BackgroundChorioamnionitis (CAM) is a common risk factor for preterm births, resulting in several adverse outcomes. The association between infertility treatment and CAM is unclear. Therefore, this study examined the association between inf…

BackgroundCadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and mercury (Hg) have been shown to exhibit endocrine disrupting properties. Their effects on women's reproductive health, however, remain elusive. Here, we investigated associations between blood concentr…

BackgroundEmbryo implantation in a receptive endometrium is crucial for successful pregnancy. Endometrial receptivity (ER) prediction tools based on endometrial transcriptome biomarkers by endometrial biopsy have been used to guide successf…

BackgroundThis study focuses on the risk of early miscarriage in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). These patients commonly experience heightened stress levels and may discontinue tr…

BackgroundDachaihu Decoction (DCD) is a traditional herbal formula widely used for treating acute pancreatitis (AP) in China. However, the efficacy and safety of DCD has never been validated, limiting its application. This study will assess…

Endometriosis is a tumor-like disease with high recurrence. In this case, the accurate imaging-based diagnosis of endometriosis can help clinicians eradicate it by improving their surgical plan. However, although contrast agents can improve…

BackgroundDecidual macrophages participate in immune regulation at the maternal-fetal interface. Abnormal M1/M2 polarization of decidual macrophages might predispose immune maladaptation in recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). However, the mecha…

BackgroundChinese medicinal retention enemas have gradually attracted the attention of clinicians as an alternative approach for tubal obstructive infertility. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of conventi…

HMGB1 that belongs to the High Mobility Group-box superfamily, is a nonhistone chromatin associated transcription factor. It is present in the nucleus of eukaryotes and can be actively secreted or passively released by kinds of cells. HMGB1…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a life-long endocrine disorder and a common cause for female infertility and pelvic pain. The key characteristics of eutopic endometrium of EMs patients are high proliferative and migratory potentials. Cuproptosis is …

BackgroundLiterature regarding the advantages of gasless vNOTES is insufficient. The aim of our study is to compare gasless vNOTES vs. traditional vNOTES on hemodynamic profiles and outcomes in patients with benign gynecological disease. We…

PurposeTranscutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) can be used in patients with infertility. This study explored the impact of TEAS on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and in-vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes in pa…

Iron is essential for the health of reproductive system, and women with iron overload suffer from ovarian dysfunction and lack effective treatment in fertility preservation. However, the underlying mechanism of the detrimental effects of ir…

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) for the treatment of an adenomyosis model of Bama pigs and the changes in the level …

BackgroundThe association of dyslipidemia with embryo development and pregnancy outcomes is largely unknown, especially in unexplained recurrent implantation failure (uRIF) patients. Here, this study aimed to explore the impact of abnormal …

Understanding the microflora inhabiting the reproductive tract is important for a better understanding of female physiology and reproductive health. The endometrial fluid from mice in three reproductive stages (A: Unproductive mice; B: Post…

AimTo compare the pregnancy outcomes of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles among women with repeated implantation failure (RIF) treated with various endometrial preparation protocols.MethodsA total of 605 women with RIF were retrosp…

Recent studies have found that lncRNA-MEG3(MEG3) plays an important role in the development of EMs (Endometriosis), but the specific mechanism needs to be further explored. This study aimed to investigate the effect of MEG3 on the prolifera…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the perioperative outcomes of vNOTES tubal surgeries and to identify predictors of surgical conversion. METHODS: A single-center retrospective cohort study was performed on 619 patients who underwent vNOTES tubal surge…

ImportanceImplantation failure remains a critical barrier to in vitro fertilization. Prednisone, as an immune-regulatory agent, is widely used to improve the probability of implantation and pregnancy, although the evidence for efficacy is i…

Adenomyosis has been associated with adverse fertility and pregnancy outcomes, and its impact on the outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) has received much attention. It is controversial whether the freeze-all strategy is better than fr…

BackgroundConsiderable attention has been paid to reproductive toxicity of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). However, the relationship between prenatal PM2.5 exposure and anogenital distance (AGD) has not been well studied. We aim to investi…

AIM: The aim of this study was to identify the biological characteristics and potential roles of endometrial progenitor cells in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. BACKGROUND: It is generally believed that progenitor cells in human endomet…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the roles of the cGAS-STING signal pathway and autophagy in the disease progression of endometriosis and to explore the regulatory mechanism of the cGAS-STING signal pathway on autophagy. DESIGN: A case-control ex…

Study objectiveTo describe the surgical technique and compare the operative outcomes of gasless and traditional robot-assisted transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (GR-vNOTES vs. TR-vNOTES) in hysterectomy.MethodsThe…
