BACKGROUND: Gynecologic neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) are rare, highly aggressive malignancies with early metastatic potential and limited evidence to guide optimal management across different primary sites. AIMS: To characterize the cl…

BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the effects of different ovulation trigger strategies on pregnancy outcomes in letrozole-stimulated and modified natural frozen–thawed embryo transfer (L-FET and mNC-FET) cycles. METHODS: A total of 2053 eli…

BACKGROUND: Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) is a non-invasive therapy that combines low-frequency neurostimulation with the application of acupoints. Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of TEAS for post-oper…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation of the ovaries. This disorder of the immune microenvironment is closely related to abnormal follicular development and ovulation disorders. This…

INTRODUCTION: Luteinizing hormone (LH) is critical for follicular development and IVF pregnancy outcomes, but evidence linking trigger-day serum LH levels to IVF-ET outcomes in overweight patients is scarce. This study investigated the impa…

BACKGROUND: While chemotherapy is central to gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) management, concerns over toxicity and resistance have renewed interest in hysterectomy. This study evaluated outcomes of patients treated with hysterectom…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to analyze the effect of progesterone (P) levels on the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger day and the progesterone on hCG day-to-basal progesterone (PhCG/Pbasal) ratio on pregnancy outcomes in patients w…

PURPOSE: This study was designed to evaluate the effects of dual trigger (GnRH agonist and hCG) compared with hCG trigger alone on oocyte quality, embryo development, and pregnancy outcomes in elderly women (aged≥35 years) who underwent IVF…

ObjectivesAcute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas, and the prognosis of severe AP (SAP) is poor. The study aimed to identify promising biomarkers for predicting the occurrence and survival outcome of SAP patients.…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous gynecological endocrine disorder linked to immunity. Cangfu Daotan Decoction (CFDT), a classic Chinese medicine prescription, is particularly effective in treating PCOS, specif…

BACKGROUND: In our previous investigation, we revealed a significant increase in the expression of microRNA-6881-3p (miR-6881-3p) in follicular fluid granulosa cells (GCs) from women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) compared to those w…

INTRODUCTION: The relationships between the outcome of frozen-thaw embryo transfer (FET) cycle and endometrial compaction were not quite consistent. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between the outcome of FET cycle and endometrial co…

INTRODUCTION: Laser-assisted hatching (LAH) is a commonly used adjunct technique; however, its effectiveness has not been fully established. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the effects of LAH on pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer …

BACKGROUND: Despite a large number of studies on the selection of trigger drugs, it remains unclear whether the dual trigger with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist, compared to the trigger …

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that frozen embryo transfer (FET) resulted in increased live birth rates (LBR) and reduced the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) than did fresh embryo transfer in women with polycystic …

BACKGROUND: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist(GnRH-ant) has been shown to have a negative effect on endometrial receptivity. Therefore, the use of lower doses of GnRH-ant during controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) may improve endom…

BACKGROUND: The fertility of females with advanced age declines with aging. Therefore, for medical and social reasons, it is important to establish mechanisms to protect and improve the fertility of such populations. With widespread use of …

OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of the study was to assess traditional Chinese formula DKP supplementation in terms of efficacy and safety on reproductive outcomes of expected poor ovarian responder (POR, POSEIDON Group 4) undergoing in vi…

Obesity exerts negative effects on the metabolic homeostasis of cells in various tissues, but how it influences ovum metabolism is not fully understood. Previous studies demonstrate that oocyte genes that regulate oxidative stress, lipid me…
