Non-obstructive azoospermia, a severe form of male infertility caused by spermatogenic failure (SPGF), has a largely unknown genetic basis across ancestries. To our knowledge, this is the first trans-ethnic meta-analysis of genome-wide asso…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis, typically associated with heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain, is rarely linked to neurological complications. This case presents a rare instance of ischemic stroke in a young patient with adenomyosis and vascu…
Primary chemoresistance to platinum-based treatment is observed in approximately 33% of individuals diagnosed with ovarian cancer; however, conventional clinical markers exhibit limited predictive value for chemoresistance. This study aimed…
Progesterone receptor (PR)-mediated progesterone (P4) signaling plays a crucial role in the establishment of uterine receptivity which is the prerequisite for successful embryo implantation in mammals. However, detailed molecular mechanisms…
Endometritis is a common inflammatory condition of the uterine endometrial lining that primarily affects perinatal dairy animals and causes significant economic losses in agriculture. It is usually triggered by pathogenic bacteria and is as…
IntroductionChronic endometritis (CE) is a prolonged, mild inflammation of the endometrial lining. This study investigated the impact of the impact of antibiotic treatment combined with vaginal Lactobacillus on pregnancy outcomes in inferti…
INTRODUCTION: A potential association between periodontitis and endometriosis has been indicated in previous observational studies. Nevertheless, the causal link between these two disorders has not been clarified. METHODS: Based on publicl…
ABSTRACT Uterine fibroids (UFs), benign tumours prevalent in up to 80% of women of reproductive age, are associated with significant morbidity, including abnormal uterine bleeding, pain and infertility. Despite identification of key genomic…
BackgroundBisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disrupting chemical with weak estrogenic and anti-androgenic activity, is widely present in various environmental media and organisms. It has certain reproductive toxicity and can cause a variety of…
BackgroundThe accurate prediction of pregnancy outcomes in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles is crucial. While several studies have been conducted on the predictive power of serum estradiol (E2) and β-hCG concentrations post-embryo transf…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether different timings of GnRH-a downregulation affected assisted reproductive outcomes in infertile women with moderate-to-severe intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) accompanied by adenomyosis. DESIGN: A retro…
BackgroundHysterectomy places a considerable physical and mental burden on young female patients with congenital cervical and complete vaginal atresia. Thus, it is necessary to develop a method to detach the obstruction and simultaneously p…
SUMMARY Complications from preterm birth are the leading cause of global mortality in children under age five 1,2 . Spontaneous preterm labor is the most common cause of preterm delivery and is associated with a breakdown of maternal-feta…
PurposeIt is well known that androgen excess impairs oocyte quality, endometrial receptivity and even embryo invasion to some extent. Free androgen index (FAI) is strongly recommended to evaluate active androgen. Previous studies have showe…
Inflammation is an important immune response of the body. It is a physiological process of self-repair and defense against pathogens taken up by biological tissues when stimulated by damage factors such as trauma and infection. Inflammation…
BackgroundVaginectomy has been shown to be effective for select patients with vaginal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and is favored by gynecologists, while there are few reports on the robotic-assisted laparoscopic vagin…
In the last decade, organoid research has entered a golden era, signifying a pivotal shift in the biomedical landscape. The year 2023 marked a milestone with the publication of thousands of papers in this arena, reflecting exponential growt…
BackgroundIn-depth understanding of dynamic expression profiles of human granulosa cells (GCs) during follicular development will contribute to the diagnostic and targeted interventions for female infertility. However, genome-scale analysis…
BACKGROUND: Due to the complex pathogenesis of endometriosis, its early screening and development prediction are still challenging problems in the clinic. OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the significance of miR-375-3p in endometriosis ons…
Mesenchymal stem cells play important roles in repairing injured endometrium. However, the molecular targets and potential mechanism of the endometrial recipient cells for stem cell therapy in intrauterine adhesion (IUA) are poorly understo…
The adverse effect of ambient PM2.5 exposure on very early pregnancy (VEP) remains controversial among epidemiological studies but is supported by toxicological evidence. We adopted a multicenter retrospective cohort of 141,040 cycles to ev…
BackgroundSimnotrelvir is an oral 3-chymotrypsin-like protease inhibitor that has been found to have in vitro activity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and potential efficacy in a phase 1B trial.MethodsIn…
BackgroundAlthough in vitro fertilization (IVF) in infertile patients with endometrial hyperplasia is common after drug treatment, the pregnancy outcomes are often unsatisfactory. Till date, no studies have reported the outcome of patients …
Endometriosis (EMT), a common benign gynecological disease, is a leading cause of infertility in women. EMT affects female fertility in various aspects. However, the underlying mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Mitochondria are kno…
Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that certain of the Transwell invasion assay data shown in Figs. 2C and 4B were strikingly similar to data appearing in different form in …
