Small RNAs (also referred to as small noncoding RNAs, sncRNA) are defined as polymeric ribonucleic acid molecules that are less than 200 nucleotides in length and serve a variety of essential functions within cells. Small RNA species includ…

Abstract Background Endometriosis frequently results in pain and infertility. While conservative surgery offers some relief, it often falls short of ensuring satisfactory pregnancy outcomes. Adjuvant GnRH-a is administered post-surgery to m…

Telocytes are a new type of interstitial cell with a diverse morphology and important functions, such as mechanical support, signal transduction, immune regulation, and tissue repair. In this paper, the origin and physiological and patholog…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis, which is a common disease affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age, usually causes dysmenorrhea and infertility, thus seriously harming the patients' physical and mental health. However, there is a …

BACKGROUND: Infertility is estimated to occur in 1 out of every 4-7 couples. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), a type of assisted reproduction introduced in 1992, has been used across the world for almost all indications of infertili…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the cycle characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) using fixed versus degressive doses of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) in conjunction with letrozole (LE) in infertile w…

OBJECTIVE: Our study aimed to elucidate the effect of PAI-1 (Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1) and t-PA (Tissue-type Plasminogen Activator) in tissue remodeling in nasal polyps patients. METHODS: Samples were streamed as early Nasal Polyp…

BackgroundA series of randomized controlled trials have investigated the efficacy and safety of different timings of interventions and methods of intervention. However, the optimal treatment strategy is not yet clear.MethodsWe searched PubM…

BACKGROUND: Worldwide, frozen embryo transfer (FET) has become a new strategy for the treatment of infertility. The success of FET is closely related to endometrial receptivity. Does uterine artery Doppler during the implantation window pre…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify the risk factors for subchorionic hematoma (SCH) in the first trimester of in vitro fertilization (IVF) twin pregnancies and investigate the impact of SCH on pregnancy outcomes. STUDY DESIGN: A prosp…

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas. Iron is an essential element for life and is involved in many metabolic processes. Ferroptosis is a type of regulated cell death that is triggered by iron and oxidative str…

BACKGROUND: In an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle, the embryo ends its wandering time and begins the process of implantation into the uterine cavity on the seventh day after oocyte pick-up (OPU + 7), which is closer than OPU + 5 to the t…

The aetiology behind many female reproductive disorders is poorly studied and incompletely understood despite the prevalence of such conditions and substantial burden they impose on women's lives. In light of evidence demonstrating a higher…

OBJECTIVE: To identify the optimal triage procedure for endometrial biopsies in postmenopausal women. METHODS: The clinical information of 470 postmenopausal women with endometrial biopsy results and postmenopausal bleeding (PMB) and/or tr…

Objectives: We developed ultrasound (US) image-based convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to distinguish between tubal-ovarian abscess (TOA) and ovarian endometriosis cyst (OEC). Methods: A total of 202 patients who underwent US scanning an…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs), a common gynecological disorder, adversely affects the quality of life of females. The pathogenesis of EMs has not been elucidated and the diagnostic methods for EMs have limitations. This study aimed to ide…

BACKGROUND: Previous investigations have reported that controlling nutritional (CONUT) status scores, incorporating total cholesterol (TC) and serum albumin (SA) values, and total lymphocyte (LY) counts, are reliable malignant tumor predict…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory gynecological disease defined by the presence of endometrial glands and mesenchyme outside the uterine cavity, named ectopic endometrium. Recent studies showed that endometriosis i…

Background: Diminished ovarian reserve is one of the most important causes of female infertility. In the etiology study of DOR, besides age, it is known that chromosomal abnormality, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and ovarian surgery can result…

BACKGROUND: Neuroimaging studies have confirmed that functional connectivity (FC) disruption of pain-related brain networks may contribute to the cerebral pathophysiology of primary dysmenorrhea (PDM). However, it remains unclear whether FC…

INTRODUCTION: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a group of chronic conscious fatigue that is not easily relieved by rest and is accompanied by corresponding physiological dysfunction and psychological symptoms. …

BACKGROUP: Frozen-thawed embryo transfer is rising worldwide. One adverse effect of programmed frozen embryo transfer (FET) reported in some studies is an increased risk of adverse obstetric and perinatal outcomes. Meanwhile, body mass inde…

PURPOSE: To investigate adverse events and medical errors, as well as their possible risk factors, of combined oral contraceptives and progestins used in patients with endometriosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Reports between January 1, 2014 an…
