ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate whether an early LH surge during controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) affects pregnancy outcomes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) a…
BACKGROUND: The adverse impacts of homeostasis disturbance of plasma trace elements on female reproduction, including premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), have received increasing attention recently, yet limited evidence has been reported…
BACKGROUND: Chronic endometritis (CE) has been associated with implantation failure and recurrent reproductive failure. Antibiotic therapy is widely used as a first-line treatment for CE, and previous studies have suggested that successful …
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is an endocrine malignancy with a high incidence. PTC metastasizes more frequently in children and teenagers, although survival of these patients is usually considered excellent. Still, research on regulatory …
BACKGROUND: First implantation failure (FIF) remains a significant challenge in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET), and a considerable proportion of affected women subsequently progress to …
BACKGROUND: Chronic endometritis (CE), characterized by CD138+ plasma cell infiltration, has been proposed to impair reproductive outcomes in assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, current evidence remains inconsistent, and diagno…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of LED red light therapy in alleviating primary dysmenorrhea. METHODS: A total of 119 patients with primary dysmenorrhea were enrolled in 2022. The intervention was LED red light therapy admin…
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a prevalent condition that significantly impairs women's quality of life and is closely linked to dysregulated estrogen signaling. This review examines the mechanisms through which estrogen, acting via nuclear…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian pregnancies at advanced gestational ages are exceedingly rare in clinical practice. The infrequency of this condition, coupled with the nonspecific nature of its symptoms and signs, renders preoperative diagnosis extreme…
BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance (IR) is a key metabolic disturbance that adversely affects assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes. In women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), IR has been well documented to impair oocyte quality,…
PURPOSE: Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is an innovative minimally invasive procedure. The study aimed to evaluate whether vNOTES achieves non-inferior results compared to conventional laparoscopy in patien…
BACKGROUND: Pelvic floor surface electromyography (sEMG) is widely used to evaluate and treat pelvic floor dysfunctions (PFDs). Based on sEMG, the Glazer protocol was developed over 20 years ago with a limited sample size, making it challen…
BACKGROUND: Endometrial thickness (EMT) is a crucial indicator of endometrial receptivity in assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, its relationship with pregnancy outcomes remains unclear, especially across different cycle types …
Chronic stress could impair ovarian reserve through hyperactivation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, leading to reduced oocyte quality and endocrine dysfunction. The ovarian renin-angiotensin system (OVRAS) modulates follic…
Clear cell ovarian cancer (CCOC) is the second most common ovarian cancer subtype, accounting for 5%-11% of ovarian cancers in North America. Late-stage CCOC is associated with a worse prognosis compared to other ovarian cancer histotypes, …
Formononetin (FMN) is a common natural metabolite that can be extracted and isolated from some common botanical drugs. In recent years, FMN has garnered increasing attention due to its beneficial biological activities. In this paper, we sys…
BACKGROUND: Both intramural myomas and thin endometrium exert a detrimental influence on the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART). The downregulation of gonadotropin releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a) is regarded as an effect…
BACKGROUND: Nei Like DNA Glycosylase 2 (NEIL2) is strongly associated with the risk of Cervical cancer (CC), but the mechanism is not yet clear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the potential mechanisms of NEIL2 as a novel pr…
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and its subtypes are serious concerns affecting a woman's quality of life and pose a challenge for her social reintegration. Prolonged labor leading to trauma of the pelvic floor muscles during delivery, surgical…
This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of relative change in E2 levels during controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) on embryo development and pregnancy outcomes in assisted reproductive technology (ART). We retrospectively analyze…
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship and predictive value of Netrin-1 expression and ultrasonic blood flow parameters with the severity of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on 115 p…
BACKGROUND: Thalassemia is a hereditary blood disorder that can impact fertility due to various factors such as iron overload and endocrine disruption. While the effects of iron overload on fertility outcomes in transfusion-dependent thalas…
Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease that significantly affects women's health. Polygala fallax Hemsl. (PFH), a traditional Zhuang medicine, has been frequently used for gynecological disorders. This study inve…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the biological relationship between the regulatory signal pathways involved in differentially expressed genes and recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) by analyzing the gene expression microarray data of unexplained RSA…
