BackgroundTotal fertilization failure (TFF) or near TFF may lead to cycle cancellation, which is a highly frustrating experience for patients, especially those who have undergone multiple attempts. Early rescue intracytoplasmic sperm inject…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common, chronic, estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder that significantly affects patients' quality of life. However, the disease burden and its trends may be undergoing significant changes, and comprehens…
BackgroundFew studies have analyzed the endometrial preparation protocols for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) in patients at high risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). This study aimed to investigate the optimal protocol for…
The periconception period is critical for embryo development, pregnancy outcomes, and offspring health. During this stage, oviductal and uterine fluids facilitate embryo-maternal interactions and support early embryonic development. Using P…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent gynecological disease afflicting reproductive-age women, characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. The clinical manifestations of this condition include pelvic pain, dyspareun…
The impact of endometriosis and adenomyosis on reproduction and pregnancy is significant, with both conditions linked to increased rates of infertility, poor ovarian function in women with endometriosis, and elevated pregnancy complications…
Research questionDoes preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) on cryopreserved unbiopsied blastocysts improve pregnancy outcomes for women with previous IVF-related pregnancy loss?MethodsThis retrospective observational study…
We present the case of a 39-year-old Chinese woman who presented with a palpable mass in her abdominal wall and pelvic cavity 9 years after undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy. Six abdominal wall fibroids, 18 intramural fibroids, 1 posterior…
Endometriosis is a chronic condition with limited therapeutic options. The molecular aberrations promoting ectopic attachment and interactions with the local microenvironment sustaining lesion growth have been unclear, prohibiting developme…
Endometriosis (EMs) is a common gynecological disorder frequently associated with infertility, yet the underlying immune mechanisms remain poorly understood. Sun's Bushen Huayu Formula (BSHYF) has been clinically applied to improve fertilit…
This study investigated the prognostic impact of lymph node dissection (LND) in patients with stage I ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC) and aimed to identify the optimal LND range for improved survival. By analyzing data from the Surveil…
OBJECTIVE: To summarize evidence on the efficacy and safety of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in managing adenomyosis (AM), both as a monotherapy and in combination with other therapies. METHODS: We searched Med…
PURPOSE: The present study investigated the expression and role of miR-183 in the proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis of endometrial stromal cells in endometriosis patients and the potential involvement of targeting Ezrin. ME…
BackgroundWith the increasing incidence of obesity and the childbearing-age delay among women, a debate over obesity's impacts on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes becomes hot. The potential negative effects of obesity and aging on fertility …
PurposeTo evaluate the association between first trimester (≤ 12 weeks gestation) subchorionic hemorrhage (SCH), and maternal and neonatal outcomes in women who conceived with the help of assisted reproductive technique (ART).MethodsPubMed,…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Are there correlations between the biological expression of steroid receptors and the extent of fibrosis in adenomyotic lesions, and the treatment effectiveness of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS…
BackgroundBisphenol A (BPA) levels are high in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The mechanism by which BPA induces abnormal glucose metabolism in PCOS patients is largely unknown.MethodsSerum and urine samples were collected fro…
Despite decades of research, endometriosis remains a mysterious gynecological disease with unknown etiology and pathogenesis. Krüppel-like Factor 6 (KLF6), a transcription factor, has a wide expression profile and regulates a variety of bio…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the distribution of nerve fibers in abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) and discern their association with pain. METHODS: A retrospective case-control study was conducted. The cases comprised 30 patien…

GoalsIn this study, we conducted this network meta-analysis (based on the ANOVA model) to evaluate the predictive efficacy of each early predictor.BackgroundPersistent organ failure (POF) is one of the determining factors in patients with a…
ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of adding 4 mg estradiol valerate to progesterone for luteal support on pregnancy rates in IVF cycles following a long protocol with reduced luteal serum estradiol levels post-hCG triggering.…
In recent years, a growing body of research has confirmed that the gut microbiota plays a major role in the maintenance of human health and disease. A gut microbiota imbalance can lead to the development of many diseases, such as pregnancy …
PurposeTo evaluate the embryological and pregnancy outcomes of women who failed in their first IVF treatment if they attempted a second cycle.MethodsFor evaluating the embryological outcomes, the study cohort included 1,227 women who failed…
The incidence of multiple pronuclei (≥ 3PN) zygotes and blastomere multinucleation was found to be elevated in the presence of increased estradiol (E2) levels and a greater number of retrieved oocytes. This implies a potential link between …
