BackgroundPericentric inversion of chromosome 9 [inv (9)] is a common chromosomal polymorphism found in approximately 1-2% of the population. While inv(9) has been generally considered a benign variant, its potential effects on reproductive…

BackgroundIn this study, we aimed to explore the effect of the timing of surgical management of hydrosalpinx on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic single-sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) pregnancy outcomes in patients with tubal factor infer…

BackgroundChronic endometritis (CE), characterized by CD138+ plasma cell infiltration, has been proposed to impair reproductive outcomes in assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, current evidence remains inconsistent, and diagnost…

Endometriosis is a common, chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, frequently associated with significant morbidities such as pelvic pain and infertility. Elucidati…

BackgroundSteroid hormone-driven endometrial decidualization involves the differentiation of endometrial stromal cells into decidual cells, which form the decidua for blastocyst implantation. This process is a prerequisite for successful em…

BackgroundThe copper intrauterine device (Cu-IUD) is a widely used long-term contraceptive method. However, whether prior Cu-IUD use, including long-term exposure, affects reproductive and neonatal outcomes after assisted reproductive techn…

BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance (IR) is a key metabolic disturbance that adversely affects assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes. In women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), IR has been well documented to impair oocyte quality,…

Abstract Background: Adenomyosis is an estrogen-dependent benign gynecological disorder, although its exact pathophysiology is still mostly unclear. SRY-box transcription factor 9 (SOX9) is an essential transcription factor regulating e…

BackgroundEndometrial thickness (EMT) is a crucial indicator of endometrial receptivity in assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, its relationship with pregnancy outcomes remains unclear, especially across different cycle types su…

BackgroundThe administration of exogenous gonadotropins (Gn) to elicit multi-follicular development for controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) represents a pivotal component of assisted reproductive technology (ART). Presently, the exogenous …

BackgroundAccurate early diagnosis of ovarian cancer is crucial. The objective of this research is to create a comprehensive model that merges clinical variables, O-RADS, and deep learning radiomics to support preoperative diagnosis and ass…

Diseases of the female reproductive system are prevalent. These conditions often have a high proportion of asymptomatic patients and prolonged treatment durations. Estrogen, a crucial steroid hormone, plays a central role in most diseases o…

Infectious diseases, such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and maternal sepsis, are major contributors to female infertility, creating a substantial burden on women of reproductive age. Based on Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021,…

Premature ovarian failure is a prevalent gynecological endocrine disorder with an increasing incidence rate each year, impacting women's physical and mental health. The causes of POF are poorly understood, but genetic, immune, iatrogenic, e…

BackgroundOil-based contrast medium in hysterosalpingography has been recommended as an approach to improve fertility in recent years. However, this approach has rarely been applied to patients with unknown recurrent implantation failure (R…

BackgroundInformation on the impact of Progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol on embryo euploid status and preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) outcomes is limited compared with other ovarian stimulation prot…

BackgroundThalassemia is a hereditary blood disorder that can impact fertility due to various factors such as iron overload and endocrine disruption. While the effects of iron overload on fertility outcomes in transfusion-dependent thalasse…

Advanced maternal age (AMA, ≥35 years) women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) face reduced live birth rates (LBR) and remain a major clinical challenge. In a large randomized trial, Zishen Yutai Pill (ZYP) improved LBR in t…

•The reference intervals calculated using RefineR, Kosmic, TMC, and non-parametric methods are similar.•TMC algorithm is more robust, demonstrates a high pass rate among the four methods and has the ability to automatically isolate outliers…

BackgroundA newly generic microspheres, sustained-release formulation of triptorelin acetate 3.75 mg has been developed.ObjectivesTo evaluate the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and safety of triptorelin 1-month formulation in Chinese patients …

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of adding 4 mg estradiol valerate to progesterone for luteal support on pregnancy rates in IVF cycles following a long protocol with reduced luteal serum estradiol levels post-hCG triggering.…

BackgroundPrior research showed that elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) before in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) treatment can lead to a lower rate of liv…

PurposeEstradiol valerate (Progynova®) is used as hormone therapy to supplement estrogen deficiency. This study aimed to assess the bioequivalence of an estradiol valerate tablet and its generic form, under fasting and fed conditions.Method…
