This study aimed to assess the effects of GH adjuvant therapy on the cumulative live birth rate in patients with poor embryo quality and to determine the characteristics of patients who are more responsive to GH. A retrospective cohort stud…

BackgroundChronic endometritis (CE) is a disease of continuous and subtle inflammation occurring in the endometrial stromal area, which is often asymptomatic or present with non-specific clinical symptoms.MethodsThis study investigated the …

Endometriosis (EMs) is a common gynecological disease with an increasing incidence in recent years. Because of the lack of specific molecular biological indicators in clinical practice, diagnosis is often delayed and the quality of life of …

OBJECTIVE: To explore a non-routine method of oocyte retrieval in patients with difficulty in obtaining oocytes via the vagina during a cycle of in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)-embryo transfer (ET). MET…

The etiology remains to be understood for endometriosis (EMS) which affected health negatively for 10% of reproductive-age women globally. Emerging studies found the associations of EMS with genital microbiota dysbiosis. However, the role o…

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Adenomyosis has recently been associated with infertility. Relief of bleeding and pain has been demonstrated with medical and surgical therapy. Less is known about reproductive outcomes after treatment. RECENT FINDINGS: …

BackgroundChronic pancreatitis (CP) is a long-term inflammatory disease of the pancreas that can be caused by various pathogenic factors. Oxidative stress (OS), which is associated with several pancreatic diseases, can induce pancreatic ste…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is a relapsing and estrogen-dependent disease. For endometriosis such as deep endometriosis and ovarian endometrioid cysts, surgery is the most effective treatment. Long-term follow-up showed that the recurre…

Inflammatory responses in the peritoneum contribute to peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritoneal fibrosis. Results of our previous study showed that increased microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1-mediated production of prostaglandin E…

The reduction in the quantity and quality of oocytes is the major factor affecting fertility in women with advanced age, who tend to experience delayed childbearing and declined fertility rate. However, effective therapeutic strategies to c…

BackgroundPremature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a refractory disease that seriously affects the reproductive health of women and is increasing in incidence and prevalence globally. There is enormous demand to improve fertility in women w…

BackgroundWith the increasing use of frozen embryo transfer (FET), the best endometrial preparation protocol is continuously being discussed. The hormone replacement therapy (HRT) cycle and letrozole-induced ovulation (L-OI) cycle are avail…

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) causes menstrual disturbance and infertility. There is no effective treatment available for moderate to severe IUA cases. Stem cell-based therapy has been investigated for treating IUA but is limited in clinical …

BACKGROUND: Whether gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) pretreatment before transferring frozen-thawed embryos (FETs) could improve the clinical outcome of adenomyosis-associated infertile patients with 56 cm3 ≤ uterine volume …

Endometriosis (EMs) is a common benign gynecological disease in women of childbearing age, which usually causes pelvic pain, secondary dysmenorrhea, and infertility. EMs has been linked to recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) in epidemiological d…

AimThin endometrium remains a severe clinical challenge with no effective therapy to date. We aimed at exploring the role and molecular mechanism of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell- (hucMSC-) derived exosomes (hucMSC-Ex) in repai…

Objectives: In this research, we aim to explore the bioinformatic mechanism of infertile endometriosis in order to identify new treatment targets and molecular mechanism. Methods: The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was used to downl…

Three patients with abnormal uterine bleeding underwent uncomplicated minimally invasive total hysterectomy with routine cystoscopy. At time of cystoscopy, the patients had unexpected findings of bladder masses and postoperatively were expe…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To identify intraoperative factors during laparoscopic hysterectomy associated with postoperative opioid use and increased pain scores during the acute postoperative period. METHODS: This is a prospective survey-…

MethodsThis study was performed to retrospectively analyze clinical cases of 523 CE patients from January 2018 to June 2020 that were confirmed by hysteroscopy before in vitro fertilization. Based on manifestations of CE under hysteroscopy,…

Breast cancer is one of the most deadly malignancies in women worldwide. Salvia miltiorrhiza, a perennial plant that belongs to the genus Salvia, has long been used in the management of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The main …

BackgroundThe normal physiological function of LH requires a certain concentration range, but because of pituitary desensitization, even on the day of HCG, endogenous levels of LH are low in the follicular-phase long protocol. Therefore, ou…

The vagina contains at least a billion microbial cells, dominated by lactobacilli. Here we perform metagenomic shotgun sequencing on cervical and fecal samples from a cohort of 516 Chinese women of reproductive age, as well as cervical, fec…

ObjectiveThin endometrium is considered as a leading cause of infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and repeated implantation failure. The seed of Cuscutae Semen (CS) has been used to prevent aging and improve sexual function in Traditiona…
