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…

BACKGROUND: In vitro maturation (IVM) presents a potential alternative to conventional IVF for special subgroups of infertile couples. Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is widely regarded as the most robust biomarker for assessing ovarian reserv…

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…

BackgroundZona pellucida (ZP) plays an important role in oocyte development and fertilisation, as well as in early embryo development. However, there is currently no exploration of systematic categorising and clinical treatment measures for…

PurposeThere is a consistent relationship with greater ovulation frequency and increased risk of ovarian cancer. However, prior research on infertility, which may be associated with ovulation frequency through multiple mechanisms, and ovari…

BackgroundChronic endometritis (CE) has been widely recognized as a potential cause of infertility, however, access to effective treatment is a formidable challenge due to the rudimentary understanding of the pathogenesis of persistent CE. …

BackgroundThin endometrium (TE) has been widely recognized as a critical cause of various obstetric and gynecological conditions. Although the role of stem cells in endometrial functions and their pathologies has been suggested, the identit…

Research questionIs it possible to predict blastocyst quality, embryo chromosomal ploidy, and clinical pregnancy outcome after single embryo transfer from embryo developmental morphokinetic parameters?DesignThe morphokinetic parameters of 1…

Hysterectomy is associated with an increased risk for adverse health outcomes. However, its connection to the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) remains unclear. The aims of our study were to investigate the associations between hysterect…

PurposeAlthough infertility (i.e., failure to conceive after ≥ 12 months of trying) is strongly correlated with established breast cancer risk factors (e.g., nulliparity, number of pregnancies, and age at first pregnancy), its association w…

IntroductionMenstrual blood-derived stem cells (MenSCs) are vital in treating many degenerative and traumatic disorders. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain obscure in MenSCs-treating spinal cord injury (SCI) rats.MethodsMen…

BackgroundProspective associations between total and groups of ultra-processed foods (UPF) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) remained to be characterised. Our aim was to assess the association of total and group-specific UPF intakes with CVD…

Endometriosis is a common disease of the female reproductive system and has malignant features. Although endometriosis by itself is a benign disease, its erosive growth characteristics lead to severe pelvic pain and female infertility. Unfo…

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of BMI in male and/or female partners on embryo development and clinical pregnancy outcome during ART.MethodsData of 11,130 cycles between January 2018 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. They…

In humans, the maternal endometrium participates in the physical and physiological interaction with the blastocyst to begin implantation. A bidirectional crosstalk is critical for normal implantation and then a successful pregnancy. While s…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease among women in their reproductive years. Although much effort has been made, the pathogenesis of this disease and the detailed differences between eutopic endometrial cells and ect…

It is well known that the transfer of embryos at the blastocyst stage is superior to the transfer of embryos at the cleavage stage in many respects. However, the rate of blastocyst formation remains low in clinical practice. To reduce the p…

PurposeMenopausal hormone therapy (MHT) use induces alterations in circulating estrogens/estrogen metabolites, which may contribute to the altered risk of reproductive tract cancers among current users. Thus, the current study assessed asso…

Evidence suggests European American (EA) women have two- to five-fold increased odds of having pelvic organ prolapse (POP) when compared with African American (AA) women. However, the role of genetic ancestry in relation to POP risk is not …

Body fat distribution is a heritable trait and a well-established predictor of adverse metabolic outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of body fat distribution and its molecular links…

ObjectiveMost studies suggest that hysterectomies are more common in African American women than in other ethnic groups. To assess this ethnic surgical disparity in a novel way, our main goal was to determine whether admixture (the proporti…
