PURPOSE: To 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). METHODS: We retrospectively included …
OBJECTIVE: A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the overall pregnancy outcomes after uterus-sparing operative treatment in patients with adenomyosis (AD). DATA SOURCES: We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase …
BACKGROUND: To explore the pathogen distribution in Chinese females with vaginitis. METHODS: This retrospective study included Chinese females with vaginitis admitted at the outpatient department of the Gynecology Clinic of the Second Affi…
BACKGROUND: During the human menstrual cycle and pregnancy, the endometrium undergoes a series of dynamic remodeling processes to adapt to physiological changes. Insufficient endometrial remodeling, characterized by inadequate endometrial p…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is recognized as a complex gynecological disorder that can cause severe pain and infertility, affecting 6-10% of all reproductive-aged women. Endometriosis is a condition in which endometrial tissue, which normally…
tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are derived from tRNA and include tRNA halves (tiRNAs) and tRNA fragments (tRFs). tsRNAs have been implicated in a variety of important biological functions, such as cell growth, transcriptional regulation, …
STUDY QUESTION: Can whole exome sequencing (WES) followed by trio bioinformatics analysis identify novel pathogenic genetic causes of first trimester euploid miscarriage? SUMMARY ANSWER: We identified genetic variants in six candidate gene…

As part of the Human Cell Atlas Initiative, our goal is to generate single-cell transcriptomics (single-cell RNA sequencing [scRNA-seq], 86,708 cells) and regulatory (single-cell assay on transposase accessible chromatin sequencing [scATAC-…
BACKGROUND: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a disease associated with endometrial receptivity dysfunction. Retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARα) is an important protein in many biological processes, such as differentiation and develop…
BACKGROUND: Sperm DNA is essential in embryo development. The sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI), which reflects the degree of sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF), is a crucial biomarker in evaluating the sperm quality. However, whether SDF infl…
Abnormal gene expression caused by epigenetic changes, including DNA methylation, is associated with the development and progression of endometriosis. Grainyhead-like 2 gene (GRHL2), a suppressor of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, has be…
BACKGROUND: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a type of life-threatening malignant tumor of the urinary system. IL20RB, interleukin 20 receptor subunit beta, is a cytokine receptor subunit coding gene and was initially found to pla…
(1) The accuracy of patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) in predicting ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) efficacy in ovarian cancer was tested, novel biomarkers were investigated, and whether PARPis could replace platinum-based chemother…
Uterine natural killer (uNK) cells are an immune subset located in the uterus. uNK cells have distinct tissue-specific characteristics compared to their counterparts in peripheral blood and lymphoid organs. Based on their location and the p…
Increasing evidence has revealed a close relationship between non-coding RNAs and recurrent implantation failure (RIF). However, the role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in RIF pathogenesis remains largely unknown. Microarray analyses were used…
BACKGROUND: The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol for in vitro fertilization (IVF) often leads to lower pregnancy rates compared to the GnRH agonist protocol. Decreased endometrial receptivity is one reason for the l…
BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to investigate the role of the genetic variation of glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) in the development of ovarian endometriosis and endometriosis-related primary infertility risk. METHODS: This cas…
The goal of this study was to identify genes that were differentially methylated and differentially expressed and their related signaling pathways in ovarian endometriosis tissue. First, the DNA methylation and gene expression profiles in t…
RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the mechanism of hypermethylation of runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) in the eutopic endometrium of endometriosis as biomarker in the malignant transformation of endometriosis? DESIGN: Methylation-spec…
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a member of the neurotrophin family, plays critical roles in the physiological process of oocyte mature and IVF outcomes of patients with infertility. However, the regulation of BDNF expression in t…
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of 3 treatments for cervical endometriosis. Methods Clinical data of 106 patients with cervical endometriosis treated in our center from January 2013 to March 2019 were collected and retrospective…
