BackgroundThis retrospective study aimed to compare the live birth rate and clinical pregnancy rate in natural cycle-frozen-thawed embryo transfer (NC-FET) with oral dydrogesterone as luteal phase support or without any drugs.MethodRetrospe…
PURPOSE: To evaluate changes in immunoexpression of proteins involved in epigenetic regulation in the uterus in female ICR mice following neonatal exposure to tamoxifen. METHODS: Thirty-two neonatal mice were randomly assigned to 2 groups:…
BACKGROUND: Cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) exhibits profound spatial heterogeneity in evolutionary trajectories across distinct tumour foci, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. METHODS: In this study, we perfor…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 5 Group A Member 1 (NR5A1, encoding SF-1) hypomethylation in endometriosis (EMs) and to evaluate the effects of Luoshi Neiyi Prescription (LSNYP…
BACKGROUND: This study investigates the clinical characteristics, treatment strategies, and prognosis of ovarian leiomyoma, with the goal of enhancing diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic outcomes for this rare condition. METHODS: We retrosp…
BACKGROUND: Environmental exposure to trace and heavy metals may influence female fertility, yet their impact on assisted reproductive outcomes remains poorly defined. Maternal diet can potentially modulate metal-related toxicity by influen…
BACKGROUND: Uterine leiomyomas represent the most frequent benign pelvic tumors in women. Although various degenerative changes can occur, the complete cystic transformation of a submucosal leiomyoma-resulting in a large, fluid-filled intra…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian endometrioma (OMA) is the most prevalent form of endometriosis. Conservative surgical management of the condition is associated with a relatively high recurrence rate, the degree of which is potentially linked to disease…
Cancer can educate platelets by altering transcriptome profiles. However, the exact education mechanism remains unclear, and the variability of tumor-educated platelet (TEP) transcriptome has not been investigated. In this study, we aimed t…
Urinary tract fistulas (UTFs) are abnormal connections between the urinary tract and adjacent structures such as the bowel, vagina, or blood vessels. UTFs result in significant personal, social, and financial challenges to patients worldwid…
Dichloroacetate (DCA), as a pan-inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and mitochondrial function. DCA decreases lactic acid synthesis, enhances mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, and reg…
BACKGROUND: The Cardiometabolic Index (CMI), a composite marker integrating lipid profiles (triglycerides-to-HDL-C ratio) and abdominal obesity (waist-to-height ratio), we aimed to assess its association with gallstone prevalence. METHODS:…
Isothermal, enzyme-free amplification techniques, such as the hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA), have gained significant attention for mRNA analysis. Despite their potential, these methods still face ch…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between endometriosis (EMs) severity and placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) risk in the subsequent pregnancy. METHOD: Clinical records of 2,142 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for EMs at F…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease and a major contributor to dysmenorrhea that substantially reduces the quality of life of the affected. Dienogest has emerged as a promising drug for treating adenomyosis. A few syst…
Study questionDoes the type of embryo culture medium affect the birthweight of newborns conceived by ART?Summary answerAfter fresh embryo transfers, singleton newborns in the G5 and HTF groups exhibited higher birthweight z-scores and incre…
STUDY QUESTION: Is there an association between changes in endometrial thickness (EMT) following progesterone administration and pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfers (FETs) at Day 3 (D3) and blastocyst stages? SUMMARY ANSWE…

PURPOSE: Endometriosis has been hypothesized to increase the risk of preeclampsia (PE) and eclampsia, although the exact mechanism of this relationship is not clear. This study aimed to further explore the potential association between endo…
Background: The apoptosis affected the prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD); we aimed to explore the potential pathogenesis of high-risk patients based on the apoptosis features. Method: The RNA-seq data of patients and apoptosis genes were used …
This study aims to evaluate whether laparoscopic surgery enhances health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in endometriosis patients, utilizing the Endometriosis Health Profile-30 (EHP-30) questionnaire. The study also explores the correlatio…
Leiomyomas (LM) and adenomyosis (AM) are common gynecological diseases with high incidence rates and an increasing trend of affecting younger women. Accurate detection and differentiation of LM and AM in ultrasound images are crucial for se…
STUDY QUESTION: Can harmine mitigate endometriosis by modulating oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) suppression and macrophage polarization? SUMMARY ANSWER: Harmine induces apoptosis in endometriotic lesions by inhibiting OXPHOS while also…
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the effect of laparoscopic procedures integrated with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), specifically aimed at enhancing blood flow and alleviating blood stasis, on oxidative stress levels in individuals with endome…
PURPOSE: Emerging evidence suggests that an abnormal endometrial microbiota may be a potential factor contributing to recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). This study aimed to characterize the endometrial microbiota in patients with RPL and to ex…
