OBJECTIVES: Experimental models have demonstrated a link between exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and decreased fertility and fecundability; however, human studies are scarce. We assessed the associations between preconception p…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic disease. Our previous study identified a positive correlation between high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and endometriosis, and HMGB1 and inflammation. However, the precise roles of HMGB1 in endometrios…
Endometriosis is a common reproductive disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial implants outside of the uterus. It affects ~1 in 10 women of reproductive age. Endometriosis in the ovary, also known as endometrioma (OMA), is the…
BACKGROUND: There is limited concrete evidence connecting serum uric acid levels to female infertility. Therefore, this study aimed to find out if serum uric acid levels are independently related to female infertility. METHODS: From the Na…
BACKGROUND: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and unexplained infertility (UI) are common pregnancy disorders that affect women's physical and mental health and lack effective treatment. Endometrial factors are one factor that leads to RPL. Th…
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 is a common disease in the field of gynaecology, exhibiting clinical manifestations such as dysmenorrhoea, pelvic masses, and infertility, affecting 2–10% of women of reproductive age worldwide. Currently, the acceptance rate …

Due to the poor metabolic conditions fomenting the emergence of the Warburg effect (WE) phenotype, abnormal glycometabolism has become a unique and fundamental research topic in the field of tumor biology. Moreover, hyperglycemia and hyperi…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine and metabolic disorder characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation. Previous studies have demonstrated that the gut microbiome can affect the host tissue cells' mRNA N6-methyladenosine (m…
INTRODUCTION: Ovarian cancer is one of the most fatal malignancies of the female reproductive system. The purpose of this study is to explore the mechanism of Actin Related Protein 2/3 Complex Subunit 1B(ARPC1B) in the progression of ovaria…
INTRODUCTION: The report on Levonorgestrel⁃releasing intrauterine system (LNG⁃IUS) suture under hysteroscopy is very rare, and currently only three articles have been reported. We reported a patient with adenomyosis who had previously had L…
INTRODUCTION: Although previous studies have shown that vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) has the advantages of causing less pain, faster recovery, and better concealment of surgical incisions, which aligns wi…
BACKGROUND: Few studies have described the relationship between the type of infertility and live birth in patients treated with intrauterine insemination (IUI). We focused on this issue and attempted to explore it. METHODS: This retrospect…
Objective: To evaluate the impact of chronic endometritis (CE) on the recurrence of endometrial polyps (EPs) in premenopausal women who underwent hysteroscopic polypectomy. Methods: : We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study…
BACKGROUND: Preterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal death, and there are no effective clinical means for the prevention and treatment of spontaneous preterm birth, mainly because the mechanism for labor initiation has not been fully …
BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance (IR) contributes to ovarian dysfunctions in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) patients. Serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) is an acute phase protein produced primarily by the liver in response to inflammation. In additi…
BACKGROUND: Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is one of the leading causes of infertility and the main clinical challenge is the high recurrence rate. The key to solving this dilemma lies in elucidating the mechanisms of endometrial fibrosis. The…
INTRODUCTION: and importance: Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality in many developing countries. Female genital tuberculosis, a relatively uncommon form of tuberculosis, is critically challenging to diagnose due to its ins…
Increasing evidence has verified the indispensable effect of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the biological processes of human diseases, including endometriosis. hsa-miR-340-5p was reported to display a low level in patients with endometriosis, but t…
BACKGROUND: Unsubstantiated concerns have been raised on the potential correlation between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination and infertility, leading to vaccine hesitancy in reproductive-aged populatio…
PURPOSE: To study the relationship between blastomere number and pregnancy outcomes of day 3 embryo transfers. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included 2237 fresh single day 3 embryo transfer cycles from October 2013 to November 2…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Do frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles following long-term gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) pretreatment have better pregnancy outcomes than fresh embryo transfer cycles with long or ultra-long GnRHa protoc…
Ovulation is a dramatic remodeling process that includes rupture of blood capillaries and clotting, but coagulation is not thought to directly regulate this process. Herein, we report remarkable increases of coagulation factors V (f5, ~3145…
