UNLABELLED: A good quality egg is essential for a successful pregnancy and early embryo development. Oocyte development is vulnerable to environmental exposures. Bisphenol S (BPS) is widely used as a replacement for its analog bisphenol A, …

DISIGN: This is a cross-sectional study. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with body image disturbances in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS: This study included married women diagn…

Oxidative stress is a significant factor affecting reproductive efficiency in dairy cows, contributing to conditions such as endometritis that impair fertility and milk production. This study investigates the molecular mechanisms by which b…

BACKGROUND: Uterus ageing is a crucial factor contributing to decreased fertility in older women and is also implicated in menstrual disorders, endometritis, and adenomyosis. Bushen Jianpi Tiaoxue Decoction (BJTD) is a traditional Chinese m…

INTRODUCTION: Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) is a rare malignant tumor of the uterus, characterized by slow growth. Early-stage LGESS is associated with favorable survival, but it has a high recurrence rate. The primary treat…

Infertility impacts 48 million couples globally, and accumulating evidence suggests that micronutrients potentially influence reproductive health. This Mendelian randomization study investigates causal relationships between 15 micronutrient…

BACKGROUND: As the precursor malignancy of endometrial cancer (EC), about 50% of endometrial complex atypical hyperplasia (CAH) will eventually progress to EC. Elucidating the underlying transformation mechanisms could aid in disease manage…

RESEARCH QUESTION: How does tubal endometriosis (TEM) impact the morphology and ultrastructure of tubal epithelium, and what are the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of TEM? DESIGN: Epithelial samples of fallopian tube were collect…

The lack of accurate understanding of cellular physiology and pathophysiology during the WOI constitutes the major obstacle to correct diagnosis and treatment for patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). The role of cilia as one …

BACKGROUND: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is characterized by ovarian dysfunction that develops from diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). The exact aetiology of POI remains poorly understood. This study aims to elucidate the role of CK…

OBJECTIVE: Clear cell borderline ovarian tumor is a rare subtype of borderline ovarian tumor for which the clinicopathological characteristics, management, and prognosis remain unclear. Herein, we describe the clinical features, treatment o…

OBJECTIVE: To identify clinical characteristics and risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes after clinical pregnancy following laparoscopic tubal anastomosis (LTA). METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 253 patients undergoing LTA (May 20…

BACKGROUND: Endometrial hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) is an exceedingly rare tumor. Histologically, the tumor is predominantly characterized by HAC with additional components, as documented in previous reports. The coexistence of endometria…

BACKGROUND: Uterine fibroids present significant obstetric challenges, particularly in late pregnancy. This study compared the outcomes of cesarean section combined with myomectomy (CS+M) versus cesarean section followed by elective myomect…

Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is a commercially available antiseptic used in bovine intrauterine lavage to manage postpartum infections. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are well-studied for their ability to induce inflammation and oxidative stre…

This study investigated differences in reproductive outcomes and vaginal microbiota profiles between two endometrial preparation protocols-letrozole (LE) combined with human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) and hormone replacement therapy (HRT…

BACKGROUND: Mosaic embryos have been proven to be capable of resulting in live births and have become an option for embryo transfer under certain circumstances. Recent guidelines suggested that embryo morphological scoring should be taken i…

Isothermal, enzyme-free amplification techniques, such as the hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA), have gained significant attention for mRNA analysis. Despite their potential, these methods still face ch…

PURPOSE: To investigate possible differences in cumulative live birth rates (CLBRs) among three progestins medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), dydrogesterone (DYG), and Progesterone within the progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) prot…

Curcumin, the principal bioactive compound derived from turmeric, possesses a wide range of therapeutic properties such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties. Recent studies suggest that curcumin may alleviate HMGB…

UNLABELLED: Vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) is a chronic skin condition affecting the vulva, causing significant discomfort, but its etiology in prepubertal girls remains poorly understood. VLS presents with itching, irritation, and pain. Rec…

RESEARCH QUESTION: To investigate the underlying mechanisms driving the opposing effects of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGFβ1) on the proliferation of control (CESCs) and ectopic (EESCs) endometrial stromal cells. DESIGN: Cell proli…

Melatonin is a hormone released by the pineal gland that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. It has been widely studied for its therapeutic effects on Alzheimer's disease (AD), particularly through the amyloidosis, oxidative stress, and neuroin…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the developmental potential of zygotes without pronucleus (0PN) and to examine the pregnancy outcomes of euploid blastocysts derived from these zygotes. METHODS: A total of 4580 fresh autologous preimplantation genet…

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is recognized as one of the leading causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) worldwide, representing a rapidly growing global public health concern. Despite significant advance…
