OBJECTIVES: To investigate the mechanism of Angelica sinensis polysac-charide (ASP) ameliorating endometriosis (EMT) via the Kelch-like epichlorohydrin-associated protein 1 (Keap1)/nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxy…
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease in which lipid metabolic dysregulation has been increasingly implicated. However, the specific metabolic changes in ectopic lesions and stromal cells remain poorly understood. It is also uncle…
Phthalate esters (PAEs) and organophosphate esters (OPEs) are pervasive 20 environmental pollutants with endocrine-disrupting properties. Despite growing 21 evidence linking PAE/OPE exposure to female reproductive disorders, the 22 diseases…
Endometriosis is a benign yet aggressive disease characterized by enhanced proliferation and invasion of ectopic endometrial tissue. Identifying upstream regulators that co-regulate these processes will provide novel insights into endometri…
Clinical application of mesenchymal stem cells for endometrial repair has been hampered by variability in cell quality, large-scale production, and uncertainty regarding the optimal delivery route. In this study, we investigated the therape…
PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of poor ovarian response (POR) on live birth outcomes in endometriosis patients undergoing IVF/ICSI-ET, despite the expected association between reduced oocyte yield and poorer prognosis. METHODS: Patients w…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the different characteristics and maternal-neonatal outcomes of twin and singleton pregnancies complicated by placenta accrete spectrum (PAS). METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 783 singleton and 10…
STUDY QUESTION: What are the impacts of different male infertility factors on embryological, cumulative pregnancy and neonatal outcomes of IVF/ICSI cycles? SUMMARY ANSWER: Some severe male infertility factors, i.e. severe oligoasthenozoosp…
BACKGROUND: The risk of ectopic pregnancy (EP) is known to increase with assisted reproductive technology (ART), but the specific risk factors are unclear. METHODS: We screened 6872 cycles for clinical data that met our study's inclusion c…
BACKGROUND: Epidermal cysts are benign subcutaneous masses resulting from the implantation of epithelial cells, following trauma or surgery. Giant spontaneous epidermal cysts of the labia minora are rare. To date, only 3 cases of epidermal …
BACKGROUND: For patients with nodules detected in imaging that are indeterminate for malignancy, achieving accurate, early, and non-invasive diagnosis of Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LUSC) remains a significant challenge. Therefore, we aim…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian dysfunction caused by aging restricts female reproductive capacity and causes age-related health problems. Ferroptosis is an important mode of cell death during accelerated aging. Oviductus Ranae (OR), a traditional Chin…
Ferroptosis has been increasingly implicated in adipose and muscle dysfunction, systemic metabolic disturbances, and several diseases in livestock, which necessitates effective and side-effect-free inhibition strategies. Phloretin, a dihydr…
Fertility in women decreases with age, but the molecular basis for age-related, unexplained infertility remains elusive. Here, we reveal distinct transcriptome changes in oocytes and surrounding cumulus cells from women in their mid-thirtie…
Background: Finding effective strategies and novel targets for reversing drug resistance is one of the major frontiers in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) research. Ferroptosis is participate in the malignant progression and drug resistance o…
Gastric cancer (GC) remains the foremost contributor to global cancer mortality, largely attributable to metastatic dissemination and therapeutic refractoriness. Emerging data implicate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling cascade as a pivotal regul…
PURPOSE: Hydrosalpinx reduces the pregnancy outcomes of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Tubal occlusion has been shown to improve IVF-ET success; however, the optimal timing of oocyte retrieval and the molecular changes…
Endometrial cancer (EC) is the sixth most detected cancer and the 14th most prevalent cause of cancer death in women globally, affecting 2.8% of women at some point in their lifetime1. Patients typically present with uterine-confined pathol…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of women during their reproductive years. The relationship between the severity and location of endometriosis and menstruation, ovulation, reproductive function, and mode of delive…
To evaluate whether RNA-seq-based endometrial receptivity testing (rsERT) can improve pregnancy outcomes in personalized frozen-thawed embryo transfer (pFET) during hormone replacement therapy (HRT) cycles among patients with recurrent impl…
Nuclear factor erythroid 2 (NF-E2)-related factor 3 (NFE2L3), a member of the CNC-bZIP subfamily and widely found in a variety of tissues, is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane-anchored transcription factor that can be released from the…
Over 200 different serogroups of Vibrio cholerae based on O-polysaccharide specificity have been described worldwide, including the two most important serogroups, O1 and O139. Non-O1/non-O139 V. cholerae serogroups generally do not produce …
Uterine fibroids (UFs) are the most common benign gynecologic tumors in reproductive-aged women. The typical diagnostic strategies of UFs are transvaginal ultrasonography and pathological feature, while molecular biomarkers are considered c…
To assess the effect of atosiban in pregnancy outcomes of the fresh embryo transfer (ET), the retrospective cohort study was conducted. Six hundred and eighty-nine cases (using atosiban) and 1377 age and ET cycle-matched controls were colle…
OBJECTIVE: We compared the pregnancy and perinatal outcomes between expanded blastocysts vitrified on D5 versus D6 following single frozen blastocyst transfer. METHODS: Clinical data on 7,606 cycles of frozen-thawed blastocyst implantation…
