Retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy is an extremely rare form of ectopic pregnancy that can be life-threatening due to severe intra-abdominal hemorrhage. Retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy is frequently misdiagnosed because of its atypical loc…
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…
OBJECTIVE: In order to examine the impact of belimumab on recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) women exhibiting B lymphocyte dysfunction. METHODS: This study conducted a retrospective case-control analysis of RSA patients with confirmed B …
The hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS) family participates in key physiological processes such as follicular development, oocyte maturation, ovulation, and embryo implantation by regulating the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, and plays an importa…
INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying cervical precancerous lesions by employing bioinformatic approaches to identify key genes and signaling pathways. METHODS: A comprehensive strategy was adopted…
Endometriosis is a chronic condition with limited therapeutic options. The molecular aberrations promoting ectopic attachment and interactions with the local microenvironment sustaining lesion growth have been unclear, prohibiting developme…
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is characterized by irreversible fibrotic destruction and impaired pancreatic function. CP disrupts lipid metabolism and causes the imbalance of gut microbiota which in turn exacerbates pancreatic fibrosis. Statins…
Endometriosis is characterized by aberrant epigenetic regulation, and our study reveals that both Ubiquitin Specific Protease 7 (USP7) and DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) are significantly overexpressed in endometriosis tissues. Functional …
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effect of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) intrauterine perfusion on the clinical outcomes of frozen-thawed embryo transfer in patients with chronic endometritis. METHODS: A retrospective continuous cohort of…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether vaginal and endometrial microbiota impact pregnancy outcomes in frozen embryo transfers (FET) during hormone replacement cycles. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study analyzed 51 first-time FET patients…
PURPOSE: To evaluate the value of mtDNA copy number measurement in spent culture medium of blastocysts for predicting the chance of implantation following single blastocyst transfer (SBT). METHODS: Copy numbers of mtDNA and genomic DNA (gD…
Objectives: To investigate the diagnostic performance of texture analysis using multi-parameter MRI in distinguishing between benign and malignant lesions with ovarian-adnexal magnetic resonance imaging report and data system (O-RADS MRI) s…
Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by chronic inflammatory responses and frequently associated with clinical infertility. Recent studies have demonstrated that the pathogenesis of this disease …
BACKGROUND: E2 is important in follicular development. During monitoring of stimulated cycles, serum levels of E2 are expected to increase steadily with follicle growth until final maturation. Unexpected E2 decline before triggering is repo…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer (OC) is a gynecological malignancy tumor with high recurrence and mortality rates. Programmed cell death (PCD) is an essential regulator in cancer metabolism, whose functions are still unknown in OC. Therefore, it…
PurposeThis study aimed to develop a predictive model for assessing clinical pregnancy probabilities in patients undergoing frozen-thawed cycles with single Day 6 blastocyst transfers.MethodsWe conducted a two-center retrospective cohort st…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the interaction between atosiban and growth hormone (GH) as adjuvants in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. METHOD: A total of 11627 patients who underwent FET at Xiamen University Affiliated Chenggong Ho…
BACKGROUND: Low-dose aspirin is one of the widely used adjuvants in assisted reproductive technologies with the hope of improving the live birth rate. However, the studies regarding its effects are conflicting. The study aimed to investigat…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the causal effect of immune cells on endometriosis (EMS), we performed a Mendelian randomization analysis. METHODS: Mendelian randomization (MR) uses genetic variants as instrumental variables to investigate the c…
Endometriosis (EMs) is a common gynecological disease accompanied by metabolic disturbances. However, the causality between metabolites and the risk of EMs remains unclear. We conducted a 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using…
BACKGROUND: The low live birth rate and difficult decision-making of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment regimen bring great trouble to patients and clinicians. Based on the retrospective clinical data of patients undergoing the IVF …
Ovarian cancer, a group of heterogeneous diseases, presents with extensive characteristics with the highest mortality among gynecological malignancies. Accurate and early diagnosis of ovarian cancer is of great significance. Here, we presen…
PURPOSE: Decreased ovarian reserve function is mainly characterized by female endocrine disorders and fertility decline. Follicular fluid (FF) exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to regulate the function of granulosa cells (GCs). Th…
PURPOSE: To evaluate the contribution of the cleavage stage morphological parameters to the prediction of blastocyst transfer outcomes. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on 8383 single-blastocyst transfer cycles including 2246 f…
