RationaleIntravascular/intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a peculiar variant of uterine leiomyoma that is classified as a histologically benign smooth muscle tumor with a biological behavior similar to that of a malignant tumor. It is char…
Endometriosis and adenomyosis are debilitating gynecological conditions that severely affect the quality of life of women. Traditional diagnostic and treatment methods, including laparoscopic surgery and hormonal therapy, face significant l…
BackgroundInflammation exerts a critical role in the pathogenesis of infertility. The relationship between inflammatory parameters from peripheral blood and infertility remains unclear. Aim of this study was to investigate the association b…
Emerging evidence recognizes aberrant glycosylation as the malignant characteristics of cancer cells, but little is known about glycogenes' roles in endometrial carcinoma (EC), especially the most aggressive subtype carrying TP53 mutations.…
Tryptophan (Trp) metabolism involves three primary pathways: the kynurenine (Kyn) pathway (KP), the 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin, 5-HT) pathway, and the indole pathway. Under normal physiological conditions, Trp metabolism plays crucial r…
Ovarian endometriosis is characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue within the ovary, causing infertility and chronic pain. However, its pathophysiology remains unclear. Utilizing high-precision single-cell RNA sequencing, we profile…
PurposeMultiple factors have been shown to influence the rate of clinical pregnancy after FET in IVF treatment, including embryo quality, synchronization of embryo and endometrium, and endometrial receptivity (ER). The subendometrial blood …
The distinctive three-dimensional architecture, biological functionality, minimal immunogenicity, and inherent biodegradability of small intestinal submucosa extracellular matrix materials have attracted considerable interest and found wide…
BackgroundThe aim of the retrospective cohort study was to investigate the prognostic effect of subchorionic hematomas (SCH) in the first trimester on pregnancy outcomes after euploid embryo transfer.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed women…
Mifepristone, a progesterone receptor antagonist, was initially used to terminate early pregnancy. As scientific research advanced, it emerged to be effective in the treatment of various tumors and tumor-like conditions such as endometriosi…
BackgroundLaser-assisted hatching (LAH) stands as the predominant technique for removing the zona pellucida (ZP) in embryos, primarily consisting of two methods: drilling laser-assisted hatching (D-LAH) and thinning laser-assisted hatching …
BackgroundGrowth hormone (GH) supplementation has been shown to improve oocyte quality and live birth, but few studies have examined whether GH can reduce embryonic aneuploidy. Chromosomal abnormalities in preimplantation embryos have been …
ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine the most pertinent factors responsible for placenta accreta spectrum disorders in patients without any history of pregnancy and evaluate their prognostic implications.MethodsThis retrospective cohort s…
Infertility is a worldwide reproductive health problem and there are still many unknown etiologies of infertility. In recent years, increasing evidence emerged and confirmed that epigenetic regulation played a leading role in reproduction. …
PurposeEndometrial carcinoma (EC) is a common gynecological malignancy. Vaginal cuff brachytherapy (VBT) is an adjuvant treatment for EC. Since a single-channel cylinder sometimes delivers inadequate dose coverage to the vaginal apex, three…
ImportanceImplantation failure remains a critical barrier to in vitro fertilization. Prednisone, as an immune-regulatory agent, is widely used to improve the probability of implantation and pregnancy, although the evidence for efficacy is i…
Comprehensively understanding the female reproductive system is crucial for safeguarding fertility and preventing diseases concerning women's health. With the capacity to simulate the intricate physio- and patho-conditions, and provide diag…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone and neurotransmitter secreted from intestinal L cells in response to nutrients to stimulate insulin and block glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner. Long-acting GLP-1 recepto…
PPM1A (magnesium-dependent phosphatase 1 A, also known as PP2Cα) is a member of the Ser/Thr protein phosphatase family. Protein phosphatases catalyze the removal of phosphate groups from proteins via hydrolysis, thus opposing the role of pr…
PurposeThe study aims to investigate whether chromosomal polymorphism affects embryo development and pregnancy outcomes of unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (uRPL) couples undergoing PGT-A.MethodsA total of 585 couples with uRPL history …
BackgroundRecurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a disease associated with endometrial receptivity dysfunction. Retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARα) is an important protein in many biological processes, such as differentiation and developme…
BackgroundEndometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is a uterine stromal tumor with a very low incidence, accounting for 10-15% of all uterine stromal malignancies and 0.2% of all uterine malignancies. The most common extrauterine location of ESS i…
ObjectiveEthiodized poppy seed oil for hysterosalpingography (HSG) is reported to display some therapeutic effect on infertility, but big a sample-size study under real clinical settings is still lacking to verify the speculation. Thus, thi…
BackgroundThe treatment of large pelvic masses in postmenopausal women is a challenge in clinical practice. Although ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging can be used to determine the size and location of the mass, it is still difficult …
