PurposeTo examine the expression of MUC16 in the endometrium peri-implantation period in three different cohort studies.MethodsThis was a retrospective observational cohort study. A total of 245 participants were recruited in three separate…
Endometriosis an important cause of female infertility and seriously impact physical and psychological health of patients. Endometriosis is now considered to be a public health problem that deserves in-depth investigation, especially the et…
ABSTRACT: The NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a key regulator of the host's immune response, and many immune and metabolic disorders are linked to its activation. This review aimed to investigate and clarify the relation…
Abstract Background: The cause of endometriosis, which is characterized by the existence of functional endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, is poorly understood. Seminal plasma (SP) is rich in multiple cytokines may promote endom…
This study means to investigate a combination of noninvasive methods in diagnosis of minimal or mild endometriosis expecting to narrow down the range of laparoscopic exploration for female infertility.It is a retrospective case control stud…
Endometriosis is associated with benign but adversely developed cysts in the extrauterine environment. The oxidative imbalanced environment induces DNA damage and affects cell cycle progression of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) and endome…
Multiple studies have confirmed that human menstrual blood-derived stem cells (MenSCs) have potential applications in regenerative medicine or cell therapy. However, the contribution of MenSCs to endometrial repair is currently unknown. We …
Hypoxia plays a vital role in the progression of endometriosis. Additionally, integrin-mediated aberrant adhesion is also essential for establishment of endometriotic lesions. In this study, we sought to determine the function of hypoxia in…
OBJECTIVE: Ovarian fibrosis is characterized by excessive proliferation of ovarian fibroblasts and deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) and it is one of the principal reasons for ovarian dysfunction. This review aimed to investigate the…
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) was one of the most used therapies in the treatment of endometriosis. But unfortunately, no literatures realized GnRH-a may be related to thrombosis until now. The case below was exactly about…
STUDY QUESTION: Are endometriotic mesenchymal stem cells (Ecto-MSCs) involved in the fibrosis of ovarian endometrioma? SUMMARY ANSWER: Ecto-MSCs enhanced the fibrotic behavior of stromal cells in ovarian endometrioma through the Wnt/β-cate…
ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between endometrial expressions of angiogenic factors around the time of embryo implantation and P level before oocyte retrieval during IVF-ET treatment.DesignRetrospective study.SettingUniversity As…
PurposeThis study aimed to compare slow freezing (SF) and vitrification (VT) techniques for day 3 embryo cryopreservation in infertile couples.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study enrolled 5613 infertile patients, with 7862 frozen-thawed …
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis affects natural fertility through various approaches, and in vitro fertilization (IVF) is a good treatment. But the IVF result of endometriosis patients is still under debate. We investigated the effect of endometr…
