OBJECTIVES: Resuscitation transfer of embryos after elective cryopreservation has been widely applied in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) therapy for human infertility or sterility owing to higher embryo implantation rates. T…
BACKGROUND: Regardless of unique status or symptoms, any woman with endometriosis is at risk of developing mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective psychological treatment for d…
Endometriosis (EMs) is a benign gynecological disorder showing some tumor-like migratory and invasive phenotypes. This study intended to investigate the role of microRNA-30c (miR-30c) in EMs, which is involved with B-cell lymphoma 9 (BCL9),…
OBJECTIVE: Emerging studies have demonstrated the promising clinical value of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) for diagnosis, disease assessment, treatment monitoring and prognosis in epithelial ovarian cancer. However, the clinical applicati…
The intestinal microbiome plays an essential role in human health and disease status. So far, microbiota transplantation is considered a potential therapeutic approach for treating some chronic diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) remains a major challenge to reproductive health due to multifactorial etiology, disease heterogeneity, and the lack of appropriate diagnostic markers and treatment. Eexosome (Exo) has become a major factor i…
Varicocele (VC) is a common urogenital disease that leads to a high risk of testicular pain or male infertility. The purpose of this research was to explore the molecular mechanism of the Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan (GFW) in the treatment of VC. Th…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a gynecological disease that poses severe health risks to women, although its pathogenesis has yet to be fully elucidated. It has been shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely associated with E…
Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a rather thorny problem in the clinical practice of assisted reproductive technology. Due to the complex aetiology of RIF, its pathogenesis is far from fully understood, and there is no effective trea…
Total number born (TNB), number of stillborn (NSB), and gestation length (GL) are economically important traits in pig production, and disentangling the molecular mechanisms associated with traits can provide valuable insights into their ge…
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at higher risk for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related morbidity and mortality. However, a significant portion of CKD patients showed hesitation toward vaccination in telephone survey o…
OBJECTIVE: To measure the inspection depth of uterine lumen by transvaginal ultrasound and assess the association between the inspection depth and pregnancy outcomes in IVF-ET. METHODS: This prospective longitudinal cohort study was conduc…
The uterus is the core place for breeding new life. The balance and imbalance of uterine microecology can directly affect or even dominate the female reproductive health. Emerging data demonstrate that endometrial microbiota, endometrium an…
PURPOSE: Catenin Beta 1 (CTNNB1) is a key regulator of cell proliferation and invasion in endometriosis; however, its upstream factor is not clear. Long noncoding RNAs may participate in endometriosis. The aim of this study was to investiga…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death among gynecologic malignancies. With much evidence suggesting that 18F-FDG PET/CT may be an excellent imaging test for the diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer recurr…
Women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) have reduced fertility, but the underlying regulation of ovarian function remains unknown. Although differential microRNA (miRNA) expression has been described in several ovarian disorders, little…
Successful embryo implantation requires a competent embryo, a receptive endometrium and synchronized communication between them. The selection of embryos with the highest implantation potential remains a challenge in the field of assisted r…
Phthalate esters (PAEs) are ubiquitous in indoor environments as plasticizers in indoor products. Residences are often exposed to indoor PAEs in the form of gas, particles, settled dust, and surface phases. To reveal the mechanism behind th…
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent chemical modification in eukaryotic messenger RNAs. By participating in various RNA-related bioprocesses including RNA decay, splicing, transport and translation, m6A serves as a pivotal regula…
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is an intricate condition with multiple etiologies that lead to indefinite pain mechanisms. Physicians and researchers are challenged in its treatment, and the combined therapy of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologi…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease in women. A relevant literature search found that approximately 82% of patients with adenomyosis chose to undergo hysterectomy. However, women of childbearing age are more likely to …
Endometriosis is a common chronic condition characterized by abnormal growth of the endometrium outside the uterus. Heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) is a significant regulator of the proteotoxic stress response and plays an essentia…
OBJECTIVE: Chronic endometritis (CE) contributes to impaired endometrial receptivity and is closely associated with poor in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. However, the mechanisms underlying CE are unclear. Here, we investigated the rol…
We have recently demonstrated that endometrial-myometrial interface (EMI) disruption (EMID) can cause adenomyosis in mice, providing experimental evidence for the well-documented epidemiological finding that iatrogenic uterine procedures in…
