BackgroundPrevious reports have demonstrated two thiazolidione derivatives (H2-60 and H2-81) can robustly inhibit the planktonic growth and biofilm formation of S. epidermidis and S. aureus by targeting the histidine kinase YycG. Whereas th…

In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is one of the effective methods to treat female infertility. Poor endometrial receptivity (ER) is an important factor leading to embryo implantation dysfunction, which can reduce pregnancy…

PurposeTo investigate the impact of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccination on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes.Patients and methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 2185 patients undergoing fresh IVF cycles from June 1st to Septembe…

Chemoresistance is the leading cause of poor prognosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC); however, promising biomarkers to identify patients for stratified chemotherapy are lacking. Sideroflexin 3 (SFXN3) is an important mitoc…

BackgroundSome concern has been expressed regarding the negative effects of low-level ionizing radiation exposure in the context of radiological evaluation prior to IVF/ICSI treatment, but the available evidence is limited and conflicting. …

The pathogenesis of preeclampsia (PE) is complex and placental internal homeostasis is regulated by cellular autophagy. However, there are fewer studies related to the role of placental autophagy in the pathogenesis of PE. The GSE75010 and …

AimTo investigate the predictive value of C-reactive protein (CRP) to serum albumin (ALB) ratio in the severity and prognosis of acute pancreatitis (AP), and compare the predictive value of the CRP/ALB ratio with the Ranson score, modified …

PurposeThe aim of this study is to evaluate the utility of magnetization transfer (MT) imaging in the study of normal uterus and common uterine lesions.MethodsThis prospective study enrolled 160 consecutive patients with suspected uterine l…

The aim is to explore the protective effects of Puerarin on radiation-induced vascular endothelial cell damage and its underlying mechanism. The apoptosis and DNA damage of Human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) exposed to radi…

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis, and most patients experience recurrence after primary treatment. Currently, there is no standard treatment option for recurrent OCCC. Herein, we re…

BackgroundThe effect of premature progesterone elevation on assisted reproductive technology has been debated. In different ovarian stimulation protocols, ovarian responses, and embryos transferred, conflicting results reside regarding the …

The oral microbiome, associated with both oral disease and systemic disease, is in dynamic status along the whole life, and many factors including maternal microbiomes could impact the oral microbiome. While fewer studies have been conducte…

Sepsis-induced inflammatory lung injury is a key factor causing failure of the lungs and other organs, as well as death, during sepsis. In the present study, a caecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis model was established to inves…

BackgroundThe emerging epitranscriptome plays an essential role in female fertility. As the most prevalent internal mRNA modification, N6-methyladenine (m6A) methylation regulate mRNA fate and translational efficiency. However, whether m6A …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association of primary infertility with subsequent bilateral oophorectomy and hysterectomy, using a population-based cohort of women with primary infertility and age-matched women in a referent group. METHODS: Th…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a benign, but potential metastatic, gynecological disease. Our current study aims to examine whether all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) inhibits the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of endometriotic …

BackgroundIt has been consistently shown in several meta-analyses that infants born after ART have an excess of birth defects compared with those after spontaneous conception, however, the prevalence of birth defects among ART offspring in …

Emerging evidence suggests that children conceived through assisted reproductive technology (ART) have a higher risk of congenital heart defects (CHDs) even when there is no family history. De novo mutation (DNM) is a well-known cause of sp…
