The objectives of this study are to examine the disparities in serum and intestinal tissue metabolites between a perimenopausal rat model and control rats and to analyze the diversity and functionality of intestinal microorganisms to determ…

Endometriosis is a common benign gynecologic condition. Endometriosis lesions are associated with endometrial cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and neovascularization, while the specific molecular mechanisms are still elusive. Transc…

PURPOSE: To summarize evidence on levonorgestrel releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in the treatment of adenomyosis (AM) and to identify potential research gaps. METHODS: Search was conducted in MEDLINE, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, …

Recurrent implantation failure (RIF), a major issue in assisted reproductive technology (ART), may be influenced by necroptosis, a form of cell death linked to several diseases. This study was aimed at investigating the involvement of necro…

Lactic acid (LA) is an essential glycolytic metabolite and energy source in the body, which is present in high levels in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is a reliable indicator for identifying inflammatory …

Pericytes (PCs) are versatile cells integral to the microcirculation wall, exhibiting specific stem cell traits. They are essential in modulating blood flow, ensuring vascular permeability, maintaining homeostasis, and aiding tissue repair …

PURPOSE: We aimed to examine the clinical characteristics of patients with ovarian endometriosis (OMA) who were diagnosed with recurrent pain after laparoscopic surgery in an 8- to 12- year postoperative follow-up. METHODS: We retrospectiv…

BACKGROUND: The objective of our study was to investigate the risk factors for a decrease in ovarian reserve in patients with endometriomas after standardized laparoscopic procedures and evaluation to provide corresponding clinical guidance…

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are two similar gynecological diseases that are characterized by ectopic implantation and the growth of the endometrial tissue. Previous studies have reported that they share a common pathophysiology in some re…

IntroductionFemale infertility is defined as the absence of clinical pregnancy after 12 months of regular unprotected sexual intercourse.MethodsThis study employed metabolomics and proteomics approaches to investigate the relationship betwe…

BACKGROUND: The aim of the study is to investigate the proportion and clinical features of previous spontaneously ruptured ovarian endometrioma among women who underwent elective surgery for endometrioma. METHODS: This retrospective study …

BackgroundLate follicular phase progesterone elevation (LFPE) during ovarian stimulation is associated with reduced live birth rates (LBRs) after cleavage-stage embryo transfer. However, due to better synchronization with a stimulated endom…

The purpose of this study was to implore the association among clinical features, long-term fertility outcomes and the anatomical location of adenomyosis identified by ultrasound. We collected data of non-pregnant patients between 20 and 40…

The two most prevalent subtypes of epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) are ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) and high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC). Patients with OCCC have a poor prognosis than those with HGSC due to chemoresistan…

Research questionDoes glycan profile in spent blastocyst culture medium have the potential to be used as a biomarker to predict implantation outcome.DesignA nested case-control study was conducted in Northwest women's and children's Hospita…

IntroductionIn frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles, hormone replacement treatment (HRT) was associated with a higher risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) compared with natural cycles (NC). Multiple pregnancy was a risk f…

BackgroundHuman chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) as one of the first signals secreted by the embryo to the mother may have a direct effect on the endometrium at implantation. The current study was aim to compare the clinical outcomes after froz…

BackgroundAccording to previous literatures, plasma thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) level was significantly elevated in various malignant tumors and serve as a potential biomarker for diagnosis and prognostic prediction. However, there is litt…

Endometriosis is one of the most common benign gynecological disorders in reproductive-aged women. The major symptoms are chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Despite its profound impact on women's health and quality of life, its pathogenes…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a benign uterine disease and affected patients present with symptoms such as menorrhagia, chronic pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, and infertility. However, the specific mechanisms by which adenomyosis occu…

BackgroundHydrosalpinx may decrease implantation and pregnancy rates after embryo transfer. Laparoscopic tubal ligation after embryo freeze and before frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) is effective at improving reproductive outcomes for h…

Most pregnancy losses worldwide are caused by implantation failure for which there is a lack of effective therapeutics. Extracellular vesicles are considered potential endogenous nanomedicines because of their unique biological functions. H…

ObjectiveVitamin D receptors are present in the female reproductive tract. Studies on the association between serum vitamin D level and pregnancy rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF) showed inconsistent results and focused on a single fresh…
