ObjectiveTo determine whether blood cadmium levels are associated with the likelihood of developing human papillomavirus infection in women aged 20-59 years.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, we analyzed data from 7815 women in the 2005-…

OBJECTIVE: To identify if there is a high-risk group for chronic endometritis (CE) in infertile women. METHODS: A retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted on 209 infertile women with CE and 843 women without. Both univariate …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the timing of adenomyomectomy within the menstrual cycle influences outcomes in patients with adenomyosis, and to assess whether surgery performed during the secretory phase offers clinical advantages over the…

Although per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure has been linked to endometriosis, this association remains controversial, and the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to investigate this relationship and explore …

BACKGROUND: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a global public health issue, due to their high prevalence and potential impact on pregnancy outcome and fetal health. The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence of ST…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of transcervical resection of the septum (TCRS) on reproductive outcomes in women of reproductive age with two types of uterine septa. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, we eval…

RNF144 family proteins, including RNF144A and RNF144B, members of the RING-between-RING domain-containing ubiquitin E3 ligase family, serve as critical regulators of protein ubiquitination. Despite increasing research attention in recent ye…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture combined with Chinese herbs versus Chinese herbs alone in treating uterine fibroids. METHODS: A literature search of eight databases identified nin…

The effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection persist months and years after recovery. We conducted an online survey to assess the health condition of convalescents approximately 5 months following th…

INTRODUCTION: Menstrual blood-derived stem cells (MenSCs) are vital in treating many degenerative and traumatic disorders. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain obscure in MenSCs-treating spinal cord injury (SCI) rats. METHOD…

Uterine peristalsis is essential for gamete transport and embryo implantation. It shares the characteristics of spontaneity, rhythmicity, and directivity with gastrointestinal peristalsis. Telocytes, the "interstitial Cajal-like cells" outs…

BACKGROUND: Few studies have described the relationship between the type of infertility and live birth in patients treated with intrauterine insemination (IUI). We focused on this issue and attempted to explore it. METHODS: This retrospect…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine-related cause of infertility in women and has an unknown etiology. Studies have shown that rhamnocitrin (Rha) exhibits positive effects on the reproductive system. This study investigat…

Obtaining high-quality embryos is one of the key factors to improve the clinical pregnancy rate of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). So far, the clinical evaluation of embryo quality depends on embryo morphology. However, the clinic…

In humans, the maternal endometrium participates in the physical and physiological interaction with the blastocyst to begin implantation. A bidirectional crosstalk is critical for normal implantation and then a successful pregnancy. While s…

BACKGROUND: Balloon dilation is a commonly used minimally invasive endourological treatment of ureteral stricture, but the postoperative recurrence rate is relatively high. And factors contributing to recurrence after treatment are poorly u…

OBJECTIVE: It has been increasingly appreciated that G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1) mediates both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory response of estrogen. It is also involved in some rapid vascular effects of aldosterone i…

OBJECTIVE: To examine potential risk factors associated with the success rate following fallopian tube recanalization (FTR) in infertile women with obstruction of the proximal fallopian tube. METHODS: We retrospectively studied patients wh…

Metabolic profile of follicular fluid (FF) has been investigated to look for biomarkers for oocyte quality. Resolvin E1 (RvE1), a potent pro-resolving mediator, was reported to have protective action in cell function. The study aimed to exa…

At the late 1940s, 17β-HSD1 was discovered as the first member of the 17β-HSD family with its gene cloned. The three-dimensional structure of human 17β-HSD1 is the first example of any human steroid converting enzyme. The human enzyme's str…

Although pains of various kinds top the list of complaints from women with endometriosis and are the most debilitating of the disease, little is known about the mechanism/mechanisms of endometriosis-associated pains. To test the hypothesis …

Quantitation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can provide information on the stage of a malignancy, onset of disease progression and response to therapy. In an effort to more accurately quantitate CTCs, we have synthesized fluorescent conj…
