The oocytes of female mammals will undergo aging after ovulation, also known as postovulatory oocyte aging (POA). Until now, the mechanisms of POA have not been fully understood. Although studies have shown that cumulus cells accelerate POA…
BackgroundNumerous research have investigated the predictor role of progesterone (P) level on the human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) trigger day of assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes. However, the relationship of progesterone l…
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for the ablation of rectus abdominis endometriosis (RAE) as a noninvasive modality. METHODS: All patients diagnosed with …
Qingyi decoction (QYD) has anti-inflammatory pharmacological properties and substantial therapeutic benefits on severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in clinical practice. However, its protective mechanism against SAP-associated acute lung injury…
In view of their low immunogenicity, biomimetic internal environment, tissue- and organ-like physicochemical properties, and functionalization potential, decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) materials attract considerable attention an…
BackgroundThere is limited concrete evidence connecting serum uric acid levels to female infertility. Therefore, this study aimed to find out if serum uric acid levels are independently related to female infertility.MethodsFrom the National…
Abstract Purpose To test the expression profile of transient receptor potential channels (TRPs) in adenomyosis patients and evaluate the effects of primidone on tamoxifen-induced adenomyosis mice. Methods Eutopic endometrium from adenomyosi…
Granulosa cells are essential for follicle initiation and development, and their abnormal function or apoptosis is a crucial factor leading to follicular atresia. A state of oxidative stress occurs when the balance between the production of…
BackgroundThis study aims to investigate the association between sleep quality and infertility among women and to explore the mediating effects of DNA methylation in this association.MethodsThis study is a population-based case-control stud…
On October 23, 2020, a 69-year-old Chinese female patient was admitted to Yuncheng Hospital due to a history of postmenopausal bleeding and lower abdominal pain for 5 months. The HPV test and pathology results indicated the presence of inde…
Background and aimsThere are limited data regarding the morphology, histopathology, and anatomical distribution of sporadic colorectal polyps in Chinese patients. We evaluated these characteristics of sporadic polyps to guide the endoscopic…
• Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumor to women of reproductive age with no clear pathomechanism. • Current medical therapies are designed to blunt the stimulatory effects of gonadal steroid hormones on uterine fibroids growth.…
The retrotransposon known as long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1), which is currently the sole autonomously mobile transposon in the human genome, can result in insertional mutations, chromosomal rearrangements, and genomic instabil…
BackgroundObesity adversely influences the quality of oocytes and embryos and can affect DNA repair in embryos, leading to reproductive issues. However, the effects of body mass index (BMI) on DNA repair ability in oocytes during intracytop…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the optimal time of laparoscopic cystectomy for unilateral ovarian endometrioma patients and evaluate the influence on ovarian reserve. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective randomized controlled st…
The etiology remains to be understood for endometriosis (EMS) which affected health negatively for 10% of reproductive-age women globally. Emerging studies found the associations of EMS with genital microbiota dysbiosis. However, the role o…
BackgroundCompare the diagnostic performance of ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and serum tumor markers alone or in combination for detecting ovarian tumors.AimTo investigate the diagnostic value of US, MRI combined with …
BackgroundThe poor prognosis of ovarian cancer patients is strongly related to peritoneal metastasis with the production of malignant ascites. However, it remains largely unclear how ascites in the peritoneal cavity influences tumor metabol…
Well-orchestrated maternal-fetal cross talk occurs via secreted ligands, interacting receptors, and coupled intracellular pathways between the conceptus and endometrium and is essential for successful embryo implantation. However, previous …
BACKGROUND: The uterus is prone to many diseases, including endometriosis. Transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) has become a frequently used detection method for deep invasive endometriosis (DIE). METHODS: The combinations of relevant keyword…
AimsWe use CTA and magnetic resonance data to use digital three-dimensional reconstruction and 3D printing technology to reproduce the solid replication of the uterus and surrounding tissues in vitro, fully evaluate the adjacency of tumor t…
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy of assisted reproductive technology (ART) combined with progesterone capsules in the treatment of infertility caused by the diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) and its influence on serum FSH, E2, and L…
To estimate the effects of early cervical lesions (ECL) on female reproductive function and IVF/ICSI cycle outcomes, a retrospective cohort study involving 111 infertile women from 2014 to 2019 was performed. Thirty-seven women with a histo…
