Endometriosis is a chronic disease that jeopardises the quality of life of about 10% of women. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression, function, regulatory mechanism, and relationship with immune cell infiltration of PNMA2 …

BACKGROUND: Vitamins, as essential trace organic compounds for the human body, are crucial substances in the maintenance of normal reproductive function. Nevertheless, the effects of vitamins on the activation of primordial follicles and th…

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) is a rare congenital genitourinary abnormality defined by uterine didelphys, obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral urological anomalies. Accurate diagnosis and prompt commencement of therapy can be …

BACKGROUND: Exposure to metal could impact women's depression risk. However, the connection and mechanisms between metalloestrogens exposure and depression are still not fully understood. We aim to explore the associations between metalloes…

BACKGROUND: Primordial follicle activation is vital for the reproduction of women with advanced age and premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). But there is a lack of effective and safe therapeutic options to activate their primordial follic…

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics, treatment strategies, and prognosis of cervical clear cell carcinoma (CCCC) in patients not exposed to diethylstilbestrol in utero. METHODS: The patien…

PURPOSE: Can small RNA derived from embryos in conditioned embryo culture medium (ECM) influence embryo implantation? METHODS: We employed small RNA sequencing to investigate the expression profiles of transfer RNA-derived small RNA (tsRNA…

OBJECTIVE: This paper uses health economics methods to discuss the cost-effectiveness value of long protocol and antagonist protocol for in vitro fertilisation and embryo transfer (ET) in the Chinese population. DESIGN: Health economic eva…

Although several studies have reported that high maternal BMI could influence the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) in fresh embryo transfer cycles, the association of BMI with CLBR remains unclear in patients that completed IVF treatment. …

BACKGROUND: Repeated cryopreservation of embryos should occasionally be considered when embryos were not suitable for transfer. The effect of re-cryopreservation on embryos remains contentious. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study aime…

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are debilitating gynecological conditions that severely affect the quality of life of women. Traditional diagnostic and treatment methods, including laparoscopic surgery and hormonal therapy, face significant l…

IMPORTANCE: Fertility status is a marker for future health, and infertility has been associated with risk for later cancer and diabetes, but associations with midlife cardiovascular health (CVH) in female individuals remain understudied. O…

Uterine myomas are the most common pelvic tumors in women, which can lead to abnormal uterine bleeding, abdominal pain, pelvic compression symptoms, infertility, or adverse pregnancy. In this article, we provide a dataset named uterine myom…

RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the metabolic characteristics of follicular fluid in patients with ovarian endometriosis undergoing IVF? DESIGN: This was an exploratory cohort study on endometriosis. In total, 19 infertile patients with ovaria…

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a highly effective treatment for infertility; however, it poses challenges for women with decreased ovarian reserve (DOR). Despite the importance of understanding the impact of DOR on IVF outcomes, limited re…

OBJECTIVES: The annual prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is increasing, and the lack of effective treatments imposes a substantial burden on both patients and society. The formation of nasal polyps in patients with CRS is closely r…

PURPOSE: To construct a new clinical staging system including the number of lymph node metastases to supplement the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging for the prognosis of endometrial carcinoma patients. M…

Ovarian organoids are essential in female reproductive medicine, enhancing our understanding of ovarian diseases and improving treatments, which benefits women's health. Constructing ovarian organoids involves two main processes: differenti…

The ovary is one of the first organs to show overt signs of aging in the human body, and ovarian aging is associated with a loss of gamete quality and quantity. The age-dependent decline in ovarian function contributes to infertility and an…

Endometriosis seriously affects 6-10 % of reproductive women globally and poses significant clinical challenges. The process of ectopic endometrial cell colonization shares similarities with cancer, and a dysfunctional immune microenvironme…

BACKGROUND: The global prevalence of infertility is 9%, with male factors potentially accounting for 40% to 60% of cases. Conventional treatments can be ineffective, invasive, costly, and linked to adverse effects and high risks. Previous s…

PURPOSE: With urbanization and industrialization process accelerated, humans are exposed more and more trace elements. This study aimed to explore the potential associations of trace elements with the outcomes of in vitro fertilization embr…

Mifepristone, a progesterone receptor antagonist, was initially used to terminate early pregnancy. As scientific research advanced, it emerged to be effective in the treatment of various tumors and tumor-like conditions such as endometriosi…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the cumulative outcomes and influencing factors of patients with discrepancies between age and Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels in the early follicular phase prolonged protocol. METHODS: A total of 1282 cycles of i…

Tryptophan (TRP) and its indole metabolites exhibit numerous biological effects, especially their antioxidant properties. This study used untargeted metabolomics in conjunction with targeted metabolomics to investigate the differential expr…
