BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent benign inflammatory disorder characterized by the implantation of active endometrial tissue (glands or stroma) outside the uterus, with pelvic adhesions as a core hallmark. Omental endometr…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the safety and efficacy of percutaneous intrauterine hydrodissection as a protective technique during microwave ablation (MWA) of uterine fibroids adjacent to the endometrium. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective ana…

ObjectiveTo identify the determinants influencing clinical pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent FET at the Department of Reproductive Geneti…

We present an extremely rare heterotopic pregnancy (HP) in a 33-year-old patient with multiple adenomyosis surgeries and bilateral salpingectomy, who conceived via assisted reproductive technology (ART). According to a review of the literat…

This study aimed to explore potential risk factors for severe endometriosis and to develop a model to predict the risk of severe endometriosis. A total of 308 patients with endometriosis were analyzed. Least absolute shrinkage and selection…

Pterostilbene (PST) is a naturally derived stilbene compound in grapes, blueberries, and other fruits. It is also a natural dietary compound with a wide range of biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and s…

In this study, we analyzed the clinical efficacy of Zishen Yutai pills (ZSYTP) combined with metformin hydrochloride on infertile women diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (I…

Abstract Background Severe endometriosis significantly impacts the quality of life, particularly in women of reproductive age. Though numerous studies have conducted predictive models with preoperative clinical data for endometriosis, mos…

Focusing on the syndrome/pattern differentiation to determine treatment, the approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of acupuncture and moxibustion for adenomyosis are explored by identifying the etiology, location, nature and development…

BackgroundClinical value of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was investigated in this study.MethodsA retrospective analysis wa…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the outcome of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and postoperative pain characteristics and compare the pain severity after TLH for adenomyosis or uterine fibroids. METHODS: This prospective observational stud…

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 72-4 (CA72-4) are commonly used markers for colorectal cancer (CRC) in clinical applications. However, low positivity rate and sensitivity limits their clinical effectiveness. In this …

The underlying mechanism between the gut microbiota and reproductive function is not yet well-known. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of the administration of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from highly laying rate …

PurposeTo elucidate the characterization of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the follicular fluid-derived extracellular vesicles (FF-EVs) and discover critical molecules and signaling pathways associating with the etiology and pathobiology o…

ObjectivesTo 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 cy…

A growing number of studies have demonstrated that N6 methyladenine (m6A) acts as an important role in the pathogenesis of reproductive diseases. Therefore, it is essential to profile the genome-wide m6A modifications such as in spontaneous…

BackgroundCircadian rhythm disruption impacts a wide range of physiological processes, including fertility. However, the effect of circadian disruption on male spermatogenesis and fertility, and treatments for these effects have been largel…

Studies have shown that aberrant expression of IL-12p40, which is encoded by the interleukin-12B (IL-12B) gene, may be involved in the development of endometriosis. In this study, we investigated the role of aberrant methylation of the IL-1…

Endometriosis is a complex and challenging disease that involves aberrant adhesion, growth, and progression of endometrial tissues outside of the uterine cavity, and there is evidence to suggest that estrogen plays a key role in its develop…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone agonist (LHRH-A) in the treatment of endometriosis (Em), uterine leiomyoma and adenomyosis, and its impact on bone metabolism. METHODS: Twenty patients, Em 13 (st…
