Although non-invasive and minimally invasive aesthetic procedures increasingly dominate the cosmetic market, traditional plastic surgery remains the most effective improvement method. One of the most common complications in plastic surgery,…
OBJECTIVE: To map the peritoneal autoantibody (AAb) landscape in women with endometriosis. DESIGN: Case-control laboratory study. SETTING: Academic medical and research units. PATIENT(S): Women who presented with or without endometriosis…
Adenomyosis has been associated with adverse fertility and pregnancy outcomes, and its impact on the outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) has received much attention. It is controversial whether the freeze-all strategy is better than fr…
BACKGROUND: Considerable attention has been paid to reproductive toxicity of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). However, the relationship between prenatal PM2.5 exposure and anogenital distance (AGD) has not been well studied. We aim to inves…
Almost all eukaryotes need oxygen to maintain regular physiological activities. When the organism is under hypoxic situation for a persistent or periodic, it will induce irreversible physiological disorders and even pathological results. Hy…
BACKGROUND: The etiology of systemic lupus erythematosus is complex and incurable. A large number of systematic reviews have studied the risk factors of it. Mendelian randomization is an analytical method that uses genetic data as tool vari…
BACKGROUND: Chronic endometritis (CE) is a disease of continuous and subtle inflammation occurring in the endometrial stromal area, which is often asymptomatic or present with non-specific clinical symptoms. METHODS: This study investigate…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the roles of the cGAS-STING signal pathway and autophagy in the disease progression of endometriosis and to explore the regulatory mechanism of the cGAS-STING signal pathway on autophagy. DESIGN: A case-control ex…
OBJECTIVE: Our study aimed to elucidate the effect of PAI-1 (Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1) and t-PA (Tissue-type Plasminogen Activator) in tissue remodeling in nasal polyps patients. METHODS: Samples were streamed as early Nasal Polyp…
BACKGROUND: The incidence of Y chromosome microdeletions varies among men with infertility across regions and ethnicities worldwide. However, comprehensive epidemiological studies on Y chromosome microdeletions in Chinese men with infertili…
Endometriosis is an inflammation-dependent disorder characterized by the abnormal growth of endometrium-like lesions. In recent years, there is a great deal of interest in the development of anti-inflammatory therapy. Herein, an acid-sensit…
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the value of three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (3D-TVS) for endometrial lesions in postmenopausal women, so as to improve the accuracy of clinical diagnosis of endometrial lesions in postmenopausal women. ME…
BACKGROUND: Physicians need an appropriate embryo transfer strategy to address the challenge of reducing multiple birth rates, while maintaining the couples' live birth rate during assisted reproductive technology. METHODS: We included 10,…
BACKGROUND: Vaccine hesitancy was found in couples seeking artificial reproductive technology (ART) services. As the main vaccine used in China, investigations into the influence of inactivated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines o…
We conducted this retrospective cohort study aiming to compare the different pregnancy outcomes of endometrial preparation regimens on ischemic placental disease in a frozen embryo transfer cycle. The study included a total of 9351 women wh…
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widespread chemicals. Legacy PFAS have been phased out of production in most developed countries and emerging PFAS (short-chain PFAS and polyfluorinated compounds) are used as legacy PFAS alter…
Abstract Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the key glycolysis-related genes linked to immune cell infiltration in endometriosis and to develop a new endometriosis(EMS) predictive model.Methods: A training set and a te…
The etiology of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is complicated and effective clinical preventive measures are lacking. Identifying biomarkers for RPL has been challenging, and to date, little is known about the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6…
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol regarding the neonatal outcomes and congenital malformations in babies born after in vitro fertilization (IVF) and frozen emb…
IntroductionAssisted reproductive technology (ART) and previous Cesarean section (CS) are independently associated with the risk of adverse obstetric and perinatal outcomes in general. Few studies have focused on the association between adv…
ABSTRACT Women with endometriosis have a profound association with autoimmunity. An excess of autoantigens in the peritoneal cavity resulting from retrograde menstruation could lead to inflammation and pathologic autoimmunity. Using a nativ…
The aim is to explore the protective effects of Puerarin on radiation-induced vascular endothelial cell damage and its underlying mechanism. The apoptosis and DNA damage of Human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) exposed to radi…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect and mechanism of rhein on chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN). METHOD: Twenty-four eight-week-old male SD rats were randomly divided into following 4 groups (6 rats in each group): control group, CGN group, rh…
INTRODUCTION: Cesarean scar pregnancy affects 6% of all ectopic pregnancies in women with prior cesarean section, and there is currently no consensus on the optimal treatment. Options of surgical treatment have a risk of intraoperative bloo…
