STUDY QUESTION: What molecular mechanisms underlie the decline in ovarian reserve as the number and quality of oocytes decrease in patients with ovarian endometriomas (OEM)? SUMMARY ANSWER: Elevated expression of the let-7 micro(mi)RNAs in…
RationaleDyspareunia is a common disease affecting the physical and mental health of individuals. There are several reasons for dyspareunia. It is essential to identify the causes of dyspareunia and to implement targeted treatments.Patient …
Cross-disease genome-wide association studies (GWASs) unveil pleiotropic loci, mostly situated within the non-coding genome, each of which exerts pleiotropic effects across multiple diseases. However, the challenge "W-H-W" (namely, whether,…
This study aims to present a case of uterine adenomyosis accompanied by multiple hemorrhagic cerebral infarctions (CIs), summarize therapeutic experiences based on the literature review, and improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment of m…
Virulence factor genes (VFGs) play pivotal roles in bacterial infections and have been identified within the human gut microbiota. However, their involvement in chronic diseases remains poorly understood. Here, we establish an expanded VFG …
INTRODUCTION: Menstrual health is a key patient-reported outcome beyond its importance as a general indicator of health and fertility. However, menstrual function was not measured in the clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccines. The purpose of …
Over the years, obesity has become more commonplace and has had a substantial impact on several medical specialties, including reproductive medicine. The potential correlation between the visceral adiposity index (VAI) and infertility has y…
OBJECTIVES: To compare the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) with laparoscopy in detecting and characterizing uterosacral ligament (USL) nodules of deep infiltrative endometriosis (DIE) between patients with and without pouch of Do…
BackgroundA newly generic microspheres, sustained-release formulation of triptorelin acetate 3.75 mg has been developed.ObjectivesTo evaluate the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and safety of triptorelin 1-month formulation in Chinese patients …
BackgroundTo evaluate the impact of embryo quality and quantity, specifically a poor quality embryo (PQE) in combination with a good quality embryo (GQE), by double embryo transfer (DET) on the live birth rate (LBR) and neonatal outcomes in…
OBJECTIVE: To prospectively assess the effect of endometriosis and uterine fibroids on the long term risk of premature mortality (younger than 70 years). DESIGN: Prospective cohort study SETTING: The Nurses' Health Study II, United States …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecological disease, which profoundly jeopardizes women's quality of life and places a significant medical burden on society. The pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear, posing major clinical…
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…
OBJECTIVES: To better understand whether history of infertility is associated with anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels later in life, outside of reproduction. METHODS: Among 1,758 premenopausal women in the Nurses' Health Study II with mea…
BackgroundThin endometrial thickness (EMT) and advanced age are both common risk factors for adverse neonatal outcomes (ANOs). However, studies evaluating the impact of EMT and combined effect of EMT and age on ANOs remain scarce with confl…
BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the main cause of anovulatory infertility in women of reproductive age, and low-grade chronic inflammation plays a key role in the occurrence and development of PCOS. However, obesity, as a like…
ObjectiveEndometrial stromal tumors are rare and complex mesenchymal tumors that often present with clinical symptoms similar to uterine leiomyomas. Due to their atypical nature, they are prone to be misdiagnosed or overlooked by healthcare…
The quality of oocytes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) decreases, which is closely related to the function of oocytes' mitochondria. If mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in PCOS, it is likely to affect the function of …
Although endometriosis is a common condition, both extrapelvic endometriosis and endometriosis associated malignancy (EAM) are rare. We describe the first reported case of a patient with Müllerian-type carcinosarcoma arising in gastric endo…
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To establish and validate a predictive multi-machine learning model for the long-term efficacy of uterine artery embolization (UAE) in the treatment of adenomyosis based on habitat subregions. MATERIALS AND METHOD…
BACKGROUND: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is a widespread and reversible epigenetic alteration in eukaryotic mRNA, playing a pivotal role in various biological functions. Its significance in female reproductive development and assoc…
Lactic acid (LA) is an essential glycolytic metabolite and energy source in the body, which is present in high levels in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is a reliable indicator for identifying inflammatory …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a common gynecological condition with apparent heterogeneity, lack of diagnostic markers, and unclear pathogenesis. A series of bioinformatics methods were employed to explore EMS's pathological mechanisms and potenti…
