BACKGROUND: Trends toward earlier age at menarche, the starting point in women’s reproductive lifespan, have been observed globally. Whether an earlier age at menarche influences Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), a clinical indicator of ovarian…

BACKGROUND: Single-port robotic cholecystectomy offers minimally invasive benefits. This trial evaluated the feasibility and safety of a novel system, MicroPort SA-1000. METHODS: In this dual centre, single-arm, prospective study, eligible…

BACKGROUND: Nerve growth factor (NGF), which acts on receptors tropomyosin receptor kinase A and p75 neurotrophic receptor, is a member of neurotrophin family and a kind of secretory polypeptides. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search…

BACKGROUND: Environmental exposure to trace and heavy metals may influence female fertility, yet their impact on assisted reproductive outcomes remains poorly defined. Maternal diet can potentially modulate metal-related toxicity by influen…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is widely acknowledged as the prevailing reproductive endocrine disorder accompanied by numerous metabolic dysfunctions. However, there has been a lack of systematic examination regarding the ami…

BACKGROUND: Natural cycle in vitro fertilization (NC-IVF) represents a convenient and safe assisted reproductive technology, making it particularly advantageous for patients with poor ovarian response (POR). This research evaluates the effe…

BACKGROUND: As the first discovered member of the neurotrophin family, nerve growth factor (NGF) plays fundamental roles in peripheral sensory and sympathetic neuronal development and survival. Recent evidence reveals its tumour-promoting e…

Background: Concerns have been raised about the increasing prevalence of both spontaneous and induced abortions worldwide, yet their effect on premature mortality remains poorly understood. We aimed to examine the associations between abort…

BACKGROUND: According to the latest practice committee document, in vitro maturation (IVM) is a simple and safe procedure, especially in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Does switching from in vitro fertilization (IVF) to IVM…

The present study aimed to investigate the potential effect of fibronectin (FN) in adenomyosis progression. Small guide RNAs were designed to knock down FN expression in Ishikawa cells. The impact of FN on the proliferation, apoptosis, migr…

PURPOSE: Human follicular fluid (FF) is a complex biological fluid that contributes to the micro-environment of oocyte development. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of steroid and gonadotropic hormones levels and mitochondrial…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between the size of an excised endometrioma and the magnitude of damage to the ovary after the surgery. DESIGN: A retrospective, controlled study. SETTING: A university hospital. PATIENT(S): Eig…

background: Progesterone-withdrawal (WP)-induced endometrial breakdown occurs in both physiological and pathological processes such as menstruation and abortion. However, the underlying mechanisms are not clearly understood. As the nuclear …

Endometriosis, one of the most frequent diseases in gynecology, is a benign but invasive and metastatic disease. The altered expression of E-cadherin may play an important role in developing endometriosis. In this paper, we discuss the asso…

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) may contribute to the development of endometriosis. Genetic variations in several MMP promoters may influence the transcription and expression of MMPs. The purpose of the present study was to assess how gene…
