BACKGROUND: Follicular fluid extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as critical mediators of intercellular communication during oocyte development. This study investigates the role of small non-coding RNAs (SncRNAs) within porcine follic…
Background Laparoscopic ethanol sclerotherapy is a fertility-preserving alternative for ovarian endometriomas, but the appropriate ethanol exposure duration remains uncertain. We compared expectant management with 5- and 15-minute ethanol r…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic versus transvaginal ethanol sclerotherapy in patients with ovarian endometriomas (OEMs). DESIGN: Preliminary retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Reproductive Medicine Re…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of a 3-stage treatment strategy featured by cold-knife adenomyomectomy, enhanced endometrial protection and postoperative uterine monitoring for severe diffuse adenomyosis on IVF/ICSI and perinatal o…
Abstract Adenomyosis is a prevalent and non-cancerous uterine disease which can significantly impaired the fertility of reproductive-age women. However, the etiology, as well as the cellular and molecular mechanism underlying adenomyosis re…
INTRODUCTION: Adenomyosis is a prevalent gynaecological disorder affecting women of reproductive age, yet the underlying etiology and cellular-molecular mechanisms driving its pathogenesis remain poorly understood. Gonadotropin-releasing ho…
Female fecundity declines in a nonlinear manner with age during the reproductive years, even as ovulatory cycles continue, which reduces female fertility, disrupts metabolic homeostasis, and eventually induces various chronic diseases. Desp…
BACKGROUND: Polycystic 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…
Cesarean section scar diverticulum (CSD) has become a formidable obstacle preventing women receiving CS from reproducing. However, the pathogenesis of CSD remains unexplored. In this study, we characterized the cervical microbiota, metabolo…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis negatively affects fertility, and it is a common disease in assisted reproductive practice. Surgical removal of endometriotic lesions is widely carried out to relieve symptoms and promote fertility. But it is not i…
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…
It has been previously reported that the long non-coding RNA nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) can regulate cell apoptosis. The present study aimed to investigate the involvement of NEAT1 in premature ovarian failure (POF). A t…
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The identification of new compound candidates for endometriosis treatment is needed. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is considered a crucial target to control the progress and recurrence of endometriosis. Here, we identified ursol…
