Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease with high recurrence rates after surgery and the lesions keep unlimited proliferative capacity. The effect of garcinol on cell proliferation has not been investigated in endometriosis. Herein,…

ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of three endometrial preparation protocols-hormone replacement therapy (HRT), natural cycle (NC), and down-regulation HRT-on pregnancy outcomes in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles among patients with a …

Novel brominated flame retardants (NBFRs), including 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)ethane (BTBPE), are emerging endocrine-disrupting chemicals, though their direct effects on female gamete maturation remain insufficiently characterized. In …

This study aims to explore the impact of insulin resistance and metabolic abnormalities on metabolic changes, inflammatory responses, and pregnancy complications during in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)…

At present, there is unclear on the risk factors of recurrence after myomectomy. In this study, we hope to provide reference for the choice of treatment for patients with uterine fibroids and provide basis for the subsequent prediction of r…

Endometriosis (EMS) is a benign gynecological disease characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Evidence shows that the survival of patients with ectopic endometrial implants is associated with a dysregul…

Endometrium plays a crucial role in embryonic growth and development. Endometrial-related diseases, such as endometritis, endometriosis, endometrial cancer, and intrauterine adhesions, hurt fertility and women's health. At present, these di…

ObjectiveThe objective was to analyze the impact of the uterine artery pulsatility index (PI) on pregnancy outcomes by measuring uterine artery blood flow on the day of endometrial transformation in patients undergoing frozen-thawed embryo …

ObjectiveTo compare the neonatal outcomes of progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) and flexible gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocols.MethodsThis was a retrospective propensity score-matched (PSM) cohort study. Wo…

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) of mild stimulation and conventional stimulation for the low-prognosis population undergoing PPOS protocols.MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort stud…

ObjectiveTo assess the diagnostic value of the Copenhagen index for ovarian malignancy.MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Embase, CBM, CNKI, and WanFang databases were searched throughout June 2021. Statistical analyses we…

Abstract Objective: The aims of this study were to study the distribution of the serum VD levels among infertile people and to analyze the relationships between VD levels and the basic conditions of infertile patients, as well as laboratory…

ObjectiveThe present study analyzed the effect of hCG trigger day progesterone (P) levels on the live birth rate (LBR) in the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol.Materials and methodsThis study was a single-center retr…

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNA) metabolism-related genes play an important role in the development of cancers. We assessed the associations of genetic variants in genes involved in the metabol…

The oral microbiome, associated with both oral disease and systemic disease, is in dynamic status along the whole life, and many factors including maternal microbiomes could impact the oral microbiome. While fewer studies have been conducte…

ObjectiveTo compare the clinical outcomes of dydrogesterone (DYG) and medroxyprogesterone (MPA) in the progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol for patients with poor ovarian response (POR).Patients and methodsThis was a retrosp…

BackgroundThe use of frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles has dramatically risen. The optimal endometrial preparation method for women undergoing FET is of utmost importance to provide the optimal chances of pregnancy. For patients with abno…

ObjectiveTo compare the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) of the progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol with that of the flexible GnRH antagonist protocol in patients with poor prognosis diagnosed per the POSEIDON criteria.Met…

ObjectiveTo explore whether elevated anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels affect the rate of preterm birth (PTB) among PCOS patients with different BMIs.MethodsIn this retrospective cohort study, patients with PCOS who had undergone IVF/ICSI…

ObjectiveTo explore whether endometrial thickness (EMT) ≤7.5 mm is associated with singleton low birth weight (LBW) from single fresh blastocyst transfer.MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study. Only women ≤ 40 years old who underwent …

The underlying correlative mechanisms between Insulin resistance (IR) and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) in patients without polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) remain inconclusive. To investigate the association between triglyceride (TG) le…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease with manifestations of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is known to facilitate a series of biological events in many cells, including migration.…

STUDY QUESTION: What is the expression level of T-cadherin in endometriosis, and does T-cadherin play a role in regulating invasion and migration of endometrial stromal cells? SUMMARY ANSWER: T-cadherin expression was reduced in ectopic end…

BackgroundIn some in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles, we may consider transferring one poor-quality embryo with one good-quality embryo. Previous studies have indicated that the poor-quality embry…
