Primary infertility affects 15% of couples worldwide, yet many genetic causes remain unknown. Through whole-exome sequencing of a woman with primary infertility and repeated embryo implantation failure, we identified a novel homozygous fram…
BACKGROUND: Abnormal angiogenesis plays vital role in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis (AM). Emerging evidence suggests that exosomes derived from endometrial cells can accelerate the progression of AM. In this study, we aim to investigate t…
Abstract Ferroptosis is linked to various diseases, but the role of transferrin (TF) in endometriosis (EM) remains unclear. Expression levels of ferroptosis-related proteins, including transferrin (TF), transferrin receptor (TFRC), and glut…
Abstract Endometriosis (EMS) refers to the appearance, growth and infiltration of endometrial tissues (glands and stroma) in the uterine cavity covering the endometrium and other parts of the uterus, repeated bleeding, Rare pelvic and intr…
PurposeSince the unexplained in vitro fertilization failure occurs frequently, it is of great importance and clinical value to identify potential underlying predictors. This study aimed to explore whether the percentage of sperm with a smal…
Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on immune, endothelial, and epithelial cells. Its ectodomain can be proteolytically cleaved to release a circulating soluble form called sICAM-1. Clinical …
Objective: This study aimed to explore the prevalence and associated factors of medication adherence among infertile women undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycle. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 556 inferti…
BackgroundIt is the duty of doctors to choose a safe, simple, economic and effective controlled ovulation stimulation (COS) protocol for the patients. This study aims to compare the clinical effects of the early follicular prolonged GnRH ag…
KiSS-1, first identified as an anti-metastasis gene in melanoma, encodes C-terminally amidated peptide products, including kisspeptin-145, kisspeptin-54, kisspeptin-14, kisspeptin-13 and kisspeptin-10. These products are endogenous ligands …
BackgroundThis study aimed to investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics, and the recurrence and prognostic factors of borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs).MethodsThe data of 286 patients admitted to hospital and followed up for …
A receptive endometrium is a prerequisite for successful embryo implantation, and about one-third of repeated embryo implantation failure attribute to defective endometrial receptivity. Integrin-linked kinase (ILK), a 59kDa serine/threonine…
Objective To explore stable and functional microRNA (miRNA)-disease relationships using a genome-wide expression profile pattern matching strategy. Methods We applied the ranked microarray pattern matching strategy Gene Set Enrichment Analy…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the ability to conceive and the factors affecting chances of pregnancy among patients with borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) treated with fertility-sparing surgery. METHODS: A retrospective study included nulliparou…
