IntroductionAssisted reproductive technology (ART) and previous Cesarean section (CS) are independently associated with the risk of adverse obstetric and perinatal outcomes in general. Few studies have focused on the association between adv…
The heterogeneity in the pathological and clinical manifestations of ovarian cancer is a major hurdle impeding early and accurate diagnosis. A host of imaging modalities, including Doppler ultrasound, MRI, and CT, have been investigated to …
BackgroundThe aim of this study is to determine whether infertile couples who are carriers of chromosomal abnormalities have distinct cumulative clinical pregnancy and cumulative live birth rates among patients undergoing assisted reproduct…
Abstract Background: Endometriosis (EMS), an estrogen-dependent disease, is characterized by dysregulated inflammation and increased estrogen in ectopic lesions. However, the crosstalk and pathogenic mechanism of inflammation and estrogen h…
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas accompanied by tissue injury and necrosis. It not only affects the pancreas but also triggers a systemic inflammatory response that leads to multiorgan failure or ev…
IntroductionAs a new minimally invasive surgery, transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) has been proved to be suitable for the treatment of a variety of gynecological benign diseases. However, compared with ot…
OBJECTIVE: Adenomyosis is characterized by the presence of endometrium or endometrium-like glands and stroma within the myometrium. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether the cGAS-STING pathway was activated and correlated with clin…
BackgroundAlthough acute pancreatitis associated with hyperparathyroidism has occasionally been reported, acute pancreatitis with metabolic encephalopathy caused by hyperparathyroidism combined with paraneoplastic syndrome is an extremely r…
IntroductionNatural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is a new concept of minimally invasive surgery. It could prevent complications related to the trocar in laparoscopic surgery, and help achieve ideal cosmetic outcomes.AimTo…
Ovarian cancer ranks as the fifth most common cause of cancer-related death in females. The molecular mechanisms of ovarian carcinogenesis need to be explored in order to identify effective clinical therapies for ovarian cancer. Recently, m…
BackgroundIt has been consistently shown in several meta-analyses that infants born after ART have an excess of birth defects compared with those after spontaneous conception, however, the prevalence of birth defects among ART offspring in …
Emerging evidence suggests that children conceived through assisted reproductive technology (ART) have a higher risk of congenital heart defects (CHDs) even when there is no family history. De novo mutation (DNM) is a well-known cause of sp…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is an illness caused by the presence of foci of endometrial implants outside the uterine cavity. Laparoscopy (minimally invasive surgical method) is considered as the definitive treatment for Endometriosis. METHO…
Abstract Background: Endometriosis (EMT) is the most common benign gynecological disease among women of reproductive age, causing infertility and seriously affects women's physical and mental health. However, the current treatment was not a…
PurposeProgestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) is a new ovarian stimulation protocol that has been used over the last decade to enhance reproductive function. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether PPOS is as effective as conv…
Research questionCould extracellular vesicle-derived long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) serve as promising circulating biomarkers for endometriosis?DesignTo obtain novel diagnostic markers, 85 patients with endometriosis were enrolled as the endo…
Abstract Background: Luteinized unruptured follicular follicle syndrome (LUFS) is a special type of ovulatory dysfunction and a common cause of infertility. It is estimated that its prevalence is 13% ~ 73% in endometriosis patients. Increa…
Adenomyosis (AM) is a disease in which endometrial tissue invades the myometrium and has a 10–60% prevalence in reproductive-aged women. TSC2 regulates autophagy via mTOR1 signalling in colorectal cancer and endometrial carcinoma. Dysregula…
ObjectiveIt is well known that circRNAs are closely involved in the progression of various diseases. However, their functions and potential regulatory mechanisms in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) remain largely unknown. In the present stu…
Adenomyosis is associated with dysmenorrhea, infertility, and lesional fibrosis. The pathogenesis of adenomyosis is still unclear. Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) plays important roles in pathological activities like tumor metasta…
Purpose. To determine whether the kiwi root extract inhibits the development of endometriosis in mice by suppressing inflammatory factors. Materials and Methods. The mouse model of endometriosis was induced by surgery after which the mice w…
Dysregulated extravillous trophoblast invasion and proliferation are known to increase the risk of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA); however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Herein, in our retrospective observational case-cont…
Intrauterine adhesion is a major cause of menstrual irregularities, infertility, and recurrent pregnancy losses and the progress towards its amelioration and therapy is slow and unsatisfactory. We aim to summarize and evaluate the current t…
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a continuing or relapsing inflammatory disease of the pancreas, characterized by fibrosis of the whole tissue. The regulatory mechanisms of the immune microenvironment in the pathogenesis of CP are still not cle…
BackgroundPsychological distress may exert a negative influence on reproductive function of couples at reproductive age. Couples seeking assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment may have a higher prevalence of psychological distress…
