Non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is a common tumor of the urinary system. Given its high rates of recurrence, progression, and drug resistance, NMIBC seriously affects the quality of life and limits the survival time of patients. …
This is a case report of a nulliparous young woman who suffered from prolonged menstruation and infertility for 1 year. Magnetic resonance imaging and a transvaginal ultrasound examination revealed cervical endometriosis. Treatment with a g…
PURPOSE: To explore the impact of inactivated COVID-19 vaccination on ovarian reserve as assessed by serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentration. METHODS: A total of 3160 women were included in this single-center retrospective cohort …
Transumbilical single-port laparoscopy is widely used in gynecological surgery. However, it is rarely used in the treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis due to its own shortcomings and the complex condition of deep infiltrating endome…
BACKGROUND: Childbearing in women with advanced maternal age (AMA) has increased the need for artificial reproductive technology (ART). ART and oxidative stress are associated with many pregnancy complications. Paraoxonase (PON) 1 is one of…
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Recent studies indicate that endometrial hypoxia plays a critical role in adenomyosis (AM) development. Mitochondria are extremely sensitive to hypoxic damage, which can result in both morphological and functional impai…
As part of the Human Cell Atlas Initiative, our goal is to generate single-cell transcriptomics (single-cell RNA sequencing [scRNA-seq], 86,708 cells) and regulatory (single-cell assay on transposase accessible chromatin sequencing [scATAC-…
OBJECTIVE: We report a low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) with a novel CDKN1A-JAZF1 fusion gene arising from abdominal wall endometrioma. CASE REPORT: A 40-year-old woman presented with a 5.5-cm abdominal wall mass juxtaposed to t…
BACKGROUND: Postoperative recovery is a complex process and affected mainly by factors from patients, surgery and anesthesia. Although we have all kinds of sedatives and hypnotics now, the selection of an ideal medication for general anesth…
BACKGROUND: Density gradient centrifugation (DGC) and swim-up (SU) are the two most widely used sperm preparation methods for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). However, existing comparisons of IVF/ICS…
This study aimed to explore the effects of endometriosis (EMS)-derived exosomes and miR-301a-3p on the polarization of macrophages and investigate the involved molecular mechanism. The exosomes were isolated from ectopic endometrial tissues…
Galectins (Gal) are characterized by their affinity for galactoside structures on glycoconjugates. This relationship is mediated by carbohydrate recognition domains, which are multifunctional regulators of basic cellular biological processe…
Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is known as a Th17-cell-derived proinflammatory cytokine, which plays a pivotal role in several inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis. Eme…
Abstract Purpose Although numerous studies have attempted to establish the relationship between adenomyosis and infertility, no consensus has emerged. Our aim was to investigate whether adenomyosis and endometriosis affected IVF outcomes in…
BACKGROUND: Luteinizing hormone (LH) can stimulate mural granulosa cells to produce Amphiregulin (AREG), which can induce the resumption of meiosis in oocytes. Theca cells are present in the outer layer of follicles, providing communication…
In order to investigate the metabolic characteristics of human follicular fluid (FF) and to reveal potential metabolic predictors of follicular development (FD) with clinical implications, we analyzed a total of 452 samples based on a two-s…
OBJECTIVES: To establish visualised prediction models of low fertilisation rate (LFR) and total fertilisation failure (TFF) for patients in conventional in vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycles. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study. SETTING: D…
Abstract Purpose : These study aims to assess the impact of endometrioma on patients who undergo ART treatment due to endometriosis. Methods : Retrospective study was conducted in women ≤ 40 years of age who underwent ART treatment at an ac…
Although high-grade serous cancer (HGSC) accounts for >70% of ovarian epithelial cancers, it is rarely associated with endometriosis. No previous study has reported an association between the malignant transformation of uterine ligament end…
Rationale: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is closely linked to follicular dysplasia and impaired bidirectional oocyte-granulosa cell (GC) communication. Given that PCOS is a heterogeneous, multifactorial endocrine disorder, it is importan…
We report a case of giant hysteromyoma and complex pelvic adhesion treated by robotic assisted laparoscopic total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy. The patient was diagnosed with uterine fibroids after physical examination in 1998 b…
Abstract Background Does endometrioma per se, different from endometriosis, have specific impacts on IVF/ICSI outcomes? Dose cystectomy of the endometrioma improve IVF/ICSI outcomes? Methods We retrospectively analyzed 2153 IVF/ICSI cases t…
The frequency and distribution of chromosomal abnormalities and the impact of parental chromosomal aberration on the pregnancy outcomes of couples with recurrent pregnancy loss remains controversial. 3235 RPL couples who experienced two or …
Emerging evidence suggests that children conceived through assisted reproductive technology (ART) have a higher risk of congenital heart defects (CHDs) even when there is no family history. De novo mutation (DNM) is a well-known cause of sp…
Endometriosis is a debilitating gynecologic disorder that affects ∼10% of women of reproductive age. Endometriosis is characterized by growth of endometriosis lesions within the abdominal cavity, generally thought to arise from retrograde m…
