OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Peiyu Granules (PYG) compared with placebo on early miscarriage rates among women undergoing embryo transfer. METHODS: A double-blind, parallel-group randomized clinical trial between F…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the benefits of menstrual management in women undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), in whom heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) can be an underestimated bleeding complication. METHODS: This was a r…
BACKGROUND: Klinefelter syndrome (KS) and Turner syndrome (TS) are chromosomal disorders characterized by gonadal dysgenesis, leading to male and female infertility, respectively. There is a significant gap in epidemiological data on infert…
INTRODUCTION: The mechanisms of estrogen in glucose metabolism are well established; however, the role of this hormone in glucose absorption remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of estrogen on glucose absorption in hu…
BACKGROUND: Dysmenorrhea is a prevalent gynecological disorder with multifactorial pathophysiology, including prostaglandin overproduction, inflammation, and pain sensitization. Emerging evidence suggests that gut microbiota may contribute …
OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic disease severely impacting reproductive health, with its exact cause still unclear. In-depth understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of EM from the perspective of genetics and exploring ind…
BACKGROUND: To explore the impact of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) optimization concept process on the perioperative period of gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. METHODS: This retrospective observational study included patients who…
The intercellular adhesion molecule 3 (ICAM3), also known as CD50, is a member of the intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) family. All ICAM proteins are type I transmembrane glycoproteins containing 2-9 immunoglobulin-like C2-type structu…
PURPOSE: To compare the clinical outcomes of extremely poor responders with one or two oocytes who receive in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). METHODS: A retrospective study was carried out on 2572 pat…
BACKGROUND: Chronic endometritis (CE) has been widely recognized as a potential cause of infertility, however, access to effective treatment is a formidable challenge due to the rudimentary understanding of the pathogenesis of persistent CE…
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) involve in oocyte postovulatory aging, yet the mechanism of ROS accumulation is not fully understood. We explored iron metabolic status and its relationship with ROS in mouse oocytes during postovulatory aging …
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Oligomenorrhea and hypomenorrhea were common conditions in outpatient visit which affected child-bearing aged women, and the conventional progesterone treatment has been related to several side effect and contradi…
The periconception period is critical for embryo development, pregnancy outcomes, and offspring health. During this stage, oviductal and uterine fluids facilitate embryo-maternal interactions and support early embryonic development. Using P…
BACKGROUND: Abdominal ectopic pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy, and diaphragmatic ectopic pregnancy is even rarer. We described a case of an ectopic pregnancy implanted on the diaphragm's surface, diagnosed using multimodality …
BACKGROUND: The success of in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in endometriosis patients varies widely, and predicting the likelihood of achieving a live birth remains a clinical challenge. This study aims t…
Conventional treatments for advanced endometriosis often have limited efficacy due to chemotherapy resistance, recurrence, and metastasis. This study analyzed clinical specimens to investigate the role of NXF1 in endometrial cancer (ECa) pr…
Oxazole, a five-membered aromatic heterocycle featuring a nitrogen and an oxygen atom separated by a carbon atom, and its isomer isoxazole, with directly attached oxygen and nitrogen atoms, have been pivotal in medicinal chemistry. Over the…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the associations between oxidative DNA damage biomarkers (levels of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine [8-OHdG], telomere length [TL], human telomerase reverse transcriptase [hTERT], telomerase activity [TA] and polymorph…
Although per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure has been linked to endometriosis, this association remains controversial, and the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to investigate this relationship and explore …
BACKGROUND: To investigate the optimal periendometrial zone (PEZ) in ultrasound (US) images and assess the performance of ultrasound radiomics in predicting the outcome of frozen embryo transfer (FET). METHODS: This prospective study had 4…
PURPOSE: To investigate the incidence and clinical characteristic of preoperative anemia and its impacts on perioperative outcomes in gynecological inpatients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively collected data from surgical patients …
BACKGROUND: Poor ovarian response (POR) is a challenging condition in assisted reproduction technology. Oral contraceptives (OCs) are commonly used to suppress gonadotropin hormone release in POR patients to synchronize the development of a…
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the novel protocol-progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH), in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytopalsmic sp…
Disulfidptosis and ferroptosis, recently identified patterns of programmed cell death, play pivotal roles in the progression of breast cancer. This study aimed to explore the potential of disulfidptosis and ferroptosis in the prognostic str…
