The microbiota of the female genital tract is crucial for reproductive health. This study aims to investigate the impact of the lower genital tract microbiota on in vitro fertilization and frozen embryo transfer (IVF-FET) outcomes. This stu…

BackgroundThe risk of preterm birth (PTB) is associated with maternal hyperglycemia but differs by combinations of abnormal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) values. However, the potential pathway by which maternal hyperglycemia affects PT…

BackgroundInfertility poses a substantial societal and economic burden; however, current preventive strategies are limited. Recently, the relationship between gut microbiota and infertility has garnered increasing attention. The dietary ind…

BackgroundThe impact of serum vitamin D levels on the success of assisted reproductive technology (ART) among women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has not been fully explored.MethodsThis cohort study enrolled 111 patients with PCOS w…

BackgroundThe atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to overlapping features with other conditions like Preeclampsia/HELLP syndrome and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Pregnan…

OBJECTIVES: Bladder endometriosis (BE) is an uncommon form of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). This report aims to present two cases of BE with markedly contrasting clinical histories and presentations to highlight diagnostic challeng…

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a recognized global public health problem. However, there are still limitations in the available therapeutic approaches and a lack of clinically effective drugs. Therefore, an in-depth exploration of the seco…

The causal relationship between inflammatory factors and acute pancreatitis (AP), chronic pancreatitis (CP), alcohol-induced acute pancreatitis (AAP), and alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis (ACP) remains unclear. We aimed to examine the c…

BACKGROUND: Fibrogenesis is a common pathological feature of endometriotic lesions and contributes to the development of endometriosis-associated chronic pelvic pain and infertility. TGF-β is a critical factor in the induction of fibrogenes…

BackgroundAccurate preoperative staging of endometrioma (EC) is essential for optimal treatment planning. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of intravenous contrast-enhanced ultrasound (IV-CEUS) as a potential modality f…

BackgroundCervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC) constitutes a substantial global health burden, especially in resource-limited regions. The identification of reliable biomarkers is critical for developing a clinically applicable nomogram …

BackgroundPurinergic P2 receptors, which can be divided into ionotropic P2X receptors and metabotropic P2Y receptors, mediate cellular signal transduction of purine or pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphates and diphosphate. Based on the wide e…

BackgroundThe plasma concentration of endoxifen, the active metabolite of tamoxifen, might be affected by different CYP2D6 genotypes in patients with breast cancer, but solid evidence is still lacking in Asian patients. This prospective stu…

Uterine dendritic cells (uDCs) are critical for endometrial function, yet their origin and functional roles during the pre- and post-implantation periods in the human endometrium remain largely unknown. We hypothesize that distinct uDC subs…

Increasing evidence suggests that non-coding small RNAs (miRNAs) carried by exosomes (EXOs) play important roles in the development and treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In this study, we demonstrate that PCOS mouse serum-deriv…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of chromosomal aneuploidy screening and secondary vitrification-warming on the pregnancy and neonatal outcomes of non-biopsied, previously vitrified embryos. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study include…

BackgroundOvarian sex cord-stromal tumors (OSCSTs) are a rare and heterogeneous group of ovarian neoplasms, encompassing various subtypes such as ovarian thecoma, fibroma (including cellular fibroma), and ovarian granulosa cell tumors (OGCT…

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) represents a rare and aggressive subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer with distinctive clinical and molecular characteristics. However, the identification, origin, and molecular features of the malignant …

Antibiotic use is known to contribute to the development of osteoporosis, although the exact mechanisms remain poorly understood. Metronidazole (MET), a commonly prescribed antibiotic for treating anaerobic infections, has been linked to al…

Ferredoxins (FDXs) are evolutionarily conserved iron-sulfur (Fe-S) proteins that serve as master regulators of mitochondrial redox homeostasis, governing critical processes including electron transfer, energy metabolism, Fe-S cluster biogen…

Hormonal contraceptives (HCs) are commonly prescribed medications that have had immeasurable impacts on quality of life and health of women and families globally. However, usage of exogenous hormones is not without risks, and patients often…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different endometrial treatment regimens on the outcome of frozen embryo transfer (FET). METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 1,454 FET cycles was conducted. Subgroups were str…
