Endometritis is generally caused by bacterial infections, including both acute and chronic infections. In the past few decades, accumulated evidence showed that the occurrence of diseases might be related to gut microbiota. The progression …

Purpose: This study was designed to reveal the molecular differences between granulosa cells (GCs) from patients with endometriosis and normal controls. Methods: RNA sequencing was performed on GCs from patients with EM-related infertility …

Ovarian carcinoma (OV) is a lethal gynecological malignancy. Most OV patients develop resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy and recurrence. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are the ligand activating transcription fact…

BackgroundA rapid development in assisted reproductive technology (ART) has led to a surge in its popularity among target couples. However, elucidation on the molecular mechanism and effective solutions for a common problem posed by ART, na…

BackgroundRecurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a major limitation of assisted reproductive technology, which is associated with impaired endometrial receptivity. Although N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been demonstrated to be involved in v…

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are key regulators in the pathophysiology of gastric cancer, and lncRNAs have been regarded as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for gastric cancer. The present study performed the WGCNA analysis of…

A 24-year-old woman who wished to become pregnant presented to our hospital with an enlarged ovarian endometrioma and developmental abnormality of the uterus. Robert's uterus complicated by hematosalpinx, ovarian endometrioma, and endometri…

BackgroundAbnormal endometrial receptivity is one of the major causes of embryo implantation failure and infertility. The plasma membrane transformation (PMT) describes the collective morphological and molecular alterations occurring to the…

To investigate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in ovarian thecoma and improve preoperative diagnostic accuracy.Retrospective analysis was performed on 45 patients with surgically and pathologically confirmed ovarian thecoma. P…

BackgroundRepeated implantation failure (RIF) is currently believed by some scholars to be mainly related to the poor endometrial receptivity. Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound, as a noninvasive examination, has attracted the most attention…

BackgroundThe endometrial luminal epithelium is the first point of attachment of embryos during implantation. Failure of embryos to firmly adhere results in implantation failure and infertility. A receptive endometrial luminal epithelium is…

Aim: To explore the circular RNA (circRNA) profile in cumulus cells from endometriosis-associated infertility patients. Methods: The expression of circRNAs was profiled by high-throughput sequencing. Sanger sequencing was performed to ident…

Objective: Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common gynecologic malignancy; myometrial invasion (MI) is a typical approach of EC spreads and an important index to assess tumor metastasis and outcome in EC patients. CCT7 is a member of the TCP1 c…

Research questionWhat is the expression pattern of microRNA (miRNA) in exosomes isolated from eutopic endometrial stromal cells (EuESC) of women with endometriosis-associated infertility?DesignSmall RNA sequencing was conducted in exosomes …

BACKGROUND: Yuzhi Zhixue Granule (YZG) is a traditional Chinese patent medicine for treating excessive menstrual flow caused by ovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding (ODUB) accompanied by heat syndrome. However, the underlying molecular …

Master regulator genes (MRGs) have become a hot topic in recent decades. They not only affect the development of tissue and organ systems but also play a role in other signal pathways by regulating additional MRGs. Because a MRG can regulat…

Objective The transcription factor Specificity protein 1 (Sp1) plays important roles in many critical biological functions; however, its expression and underlying functions in endometriosis remain undefined. Bioinformatics has suggested tha…

BackgroundThis clinical trial aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of highly purified human menopausal gonadotropin (HP-HMG) plus recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (rFSH) versus rFSH alone on controlled ovarian stimulation (C…

tRNA-derived fragments are dysregulated and could be involved in the pathogenesis and progression of ovarian endometriosis.

Insulin resistance (IR) is prevalent in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Improvement in insulin sensitivity remains one of the most effective treatment strategies for women with PCOS. This study aims to investigate the efficacy …

PurposeIt is unclear if a 3D transducer with the special design of mechanical swing or 2D array could provide acceptable 2D grayscale image quality for the general diagnosis purpose. The aim of this study is to compare the 2D image quality …

AIM: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) with miRNA response elements (MREs) could function as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) in regulating gene expression. This study was carried out to identify the expression profile and role of circRNAs in endome…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a relatively common condition in women of reproductive age. Malignant transformation of intestinal endometriosis is a very rare event. We report a case in which a patient with a history of endometriosis underwen…

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >250 loci for body mass index (BMI), implicating pathways related to neuronal biology. Most GWAS loci represent clusters of common, noncoding variants from which pinpointing causal gene…
