BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Infertility is a pressing public health concern on a national scale and has been linked to inflammatory conditions. However, limited research has been conducted on the impact of the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII…

OBJECTIVE: We carried out this study to explore the possibility of initiating goserelin therapy during the non-menstrual period in patients diagnosed with adenomyosis. METHODS: 115 premenopausal adenomyosis patients were enrolled and divid…

Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs suppress choroidal neovascularisation (CNV), thus improving vision. However, some patients may have a poor response or develop resistance to anti-VEGF drugs. Geraniin (GE), a polyphenol i…

OBJECTIVE: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) patients have higher absolute numbers of decidual natural killer (dNK) cells with elevated intracellular IFN-γ levels leading to a pro-inflammatory cytokine milieu, which contributes to RPL pathogen…

Rhein is a natural active ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine that has attracted much attention due to its wide range of pharmacological activities. However, its clinical application is limited by low water solubility, poor oral abso…

The HOXA genes, belonging to the HOX family, encompass 11 members (HOXA1-11) and exert critical functions in early embryonic development, as well as various adult processes. Furthermore, dysregulation of HOXA genes is implicated in genetic …

A successful embryo implantation relies heavily on the receptivity of the endometrial epithelium, a process regulated by various molecular mechanisms. Evaluating endometrial receptivity in infertility patients undergoing assisted reproducti…

BACKGROUND: The objective of this research was to elucidate the association between the length of infertility and the outcomes of intrauterine insemination (IUI) in women of varying ages - a topic that has been the subject of investigation …

The most common epigenetic modification of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) is N6-methyladenosine (m6A), which is mainly located near the 3' untranslated region of mRNAs, near the stop codons, and within internal exons. The biological effect of m6A i…

BACKGROUND: Menopause significantly impacts the immune system. Postmenopausal women are more susceptible to infection. Nonetheless, the pattern of change in peripheral white blood cell counts around the menopause remains poorly understood. …

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a commonly observed benign gynecological disease that affects the quality of life and social psychology of women of childbearing age. However, because of the unknown etiology and incidence of adenomyosis, its path…

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a multifactorial disease that seriously affects womens physical and mental health. With the advent of efficient contraception, the trend for women towards later maternity until their thirties or even …

BACKGROUND: To determine whether there is a correlation between stiffness measured by strain elastography and the severity of dysmenorrhea and to determine the value of elastography in evaluating severe dysmenorrhea in patients with adenomy…

PURPOSE: This study aims to identify the mechanism of Inhibin Subunit Beta B (INHBB), a member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family involved in the regulation of human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) decidualization in recur…

BACKGROUND: Previous studies suggested higher serum progesterone (P) levels were strongly associated with a lower clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) for in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). However, the effect of increased serum P le…

Owing to its difficulty in degrading and ease of accumulation in the body, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) has a detrimental effect on reproduction. This study aimed to examine the effect of PFOA concentration in follicular fluid during ovula…

RESEARCH QUESTION: To investigate the effects of two protocols (hormone replacement therapy (HRT) alone or in combination with tamoxifen) on the endometrium and pregnancy outcome of patients with thin endometrium in frozen-thawed embryo tra…

OBJECTIVE: To study biomarkers to develop a novel diagnosis model for endometriosis and validate it using clinical samples. DESIGN: We used publicly available data sets and weighted gene coexpression network analysis to identify differenti…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Does iron overload in patients with endometriosis affect ovarian function? Can a method be developed to visually reflect this? DESIGN: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) R2* was used to evaluate the correlation between iro…

Abstract China’s “three-child policy” in response to population ageing has cast safeguarding perinatal health an urgent priority, whereas previous research seldom explored the pregnancy-related cardiovascular and haematological diseases. H…

BACKGROUND: Successful embryo implantation requires the attachment of a blastocyst to the receptive endometrial epithelium, which was disturbed in the women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). Endometrial β3-integrin was the most imp…

This study aimed to assess the effects of GH adjuvant therapy on the cumulative live birth rate in patients with poor embryo quality and to determine the characteristics of patients who are more responsive to GH. A retrospective cohort stud…

BACKGROUND: Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) usually affects young women of childbearing age. After treatment for GTD, 86% of women wish to achieve pregnancy. On account of the impacts of GTD and treatments as well as patient anxiety…

The absence of clinically objective methods to evaluate adenomyosis-associated pain and the poor understanding of its pathophysiology lead to treatment limitations. We conducted a resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging study wi…

Endometrial receptivity damage caused by impaired decidualization may be one of the mechanisms of infertility in endometriosis (EMs). Our previous study demonstrated that Calpain-7 (CAPN7) is abnormally overexpressed in EMs. Whether CAPN7 a…
