Limited understanding exists regarding how aging impacts the cellular and molecular aspects of the human ovary. This study combines single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to systematically characterize human ovarian aging. S…

BACKGROUND: Currently, awareness about platelet count (PC) and its consequences for perinatal outcome have increased, but there is little reliable evidence on fecundability. METHODS: Based on the National Free Pre-conception Check-up Proje…

Abstract Background Endometriosis is considered as a systemic disease with the presence of proinflammatory cytokines in the circulation, which drives hypercoagulable state. Currently, endometriosis is classified into four stages: I (minimal…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is considered as a systemic disease with the presence of proinflammatory cytokines in the circulation, which drives hypercoagulable state of endometriosis. Currently, endometriosis is classified into four stages: I…

PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of fresh embryo transfer and frozen-thawed embryo transfer on perinatal outcomes among patients with PCOS. METHOD: Patients who underwent in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer at the reproductive me…

BACKGROUND: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a non-pharmacological treatment that works by delivering electrical currents via electrodes attached to the skin at the site of pain. It can be an alternative to pharmacologi…

Mitochondria are the center of energy metabolism in eukaryotic cells and play a central role in the metabolism of living organisms. Mitochondrial diseases characterized by defects in oxidative phosphorylation are the most common congenital …

Excessive uric acid levels may affect several organs and systems in the body. There is limited evidence of the effects of high serum uric acid levels on the female reproductive system. This study used the National Health and Nutrition Exami…

Biologically active and nanoscale extracellular vesicles (EVs) participate in a variety of cellular physiological and pathological processes in a cell-free manner. Unlike cells, EVs not only do not cause acute immune rejection, but are much…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease. Hormonal and surgical treatments are the most commonly used clinical therapies, but they have many sides effects or are traumatic to the body. Therefore, specific drugs fo…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis can lead to a state of chronic inflammation marked by the presence of scarring and adhesions within the pelvis and/or other parts of the body. Recent estimates suggest that globally this condition affects approxi…

Endometriosis, an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the growth of endometrium-like tissues outside the uterine cavity, affects 10% of reproductive-age women. Although the pathogenesis of endometriosis is uncer…

Curcumae Longae Rhizoma (turmeric), Curcumae Radix and Curcumae Rhizoma are derived from the Curcuma species, and have gradually become three of the most commonly used medicinal herbs in China due to their different origins, processing meth…

BACKGROUND: Hysterectomy is a widely used surgical approach for benign gynecological conditions, although recently there have been differences in the surgical route selected in different regions. AIMS: To estimate recent temporal trends, t…

BACKGROUND: The incidence of Y chromosome microdeletions varies among men with infertility across regions and ethnicities worldwide. However, comprehensive epidemiological studies on Y chromosome microdeletions in Chinese men with infertili…

Sepsis, a leading contributor to the death of inpatients, results in severe organ dysfunction as complications. The heart is one of the major organs attacked by sepsis, and the effective control of the inflammatory cascade reaction in sepsi…

The diagnosis and treatment of unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) are subject to debate, because the exact underlying mechanisms remain unclear. To address this issue, we elucidated the expression profiles of dysregulated cir…

The septate uterus is the most common structural uterine anomalies and it is associated with the poor reproductive outcome. It is believed to be the result of the failure in resorption of the tissue connecting the 2 paramesonephric ducts pr…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of weight loss on pregnancy outcomes, PCOS related neuronal-reproductive-metabolic hormones and ovarian granulosa cell gene expression profiles in obese PCOS infertile patients undergoing in vitro fertil…

BACKGROUND: Recurrence 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 recurren…

ObjectiveWe aimed to evaluate the future outcomes of patients undergoing their first IVF (in vitro fertilization) attempt with no oocyte retrieved, no normal zygotes formed, or no embryos available for transfer and to identify factors affec…

Background: Endometriosis affects endometrial receptivity, a key factor for successful embryo implantation. Metformin treatment is associated with alleviating the symptoms of endometriosis; however the mechanism of metformin action is uncle…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Is the singleton live birth rate superior for vitrified-warmed versus fresh embryo transfer in women with adenomyosis? DESIGN: This cohort study retrospectively analysed data from the Reproductive Hospital Affiliated to …

How LH levels influenced the outcomes of monofollicular IVF cycles using different stimulation protocols was controversial. In this single-center, retrospective study, we analyzed 815 monofollicular IVF cycles between 2016−2022 using natura…

BACKGROUND: Preeclampsia (PE) occurs in the second half of pregnancy and contributes to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Ferritin plays a key role in pregnancy, but the underlying mechanisms of its involvement in PE remain el…
