Adenomyosis involves aberrant inflammation and immune dysregulation in its pathogenesis. This multicenter study investigated the association between the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) and adenomyosis risk among 74,900 participants…
BACKGROUND: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a severe subtype of endometriosis, often associated with dysmenorrhea and significant diagnostic challenges. Conventional biomarkers, such as cancer antigen 125 (CA125), lack sufficient s…
BACKGROUND: The follicular-phase long GnRHa protocol is a common protocol in COH. This study mainly analyzed the recovery of FSH levels on the day of Gn initiation compared with basal FSH levels on the day of downregulation and studied the …
Following the publication of the above paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that, regarding the histopathological images shown in Fig. 3 on p. 90, Fig. 3E and F showed an overlapping section, suggesting that t…
BACKGROUND: Predicting in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy outcomes is crucial for individualized decision-making. However, due to complex interactions among multiple factors, accurate manual integration and assessment are challenging. T…
Endometriosis exhibits epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT)-aligned traits that promote invasion and lesion persistence. We investigated whether poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) coordinates β-catenin/TCF4 activity with EMT programs…
Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is a key factor in the recurrence and progression of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Phosphodiesterase 4C (PDE4C) serves as a crucial regulator in cancer development and metastasis, its functional role and mec…
OBJECTIVE: To compare perioperative safety, efficiency and learning curves of MPLH, RASPH and SPLH, and analyze surgical disparities stratified by uterine volume. We adopted multivariable regression (primary adjusted analysis) and multinomi…
BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and the risk of PCOS increases in patients with T2DM of reproductive age. The bidirectional link between PCOS and T2DM has…
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Endometriosis is a chronic, hormone-dependent disorder characterized by ectopic implantation of endometrial tissue, often accompanied by pain and infertility. Although the progesterone receptor modulator RU486 is eff…
BACKGROUND: The incidence of malignant tumors/precancerous lesions is rising, yet their impact on pregnancy outcomes in women undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) remains unclear. METHODS: A single-…
Endometriosis is an estrogen dependent disease, which is related to infertility. Decidualization is a prerequisite for successful implantation of human embryos, and endometriosis affects the occurrence of decidualization. However, the mecha…
The study investigated the effects of intrauterine infusion of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on endometrial growth, repair of thin endometrium, and pregnancy outcomes following surgery for intrauterine adhesions (IUA). Fifty patients with seve…
Uterine fibroids are common among women of reproductive age and often recur after treatment. Accurate recurrence prediction is essential for guiding clinical decisions, yet existing models remain inadequate. This study aimed to develop a no…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is currently considered a chronic disease for which long-term medical treatment is needed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of dydrogesterone in Chinese women with endometrios…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the micro blood flow characteristics of normal singleton pregnancy placenta in middle and late pregnancy based on microvascular flow (MV-Flow) imaging. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study. Clinical reco…
Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) poses significant challenges in reproductive health, with emerging evidence implicating DNA damage repair pathways. While GADD45A is a critical regulator of DNA repair, cell cycle and apoptosis, its role in …
BACKGROUND: Insomnia is increasingly emerging as a significant concern in public health, with a longstanding emphasis on its relationship with overall well-being. Nevertheless, few research has been devoted to investigating the relationship…
Nanomaterials are increasingly applied in biomedicine and have significant potential in reproductive medicine. However, because they can impact germ cells, use of nanomaterials could represent a "double-edged sword", whose benefits must be …
The periconception period is critical for embryo development, pregnancy outcomes, and offspring health. During this stage, oviductal and uterine fluids facilitate embryo-maternal interactions and support early embryonic development. Using P…
BACKGROUND: To investigate the optimal periendometrial zone (PEZ) in ultrasound (US) images and assess the performance of ultrasound radiomics in predicting the outcome of frozen embryo transfer (FET). METHODS: This prospective study had 4…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the dynamics of serum medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) concentrations and their influence on serum progesterone (P) levels and pregnancy outcomes in the progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol. A total o…
BACKGROUND: The levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) is a widely recognized method for contraception and the management of various gynecological conditions. However, the placement of LNG-IUS can be particularly challenging…
PURPOSE: Progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) has been widely employed in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycles. In recent years, letrozole (LE) combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) has …
The endometrial receptive status is critical for a successful embryo implantation, but it only last for a short period of time, and the window of implantation (WOI) of each woman changes individually, which will lead to poor outcomes of ass…
