OBJECTIVE: We aimed to analyze the effect of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) on different types of adenomyosis (AM) based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) classification. METHODS: A total of 206 AM patients who underwent HIFU b…
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…
PurposeTo recommend the classification of unilateral genital tract obstruction with ipsilateral renal anomaly (UGTOIRA) syndrome into five types based on the site of obstruction, and to analyze the clinical manifestations and precise diagno…
BackgroundThe 2016 Patient-Oriented Strategy Encompassing IndividualizeD Oocyte Number (POSEIDON) criteria redefined the poor responders as low prognosis patients. The embryo transfer strategy for POSEIDON patients remained to be addressed.…
Acupuncture therapy, as a characteristic of Chinese medical therapy, has a long history and remarkable effect in the treatment of gynecological diseases, and so far, it has formed a complete treatment system, but its efficacy and mechanism …
BACKGROUND: Unilateral genital tract obstruction with ipsilateral renal anomaly (UGTOIRA) syndrome is a rare congenital urogenital anomaly, characterized by different combinations of uterine abnormalities, unilateral cervical-vaginal obstru…
In the process of spermatogenesis and maturation, histones of the sperm nucleus were gradually replaced by protamine. Abnormal sperm nucleoprotein histotype conversion can make sperm DNA unstable and affect sperm function. The aim of this s…
MIR503HG is a 786 bp long lncRNA located on chromosome Xq26.3, and it can regulate diverse cellular processes. The pathogenesis of adenomyosis (AD) is associated with endometrial stromal cells (ESCs). The present study investigated the spec…
Infertility is a rising global health issue with a far-reaching impact on the socioeconomic livelihoods. As there are highly complex causes of male and female infertility, it is highly desired to promote and maintain reproductive health by …
In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer is one type of assisted reproductive technology, although the technology is now more mature. Many factors, however, will have an impact on oocyte fertilization, embryo growth, pregnancy outcome, an…
BackgroundThis study aimed to explore the incidence and influencing factors for early pregnancy loss (EPL) in infertility patients with first pregnancy undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) embryo transfer cycles in Jilin province, China.…
Although using letrozole (LE) during in vitro fertilisation and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) has many advantages, it remains unclear whether LE induces an increase in progestogen during the late follicular phase. The objectiv…
Objectives : A large meta-analysis indicated a more pronounced association between lower birth weight (BW) and diseases in women but less concern about the causality between BW and female-related phenotypes and diseases. Methods: Mendelian …
There are many studies on the advantages of using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that secrete various paracrine factors for repairing endometrial injury. However, the stability and effectiveness of MSCs require improvement to become a viable…
Prior studies have shown that genetic factors play important roles in ovarian endometriosis. Herein, we first analyzed the whole-exome sequencing data from 158 patients with ovarian endometriosis and 385 local control women without endometr…
The wingless-related integration site (Wnt) signaling pathway plays an essential role in embryonic development and nervous system regulation. It is critically involved in multiple types of neuropathic pain (NP), such as HIV-related NP, canc…
AimsTo determine the clinical predictors of live birth in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (F-ET), and to determine whether these parameters can be used to develop a clinical nomogram mode…
BackgroundParental body mass index (BMI) is associated with pregnancy outcomes. But the effect of parental prepregnancy BMI on offspring conceived via in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), especially the b…
PurposeTo investigate the safety and efficacy of ureteroscopic cryoablation by a liquid-nitrogen system in a porcine model and for patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) of a solitary kidney.MethodsIn the animal experiment, t…
BackgroundPrimary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is a malignant tumor of the female genital tract that mostly presents intraperitoneal dissemination in clinical practice. The incidence of upper anterior mediastinal metastasis in PFTCs is e…
ObjectiveTo investigate the safety and efficacy of elagolix, an oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist, with hormonal add-back therapy for up to 12 months in women with heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine leiomyomas.Met…
BackgroundCircadian rhythm disruption impacts a wide range of physiological processes, including fertility. However, the effect of circadian disruption on male spermatogenesis and fertility, and treatments for these effects have been largel…
