STUDY QUESTION: Does inoculation with inactivated vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) before frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) affect live birth and neonatal outcomes? SUMMARY ANSWER: Inactivated Covid-19 vaccines did no…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the learning curve of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic hysterectomy (tVNOTEH) when using a standard operating procedure (SOP). METHODS: Seventy-nine patients were treated with tVNOTEH by a sing…
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic gynecological syndrome. Recent studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs participate in the pathogenesis and development of endometriosis. This study aimed to explore the mechanisms of DHRS4…
BACKGROUND: Emerging data suggest a significant association between migraine and endometriosis, however the relationship between migraine and endometriosis severity or adenomyosis is unclear. Our objectives were to explore the relationship …
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…
The heterogeneity in the pathological and clinical manifestations of ovarian cancer is a major hurdle impeding early and accurate diagnosis. A host of imaging modalities, including Doppler ultrasound, MRI, and CT, have been investigated to …
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to determine whether infertile couples who are carriers of chromosomal abnormalities have distinct cumulative clinical pregnancy and cumulative live birth rates among patients undergoing assisted reprodu…
Abstract Background: Endometriosis (EMS), an estrogen-dependent disease, is characterized by dysregulated inflammation and increased estrogen in ectopic lesions. However, the crosstalk and pathogenic mechanism of inflammation and estrogen h…
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas accompanied by tissue injury and necrosis. It not only affects the pancreas but also triggers a systemic inflammatory response that leads to multiorgan failure or ev…
INTRODUCTION: As a new minimally invasive surgery, transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) has been proved to be suitable for the treatment of a variety of gynecological benign diseases. However, compared with …
OBJECTIVE: Adenomyosis is characterized by the presence of endometrium or endometrium-like glands and stroma within the myometrium. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether the cGAS-STING pathway was activated and correlated with clin…
BACKGROUND: Although acute pancreatitis associated with hyperparathyroidism has occasionally been reported, acute pancreatitis with metabolic encephalopathy caused by hyperparathyroidism combined with paraneoplastic syndrome is an extremely…
INTRODUCTION: Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is a new concept of minimally invasive surgery. It could prevent complications related to the trocar in laparoscopic surgery, and help achieve ideal cosmetic outcomes. A…
Ovarian cancer ranks as the fifth most common cause of cancer-related death in females. The molecular mechanisms of ovarian carcinogenesis need to be explored in order to identify effective clinical therapies for ovarian cancer. Recently, m…
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…
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…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is an illness caused by the presence of foci of endometrial implants outside the uterine cavity. Laparoscopy (minimally invasive surgical method) is considered as the definitive treatment for Endometriosis. METH…
Abstract Background: Endometriosis (EMT) is the most common benign gynecological disease among women of reproductive age, causing infertility and seriously affects women's physical and mental health. However, the current treatment was not a…
PURPOSE: Progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) is a new ovarian stimulation protocol that has been used over the last decade to enhance reproductive function. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether PPOS is as effective as co…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Could extracellular vesicle-derived long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) serve as promising circulating biomarkers for endometriosis? DESIGN: To obtain novel diagnostic markers, 85 patients with endometriosis were enrolled as th…
Abstract Background: Luteinized unruptured follicular follicle syndrome (LUFS) is a special type of ovulatory dysfunction and a common cause of infertility. It is estimated that its prevalence is 13% ~ 73% in endometriosis patients. Increa…
Adenomyosis (AM) is a disease in which endometrial tissue invades the myometrium and has a 10-60% prevalence in reproductive-aged women. TSC2 regulates autophagy via mTOR1 signalling in colorectal cancer and endometrial carcinoma. Dysregula…
OBJECTIVE: It is well known that circRNAs are closely involved in the progression of various diseases. However, their functions and potential regulatory mechanisms in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) remain largely unknown. In the present s…
Adenomyosis is associated with dysmenorrhea, infertility, and lesional fibrosis. The pathogenesis of adenomyosis is still unclear. Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) plays important roles in pathological activities like tumor metasta…
PURPOSE: To determine whether the kiwi root extract inhibits the development of endometriosis in mice by suppressing inflammatory factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The mouse model of endometriosis was induced by surgery after which the mice …
