Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) affect the biological functions of granulosa cells (GCs) through multiple mechanisms, including epigenetic regulation, transcriptional regulation, post-translational modification, and cell signaling. Our previ…
BACKGROUND: Infertility is a reproductive health problem that attracts worldwide attention. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a major cause of female infertility and patients with obesity and PCOS are particularly common in clinical pract…
Ovarian cancer (OC) represents a significant health challenge, characterized by a particularly unfavorable prognosis for affected women. Accumulating evidence supports the notion that inflammation-related factors impacting the normal ovaria…
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in hormone replacement regimen for frozen-thawed embryos. We performed a retrospective cohort study and included patients who underwent frozen embryo t…
BACKGROUND: Infertility is a global reproductive-health problem, and diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is one of the common causes of female infertility. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial regulators of numerous physiological and path…
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the incidence of functional ovarian cysts, its influence on clinical rates, and proper management after depot gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist pretreatment in artificial frozen-thawed embryo transfer …
BACKGROUND: Despite a large number of studies on the selection of trigger drugs, it remains unclear whether the dual trigger with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist, compared to the trigger …
OBJECTIVE: Endometrial thickness is a prognostic factor for successful pregnancy. This meta-analysis aimed to examine the role of sildenafil citrate on infertile women with a thin endometrium. METHODS: Two investigators independently searc…
Endometrial cells and microenvironment are two important factors in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis. Our previous study demonstrated that macrophages can induce eutopic epithelial cells of adenomyosis to suffer from epithelial-mesenchymal t…
AIMS: Estrogens are known to exert a wide spectrum of actions on brain functions including modulation of pain. Besides the circulating estrogens produced mainly by the ovaries, many brain regions are also capable of de novo synthesizing est…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the value of human epididymis secretory protein 4 (HE4) and CA(125) in the diagnosis of ovarian malignancy. METHODS: HE4 and CA(125) in the serum specimens of malignant ovarian tumor group (30 cases), benign ovarian …
Objective:To investigate the relation of nitric oxide(NO) and the pathogenesis of early endometriosis-associated infertility.Methods:The concentration of NO in peritoneal fluid and serum of 37 patients with early endometriosis-associated in…
