Background: The SARS-CoV-2 virus is continually evolving, and the worldwide epidemic is still ongoing. There is conflicting evidence regarding how SAS-CoV-2 infection affects the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART). The aim …
BackgroundICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) leads to a reduced male-to-female ratio at birth, whereas blastocyst transfer results in an increased male-to-female ratio. However, limited knowledge exists regarding the impact of these fa…
The anatomical positions of pelvic floor organs are maintained by ligaments and muscles. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) occurs when the pelvic floor tissues are repeatedly stimulated by excessive mechanical tension that exceeds the beari…
This study aimed to investigate the metabolite profile and inflammatory state of follicular fluid (FF) in women with stage III-IV ovarian endometriosis (OE) who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF). A cohort of 20 consecutive patients wit…
Abstract Background Endometriosis is still a difficult problem for women.The Nuclear Ubiquitous Casein and cyclin-dependent Kinase Substrate 1(NUCKS1)gene is located on human chromosome 1q32.1. It encodes the NUCKS1 protein, a 27 kDa nuclea…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is still a difficult problem for women. The Nuclear Ubiquitous Casein and cyclin-dependent Kinase Substrate 1 (NUCKS1) gene is located on human chromosome 1q32.1. It encodes the NUCKS1 protein, a 27 kDa nuclear DNA…
BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) seriously affects the fertility and health of women of childbearing age. We look forward to finding potential biomarkers for PCOS that can aid clinical diagnosis.MethodsWe acquired PCOS and normal …
Exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease, and hyperglycemia serves an important role in the development of atherosclerosis. The present study aimed to investigate th…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common nonfatal gynecological disease, and infertility is one of its main dangers. Endometriosis-related infertility causes serious damage to women's health and places a burden on women of reproductive age. Th…
OBJECTIVES: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) due to adenomyosis, though rare, threaten women with severe morbidity. Adenomyosis is easily overlooked in the etiological assessment of CVST. Etiological under-recognization has considera…
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the main immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of endometrial cancer (EC). TAMs recruitment and polarization in EC is regulated by the TME of EC, culminating in a predominantly M2-like macr…
Pancreatitis is the leading cause of hospitalization in gastroenterology, and no medications are available for treating this disease in current clinical practice. FXR plays an anti-inflammatory role in diverse inflammatory diseases, while i…
BACKGROUND: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a known regulator of the development and maintenance of chronic pain in various chronic disorders. Together with its high-affinity tyrosine kinase type B (TrKB) receptor, BDNF is exten…
ObjectiveSeveral studies have found that MMP-9, one of the extracellular matrix-degrading proteinases, was involved in EC's (endometrial cancer) clinical progression and prognosis. However, the results involving the associations of MMP-9 ex…
Objective: To investigate the differential expression of microRNA (miRNA) in patients with endometrial cancer and its relationship with prognosis and survival. Method: We used The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database to analyze differentiall…
Background: Malignant transformation of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) invading the cervix and rectum is quite rare, especially in patients combined with Lynch syndrome (LS). We report a rare case of a 49-year-old perimenopausal woma…
Background0PN zygotes have a low cleavage rate, and the clinical outcomes of cleavage-stage embryo transfers are unsatisfactory. Blastocyst culturing is used to screen 0PN embryos, but whether the cell number of 0PN embryos on day 3 affects…
BackgroundRecurrence of postoperative adhesions is one of the most important factors for poor reproductive outcomes after hysteroscopic surgery, particularly in cases diagnosed with severe intrauterine adhesions (IUAs), where the recurrence…
BackgroundA comprehensive clinical strategy for infertility involves treatment and, more importantly, post-treatment evaluation. As a component of assessment, endometrial receptivity does not have a validated tool. This study was anchored o…
Background and aimsFemale fertility is a heterogeneous condition of complete psychosocial and physical well-being. Observational studies have revealed that women with infertility have varying degrees of poor mental status and lifestyle choi…
BackgroundA receptive endometrium is a prerequisite for successful embryo implantation. Mounting evidence shows that nearly one-third of infertility and implantation failures are caused by defective endometrial receptivity. This study poole…
Estrogen receptors (ERs) regulate multiple complex physiological processes in humans. Abnormal ER signaling may result in various disorders, including reproductive system-related disorders (endometriosis, and breast, ovarian, and prostate c…
BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to report our experience in treating multiple ureteral polyps with transabdominal laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy (LAP-UU) with intraoperative retrograde ureteroscopy (RU)-assisted technique.MethodsT…
ObjectiveTo introduce a modified hysteroscopic-laparoscopic operation for cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) of stable type III.Patients and methodsWe retrospectively studied the case notes of 31 patients with stable type III cesarean scar pregn…
INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to evaluate whether endometriosis could disturb the mental health and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients and to provide a new prospective for further treatment of endometriosis. METHODS: A comp…
