ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Recent studies indicate that endometrial hypoxia plays a critical role in adenomyosis (AM) development. Mitochondria are extremely sensitive to hypoxic damage, which can result in both morphological and functional impai…
BACKGROUND: Endometrial thickness (EMT) and blood flow are commonly used indicators of endometrial receptivity. However, the results of single ultrasound examination studies differ. Therefore, we used 3-dimensional (3D) ultrasound to study …
IMPORTANCE: There is a lack of information regarding the need to postpone conception after COVID-19 vaccination. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the time interval between the first dose of inactivated COVID-19 vaccine and in vitro fertilization …
Asymptomatic and perimenopausal women with cervical endometriosis can expect treatment; Patients with milder symptoms are usually managed conservatively with medications, and those with large lesions or significant clinical symptoms require…
Ovarian endometriosis is a common gynecological condition that can cause infertility in women of childbearing age. However, the pathogenesis is still unknown. We demonstrate that the carboxyl terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP) is …
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies. Although CRC treatment has been significantly improved, patient survival remains low because most patients already have advanced disease at diagnosis. Early screeni…
OBJECTIVE: The study retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics and prognosis of 17 cases of pregnancy complicated by borderline ovarian tumors to provide help for clinical workers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The clinicopathological…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of weight loss on pregnancy outcomes, PCOS related neuronal-reproductive-metabolic hormones and ovarian granulosa cell gene expression profiles in obese PCOS infertile patients undergoing in vitro fertil…
Exosomes in the follicular fluid can carry and transfer regulatory molecules to recipient cells, thus influencing their biological functions. However, the specific effects of yak follicular fluid exosomes on 2-hydroxyestrodiol (2-OHE2) secr…
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to explore the incidence and influencing factors for early pregnancy loss (EPL) in infertility patients with first pregnancy undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) embryo transfer cycles in Jilin province, Chin…
Decidualization is a substantive differentiation process experienced by endometrium to prepare for pregnancy. During this process, the endometrial stromal cells are transformed to endometrial epithelial cells. The receptivity of endometrium…
OBJECTIVE: This work was designed to investigate the performance of the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) ADNEX (Assessment of Different NEoplasias in the adneXa) model combined with human epithelial protein 4 (HE4) for early ovar…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the pharmacological mechanism of a Chinese patent drug (Kunling Pill (KLP)) on improving diminished ovarian reserve based on proteomic analysis. METHODS: A total of 18 patients divided into three groups (the normal ov…
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a disease characterized by an acute inflammatory phase followed by a convalescent phase. Diabetes mellitus (DM) was historically felt to be a transient phenomenon related to acute inflammation; however, it is incr…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most lethal gynecologic malignancies and a leading cause of death in the world. Thus, this necessitates identification of prognostic biomarkers which will be helpful in its treatment. METHODS: …
BACKGROUND: Luteinizing hormone (LH) is critical in follicle growth and oocyte maturation. However, the value of recombinant LH (r-LH) supplementation to recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (r-FSH) during controlled ovarian stimulation…
We report a case of giant hysteromyoma and complex pelvic adhesion treated by robotic assisted laparoscopic total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy. The patient was diagnosed with uterine fibroids after physical examination in 1998 b…
Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is characterized by the absence of implantation after high-grade embryos are transferred to the endometrium by at least three in vitro fertilization cycles. It is one of the most important factors contri…
Endometrial epithelial cells carry distinct cancer-associated alterations that may be more susceptible to endometriosis. Mouse models have shown that overexpression of SIRT1 associated with oncogene activation contributes to the pathogenesi…
PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was whether endometriosis influences IVF/ICSI and subsequent pregnancy and obstetric outcomes. METHODS: Searches were performed on PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, and Web of Science. Most of the included studies …
The main toxic component of endotoxins released from the death or dissolution of Gram-negative bacteria is lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which exists widely in the natural environment, and a large amount of endotoxin can significantly inhibit t…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis affects the outcomes of spontaneous fertility and assisted reproductive technology. The single blastocyst embryo transfer (SBT) policy is an effective strategy known to minimize the risk of multiple pregnancy for non…
SIRT1, a member of the sirtuin family, catalyzes the deacetylation of proteins with the transformation of NAD+ into nicotinamide and 2'-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose. Selective SIRT1/2 inhibitors have potential application in the chemotherapy of colo…
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…
Exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to be involved in the regulation of many disease progression, including proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). However, the roles of exosomal miR-4488 and miR-1273 g-5p in PVR progression have not…
