STUDY QUESTION: What was the performance of different pretreatment prediction models for IVF, which were developed based on UK/US population (McLernon 2016 model, Luke model, Dhillon model, and McLernon 2022 model), in wider populations? S…

Pulmonary endometriosis is a rare disease of uncertain pathogenesis which generally presents with the cyclic clinical symptoms and catamenial changes noticed on computer tomography during menstruation. We report a case of a 33-year-old woma…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the safety and effectiveness between long-term GnRH agonist plus HCG (dual trigger) and HCG trigger alone in high ovarian responders. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on clinical data from 314 cases of hig…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the application of sequential embryo transfer, cleavage embryo transfer, and blastocyst transfer combined with intrauterine perfusion in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles in patients with recurrent implantation fail…

The association between serum copper and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) lacks definitive conclusions, and the intricate interactions with in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle characteristics in infertility remain insufficiently explored. Th…

The relationship between iron status and female infertility has been observed in several studies, yet its causal nature remains ambiguous. We employed univariate Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses to explore the potential causal connecti…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between thyroid dysfunction or thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) and diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). METHODS: A total of 2,867 women undergoing their first in-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle at Shenzhen…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to verify the clinical predictive performance of methylated cysteine dioxygenase type 1 (CDO1m) and CUGBP Elav-like family member 4 (CELF4m) in endometrial cancer (EC) women with postmenopausal ble…

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…

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the deadliest women's cancer and has a poor prognosis. Early detection is the key for improving survival (a 5-year survival rate in stage I/II is over 70% compared to that of 25% in stage III/IV) and can b…

Primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma) is the third leading cause of tumor death in the world and the second leading cause in China. The high recurrence rate at 5 years after surgery also seriously affects the long…

The abnormal expression of follistatin‑like protein 1 (FSTL1) in various tumors is a crucial regulator of the biological process of tumorigenesis. Nonetheless, the regulatory role of FSTL1 in cervical cancer is yet to be elucidated. Hence, …

BACKGROUND: Chorioamnionitis (CAM) is a common risk factor for preterm births, resulting in several adverse outcomes. The association between infertility treatment and CAM is unclear. Therefore, this study examined the association between i…

BACKGROUND: This study was performed to assess the association of TLR4 gene 2026A/G (rs1927914), 896A/G (rs4986790), and 1196C/T (rs4986791) polymorphisms and cancer susceptibility based on published case-control studies. METHODS: Web of S…

PURPOSE: Dysmenorrhea is the most common gynecological condition among women of childbearing age and remains a challenging public health issue. This study aimed to visualize profiles and hotspots in dysmenorrhea research through a bibliomet…

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown observational associations between the gut microbiota and endometriosis; however, the causal nature of such associations remains unclear. This study aimed to analyze the genetic causal relationship be…

BACKGROUND: Neuroimaging studies have identified altered brain structures and functions in women with primary dysmenorrhea (PDM). However, previous studies focused on either structural or functional changes in specific brain regions rather …

IMPORTANCE: A growing number of children are conceived with assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, there is a lack of studies systematically analyzing the genetic landscape of live-born children conceived through ART who need inte…

The successful establishment of endometrial receptivity is a key factor in ensuring the fertility of ewes and their economic benefits. Hu sheep have attracted attention due to their high fecundity and year-round estrus. In this study, we fo…

Because adenomyosis (AM) ectopic primary cells are hard to come by, have a short lifespan, and the characteristics that alter over time, their utility in AM research is constrained. This study aimed to establish a line of immortalized human…

The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is an important part of the natural immune system that plays an important role in many diseases. Estrogen is a sex hormone that plays an important ro…

OBJECTIVE: To analyse the factors influencing clinical pregnancy outcome of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) in older women, and to establish a risk prediction model. METHODS: A total of 425 patients recei…

Qingyi decoction (QYD) has anti-inflammatory pharmacological properties and substantial therapeutic benefits on severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in clinical practice. However, its protective mechanism against SAP-associated acute lung injury…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) classification of different clinical symptoms and corresponding therapeutic efficacy in adenomyosis patients. METHODS: From January 2015 to October 202…

Adenomyosis is a benign uterine disease that pathologically shows endometrial glands and stroma in the myometrium. There are multiple lines of evidence that adenomyosis is associated with abnormal bleeding, painful menstruation, chronic pel…
