OBJECTIVES: To establish visualised prediction models of low fertilisation rate (LFR) and total fertilisation failure (TFF) for patients in conventional in vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycles. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study. SETTING: D…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a common gynecological disease. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which induces chronic pelvic inflammation and cell pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death based on inflammasome activation, are involved in EMS, but the ex…
BACKGROUND: The predictors for live birth rate (LBR) following one episode of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle for patients using a "freeze-all" strategy are not entirely clear. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study utilizing a predictio…
Although high-grade serous cancer (HGSC) accounts for >70% of ovarian epithelial cancers, it is rarely associated with endometriosis. No previous study has reported an association between the malignant transformation of uterine ligament end…
Aim: This study systematically reviewed the application of ICP-MS and its combined technology in the determination of mineral and heavy metal elements in medicinal materials derived from plants, animals, minerals and their preparations (Chi…
The establishment of pregnancy in human necessitates appropriate decidualization of stromal cells, which involves steroids regulated periodic transformation of endometrial stromal cells during the menstrual cycle. However, the potential mol…
The sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) is crucial for assessing male fertility. However, the predictive value of the SCSA parameters, including the DNA fragment indices (DFI) and the percentages of high DNA stainability (HDS), for outco…
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory gynecological disorder that is pathologically defined as the growth of endometrial glands and stroma outside of the uterine cavity. It is estimated that more than 15% of women of reproduct…
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease, characterized by the presence of endometrial-like lesions outside the uterus. This debilitating disease causes chronic pelvic pain and infertility with limited therapeutics. Chemerin is a sec…
OBJECTIVE: To identify the prevalence and risk factors for chronic endometritis (CE) with tubal factors and the correlation between chronic endometritis and tubal factors among infertile populations. METHOD: A total of 52 patients with chr…
BackgroundThe pathogenesis of chronic pancreatitis is still unclear. Trypsinogen activation is an active factor in acute pancreatitis that has not been studied in the occurrence of chronic pancreatitis.MethodsImmunofluorescence was used to …
INTRODUCTION: As a new minimally invasive surgery, transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) has been proved to be suitable for the treatment of a variety of gynecological benign diseases. However, compared with …
BACKGROUND: Uterine cystic adenomyosis is a very rare type of adenomyosis which can be easily misdiagnosed in clinical practice. In the past, cases have been mostly treated with surgical resection of the uterine lesion. CASE PRESENTATION: …
INTRODUCTION: Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is a new concept of minimally invasive surgery. It could prevent complications related to the trocar in laparoscopic surgery, and help achieve ideal cosmetic outcomes. A…
BACKGROUND: Periodontal diseases and poor oral hygiene are potentially associated with decreased female fecundability. Fecundability refers to the probability of conception during a given period measured in months or menstrual cycles. This …
Endometriosis(EM)is a non-cancerous and intractable disease in clinic due to the ambiguity of its etiology and mechanism. Surgical removal of the lesions is more efficient method for EM treatment compared with pharmacological intervention. …
Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common female reproductive system tumors, with close to 200,000 new cases each year. It accounts for approximately 7% of the total number of female cancers, but until now the cause of EC has remain…
A rapid response is necessary to contain emergent biological outbreaks before they can become pandemics. The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19 was first reported in December of 2019 in Wuhan, China and reached most corners…
Abstract Background: Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecologic disease, affecting up to 10% of women at reproductive age and approximately 50% of women with infertility. The function of circRNAs in various diseases has been highlighted. Dys…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Could extracellular vesicle-derived long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) serve as promising circulating biomarkers for endometriosis? DESIGN: To obtain novel diagnostic markers, 85 patients with endometriosis were enrolled as th…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does the absence of GRIM19 affect pyroptosis of macrophages? Is the release of IL-1β caused by pyroptosis a relevant factor in the regulation of adenomyosis progression? DESIGN: Endometrial tissues were collected from pa…
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition may play a role in adenomyosis. GRIM19 expression is downregulated in adenomyotic lesions, and the effects of this downregulation in adenomyosis remain relatively unclear. In this study, we aimed to …
Humans are regularly and continuously exposed to ionizing radiation from both natural and artificial sources. Cumulating evidence shows adverse effects of ionizing radiation on both male and female reproductive systems, including reduction …
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is highly prevalent and is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Currently, conventional pharmacological treatments for MDD produce temporary remission in < 50% of patients; therefore, the…
Cytokines are signaling molecules between cells in immune system. Cytokine storm, due to the sudden acute increase in levels of pro-inflammatory circulating cytokines, can result in disease severity and major-organ damage. Thus, there is ur…
