OBJECTIVE: To address the need for more objective and reproducible preoperative diagnosis of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), this study aimed to develop and validate a weighted ensemble machine learning (ML) model using multimodal ma…

BACKGROUND: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the association between endometrial thickness (EMT) on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger and the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) across one oocyte-retrieval cycle.…

BackgroundDamage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are endogenous molecules released or exposed during cellular stress, injury, or death. Initially characterized as danger signals that alert the immune system, DAMPs are now recognized a…

BackgroundAs the main cause of maternal deaths in early pregnancy, delayed diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy (EP) may lead to severe consequences. Patients with pregnancy of unknown location (PUL) exhibit a significantly higher incidence of EP…

The lack of accurate understanding of cellular physiology and pathophysiology during the WOI constitutes the major obstacle to correct diagnosis and treatment for patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). The role of cilia as one …

Uterine fibroids are common among women of reproductive age and often recur after treatment. Accurate recurrence prediction is essential for guiding clinical decisions, yet existing models remain inadequate. This study aimed to develop a no…

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is essential for tissue homeostasis, ensuring structural stability, facilitating cell-cell communication, and tightly controlling key cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, and migration…

BackgroundAccurate prediction of pregnancy outcomes in assisted reproductive technology (ART) remains a clinical challenge due to the complexity and heterogeneity of IVF/ICSI cycles. Existing models often focus on isolated treatment stages …

Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are sensors in the immune system, detecting pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). They serve as essential links between the innate and adaptive …

BackgroundThe composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) reflects dietary antioxidant intake. Preliminary studies indicate that higher CDAI levels are associated with a lower prevalence of female infertility. However, the underlying mechani…

BackgroundEndometrial peristalsis (EmP) has been considered as a new indicator for evaluating endometrial receptivity and is associated with embryo implantation rate and successful pregnancy rate. However, EmP remains understudied, inconsis…

PurposeZygotes with 2.1 pronuclei (2.1PN) present with two normal-sized pronuclei, and an additional smaller pronucleus, that is approximately smaller than two thirds the size of a normal pronucleus. It remains unclear whether the additiona…

Cellular therapies with cardiomyocytes produced from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC-CMs) offer a potential route to cardiac regeneration as a treatment for chronic ischemic heart disease. Here, we report successful long-term engraftme…

AimTo establish a meaningful standard for diagnosing ocular metastasis (OM) in menopausal breast cancer (BC) women, and explore the relationship between CA-153, CA-125, apolipoprotein A, and OM.MethodsA total of 1362 menopausal female BC pa…

PurposeTo explore whether the risks of early- or late-onset preeclampsia vary among frozen embryo transfer (FET) with different regimens for endometrial preparation and fresh embryo transfer (FreET).MethodsWe retrospectively included a tota…

This study was to evaluate whether Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) can improve the quality of embryo in patients with poor-quality embryos in the previous In-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle, which was cancelled before transfer. This…

Purpose: In this study, we analyzed the differences between hypertension patients with ocular metastasis of liver cancer and those with metastases to other sites, the correlation between history of HBV and liver cancer metastasis, and indep…

Colorectal cancer incidence and mortality have increased in recent years, with more than half of patients who died of colorectal cancer developing liver metastases. Consequently, colorectal cancer liver metastasis is the focus of clinical t…

BackgroundHormone replacement therapy (HRT) regimen was suggested to be associated with a decreased rate of livebirth and a higher risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) after frozen cleavage stage embryo transfer in women with p…

OBJECTIVE: To identify the prevalence and risk factors for chronic endometritis (CE) with tubal factors and the correlation between chronic endometritis and tubal factors among infertile populations. METHOD: A total of 52 patients with chr…

Lysine acetylation is a frequently occurring post-translational modification (PTM), emerging as an important metabolic regulatory mechanism in prokaryotes. This process is achieved enzymatically by the protein acetyltransferase (KAT) to spe…

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) biological functions and molecular mechanisms associated with pancreatic cancer (PC) remain to be poorly elucidated. We aimed to clarify the role of lncRNA LINC00261 (LINC00261) in PC and confirm its regulator…

PurposeTo explore the association between maternal physical activity (PA) and sleep quality during pregnancy, and the necessary PA level at different gestational stages to attain improved sleep quality.MethodsA total of 2443 participants we…

The AT-rich Interactive Domain 1A (ARID1A) is one of the most frequently mutated genes in gastric cancer. Here, we found that genetic variants in noncoding regions of ARID1A associated with altered protein levels by target sequencing. Notab…
