OBJECTIVE: This study systematically evaluated the effectiveness and safety of therapeutic vaccines for precancerous cervical lesions, providing evidence for future research. METHODS: We systematically searched the literature in 10 databas…
BACKGROUND: In this study, we aimed to identify novel biomarkers for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and analyze their potential roles in immune infiltration during PCOS pathogenesis. METHODS: Five datasets, namely GSE137684, GSE80432, GS…
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…
Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) emerges as a regulator in various diseases, including endometriosis (EM). This study aims to uncover the role of long non-coding RNA BRAF-activated non-protein coding RNA (lncRNA BANCR)-mediated competing endoge…
Endometrial cancer (EC) is the gynecological tumor with the highest incidence. In recent years, it has been proved that necroptosis is a method of cell death related to EC. However, the expression of necroptosis-related miRNA in EC and its …
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…
RATIONALE: Primary ovarian abscess which develops as an isolated lesion without simultaneous tubal infection is a rare entity. Ovarian abscess (OA) is a serious complication of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) rarely seen in virginal girls…
Implantation is the first step in human reproduction. Successful implantation depends on the crosstalk between embryo and endometrium. Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a clinical phenomenon characterized by a lack of implantation aft…
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…
BACKGROUND: Early embryonic arrest (EEA) leads to repeated cessation of fresh cycles among infertile women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). Whether the levels of some essential trace elements [copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), selenium (Se) a…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis affects up to 10 % of women of reproductive age and can lead to infertility. Research investigating whether combined exposure to arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg) is related to an increased ris…
BACKGROUND: Frozen embryo transfer (FET) can greatly improve the pregnancy outcomes for high responder patients. However, it is not known whether the timing of FET is a risk factor on pregnancy outcomes in high responder patients undergoing…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical effect of mild stimulation with letrozole on pregnancy outcomes in ovulatory women undergoing frozen embryo transfer (FET) compared to natural cycle. DESIGN: Retrospective observational study. SETTING: …
OBJECTIVE: To compare the value of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)/computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in differentiating benign and malignant ovarian or adnexal tumors. MATERIALS AND MET…
Although the thin endometrium (TE) has been widely recognized as a critical factor in implantation failure, the contribution of miRNA-mRNA regulatory network to the development of disease etiology remains to be further elucidated. This stud…
Acute pancreatitis (AP), an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas with a high hospitalization rate, frequently leads to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). However, therapeutic targ…
Dysfunction of granulosa cells (GCs) leading to follicle atresia has been extensively studied as a major cause of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), but the regulatory role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in this process is still poor…
BACKGROUND: Many studies have demonstrated the positive clinical value of progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who underwent assisted reproductive technology. However, the underlying …
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common nonmalignant gynecological disorder that affects 10-15% women of reproductive age and causes several symptoms that result in decreased quality of life and a huge social burden. In recent decades, extrac…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Which metabolites are altered in the peritoneal cavity of women with endometriosis? Could the mouse endometriosis model simulate these alterations? DESIGN: Thirteen women with endometriosis and seven women with other ben…
BACKGROUND: Microwave ablation (MWA) is widely used to treat unresectable primary and secondary malignancies of the liver, and a limited number of studies indicate that ablation can cause not only necrosis at the in situ site but also an im…
OBJECTIVE: Exosomes play crucial roles in cell-cell communication, but few studies exist on the role of exosomal miRNA in the interaction between peritoneal macrophages (pMφ) and human ectopic endometrial stromal cells (eESCs) in endometrio…
INTRODUCTION: Most premenopausal women in China have normal lipid profiles while the sexual function among them was scarcely demonstrated. AIM: To find out the characteristics of the sexual function in premenopausal Chinese women without h…
The genetic etiology of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) has been well established to date, however, the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in POI is largely unknown. In this study, we identified a down-expressed lncRNA HCP5 in gran…
Some fertility patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) experience ceased follicular growth during COH and fail to superovulate. In this article, 24 such PCOS patients resumed COH 1…
