BACKGROUND: The necessity of monitoring luteal endocrine functions in in vitro fertilization- embryo transfer (IVF-ET) remains uncertain. Specifically, the significance of luteal phase estradiol (E2) levels is a matter of debate in current …
Endometriosis (EMS) is known to be closely associated with inflammation. We evaluate the possible mechanism linking the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway with pyroptosis and inflammation in EMS. We collected 30 patients undergoing laparoscopic for…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer (OV) is the second most prevalent gynecological tumor. Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) refers to two or more spontaneous abortions. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying both OV and RPL remain poorly underst…
STUDY QUESTION: What was the performance of different pretreatment prediction models for IVF, which were developed based on UK/US population (McLernon 2016 model, Luke model, Dhillon model, and McLernon 2022 model), in wider populations? S…
BACKGROUND: To explore the incidence of chronic endometritis (CE) in patients with infertility and different forms of adenomyosis and analyze potential high-risk factors for infection. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included 154 …
The occurrence of ovarian cancer (OC) is a major factor in women's mortality rates. Despite progress in medical treatments, like new drugs targeting homologous recombination deficiency, survival rates for OC patients are still not ideal. Th…
While the mechanisms by which tea consumption hinders iron absorption are well understood, tea-related anemia usually stems from prolonged and excessive intake, which obstructs iron absorption and depletes the body's iron reserves. Conseque…
PURPOSE: Since the unexplained in vitro fertilization failure occurs frequently, it is of great importance and clinical value to identify potential underlying predictors. This study aimed to explore whether the percentage of sperm with a sm…
BACKGROUND: Growth hormone (GH) could improve the outcomes of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in patients with decreased ovarian reserve (DOR), but which age group will benefit the most has remained controversial. This s…
PURPOSES: The mediating effect of social support on the relationship between intimacy and perceived partner responsiveness (PPR) was examined among the endometriosis women of childbearing age. METHOD: 201 endometriosis (EM) women of childb…
Endometriosis is characterized by the ectopic proliferation of endometrial cells, posing considerable diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Our study investigates AGPAT4's involvement in endometriosis pathogenesis, aiming to unveil new the…
BackgroundReproductive tract infections (RTIs) represent a critical public health concern impacting women's health, particularly pronounced in developing countries. We aim to investigates the prevalence of self-reported RTI symptoms in wome…
Reproductive system diseases have become a major health challenge facing humans, so extensive investigations are needed to understand their complex pathogenesis and summarize effective treatments. In the study of reproductive diseases, mice…
Severe endometrium damage causes pathological conditions such as thin endometrium and intrauterine adhesion, resulting in uterine factor infertility. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy is a promising strategy in endometrial repair; yet, ex…
With the development and progress of society, people's average life expectancy has increased, and relevant literature reports that the number of postmenopausal women in China continues to increase. With lifespans extended, the transition pe…
BACKGROUND: Intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) are a common illness of the uterine cavity. Endometrial fibrosis is the main pathological feature. In addition to a high recurrence rate, patients with severe IUAs have a low pregnancy rate. However…
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Bushen Wenyang Huayu Decoction (BWHD) is a traditional Chinese medicine for tonifying kidney and warming Yang, thereby resolving blood stasis and relieving pain. BWHD can significantly improve the clinical sy…
This study used a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to investigate the causal relationship between genetically predicted endometriosis (EMS) and breast cancer risk. A total of 122,977 cases and 105,974 controls were included in the anal…
Abstract This study used a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to investigate the causal relationship between genetically predicted endometriosis (EMS) and breast cancer risk. A total of 122,977 cases and 105,974 controls were included in…
BACKGROUND: Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) treated with either high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation (HIFU-a) or uterine artery embolization (UAE) combined with ultrasound-guided dilation and curettage (USg-D&C) was effective. However, …
PURPOSE: Optimal serological biomarkers have been absent for the early diagnosis of endometrial cancer, to date. In this study, we aimed to define the diagnostic performances of individual and combined detection of serum cysteine protease i…
Water-based and oil-based contrast media are both widely used in clinical practice for patients receiving hysterosalpingography (HSG). However, minor controversy exists about whether the oil-based contrast medium has a superior fertility-en…
OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the improvement of symptoms and pregnancy outcomes in infertile patients with various types of adenomyosis who were treated with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between Octobe…
Ferroptosis is a novel types of regulated cell death and is widely studied in cancers and many other diseases in recent years. It is characterized by iron accumulation and intense lipid peroxidation that ultimately inducing oxidative damage…
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to identify the diagnostic value of models constructed using computed tomography-based radiomics features for discrimination of benign and early stage malignant ovarian tumors. METHODS: The imaging and clinicop…
