INTRODUCTION: Although previous studies have shown that vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) has the advantages of causing less pain, faster recovery, and better concealment of surgical incisions, which aligns wi…
BACKGROUND: Few studies have described the relationship between the type of infertility and live birth in patients treated with intrauterine insemination (IUI). We focused on this issue and attempted to explore it. METHODS: This retrospect…
Objective: To evaluate the impact of chronic endometritis (CE) on the recurrence of endometrial polyps (EPs) in premenopausal women who underwent hysteroscopic polypectomy. Methods: : We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study…
BackgroundTraditional approaches to drug development are costly and involve high risks. The drug repurposing approach can be a valuable alternative to traditional approaches and has therefore received considerable attention in recent years.…
BACKGROUND: Preterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal death, and there are no effective clinical means for the prevention and treatment of spontaneous preterm birth, mainly because the mechanism for labor initiation has not been fully …
BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance (IR) contributes to ovarian dysfunctions in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) patients. Serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) is an acute phase protein produced primarily by the liver in response to inflammation. In additi…
BACKGROUND: Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is one of the leading causes of infertility and the main clinical challenge is the high recurrence rate. The key to solving this dilemma lies in elucidating the mechanisms of endometrial fibrosis. The…
INTRODUCTION: and importance: Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality in many developing countries. Female genital tuberculosis, a relatively uncommon form of tuberculosis, is critically challenging to diagnose due to its ins…
Increasing evidence has verified the indispensable effect of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the biological processes of human diseases, including endometriosis. hsa-miR-340-5p was reported to display a low level in patients with endometriosis, but t…
BACKGROUND: Unsubstantiated concerns have been raised on the potential correlation between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination and infertility, leading to vaccine hesitancy in reproductive-aged populatio…
PURPOSE: To study the relationship between blastomere number and pregnancy outcomes of day 3 embryo transfers. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included 2237 fresh single day 3 embryo transfer cycles from October 2013 to November 2…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Do frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles following long-term gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) pretreatment have better pregnancy outcomes than fresh embryo transfer cycles with long or ultra-long GnRHa protoc…
Ovulation is a dramatic remodeling process that includes rupture of blood capillaries and clotting, but coagulation is not thought to directly regulate this process. Herein, we report remarkable increases of coagulation factors V (f5, ~3145…
Endometrial epithelial cells carry distinct cancer-associated alterations that may be more susceptible to endometriosis. Mouse models have shown that overexpression of SIRT1 associated with oncogene activation contributes to the pathogenesi…
RATIONALE: Primary extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphomas of the fallopian tube is extremely rare. It is a great challenge for fertility and gynecology doctors to manage such cases and also fulfil the reproductive demands of these young …
BackgroundRecurrent implantation failure (RIF), a clinical disorder characterized by failure to achieve pregnancy after repeated (≥3) embryo transfer, is a challenge for reproductive demands worldwide. In our preliminary work, the Zhuyun fo…
Ischemic stroke (IS) is a severe disease with a high disability, recurrence, and mortality rates. Autophagy, a highly conserved process that degrades damaged or aging organelles and excess cellular components to maintain homeostasis, is act…
BACKGROUND: Successful implantation is a complex process that is influenced by embryo quality, endometrial receptivity, immune factors, and the specific type of in vitro fertilization protocol used. DNA topoisomerase IIα (TOP2A) is a well-k…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent disease in women characterized by the presence of endometrial stroma and glands outside the uterus. Recent studies have showed that EMS is correlated with the resistance of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs)…
Anaphylaxis due to autoimmune progesterone dermatitis is a rare but severe allergic disease in women. The clinical manifestations of APD are diverse, and a proper understanding of the disease can help even diagnose and treat it. A case of a…
Lysine acetylation is a frequently occurring post-translational modification (PTM), emerging as an important metabolic regulatory mechanism in prokaryotes. This process is achieved enzymatically by the protein acetyltransferase (KAT) to spe…
Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are increasingly used, however little is known about the long-term health of ART-conceived offspring. Weak selection of comparison groups and poorly characterized mechanisms impede current understand…
OBJECTIVE: To study the influence of endometriosis activity on the pregnancy outcomes of patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) in in-vitro fertilization/intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycles. The pregnancy outcome…
BACKGROUND: Balloon dilation is a commonly used minimally invasive endourological treatment of ureteral stricture, but the postoperative recurrence rate is relatively high. And factors contributing to recurrence after treatment are poorly u…
