Endometriosis (EMS), a chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately 10 % reproductive aged women, remains etiologically unclear. This study aims to investigate the role and underlying mechanisms of frizzled class receptor 7 (FZD7) i…
BackgroundDespite epidemiological studies linking phthalates to ovarian cancer, their multi-target molecular mechanisms remain unresolved, hindering biomarker discovery and preventive strategies. This study integrates network toxicology, mu…
BackgroundPrevious studies have identified that exposure to heavy metals increases the prevalence of congenital heart defects (CHDs); however, limited information exists regarding the association between combined exposure to barium (Ba) and…
BackgroundThe quality of in vitro matured (IVM) oocytes remains inferior to that of in vivo matured oocytes, likely due to DNA damage induced by the in vitro environment. Although rapamycin has been shown to improve the developmental compet…
INTRODUCTION: A significant proportion of women in their reproductive years are afflicted by endometriosis. And one of the major contributing factors to infertility linked to ovarian endometriosis is thought to be oocyte quality. The precis…
AIM: To explore whether preoperative vaginal dysbiosis influences the recurrence of endometrial polyps after hysteroscopic polypectomy. DESIGN: Retrospective-prospective observational cohort study. METHODS: A total of 679 patients from ou…
OBJECTIVE: This retrospective study investigated the prognostic significance and risk factors of benign pathologic types of background endometrium surrounding endometrial polyps (EPs). METHODS: We assessed 206 patients who underwent hyster…
Trained immunity induced by β-glucan insult drives the functional reprogramming of macrophages to the hyperinflammatory status, contributing to developing or maintaining inflammatory diseases. Inflammatory arthritis is characterized by an i…
Endometriosis is a complex disorder characterized by genetic, immune, inflammatory, and multifactorial etiologies. Dietary fiber, a crucial component abundant in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, is known for its diverse beneficial effe…
BACKGROUND: This study leveraged whole-genome resequencing to investigate the genetic architecture, population structure, and kinship dynamics of the Hetian sheep population. By integrating genomic data with reproductive trait analysis, we …
BackgroundUterine leiomyosarcoma(uLMS) is a rare malignant tumor with low clinical specificity and poor prognosis.There are many studies related to uLMS, however, there is still a lack of metrological analyses with generalization. This stud…
ObjectiveWe aimed to investigate the significance of autophagy proteins and their association with clinical data on pregnancy loss in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), while also constructing predictive models.MethodsThis study was a second…
This study aimed to evaluate the potential of capping protein (actin filament) muscle Z-line subunit β (CAPZB) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels as a biomarker for distinguishing low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions of the cerv…
BackgroundTo investigate the impact of chronic endometritis (CE) on the recurrence of endometrial polyps (EPs) in premenopausal women after transcervical resection of endometrial polyps (TCRP).MethodsThis prospective study enrolled 507 wome…
Background and aimsChronic enteropathy associated with SLCO2A1 gene is a rare intestinal disease caused by loss-of-function SLCO2A1 mutations, with clinical and genetic characteristics remaining largely unknown, especially in Chinese patien…
PURPOSE: To elucidatethe epigenetic alteration associated with impaired oogenesis in endometrioma using multi-omic approaches. METHODS: ATAC-seq was performed on the granulosa cells (GCs) of 6 patients (3 with endometrioma and 3 without). …
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…
PurposeDecreased ovarian reserve function is mainly characterized by female endocrine disorders and fertility decline. Follicular fluid (FF) exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to regulate the function of granulosa cells (GCs). The …
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…
Abstract Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic gynecological disorder that affects 5–10% of women of reproductive age, and Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is one of the most prevalent systemic autoimmune diseases. Despite clinical evidence su…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a complex disorder with genetic, immune, inflammatory, and multifactorial etiologies. Zinc, an essential trace element, plays a crucial role in various physiological processes. Dysregulation or deficiency of zin…
PurposeIt is well known that androgen excess impairs oocyte quality, endometrial receptivity and even embryo invasion to some extent. Free androgen index (FAI) is strongly recommended to evaluate active androgen. Previous studies have showe…
BackgroundThis study investigates the potential impact of high progesterone (P) level on the day following human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) injection on the clinical pregnancy outcomes of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET).Me…
BackgroundThe role of sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) in fertility remains controversial. Herein, we analyzed its association with semen parameters, embryonic development, and pregnancy outcomes after in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatm…
Abstract Objectives To inform dysmenorrhea for exploring the possible pathogenesis of adenomyosis based on MRI classification criteria and serum CA125. Methods Patients before focused ultrasound ablation surgery were categorized into …
