Endometriosis, often associated with chronic pelvic pain, can lead to anxiety and depression. This study investigates the role and mechanism of Glycine receptor alpha 3 (Glrα3) in the central sensitization of pain in endometriosis, aiming t…
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by the excessive proliferation of keratinocytes and heightened immune activation. Targeting pathogenic genes through small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapy represents a promising…
The decrease in assisted reproductive technology success among older women, attributed to decreased oocyte quantity and quality, poses a significant challenge. Currently, no consensus on the optimal ovarian stimulation protocol for older wo…
OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to determine the influence of the number of CD138+ cells in the proliferative endometrium on pregnancy outcomes. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study was conducted from January to August 2018. A tota…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of β-cell dysfunction on IVF outcomes in women with PCOS. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study includes 1,212 women with PCOS undergoing their first IVF cycle between September 2010 and December 20…
STUDY QUESTION: Do recent changes in European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) clinical guidelines result in more comprehensive diagnosis of women with endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: The latest shift in clinical guideli…
OBJECTIVE: To clarify whether intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) affect endometrial receptivity (ER) on the day of ovulation and to compare patients with mild and moderate-severe adhesions. METHODS: This prospective cohort study included 592 in…
BACKGROUND: Endometrial receptivity (ER), a pivotal event for successful embryo implantation, refers to the capacity of endometrium to allow the adhesion of the trophectoderm of the blastocyst to endometrial cells. In this paper, we set to …
Autoimmune diseases encompass a wide range of disorders characterized by disturbed immunoregulation leading to the development of specific autoantibodies, which cause inflammation and multiple organ involvement. However, its pathogenesis re…

OBJECTIVE: Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is widely recognized for its advantages, including reduced postoperative pain and the absence of visible scarring. However, the anatomical specificity required for …
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine the safety of Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) in terms of the Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) concept for tubal pregnancy surgery and provide a detailed process of vNO…
BACKGROUND: Laser-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 hatchin…
To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis, surgical treatment and prognosis of uterine tumors similar to ovarian sex cord tumors (UTROSCT). The clinical data, surgical approach, histopathological, and immunohistochemical fe…
BACKGROUND: Reduced endometrium thickness and receptivity are two important reasons for recurrent implantation failure (RIF). In order to elucidate differences between these two types of endometrial defects in terms of molecular signatures,…
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a prevalent condition affecting the male urinary system, with its molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis remaining unclear. Y-27632, a non-isoform-selective Rho kinase inhibitor, has shown therapeutic pot…
Primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma) is the third leading cause of tumor death in the world and the second leading cause in China. The high recurrence rate at 5 years after surgery also seriously affects the long…
Mitochondria are the center of energy metabolism in eukaryotic cells and play a central role in the metabolism of living organisms. Mitochondrial diseases characterized by defects in oxidative phosphorylation are the most common congenital …
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported that after laparoscopic cystectomy of ovarial endometrioma, the ovarian response to gonadotropin (Gn) significantly decreased. However, for patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) after ovar…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent disease and the etiologies has not uniform. Microbiota is associated with human diseases. To delve into the relationship between EMS and microbiota, Ectopic (EM) and eutopic (EU) endometrial tissues, phary…
