Owing to its difficulty in degrading and ease of accumulation in the body, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) has a detrimental effect on reproduction. This study aimed to examine the effect of PFOA concentration in follicular fluid during ovula…

Background: The SARS-CoV-2 virus is continually evolving, and the worldwide epidemic is still ongoing. There is conflicting evidence regarding how SAS-CoV-2 infection affects the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART). The aim …

Cuproptosis is a new form of programmed cell death, which is associated with the mitochondrial TCA (tricarboxylic acid) cycle. But the functions of cuproptosis in endometriosis progression are still unknown. Here, we find that cuproptosis s…

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to determine whether, on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection, the progesterone to number of mature oocytes index (PMOI) can be used alone or together with other parameters in a fresh e…

Objective: To investigate the familial heritability of endometriosis and to compare the clinical characteristics of patients with or without a family history of endometriosis. Methods: From January 2020 to June 2022, 850 patients with endom…

Bone cancer pain (BCP) is mainly caused by bone metastasis and markedly impairs the functional capacity and daily functions of patients. Neuroinflammation plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and maintenance of chronic pain. Oxidative s…

Macrophages, as central components of innate immunity, feature significant heterogeneity. Numerus studies have revealed the pivotal roles of macrophages in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis induced by various factors. Hepatic macrophages f…

BackgroundOocyte degeneration was mostly described in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles; there is no report showing the relationship between oocyte degeneration and clinical outcomes in conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF)…

Ovarian combined serous borderline tumor/low-grade serous carcinomas (SBT/LGSC) and mesonephric-like adenocarcinomas (MLA) have been previously reported and the presence of identical oncogenic somatic mutations in both components supports t…

Endometriosis is a common inflammatory disease in women of reproductive age and is highly associated with infertility. However, the molecular mechanism of endometriosis remains unclear. 6-Phosphofructose-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase…

Background: Male and female gametes factors might contribute to the total fertilization failure (TFF). In first in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, decision-making of insemination protocol was mainly based on semen quality for the contribu…

HAND2 is a critical mediator of progesterone receptor signaling in endometrium. Silencing of HAND2 expression is associated with female infertility and endometrial cancers. We recently observed that lncRNA HAND2-AS1 and HAND2 are expressed …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the risk of recurrence and reintervention after uterine-sparing treatment options for symptomatic adenomyosis, including adenomyomectomy, uterine artery embolization (UAE), and image-guided thermal ablation. DATA SOU…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine and metabolic disorder characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation. Previous studies have demonstrated that the gut microbiome can affect the host tissue cells' mRNA N6-methyladenosine (m…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) occurs when normal uterine tissue grows outside the uterus and causes chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Endometriosis-associated infertility is thought to be caused by unknown mechanisms. In this study, us…

The motility of the gallbladder (GB) involves the storage, concentration and delivery of bile. GB motor functions are controlled by multiple complex factors, such as extrinsic and intrinsic innervation, humoral factors and neuropeptides. GB…

BackgroundOvarian cancer is the leading cause of gynecological cancer related death in females worldwide. Our previous study demonstrated that decreased expression of microRNA (miR-126) promoted ovarian cancer angiogenesis and invasion by t…

Endometritis is a kind of common obstetric disease in women, usually caused by various pathogenic bacteria. Neutrophil infiltration is one of the most important pathological features of endometritis. Neutrophils can reach the uterine cavity…
