PURPOSE: To investigate whether personalized embryo transfer (pET) predicted by a modified RNA-sequencing-based endometrial receptivity test (rsERT) model can improve intrauterine pregnancy rate (IPR) in patients with a receptive window of …

OBJECTIVE: Little is known about the survival differences between uterine and extrauterine low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS). Survival outcomes, consisting of disease-free survivals and overall survivals (OS), were compared in t…

Mitochondria play a pivotal role in physiological and metabolic function of the cell. Mitochondrial dynamics orchestrate mitochondrial function and morphology, involving fission and fusion as well as ultrastructural remodeling. Mounting evi…

Background The association between menstrual cycle characteristics and cardiovascular outcomes remains unclear. This study was undertaken to evaluate whether menstrual cycle regularity and length throughout the life course are associated wi…

Objective: To investigate the familial heritability of endometriosis and to compare the clinical characteristics of patients with or without a family history of endometriosis. Methods: From January 2020 to June 2022, 850 patients with endom…

IMPORTANCE: Implantation failure remains a critical barrier to in vitro fertilization. Prednisone, as an immune-regulatory agent, is widely used to improve the probability of implantation and pregnancy, although the evidence for efficacy is…

BACKGROUND: Whether pretreatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) can improve the pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles is controversial. The inconsistencies in the results of different studies …

BACKGROUND: Oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists are promising agents in the treatment of endometriosis-related pain. Here we assessed the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of SHR7280, an oral non-pe…

BACKGROUND: The basal follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)/luteinizing hormone (LH) ratio is a useful predictor of ovarian response. In this study, we investigated whether the FSH/LH ratios during the entire controlled ovarian stimulation (CO…

Hydrosalpinx is a chronic inflammatory condition with high recurrence rate, and it is reported among female population having fallopian tubal factor infertility. Previously, we have reported that interventional ultrasound sclerotherapy impr…

The reduction in the quantity and quality of oocytes is the major factor affecting fertility in women with advanced age, who tend to experience delayed childbearing and declined fertility rate. However, effective therapeutic strategies to c…

BACKGROUND: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a refractory disease that seriously affects the reproductive health of women and is increasing in incidence and prevalence globally. There is enormous demand to improve fertility in women…

The present study aimed to explore whether chromosomal polymorphisms (CPs) have negative effects on reproductive outcomes of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET)/frozen-thawing embryo transfe…

BACKGROUND: The precise pathogenesis of poor endometrial receptivity in recurrent implantation failure (RIF) remains unclear. This study was aimed at exploring the effects of different CD44 isoforms in the mid-secretory phase endometrium on…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of weight loss on pregnancy outcomes, PCOS related neuronal-reproductive-metabolic hormones and ovarian granulosa cell gene expression profiles in obese PCOS infertile patients undergoing in vitro fertil…

BACKGROUND: Some concern has been expressed regarding the negative effects of low-level ionizing radiation exposure in the context of radiological evaluation prior to IVF/ICSI treatment, but the available evidence is limited and conflicting…

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to explore the most effective inflammation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nutrition markers for survival and pathology complete response (pCR) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LAR…

BACKGROUND: It has been demonstrated that a thin endometrium is associated with a lower chance of pregnancy, but there is a paucity of research into whether a thin endometrium adversely affects perinatal outcomes. METHODS: This was a retro…

BACKGROUND: It has been consistently shown in several meta-analyses that infants born after ART have an excess of birth defects compared with those after spontaneous conception, however, the prevalence of birth defects among ART offspring i…

BACKGROUND: There has been an interest in the relationship between ABO blood groups and infertility. Many studies have investigated the association of ABO blood groups with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome…

Emerging evidence suggests that children conceived through assisted reproductive technology (ART) have a higher risk of congenital heart defects (CHDs) even when there is no family history. De novo mutation (DNM) is a well-known cause of sp…

OBJECTIVE: The association of chronic non-malignant pain (CNP) with dyslipidemia is unclear. This retrospective study was performed to evaluate the association between CNP and dyslipidemia in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures (FN…

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of dienogest (DNG) in the treatment of refractory endometriosis-associated pain (REAP). Methods: In this study, REAP was defined according to the following criteria: (1) the pain duration was ≥…

INTRODUCTION: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a challenging problem of assisted reproductive technology that arises mainly due to inadequate endometrial receptivity and its pathogenesis is still unclear. OBJECTIVES: In this study, …
