OBJECTIVE: The pregnancy patterns and other factors of live birth for patients with intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) were identified by analyzing the clinical features of pre-, intra-, and post-hysteroscopic adhesiolysis (HA). DESIGN: A total…
INTRODUCTION: Infertility is a common complication of endometriosis. While in vitro fertilisation-embryo transfer (IVF) successfully treats endometriosis-associated infertility, there is some evidence that pregnancy rates may be diminished …
INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to explore the association between disordered vaginal microbiota and missed abortion to ascertain potential causes of missed abortion related to vaginal microbiology. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This…
Objectives : A large meta-analysis indicated a more pronounced association between lower birth weight (BW) and diseases in women but less concern about the causality between BW and female-related phenotypes and diseases. Methods: Mendelian …
Endometriosis is a common chronic disease of women characterized by ectopic localization of the endometrial tissue in the peritoneal cavity. The pathogenesis of endometriosis closely resembles that of gynecological cancers in ways of menstr…
OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of aging on ovarian circadian rhythm. DESIGN: Human and animal study. SETTING: University hospital and research laboratory. PATIENTS/ANIMALS: Human granulosa cells were obtained by follicular aspiration fro…
BACKGROUND: There has been increasing interest in the relationship between body mass index(BMI) and pregnancy outcomes, especially in women undergoing frozen embryo transfer(FET). Several observational studies have been published, but so fa…
An observational cross-sectional study was conducted in a group (n = 371) of fertile age women with endometriosis, by administering a structured questionnaire, in order to evaluate the incidence of gynecological and systemic comorbidities a…
Novel biomarkers are needed to accelerate the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis. We performed RNA sequencing to explore the expression profiles of exosomal circular RNAs (circRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs) and mRNAs in patients with ovari…
BACKGROUND: Synchronization of follicles is key to improving ovulation stimulation with the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol. GnRH antagonist administration in the early follicular phase can quickly decrease gonadot…
BACKGROUND: Interleukin-1 receptor type II (IL-1R2), also known as CD121b, is a member of the IL-1 receptor family. IL-1R2 acts as negative regulator of the IL-1 system, modulating IL-1 availability for the signaling receptor. IL-1R2 is abn…
OBJECTIVE: To conduct a preliminary investigation that shows the possible correlation between the change of gut microbiota and missed abortions (MAs), which further provides a new potential insight for the prevention and therapy of MAs. ME…
Abstract Purpose: Adulthood and childhood obesity are associated with female reproductive endocrinology and gynecological cancers. However, the causality of such association is yet to be identified. Independent of inverse bias and confound…
OBJECTIVES: Pregnancy complicated with ovarian endometrioma is a risk factor for preterm delivery and rupture or infection during pregnancy. This study aimed to clarify the effectiveness and safety of transvaginal aspiration during pregnanc…
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate whether the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) and platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are associated with ovarian malignancy and their diagnostic value. Design: This retrospective study compared SIRI, P…
Aim: Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is the most common urogenital acquired fistula, and has remained a scourge and of public health importance. VVF can be repaired by transvaginal approach, transabdominal approach or transvesical approach, but…
Aim: To investigate exosomal RNAs (long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs)) profiling and their related networks in endometriosis (EMs). Materials & methods: RNA sequence was performed in exosomes from o…
OBJECTIVE: Menopause at a young age is associated with many health problems in women, including osteoporosis, depressive symptoms, coronary disease, and stroke. Many traditional observational studies have reported some potential risk factor…
BackgroundManagement of intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) is challenging, mainly because there is no ideal method to prevent its recurrence. Recurrence of moderate to severe IUAs after conventional treatments entails a poorer prognosis in these…
OBJECTIVE: Emerging evidence from observational studies (cohort and case-control studies) suggests that a history of diabetes mellitus (DM) has been linked to increased risk of ovarian cancer (OC), but the association between them remains i…
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory gynecological disease. Increased estrogen activity and progesterone resistance are the main hormonal substrate of this disease and are associated with inflammatory response and debilitatin…
BACKGROUND: MiRNAs play important roles in the development of ovarian cancer, activation of primitive follicles, follicular development, oocyte maturation and ovulation. In the present study, we investigated the specific role of miR-23a in …
BACKGROUND: Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is one of the most important causes of female infertility, while iatrogenic endometrial injury is the main, but not the entire, cause of IUA. The microorganisms of the female reproductive tract play a…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a non-malignant gynecological disease, whose pathogenesis remains to be clarified. Recent studies have found that hypoxia induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) as well as epigenetic modification …
The underlying pathogenic mechanisms of cardiomyopathy in Chagas disease are still unsolved. In order to better clarify the role of fat on the evolution of cardiomyopathy, the present study employed three murine models of chronic Trypanosom…
