
microRNAs regulate subcellular functions through distinct molecular mechanisms. In this study, we used normal and pathogenic fibroblasts in pelvic fracture urethral distraction defects (PFUDD) patients. PFUDD is a common disease that could …
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a leading cause of cancer mortality and is expected to continue increasing incidence. Abnormally expressed microRNAs have been demonstrated tightly correlated with the development and progression of PC. However, th…
Many in vitro studies have shown that tea catechins had vevarious health beneficial effects. However, inconsistent results between in vitro and in vivo studies or between laboratory tests and epidemical studies are observed. Low bioavailabi…
