Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as pivotal mediators of intercellular communication in reproductive medicine, demonstrating considerable potential for both understanding and treating reproductive disorders. By precisely regulating…
We performed a genome-wide association meta-analysis of generalised anxiety symptom severity in 696,563 individuals of European ancestry from 14 cohorts. We identified 82 independent genome-wide significant variants within 76 loci, 41 of wh…
The increased risk of infertility and endometrial lesions (such as endometrial hyperplasia or cancer) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are closely associated with the lack of cyclical transformation in the endometrium. However, the under…
OBJECTIVE: To study the correlation between anti-Müllerian hormone levels and pregnancy outcomes after in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, which remains controversial. METHODS: T…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common disease among women of childbearing age. However, the molecular mechanism behind it is still unknown. Therefore, new biomarkers and therapeutic targets are needed to improve the diagnosis and treatment …
BACKGROUND: Insomnia is increasingly emerging as a significant concern in public health, with a longstanding emphasis on its relationship with overall well-being. Nevertheless, few research has been devoted to investigating the relationship…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis, a chronic oestrogen-dependent disorder, presents significant clinical challenges including pelvic pain, dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia and infertility. While numerous interventions exist, evidence guiding the choice…
Infertility is an increasingly prevalent global health issue affecting millions of couples. It can arise from various factors, including hormonal imbalances, reproductive disorders, and anatomical abnormalities. While numerous treatment opt…
BACKGROUND: Different 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. I…
Adenomyosis is a complex gynecological disease characterized by endometrial tissue invasion into the myometrium. Current interventions, such as hormonal therapy or hysterectomy, are associated with significant side effects and compromise fe…
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by progressive fibrosis, which is closely associated with clinical symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and infertility. While myofibroblast activation is central to fibrogenesis, the…
The global prevalence of obesity continues to rise, posing a threat to health, especially among women, where obesity can lead to reproductive endocrine disorders. Adipose tissue interacts with endocrine hormones, including insulin, leptin, …
UNLABELLED: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by pelvic pain and infertility, with oxidative stress playing a key role in its pathogenesis. Although antioxidant supplementation has been proposed as a potential ad…
The VDR and MTHFR polymorphisms have been linked to many gynecological and obstetrical diseases. However, there is still a pressing need for a systematic review and meta-analysis to synthesize the current evidence on the association between…
OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disease characterized by the ectopic growth of functional endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, affecting millions of women worldwide. Currently, the definitive diagnosis relies…
OBJECTIVE: Additive human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG)/recombinant luteinizing hormone (r-LH) to follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) can improve pregnancy outcomes in patients with poor ovarian response during assisted reproductive procedur…
BACKGROUND: Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) exerts a substantial influence on female infertility. Nevertheless, the relationship between VAT surrogates and female infertility remains ambiguous. METHODS: This study employed a cross-sectional …
Ceria nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) have become popular materials in biomedical and industrial fields due to their potential applications in anti-oxidation, cancer therapy, photocatalytic degradation of pollutants, sensors, etc. Many methods, in…
INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to investigate the microbial characteristics of yak uteri collected using intrauterine cotton swabs (CS) during different reproductive stages and the correlation of these microbial characteristics with reprodu…
Endometriosis and adenomyosis are debilitating gynecological conditions that severely affect the quality of life of women. Traditional diagnostic and treatment methods, including laparoscopic surgery and hormonal therapy, face significant l…
BACKGROUND: Female fertility declines with increased maternal age, and this decline is even more rapid after the age of 35 years. Follicular fluid (FF) is a crucial microenvironment that plays a significant role in the development of oocyte…
Abstract Purpose Endometriosis (EMT) affects millions of women worldwide and is closely associated with the body's response to oxidative stress. The role of oxidative stress markers in the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis is a pot…
Infertility presents a widespread challenge for many families worldwide, often arising from various gynecological diseases (GDs) that hinder successful pregnancies. Current diagnostic methods for GDs have disadvantages such as low efficienc…
INTRODUCTION: The optimal dosage of recombinant human luteinizing hormone (r-hLH) and its impact on endometrial thickness (EMT) when administered alongside recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (r-hFSH) during controlled ovarian st…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent gynecological endocrine condition and a systemic inflammatory disease associated to improper lipid metabolism and increased cardiovascular risk. The Cardiometabolic Index (CMI) is a novel i…
