IntroductionDiminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is known to reduce the likelihood of achieving pregnancy or live births in women undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Acupuncture maybe effective for DOR, but current e…

BackgroundAfter early pregnancy loss (EPL), couples often seek counselling on how long to wait before attempting to conceive again. However, the optimal interpregnancy interval (IPI) between EPL and the next pregnancy is controversial. Addi…

IntroductionEmbryonic stem cells (ESCs), capable of generating all adult cell types, hold transformative potential for agriculture and biomedicine. However, stable sheep ESCs derivation remains challenging, limiting their application in fur…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the feasibility of quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) and R2* mapping in assessing iron deposition in endometriotic ovarian cysts (EMO) and their potential implications for ovarian reserve. MATERIALS AND METH…

IntroductionPCOS is the most common disorder encompassing reproductive, metabolic, and endocrine abnormalities, and has an increased risk of adverse pregnancy and neonatal complications, such as miscarriage, gestational diabetes mellitus, a…

PURPOSE: Observational studies have indicated a potential link between adenomyosis/endometriosis and adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs), yet the potential relationship remains uncertain. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study investigates whether…

BackgroundPremature ovarian insufficiency (POI) significantly impairs female fertility and poses substantial health risks; however, its pathogenesis is incompletely understood, and effective therapeutic interventions are limited. Although g…

Background and objectiveIleal ureter replacement (IUR) is the definitive management approach for extensive ureteral strictures (UrSs). Patients with UrS exhibit poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We conducted a long-term, multi-in…

PurposeAcute pancreatitis is a common disease with limited supportive treatments. Finding effective biomarkers is of great significance for early diagnosis and therapy, as well as to achieve better prognosis.Materials and methodsThe core ge…

BackgroundCervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) exhibits profound spatial heterogeneity in evolutionary trajectories across distinct tumour foci, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.MethodsIn this study, we performed an…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Do iron metabolism and ferroptosis influence oocyte and embryo quality in patients with endometriosis undergoing IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), or in a mouse model? DESIGN: Fifty-seven patients with laparos…

The paradigm shift of lactate from a mere metabolic byproduct to a pleiotropic signaling molecule, coupled with the discovery of lactylation, provides a crucial framework for understanding how metabolic reprogramming drives systemic patholo…

Ovarian senescence is accompanied by inflammatory responses, yet the underlying mechanism remains incompletely elucidated. In this study, transcriptome sequencing was performed on ovarian granulosa cells from advanced-age patients and norma…

Phthalates (PAEs), typical endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that accumulate in the human body to induce reproductive toxicity, have epidemiological links to endometriosis (EM), but the underlying micro-mechanisms remain unclear. Ferrop…

The present study investigated the role of melatonin (MT) in regulating mitochondrial function via sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) in granulosa cells (GCs) from patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), with a focus on mitochondrial protection. Not…

PurposePreclinical evidence suggests that metformin may mitigate pelvic organ prolapse (POP) by altering the gene expression of human vaginal fibroblasts in a beneficial direction, but clinical validation is lacking. This study aimed to exp…

The hypothalamus plays a vital role in reproductive processes. Previous studies have identified hypothalamic miRNAs involved in mammalian reproduction, but the miRNA profiles induced by photoperiod changes remain unclear. In this study, we …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between third-trimester antenatal depression (AND) and the number of pregnancies, considering the possible moderating role of dysmenorrhea. METHODS: A total of 1,178 pregnant women in their third t…

Endometrial polyps (EPs) are common uterine lesions associated with abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility, yet their pathogenesis remains poorly defined. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of normal endometrium, para-polyp, a…

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a prevalent complication in individuals with diabetes. Efferocytosis plays a pivotal role in chronic diseases; however, the precise mechanisms involved in DKD are still not fully understood. DKD-related data…

BackgroundHydrosalpinx affects 10-30% of infertile women, creating a hostile tubal microenvironment that impairs embryonic development. Although fluid embryotoxicity is recognised, specific toxic metabolites and their molecular mechanisms r…

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a leading cause of anovulatory infertility. Despite a high antral follicle count, advanced-age PCOS patients experience a marked decline in cumulative live birth rates (CLBR) after assisted repr…
