Recent evidence indicates that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play crucial regulatory roles in the pathogenesis and development of endometriosis. Circ_0004712 was found to be differentially expressed in endometriosis. However, the detailed functi…

Background: Endometriosis (EMT) is the most common benign gynecological disease among women of reproductive age, causing infertility and seriously affects women’s physical and mental health. However, the current treatment was not always eff…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common reasons for infertility. The consensus of the treatment of infertile women with PCOS is ovulation induction (OI) for six to nine attempts before in vitro fertilization (…

RATIONALE: Multicystic Mesothelioma (MM) is very rare and preoperative diagnosis is difficult. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report a case of a 34-year-old man with solid abdominal cystic echo mass. Physical examination showed that the patient had …

BACKGROUND: To determine whether the embryo developmental stage affects biochemical or clinical pregnancy loss in young women undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) and to investigate the underlying mechanism. METHODS: This was a r…

Abstract Background: Endometriosis (EMT) is the most common benign gynecological disease among women of reproductive age, causing infertility and seriously affects women's physical and mental health. However, the current treatment was not a…

BACKGROUND: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a major limitation of assisted reproductive technology, which is associated with impaired endometrial receptivity. Although N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been demonstrated to be involved in…

BACKGROUND: Poor ovarian response (POR), a manifestation of low ovarian reserve and ovarian aging, leads to a significant reduction in the pregnancy rate after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer. Acupuncture has increasingly been used t…

Sperm preparation in IVF cycles using density gradient centrifugation (DGC) in combination with swim-up (SU) has been widely adopted in reproductive centres worldwide. It is a fact that the sperm recovery rate following one DGC from poor se…

The endogenous fluorophores such as reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate) (NAD(P)H) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) in cells and tissues can be imaged by fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) to show the tiss…

Adenomyosis is a common chronic gynecological disorder with some tumor-like properties, including aberrant proliferation, invasion and migration. Berberine (BBR) is an isoquinoline derivative alkaloid with diverse pharmacological activities…

CA125 amounts have a large overlap in ovarian cancer and benign diseases. We conducted a retrospective cohort trial to assess the clinical value of circulating cell-free DNA concentration and integrity index for the diagnosis of ovarian can…

Adenomyosis is a common benign disease of women of childbearing age. The typical clinical features are prolonged menstruation, menorrhagia and ingravescent dysmenorrhea. In the present study, the severity of dysmenorrhea was assessed using …

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have recently been shown to exert effects on multiple pathological processes by acting as miRNA sponges. However, the roles of circRNAs in ovarian senescence are largely unknown. The objective of this study was to i…

A previous study by our group has demonstrated that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces adenomyosis through stimulating inflammatory cell proliferation and invasive growth of stromal cells via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling. The present…

To explore the value of serum levels of CA125, platelet count (PLT), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and modified CA125 markers CA125a and CA125b in predicting pelvic dense adhesion (PDA) associated with adenomyosis, CA125a = lg(CA125 × …

The objective of the present study was to investigate differences in the expression of apoptosis-related factors in the eutopic and ectopic endometrium (EuE/EE) in women with adenomyosis before and after laparoscopic bilateral uterine arter…

In this study, we investigated the expression profiles of Toll-like receptors(TLRs) in eutopic endometrium(EU) and ectopic endometrium(EC) and its implication in the inflammatory pathogenesis of adenomyosis. Thirty adenomyosis patients who …

In order to evaluate the impact of assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedure and individual factors on the sex ratio of singletons and twins at birth after in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) tre…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate safety, feasibility, and long-term clinical effects of adding laparoscopic pelvic plexus ablation to uterine-sparing procedures (uterine artery occlusion and partial adenomyomectomy) for adenomyosis. DESIGN: A …

The present study tested whether the LPS/TLR4 signal pathway in endometrial stromal cells is essential for the pathogenesis of adenomyosis. We tested the expression of TLR4, MD2 in the endometrium without adenomyosis (CE), the eutopic endom…

As a noninvasive treatment technique, ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been considered as a routine treatment for uterine fibroids and adenomyosis in China. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has been proposed…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety and sexual life quality outcomes of ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablations for the treatment of patients with symptomatic adenomyosis and ut…

Uterine fibroids (UF) are the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive tract. The aim of this study was to explore the role of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced activation of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway on stromal fibroblasts in …
