PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a random forest (RF) model in predicting clinical pregnancy outcomes from intrauterine insemination (IUI) and identifying significant factors affecting IUI pregnancy in a large Chin…

Abstract Aims Observational studies have reported an association between dietary factors and endometriosis, but the causality remains unknown. The study aimed to evaluate the potential causal effect of dietary factors on endometriosis. Meth…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most prevalent endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, and presents a significant challenge to the global population. This review provides comprehensive evidence of interventions, including f…

INTRODUCTION: The microbial community plays a crucial role in the pathological microenvironment. However, the structure of the microbial community within endometriotic lesions and its impact on the microenvironment is still limited. METHOD…

BACKGROUND: The effects of female chromosomal polymorphisms (FCPs) on various aspects of reproductive health have been investigated, yet the findings are frequently inconsistent. This study aims to clarify the role of FCPs on the outcomes o…

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to analyze the effect of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) on different types of adenomyosis (AM) based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) classification. METHODS: A total of 206 AM patients who underwent HIFU b…

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The objective was to investigate the correlation between endogenous vaginal microecological alterations and female pelvic organ prolapse (POP). METHODS: Patients who underwent vaginal hysterectomy were retrospe…

BACKGROUND: Non-invasive chromosome screening (NICS) and trophectoderm biopsy preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (TE-PGT) were both applied for embryo ploidy detection, However, the cumulative live birth rates (CLBR) of NICS and…

BACKGROUND: Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) is a prevalent cause of respiratory failure and death among newborns, and prompt diagnosis is imperative. Historically, diagnosis of NRDS relied mostly on typical clinical manifestat…

OBJECTIVE: The incidence of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is increasing annually. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic mechanisms of Yikang Decoction (YKD) in the treatment of PCOS through the integration of GEO datasets, netwo…

AIMS: Endometriosis is characterized by an abnormal immune microenvironment. Despite the extensive use of immune therapies, the application of immune checkpoint inhibitors in endometriosis lacks confidence due to the instability of preclini…

BACKGROUND: Cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) is considered as the most important endpoint for assessing the probability of having a baby in a complete in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) treatment cycle. Many…

PURPOSE: The study aimed to investigate the potential influence of COVID-19 infection on embryo implantation and early development in women undergoing frozen embryo transfer (FET), with a specific focus on infections occurring at different …

Given the high concentration of iron in the micro-environment of ovarian endometriosis, it is plausible to hypothesize that ectopic endometrial cells may be more susceptible to undergoing ferroptosis. Manipulation of ferroptosis has been ex…

BACKGROUND: Our previous studies have shown that lipoxin A4 (LXA4) can serve as a potential biomarker for assessing the efficacy of exercise therapy in knee osteoarthritis (KOA), and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) may play a crucial ro…

Ferroptosis, caused by disorders of iron metabolism, plays a critical role in various diseases, making the regulation of iron metabolism essential for tissue repair. In our analysis of degenerated intervertebral disc tissue, we observe a po…

BACKGROUND: Current research on amniotic fluid (AF) microbiota yields contradictory data, necessitating an accurate, comprehensive, and scientifically rigorous evaluation. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to characterise the microbial features …

This research has suggested a link between major depressive disorder (MDD) and infertility, with interleukin-18 (IL-18) being proposed as a potential mediator due to its connections to both conditions. A Mendelian randomization (MR) approac…

Background/Objectives: This paper undertakes an investigation into the implications of premature progesterone rise (PPR) on pregnancy outcomes in freeze-all strategy cycles. Methods: A retrospective cohort study encompassing 675 IVF/ICSI cy…

BACKGROUND: Primary vaginal cancer is a rare condition. Some studies have revealed an increased risk of vaginal cancer among patients who have undergone hysterectomy for premalignant and malignant cervical disease. However, there is limited…

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is rising worldwide and leading to significant health issues and financial strain for patients. Traditional treatments for IVDD can alleviate pain but do not reverse disease progression, and surgical …

BACKGROUND: Observational data indicates a connection between emotional discomfort, such as anxiety and depression, and uterine fibroids (UFs). However, additional investigation is required to establish the causal relationship between them.…

BACKGROUND: Previous research has demonstrated that exposure to individual heavy metals elevates the incidence rate of congenital heart defects (CHDs). However, there is a paucity of data concerning the relationship between combined exposur…

The levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) is an established, long-acting contraceptive option. With the widespread use of the LNG-IUS, drug-reported adverse events (AEs) have also garnered significant attention. In this stu…
