ObjectiveTo assess the efficacy of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) compared to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) alone in couples undergoing ICSI treatment because of severe male infertility.DesignMulticentre,…

OBJECTIVE: To systematically review studies on reproductive outcomes following fertility-sparing interventions. METHODS: Various electronic databases were searched and studies reporting reproductive outcomes following fertility-sparing int…

RAD18 is a crucial mismatch repair gene associated with the post-replication repair, and genetic variations in RAD18 gene are closely related to tumorigenesis. We selected 6 RAD18 SNP and performed mismatch amplification PCR on 650 cases of…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder that can cause infertility in women of reproductive age, and its clinical treatment still faces significant challenges. However, the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear.…

Background and aimsEnvironmental pollutants, particularly organochlorine insecticides like endosulfan (ENDO), are increasingly linked to liver toxicity and related diseases. Despite its widespread historical use, the mechanisms underlying E…

Abstract Adenomyosis is a prevalent and non-cancerous uterine disease which can significantly impaired the fertility of reproductive-age women. However, the etiology, as well as the cellular and molecular mechanism underlying adenomyosis re…

INTRODUCTION: Adenomyosis is a prevalent gynaecological disorder affecting women of reproductive age, yet the underlying etiology and cellular-molecular mechanisms driving its pathogenesis remain poorly understood. Gonadotropin-releasing ho…

ObjectiveChronic inflammation is a key contributor to carcinogenesis, progression, and chemoresistance in ovarian cancer, making inflammatory pathways a logical therapeutic target for the treatment of this disease. Sulindac, a commonly used…

BackgroundInterstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a complex, chronic condition affecting the urinary bladder. Symptoms commonly associated with IC/BPS include painful urination, pain during intercourse, a persistent or recur…

IntroductionThe primary clinical challenge associated with follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) lies in accurately diagnosing the condition, particularly in distinguishing it with follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA) due to their overlapping cyto…

ObjectiveGonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa), combined with other auxiliary treatments, can improve pregnancy outcomes in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). This research investigated the effect of acupuncture comb…

Abstract Background Carcinomatous changes from the ectopic endometrial glands in endometriosis have been reported in many studies, but malignant transformation from uterine adenomyosis/adenomyoma is rare. And clear cell-like adenocarcinoma…

BACKGROUND: Carcinomatous changes from the ectopic endometrial glands in endometriosis have been reported in many studies, but malignant transformation from uterine adenomyosis/adenomyoma is rare. And clear cell-like adenocarcinoma represen…

PurposeCan small RNA derived from embryos in conditioned embryo culture medium (ECM) influence embryo implantation?MethodsWe employed small RNA sequencing to investigate the expression profiles of transfer RNA-derived small RNA (tsRNA) and …

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to establish a diagnostic model of endometriosis (EM) based on disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The mRNA expression data of EM were downloaded from the gene expression omnibus database and su…

Background: Radiation-induced lung fibrosis (RILF) is a life-threatening complication of thoracic radiotherapy. Ferroptosis, a recently discovered type of cell death, is believed to contribute to RILF, though the associated mechanisms are u…

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…

PurposeTo determine the impact of polycystic ovary syndrome on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer outcomes while analyzing the influencing factors.Patients and methodsA retrospective cohort study com…

Osteosarcoma is an aggressive form of bone cancer and affects the health in children and adolescents. Although conventional treatment improves the osteosarcoma survival, some patients have metastasis and drug resistance, leading to a worse …

Study questionWhat is the effect of pretreatment with oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) on oocyte and embryo quality and pregnancy rates in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) scheduled for IVF/ICSI cycles?Summary answerIn women with …

Female fecundity declines in a nonlinear manner with age during the reproductive years, even as ovulatory cycles continue, which reduces female fertility, disrupts metabolic homeostasis, and eventually induces various chronic diseases. Desp…

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a clinical syndrome of ovarian dysfunction characterized by the abnormal alteration of hormone levels such as FSH and E2. POI causes infertility, severe daily life disturbances, and long-term health …

Endometriosis is a hormone-dependent disease in women of reproductive age and seriously affects women's health. To analyze the involvement of sex hormone receptors in endometriosis development, we performed bioinformatics analysis using fou…

A 37-year-old woman presented with worsening intermittent chest pain and dyspnea in the previous year. Although the dyspnea was exertion-dependent, her chest pain was heavily dependent on her postural position, worsening in the supine posit…
