BackgroundTo compare the efficacy of modified gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocols combining clomiphene citrate (CC) or letrozole (LE) versus a conventional antagonist protocol in patients with normal ovarian reserve, …

Severe pneumonia is the leading cause of mortality in individuals with lung disease. Programmed cell death (PCD) is implicated in various pathologies; however, the precise relationship between severe pneumonia and PCD remains unclear. This …

ObjectiveTo evaluate whether vitamin D supplementation improves live birth rates in women with polycystic ovary syndrome undergoing in vitro fertilisation.DesignMulticentre, double blind, placebo controlled, randomised clinical trial.Settin…

BackgroundIn recent years, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques into medical imaging has shown great potential to transform the diagnostic process. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current state-…

BackgroundThe administration of exogenous gonadotropins (Gn) to elicit multi-follicular development for controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) represents a pivotal component of assisted reproductive technology (ART). Presently, the exogenous …

Endometriosis (EM) is a non-cancerous disease that exhibits certain tumor-like properties. While hormonal therapies and surgical excision are standard treatments with proven efficacy in alleviating EM symptoms, they are often accompanied by…

AimHigh serum uric acid (UA) levels have been linked to cancer development through chronic inflammation and oxidative damage. Traditional epidemiological studies have shown inconsistent results regarding the relationship between uric acid a…

Irpex lacteus is a fungus typically found on angiosperm branches and trunks. Here, we report the isolation of a novel strain of I. lacteus from the cervix uteri of a female patient diagnosed with endometriosis and COVID-19 at Beijing Obstet…

High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most common type of epithelial ovarian cancer with insidious onset, rapid growth, and invasive spread. Here, we reported the diagnosis and treatment of a 53-year-old patient with a history of …

Early pregnancy loss (EPL) is a common event in human reproduction and is classified into histological subtypes such as hydropic abortion (HA) and hydatidiform moles, including complete hydatidiform moles (CHMs) and partial hydatidiform mol…

BackgroundPrior research showed that elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) before in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) treatment can lead to a lower rate of liv…

IN BRIEF: Elevated expression of miR-122-5p in exosomes in the follicular fluid of patients with endometriosis impairs glucose metabolism in cumulus cells and may further impair oocyte quality. ABSTRACT: Endometriosis (EMs) affects fertili…

Objective: This study aimed to assess the relationship between implantation and soluble HLA-G (sHLA-G) expression in cleavage embryo culture medium (ECM) in conjunction with early developmental kinetics determined by time-lapse imaging (TLI…

BackgroundCopy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) was proven to be a highly effective tool in studying of chromosomal copy number variations (CNVs) in prenatal diagnosis and post-natal cases with developmental abnormalities. However, the…

Uterine fibroids (UFs) are the most common benign gynecologic tumors in reproductive-aged women. The typical diagnostic strategies of UFs are transvaginal ultrasonography and pathological feature, while molecular biomarkers are considered c…

We performed clinical treatment, histopathology, immunohistochemistry and molecular analyses. To compare with the published literature and have a reference overview. A 57-year-old woman and a 77-year-old woman presented with mesonephric-lik…

Estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα) plays an important role in endometrial cancer (EC) progression. However, the biological roles of ERRα in EC invasion and metastasis are not clear. This study aimed to investigate the role of ERRα and 3…

Study questionDo extracellular vesicles (EVs) from human Fallopian tubes exert an influence on early embryo development in vitro?Summary answerHuman Fallopian tube EVs carrying miRNAs increase murine embryo viability in vitro.What is known …

Background: Fallopian choriocarcinoma is extremely rare and is still treated with a combination of chemotherapy and surgery. We report a case of gestational fallopian tubal choriocarcinoma treated solely with surgery and describe its clini…

BackgroundThere is a higher risk of preterm delivery (PTD) in singleton live births conceived after in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) compared with spontaneously conceived pregnancies. The objective of our…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of oviductal extracellular vesicles from patients with endometriosis on early embryo development. DESIGN: In vitro experimental study. SETTING: University-affiliated hospital. PATIENTS: Women with …

Abstract Exercise, as an effective non-drug intervention, plays an important role in preventing and alleviating several diseases. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is caused by an excessive accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in …
