BACKGROUND: In mammals, precise regulation of primordial follicle activation is essential for maintaining the female reproductive lifespan. In this study, we demonstrated that the vitamin D receptor (VDR) is expressed in both pre-granulosa …

BACKGROUND: To compare the efficacy of modified gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocols combining clomiphene citrate (CC) or letrozole (LE) versus a conventional antagonist protocol in patients with normal ovarian reserve…

OBJECTIVE: Artificial insemination by husband (AIH) and artificial insemination by donor (AID) are core assisted reproductive techniques for infertile couples; however, few head-to-head comparative prediction models exist for their pregnanc…

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have been associated with disorders affecting female reproductive health, although the precise causal connections and underlying pathways between these substances and such disorders remain incompletely …

ABSTRACT: The endometrium is the primary site of embryo implantation. Cellular senescence within the endometrium can be broadly categorised into normal cyclical senescence and pathological excessive senescence. Normal cyclical senescence oc…

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is an aggressive subtype of ovarian cancer that is resistant to conventional chemotherapy, resulting in poor prognosis. CCC develops from endometriosis, which exposes tumor cells to a hypoxic microenvironm…

BACKGROUND: Low-level sex chromosome mosaicism (SCM; abnormal cell proportion <10%) is frequently detected during preconception karyotype screening, yet its clinical relevance in assisted reproductive technology (ART) remains controversial.…

Fisetin, a flavonoid widely present in natural plants, exhibits diverse pharmacological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and anti-aging effects. Its protective roles within the mammalian reproductive syst…

This study investigated the role of ACSL4 in endometrial receptivity disorders in endometriosis (EMs) and evaluated PRGL493, an ACSL4 inhibitor, as a potential therapeutic target. Bioinformatic analysis identified ACSL4 as a potential key r…

PURPOSE: Investigating whether increasing the dose of gonadotropins (Gn) in the second in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle using the antagonist protocol could improve the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) in POSEIDON Groups 1 and 2. METHODS…

PURPOSE: Selection of optimal embryo transfer strategies for IVF patients treated with antagonist protocols. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted to assess whether whole embryo culture to the blastocyst stage could enhance the cumu…

Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent gynecological disease that leads to chronic pelvic pain and infertility in women of reproductive age. However, the underlying pathogenic genes and effective treatment for EMS remain unclear. Therefore, thi…

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…

BACKGROUND: Observational studies have explored the impact of iron homeostasis on infertility; however, establishing definitive causal relationships remains challenging. This study utilized a two-sample Mendelian randomization approach to i…

AIM: To establish a meaningful standard for diagnosing ocular metastasis (OM) in menopausal breast cancer (BC) women, and explore the relationship between CA-153, CA-125, apolipoprotein A, and OM. METHODS: A total of 1362 menopausal female…

Endometriosis, affecting 6%-10% of women, often leads to pain and infertility and its underlying inflammatory mechanisms are poorly understood. We established endometriosis models in wild-type and IL16KO mice, revealing the driver function …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis developing in a cesarean section (CS) scar is an unusual event. Malignant transformation arising on the background of scar endometriosis in the abdominal wall is extremely rare. Herein we report a case of clear cel…

INTRODUCTION: Triptorelin is available as 1- and 3-month prolonged-release (PR) formulations; at the time of the study, only the former was approved for central precocious puberty (CPP) in China. This study assessed the efficacy and safety …

Abstract Endometriosis (EMS) is a common gynecological disease leading to chronic pelvic pain and infertility in women of reproductive age, but its underlying pathogenic genes and effective treatment are still unclear. To date, abnormal exp…

Purpose: In this study, we analyzed the differences between hypertension patients with ocular metastasis of liver cancer and those with metastases to other sites, the correlation between history of HBV and liver cancer metastasis, and indep…

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary metastasis of benign uterine leiomyoma and uterine endometriosis has been reported; however, pulmonary benign metastasizing uterine adenomyoma has not been reported. Herein, we report the first case of pulmonary benign…

BACKGROUND: Researchers have found that macrophages are the predominant cells in the peritoneal fluid (PF) of endometriosis patients. CSF-1 has been found to accumulate in the lesions and PF of endometriosis patients, and CSF-1 induces THP-…

OBJECTIVE: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by follicular dysplasia. An insufficient glycolysis-derived energy supply of granulosa cells (GCs) is an important cause of follicular dysplasia in PCOS. Follicular fluid (FF) exo…

Netrin-1, a chemoattractant expressed by floor plate cells, and one of its receptors (deleted in colorectal cancer) has been associated with pronociceptive actions in a number of pain conditions. Here, we addressed the question of whether s…
