PurposeTo investigate the applicability and safety of the blastocyst grading system for borderline blastocysts assessed by measurement of the inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) parameters.MethodsA total of 361 borderline blastocys…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects women of reproductive age. The current hormonal treatments are unsuitable for women who wish to conceive, highlighting the need for non-hormonal therapeutic alternatives…

Endometriosis affects a substantial number of women of reproductive age, yet current diagnostic methods rely on invasive procedures. To address this limitation, we investigated THBS1 as a potential biomarker and regulator of disease progres…

BackgroundThe relationship between negative emotions and chronic respiratory diseases remains largely unexplored. In this study, we employ Mendelian Randomization (MR) to investigate the potential causal relationship between negative emotio…

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether blastocysts that do not re-expand 2–4 h after thawing were of value for utilization and to analyze the relevant factors affecting clinical pregnancy in completely shrunken blastocyst transfer (C…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the utility of clinical and MRI features in distinguishing ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) from adnexal masses with ovarian-adnexal reporting and data system (O-RADS) MRI scores of 4-5. METHODS: This retrospective s…

Adenomatoid tumors are rare, specific, benign tumors of the reproductive tract that originate from mesenchymal tissue. A patient was diagnosed with uterine fibroids 1 year previously when a mass of approximately 30 mm was found in the left …

BackgroundNuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are sophisticated and dynamic protein structures that straddle the nuclear envelope and act as gatekeepers for transporting molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. NPCs comprise up to 30 diff…

INTRODUCTION: Anti-sulfatide antibodies are key biomarkers for the diagnosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). However, case reports on anti-sulfatide antibody-related GBS are rare, particularly for atypical cases. CASE DESCRIPTION CASE 1:…

PURPOSE: To investigate the association between the oxidative balance score (OBS) and endometriosis. METHODS: This cross-sectional study used four cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (1999-2000, 2001-200…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis (EM) is a multifactorial disease that affects 10 - 15% of women of reproductive age. Additionally, 30-50% of women with EM suffer from infertility. The mechanism of infertility caused by EM has not yet been consi…

INTRODUCTION: The microbial community plays a crucial role in the pathological microenvironment. However, the structure of the microbial community within endometriotic lesions and its impact on the microenvironment is still limited. METHOD…

BackgroundPoor oocyte quality remains one of the major challenges for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Granulosa cells (GCs) in PCOS display altered functions and could cause an unfavo…

Uterine adenomyosis causing attention to the abnormal smooth muscle layer has recently received increasing attention, which has created the need for a method that can efficiently collect high purity uterine smooth muscle cells (USMC) in a l…

Endometriosis refers to as an estrogen-dependent disease. Estrogen receptor β (ERβ), the main estrogen receptor subtype which is encoded by the estrogen receptor 2 (ESR2) gene, can mediate the action of estrogen in endometriosis. Although s…

The study aims to identify potential drug targets for endometrial cancer (EC) subtypes through a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach, assessing their clinical relevance. We utilized genetic instruments for 4,907 plasma proteins from the d…

AIMS: Endometriosis is characterized by an abnormal immune microenvironment. Despite the extensive use of immune therapies, the application of immune checkpoint inhibitors in endometriosis lacks confidence due to the instability of preclini…

AIMS: Current evidence suggests that there is no completely effective method for endometriosis (EMS) without trauma due to diverse adverse effects. Reliable evidence illustrates that inhibiting ferroptosis is a potential strategy for EMS. W…

BackgroundOvarian cancer (OV) is the second most prevalent gynecological tumor. Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) refers to two or more spontaneous abortions. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying both OV and RPL remain poorly understoo…

BackgroundTo systematically assess and compare the predictive value of the Ranson and Bedside Index of Severity in Acute Pancreatitis (BISAP) scoring systems for the severity and prognosis of acute pancreatitis (AP).MethodsPubMed, Embase, C…

Spontaneous uterine vein rupture in pregnancy is rare. This current case report presents a case of broad ligament vein rupture in spontaneous twin pregnancy that is even rarer. A female in her early 30s at the third trimester of a twin preg…

AIM: To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and clinical treatment of submucosal cystic adenomyosis. METHODS: The clinical data of five cases of patients with submucosal cystic adenomyosis in our hospital from January 2020…

Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) refers to a decrease in the number and/or quality of oocytes, leading to infertility, poor ovarian response and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Currently, the pathogenesis of DOR is largely unknown, and the effi…
