PURPOSE: To evaluate whether prior SARS-CoV-2 infection adversely affects live birth and perinatal outcomes following subsequent frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) and to further investigate whether the time interval between infection and …

INTRODUCTION: Endometrial receptivity (ER), critical for successful embryo implantation and a major limiting factor in infertility affecting ∼1 in 6 couples globally, remains poorly understood, with few effective interventions targeting the…

INTRODUCTION: Dynamic changes in adenomyotic lesions in animal models have been difficult to observe and evaluate in vivo on a regular basis. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the feasibility of establishing a rat model of adenomyos…

BACKGROUND: Trophoblast cells are a critical component of retained products of conception (RPOC). While mifepristone is widely used as a non-invasive treatment for RPOC, its precise molecular mechanisms in trophoblast regulation remain poor…

PURPOSE: To explore the value of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation and laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) in the treatment of uterine fibroids. METHODS: One hundred and twenty patients with uterine fibroids admitted to our hospit…

Irpex lacteus is a fungus typically found on angiosperm branches and trunks. Here, we report the isolation of a novel strain of I. lacteus from the cervix uteri of a female patient diagnosed with endometriosis and COVID-19 at Beijing Obstet…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis (EM) is an estrogen-dependent benign gynecologic disease affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women with a high recurrence rate, but lacks reliable biomarkers. No previous studies have investigated the…

BACKGROUND Endometriosis is a condition where uterine lining tissue grows outside the uterine cavity, commonly on the ovaries and pelvic peritoneum, but can also occur in rare locations such as the cervix, lungs or pleura. Cervical endometr…

Limited understanding exists regarding how aging impacts the cellular and molecular aspects of the human ovary. This study combines single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to systematically characterize human ovarian aging. S…

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…

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have examined that a range of optimal serum P level during the implantation period was associated with optimal live birth rates. However, those results obtained with vaginal or intramuscular route of progesteron…

MiR-181a suppresses the proliferation of mouse granulosa cells, which participate in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), suggesting the potential role of miR-181a in PCOS. Our bioinformatics analysis revealed that miR-181a could bind CDKN2B-A…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of photoacoustic imaging (PAI) on the assessment of ovarian/adnexal lesion(s) of different risk categories using the sonographic ovarian-adnexal imaging-reporting-data system (O-RADS) in women undergoing plan…

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common acute abdomen and the number one cause of acute digestive hospitalizations in the United States. Abdominal pain is the main clinical manifestation of abdominal symptoms, so reducing the abdominal symptoms…

Endometriosis is a gynecological disease related to menstruation that affects nearly 10% of reproductive-age women. However, so far, there are no reliable diagnostic biomarkers for endometriosis, causing a delay in diagnosis of 6.7 ± 6.2 ye…

This study aimed to investigate the metabolite profile and inflammatory state of follicular fluid (FF) in women with stage III-IV ovarian endometriosis (OE) who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF). A cohort of 20 consecutive patients wit…

STUDY QUESTION: Does cancer itself, before any gonadotoxic treatment, affect ovarian function in reproductive-aged patients? SUMMARY ANSWER: Our study revealed that women with cancer may have decreased ovarian reserve markers even before c…

ObjectiveTo determine whether the peak serum estradiol (E2) level during ovarian stimulation affects the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) and obstetric outcomes in freeze-all cycles.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study involved patients …

Infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), for example, with types 16 and 18, is closely associated with cervical cancer development, which continues to threaten women's health globally. Although HPV oncogenes have been recognized…

Objectives: Fallopian tube (FT) injury is an important factor that can lead to tubal infertility. Stem-cell-based therapy shows great potential for the treatment of injured fallopian tube. However, little research has shown that mesenchymal…

Ovarian cancer is the deadliest of all gynecological malignancies. When ovarian cancer is detected at an early, localized stage, surgery and chemotherapy can cure 70%-90% of patients, compared with 20% or fewer when it is diagnosed at later…

BACKGROUND: To explore the effect of pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) on neonatal outcomes among singletons born after frozen embryo transfer (FET). METHODS: This large retrospective cohort study included 18,683 singleton infants born a…

PURPOSE: With the progress of medical technology and renovated conception of fertility, the prospective studies and practice of fertility preservation are drawing more and more attention from medical workers. With the largest population of …
