Inflammation is a double-edged sword. The moderate inflammatory response is a fundamental defense mechanism produced by the body's resistance to dangerous stimuli and a repair process of the body itself. Increasing studies have confirmed th…
BACKGROUND Endometriosis is a progressive disease, and early detection and early treatment are particularly important. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the timing of laparoscopy on the spontaneous pregnancy rate of…
BACKGROUND: Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant genetic neoplastic disorder caused by germline mutation or deletion of the VHL gene, characterized by the tendency to develop multisystem benign or malignant tumors. The m…
The mechanism underlying the role of oxidative stress and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) in the aetiology of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is poorly understood. Here, we investigated the plasma AOPP level in POI patient…
Emerging evidence suggests that ADP-ribosylation factor like-4c (Arl4c) may be a potential choice for cancer treatment. However, its role in pancreatic cancer, especially in tumor-stroma interactions and drug resistance, is still unknown. I…
BACKGROUND: Evidence from animal studies has indicated that neonatal thyroid function is vital for the reproductive development. Anogenital distance (AGD), a sensitive biomarker of the fetal hormonal milieu, can be used to predict adult rep…
Decidualization is a complex process involving cellular proliferation and differentiation of the endometrial stroma and is required to establish and support pregnancy. Dysregulated decidualization has been reported to be a critical cause of…
BACKGROUND: Infertility is a reproductive disorder caused by multiple causes and is an adverse event of reproductive health for couples in the reproductive period. Women who do not avoid sex for at least 12 months and are not pregnant are s…
BACKGROUD: This study's objectives were to compare the clinical, perinatal, and obstetrical outcomes of patients with different estradiol (E2) levels in fresh single-blastocyst-transfer (SBT) cycles under an early follicular phase prolonged…
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the ADNEX model for ovarian cancer at the 15% cut-off value. METHODS: Studies on the identified diagnosis of the ADNEX model for ovarian cancer published in PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Li…
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to apply proteomic methodology for the analysis of proteome changes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). MATERIAL AND METHODS: All the participators including 31 PCOS patients and 31 healthy…
Little is known about the difference in effectiveness of lifestyle intervention between women with PCOS and non-PCOS women. In a post hoc longitudinal analysis of a randomized, controlled trial, we aimed to investigate whether infertile wom…
Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the health problems and has adverse effects on public health. However, the consequences of male HBV carriers for assisted reproductive techniques (ART) remain unclear. Objective: To ex…
Communication between maternal uterus and blastocyst occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, and the interaction influences the success of embryo implantation. Whereas small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) play an essential role in mediating…
OBJECTIVE: It has been increasingly appreciated that G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1) mediates both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory response of estrogen. It is also involved in some rapid vascular effects of aldosterone i…
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…
BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disease among women, but its etiology remains unknown. In recent years, many circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been confirmed to be related to the development of PCOS. Th…
Endometriosis (EM) is a disease that involves active endometrial cell invasion and migration which is an important reason for infertility. Anoikis resistance is the most important prerequisite for EM, but the molecular mechanism is not yet …
AIM: Androgens have been reported to be associated with female fertility. The mean serum testosterone concentration in the patients with endometriosis was reported to be significantly lower than that without endometriosis. Our study was des…
MicroRNA (miR)-874-3p is a newly identified miRNA that is involved in several pathological processes, including cancer, myocardial infarction, bone formation and erectile dysfunction. However, the role of miR-874-3p in polycystic ovary synd…
Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in women. OC is associated with the activation of oncogenes, the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, and the activation of abnormal cell signaling pathways. Moreover, epigen…
Ovarian sensitivity could affect the outcome of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between the ovarian sensitivity index (OSI) and traditional ovarian response ma…
To investigate the predictive efficacy of the preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for natural pregnancy outcome after laparoscopic cystectomy in infertile patients with ovarian endometrioma (OMA). Current evidence suggests that e…
AIM: To share our experiences of resuming the treatments for gynecologic patients after lifting the lockdown in a hotspot area for the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. METHODS: The triage process used to resume medical activit…
AIM: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of serum cancer antigen 125 (CA125) levels before hormone replacement therapy on pregnancy outcomes in women with adenomyosis undergoing frozen embryo transfer. METHODS: …
