Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), a member of the class IIb HDAC family, plays a crucial role in epigenetic regulation and cytoskeletal dynamics, while participating in host anti-infective immune responses. However, its precise functions and m…

BackgroundEndometrial carcinoma (EC) is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies, with increasing global morbidity and mortality rates. Curcumol, a sesquiterpenoid hemicrystalline compound, exhibits notable pharmacological effects, i…

BackgroundDifferent endometrial preparation protocols are used prior to frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). Optimization of endometrial preparation protocols is mandatory to improve live birth rate and obstetric and perinatal outcomes. In …

Research questionDoes preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) on cryopreserved unbiopsied blastocysts improve pregnancy outcomes for women with previous IVF-related pregnancy loss?MethodsThis retrospective observational study…

BackgroundOxidative stress and metabolic disorders significantly contribute to the development of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Heme oxygenase-1 (HMOX1) plays a key role in the degradation of heme and the regulation of oxidative stres…

Advanced maternal age (AMA, ≥35 years) women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) face reduced live birth rates (LBR) and remain a major clinical challenge. In a large randomized trial, Zishen Yutai Pill (ZYP) improved LBR in t…

Oxidative stress and metabolic disorders are involved in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Heme oxygenase 2 (HMOX2) plays a critical role in preserving heme metabolism as well as in modulating glycolipid metabolism, oxid…

BackgroundLate follicular phase progesterone elevation (LFPE) during ovarian stimulation is associated with reduced live birth rates (LBRs) after cleavage-stage embryo transfer. However, due to better synchronization with a stimulated endom…

BackgroundChildbearing in women with advanced maternal age (AMA) has increased the need for artificial reproductive technology (ART). ART and oxidative stress are associated with many pregnancy complications. Paraoxonase (PON) 1 is one of t…

ObjectiveTo assess the efficacy of the Zishen Yutai Pill compared with placebo on live birth rates among women after fresh embryo transfer cycles.MethodsWe conducted a double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled, randomized trial to inves…

BackgroundA number of studies have compared the clinical outcomes between the two endometrial preparation methods: natural cycles (NCs) and hormone replacement treatment (HRT) before frozen embryo transfer, but the results were conflicting.…

BackgroundThe ideal protocols of endometrial preparation for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients are lacking and need further declaration. Our objective was to compare the clinical outcomes of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) with …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a widespread benign gynecological disorder. The signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway plays an important role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis through regulating prolif…

Background: Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx1) and catalase (CAT) are the major intracellular antioxidant enzymes that can detoxify hydrogen pero…

PURPOSE: To compare the clinical outcome of fresh embryo transfer with frozen-thawed embryo transfer in subsequent cycle of GnRH antagonist protocol. METHODS: Totally, 1430 women were enrolled from the cases of our Assisted Reproduction Ce…

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, non-coding, single-stranded small RNAs involved in a variety of cellular processes, including ontogeny, cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. They can also function as oncogenes or tumor supp…

It is unknown whether seasonal variation influences the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Previous studies related to seasonal variation of IVF were all small sample size, and the results were conflicting. We performed a retrospectiv…

BackgroundElevated serum levels of apolipoprotein (apo) C1 may be an early protein marker of metabolic abnormality in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It is not clear, however, whether there are any relationships between the apo…

BackgroundThe G994T polymorphism in platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) gene is associated with the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between R92H and A379V v…

BackgroundTo evaluate the short-term and long-term outcomes after laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) compared with abdominal hysterectomy (AH) in case of benign gynecological disease.MethodsA multi-center cohort retrospective comparative study …

BackgroundOccult invasive cervical cancer (OICC) is sometimes incidentally found in surgical specimens after a simple hysterectomy (SH). This study was aimed at identifying a subset of patients with OICC who have a favorable prognosis. This…

ObjectivesTo investigate the prognostic value of endometriosis in patients with stage I ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC).MethodsThe medical records of patients with stage I OCCC who had undergone complete staging surgery followed by syst…

OBJECTIVES: The present study investigated the clinical implications of pretreatment carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA-125) levels and CA-125 normalization in patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC), and it provides useful information f…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze and compare the clinicopathological features and prognosis of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) with or without endometriosis in Chinese patients. DESIGN: Comparative study based on a retrospective review of medical …
