Clinical application of mesenchymal stem cells for endometrial repair has been hampered by variability in cell quality, large-scale production, and uncertainty regarding the optimal delivery route. In this study, we investigated the therape…

Luminogens with aggregation-induced emission (AIEgens) have attracted increasing attention for biomedical applications, prompting concerns regarding their potential toxicity. Although some studies have reported the in vivo toxicity of AIEge…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis increases ovarian cancer (OC) risk through genetic mutations, chronic inflammation, and hormonal dysregulation, yet the underlying molecular pathways remain underexplored. This study aims to identify endometriosis-a…

Fertility in women decreases with age, but the molecular basis for age-related, unexplained infertility remains elusive. Here, we reveal distinct transcriptome changes in oocytes and surrounding cumulus cells from women in their mid-thirtie…

Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is characterized by a decrease in the quantity and quality of oocytes, leading to reduced chances of natural conception and a poorer response to fertility treatments. Along with these reproductive challenges…

BackgroundEvidence indicates that the risk of developing a secondary ovarian cancer (OC) is correlated with estrogen receptor (ER) status. However, the clinical significance of the relationship between ER-associated breast cancer (BC) and c…

BackgroundReliable predictive models for predicting excessive and poor ovarian response in controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) is currently lacking. The dynamic (Δ) inhibin B, which refers to increment of inhibin B responding to exogenous …

BACKGROUND: In vitro fertilization-conceived babies, even singletons, are at a higher risk of poor birth outcomes such as low birthweight and preterm birth than naturally conceived counterparts. It remains unclear as to what extent these ad…

Objective: To establish a predictive model distinguishing focal mass-forming pancreatitis (FMFP) from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) based on computed tomography (CT) radiomics and clinical data. Methods: A total of 78 FMFP patient…

Endometriosis is one of the most common benign gynecological disorders in reproductive-aged women. The major symptoms are chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Despite its profound impact on women's health and quality of life, its pathogenes…

BackgroundPredicting the number of oocytes retrieved (NOR) following controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) is the only way to ensure effective and safe treatment in assisted reproductive technology (ART). To date, there have been limited stu…

Background: The potential correlation between progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) and the risk of compromised embryo competence still lacks sound evidence. Methods: A large retrospective cohort study was used to compare the incidenc…

PurposeTo establish a mathematical model for assessing the true ovarian reserve based on the predicted probability of poor ovarian response (POR).MethodsIn this retrospective cohort study, a total of 1523 GnRH-antagonist cycles in 2017 were…

BackgroundTo investigate the dynamic change of lipid profile under double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) in severe hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (sHTGP) patients and ascertain the association between these changes and th…

BackgroundEctopic pregnancy (EP) is a serious complication of assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, there is no acknowledged mathematical model for predicting EP in the ART population.ObjectiveThe goal of the research was to esta…

AimsThe study is aimed at studying the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and exploring the potential predictor for AKI in patients with acute pancreatitis.MethodsA retrospective study adopting a stratified cohort sampling design was pe…

In endometriosis, stromal and epithelial cells from the endometrium form extrauterine lesions and persist in response to estrogen (E2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Stromal cells produce excessive quantities of estrogen and PGE2 in a feed-fo…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis affects fertility negatively. The study aims to evaluate whether laparoscopic surgery combined with oral contraceptive or herbs were more effective than laparoscopic alone in improving fecundity and pelvic pain in …
