ObjectiveTo assess the efficacy of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) compared to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) alone in couples undergoing ICSI treatment because of severe male infertility.DesignMulticentre,…

BACKGROUND: Preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) has been widely utilized to select euploid embryos in patients carrying balanced chromosomal rearrangements (BCRs) by chromosome copy number anal…

Endometriosis is a hormone dependent disease that often accompanies infertility. At present, the incidence rate of endometriosis is on the rise, but its pathogenesis and the mechanism leading to fertility reduction are still unclear. Here, …

Aquaporin-2 (AQP2) is a critical protein involved in water metabolism. It is primarily located in the renal collecting duct cells' apical plasma membranes and intracellular vesicles and regulates the movement of water into and out of cells.…

Adenomyosis, an estrogen-dependent disorder, requires long-term therapy as current treatments (GnRH agonists, danazol, etc.) show symptom recurrence post-discontinuation. Dienogest (DNG), a selective progesterone receptor agonist, effective…

This study aims to investigate the follicle microenvironment of individuals with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), normal ovarian reserve (normal), and advanced maternal age (AMA), and identify potential therapeutic targets. A total of…

Mesenchymal cells constitute the primary structural support elements within endometriotic lesions, yet their pivotal roles in endometriotic pathogenesis remain largely uncharted. This study aimed to construct a single-cell atlas of endometr…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a gynecological disorder characterized by chronic inflammation and an aberrant immune microenvironment. In this study, we integrated the GSE6364 dataset from the GEO database to identify differentially expressed genes…

Oncolytic viruses (OVs) offer a promising antitumor strategy by selectively lysing tumor cells and simultaneously activating innate and adaptive immune responses. Recent studies have shed light on the immunostimulatory mechanisms of OVs, pa…

Through a combination of single-cell/single-nucleus RNA-Seq (sc/snRNA-Seq) data analysis, immunohistochemistry, and primary macrophage studies, we have identified pathogenic macrophages characterized by Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 3 (TET…

The present study aimed to explore whether there is an association between the transfer of frozen thawed embryos (FET) obtained during SARS-CoV-2 infection and an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. We performed a case-control coh…

Ovulatory dysfunction (OD) is one of the main causes of infertility in women of childbearing age, which not only affects their reproductive ability, but also physical and mental health. Traditional treatment strategies have limited efficaci…

BACKGROUND: The NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is crucial for innate immunity. However, its uncontrolled and dysregulated activation may cause various inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Therefore, tight…

OBJECTIVE: Infertility caused by endometriosis (EM) directly affects the possibility of pregnancy in women of gestational age. This study aims to establish a prediction model to accurately predict the natural pregnancy outcome of patients w…

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…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the associations between triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) and reproductive outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing frozen embryo transfer (FET). METHODS: This retrospective…

BACKGROUND: Infertility poses a significant burden on both global and national scales. However, the epidemiology of primary infertility among reproductive-aged couples in China remains poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to inves…

In β‑thalassemia, excessive α‑globin chain impedes the normal development of red blood cells resulting in anemia. Numerous miRNAs, including miR‑6747‑3p, are aberrantly expressed in β‑thalassemia major (β‑TM), but there are no reports on th…

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…

Ovarian endometrioma (OE) is a common gynecological condition characterized by the formation of "chocolate cysts". Recent research indicates that the cyst fluid acts as a "toxic environment" for the ovary and plays a significant role in the…

Myocardial infarction (MI) results in cardiomyocyte necrosis and conductive system damage, leading to sudden cardiac death and heart failure. Studies have shown that conductive biomaterials can restore cardiac conduction, but cannot facilit…

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of previous surgical termination of pregnancy (STP) on pregnancy outcomes in women undergoing FET cycles of IVF/ICSI. Retrospective cohort study. Reproductive Center of Maternal and Child Health Care …

Ovarian endometriosis (EMs) is a benign, estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder. Estrogen receptor beta (ERβ), a nuclear receptor for estradiol, plays an important role in the development of ovarian EMs. Here, we investigated the biologi…

BACKGROUND: Abdominal pregnancy is characterized by the implantation of the gestational sac within the peritoneal cavity, specifically outside the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and cervix. This exceedingly rare form of ectopic pregnancy account…
