PURPOSE: To compare the effects of the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist protocol, GnRH antagonist protocol, progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol, and mild stimulation/natural cycle protocol on the cumulative li…

PurposeARID1A, encoding a component of the switch/sucrose nonfermentable complex, is frequently mutated in urothelial carcinoma. However, its specific impacts on clinical outcomes and CD8+ T-cell functions in urothelial carcinoma remain poo…

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether the inflammatory proteomics of uterine fluid is feasible in defining the endometrial receptivity phase. METHODS: Inflammatory proteomics of uterine fluid was measured using the OLINK Target-96 Inflammation panel…

BACKGROUD: Ovarian aging can lead to early menopause, infertility, and even premature senility in female patients, seriously impairing the quality of life. Unfortunatly, it is still lack of effective protection strategies against ovarian ag…

Natural products, recognized for their potential in disease prevention and treatment, have been integrated with advanced nano-delivery systems to create natural product-based nanomedicines, offering innovative approaches for various disease…

Aquaporin-2 (AQP2) is a critical protein involved in water metabolism. It is primarily located in the renal collecting duct cells' apical plasma membranes and intracellular vesicles and regulates the movement of water into and out of cells.…

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between endometrial thickness (EMT) on human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) day in the progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol and pregnancy outcomes in the subse…

Understanding human endometrial dynamics in the establishment of endometrial receptivity remains a challenge, which limits early diagnosis and treatment of endometrial-factor infertility. Here, we decode the endometrial dynamics of fertile …

Adenomyosis (ADS) is a common gynecological disorder, and its pathogenesis remains unclear. This study explores the functions of circRNAs in the eutopic endometrium of ADS and their diagnostic efficacy for ADS. High-throughput RNA sequencin…

BackgroundTo evaluate the risk factors associated with WOI (window of implantation) displacement based on ERT (endometrial receptivity test), and to confirm the association of ectopic pregnancy with WOI displacement.MethodsThis is a retrosp…

Fetal membrane providing mechanical support and immune protection for the growing fetus until it ruptures during parturition. The abnormalities of fetal membrane (thickening, separation, etc.) are related to adverse perinatal outcomes such …

Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) levels are associated with glycemic control, insulin resistance, and chronic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Women generally show higher CA19-9 levels despite a greater T2D prevalence…

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is known to be associated with chronic low-grade inflammation and endometrial dysfunction. Chronic endometritis (CE) is a type of local inflammation that can contribute to endometrial dysfunction i…

INTRODUCTION: The endometrial microbiota plays an essential role in the health of the female reproductive system. However, the interactions between the microbes in the endometrium and their effects on adenomyosis remain obscure. MATERIALS …

In the past decade, research on ultrasound therapy in obstetrics and gynecology has rapidly developed. Currently, high-intensity ultrasound has been widely used in clinical practice, while low-intensity ultrasound has gradually emerged as a…

BACKGROUND: Hysteroscopic metroplasty of the uterine septum has been the standard treatment strategy to improve reproductive outcomes, but there are still controversies about the appropriateness of metroplasty. In addition, there have been …

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) causes menstrual disturbance and infertility. There is no effective treatment available for moderate to severe IUA cases. Stem cell-based therapy has been investigated for treating IUA but is limited in clinical …

Hysterosalpingography is widely performed in assisted reproductive technology. We present a rare case of contrast medium retention which was incidentally found and mimicked a retained surgical instrument. A medical history of treatment for …

BackgroundPrecise prediction of drug combination targeting tumor cells effectively is a crucial challenge for tumor therapy, especially for endometrial cancer (EC). Considering the resistance, crosstalk that occurs between the receptor tyro…

BackgroundIn a previous study, we reported that amnion promotes endometrial cell growth by regulating cytokines. In this study, hierarchical cluster analysis enabled the evaluation of cytokine expression changes after amnion treatment to be…

Endometriosis is an inflammatory and estrogen-dependent gynecological disease associated with exposure to environmental endocrine disruptors. n-Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), a ubiquitous plasticizer, has weak estrogenic activity, and exposu…

The objective of this research is to study the effects of TGF-β1 inhibition on endometrial receptivity and pregnancy outcomes in mice with adenomyosis. Experiments were done using a mouse model of adenomyosis which took place in a hospital-…

Adenomyosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma in the myometrium. The mechanisms associated with the pathogenesis of adenomyosis remain unclear. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is characterized by losing cel…

BackgroundAdequate thickness of the endometrium has been well recognized as a critical factor for embryo implantation. This was a prospective cohort study to investigate the benefits of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for women with thin endomet…
