Abnormal trophoblast self-renewal and differentiation during early gestation is the major cause of miscarriage, yet the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we show that trophoblast specific deletion of Kat8, a MYST family…
BackgroundAdhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) is a common acute abdominal complication. Although non-surgical treatment is the primary treatment approach, more and more studies show that surgical treatment can reduce the incidence rate.…
BackgroundPreeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific clinical syndrome and can be subdivided into early-onset preeclampsia (EOPE) and late-onset preeclampsia (LOPE) according to the gestational age of delivery. Patients with preeclampsia have abe…
The impaired endometrial receptivity is a major factor contributing to infertility in patients with endometriosis (EM), but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Our study aimed to investigate the role of Kruppel-like factor 15 (KLF15) …
Despite decades of research, the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear. Recent studies have shown that microRNAs play an important role in this condition. In this study, we found that the expression level of miR-450b-5p was increase…
Background and aimsHepatic fibrosis (HF) is a critical step in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Gene associated with retinoid-IFN-induced mortality 19 (GRIM19), an essential component of mitochondrial respiratory chain com…
ObjectiveThe sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease (SPID) are major causes of secondary infertility. Modified Hongteng Baijiang decoction (MHTBD) has produced positive results in the treatment of patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory …
The goal of the study was to explore the mechanism underlying the progression from abnormal uterine bleeding with ovulatory dysfunction (AUB-O) to AUB with atypical hyperplasia/malignancy (AUB-M). AUB-O, AUB-M and control endometrial tissue…
BACKGROUND: Nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 3 (NR4A3) is lowly expressed in ectopic endometrium and can be degraded by ubiquitination in vascular endothelial cells. Murine double minute 2 (MDM2) is predicted to be the ubiquitin …
ObjectivesTo determine whether MRI can predict the necessity of rectosigmoid resection (RR) for optimal debulking surgery (ODS) in ovarian cancer (OC) patients and to compare the predictive accuracy of pre- and post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy…
Abstract Purpose Endometriosis (EMT) affects millions of women worldwide and is closely associated with the body's response to oxidative stress. The role of oxidative stress markers in the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis is a pot…
IntroductionThis study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between phosphatidylcholine (PC) levels and dysmenorrhea using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.MethodsWe conducted a two-sample MR analysis using GWAS data on PC leve…
BACKGROUND: Thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) is associated with infertility and complications during pregnancy. However, the prevalence of thyroid autoantibodies in women with infertility remains unclear due to variability in study designs, sampl…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate uterine contractility in patients with adenomyosis compared with healthy controls using a quantitative two-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) speckle tracking method. DESIGN: A multicenter prospective observa…
BackgroundChlamydia trachomatis is a common sexually transmitted disease that is associated with considerable morbidity and harmful sequelae, including pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility. Strategies for prevention and treatment of …
BackgroundsCancer antigen 125 (CA125) is widely used for screening ovarian cancer (OC), yet its effectiveness remains debated. Potential factors may include ineffective cut-off value for CA125 in screening, as well as a lack of consideratio…
BackgroundSleep disturbances are more prevalent among women with infertility. Current research increasingly highlights the significant relationship between sleep disturbances and female infertility, suggesting that sleep may be a key factor…
Limited understanding exists regarding how aging impacts the cellular and molecular aspects of the human ovary. This study combines single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to systematically characterize human ovarian aging. S…
An accessory cavitated uterine mass (ACUM) is a very rare obstructive genital malformation characterized by pelvic pain and severe dysmenorrhea. It is easily mistaken for other obstructive genital malformations in women, such as cystic uter…
Endometriosis is a debilitating, chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women worldwide with no cure. While macrophages have been intrinsically linked to the pathophysiology of endometriosis, targeting …
IntroductionInfertility affects 8-12% of couples worldwide, with 15-30% classified as unexplained infertility (UI). Thyroid autoimmunity (TAI), the most common autoimmune disorder in women of reproductive age, may impact fertility and pregn…
The most common epigenetic modification of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) is N6-methyladenosine (m6A), which is mainly located near the 3' untranslated region of mRNAs, near the stop codons, and within internal exons. The biological effect of m6A i…
BackgroundLaser-assisted hatching (LAH) stands as the predominant technique for removing the zona pellucida (ZP) in embryos, primarily consisting of two methods: drilling laser-assisted hatching (D-LAH) and thinning laser-assisted hatching …
Background The association between menstrual cycle characteristics and cardiovascular outcomes remains unclear. This study was undertaken to evaluate whether menstrual cycle regularity and length throughout the life course are associated wi…
PurposeTo prospectively study the influence of the volume of the uterine junctional zone (JZ) as a novel predictor of reproductive outcomes in frozen embryo transfer cycles.MethodsAmong the first 30 patients, intra- and interobserver repeata…
