Ovarian aging, a major contributor to declining fertility in women of advanced reproductive age (ARA), is strongly associated with impaired mitochondrial function within oocytes. Although current mitochondrial-targeted strategies can improv…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic value of the nine Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA)-defined ultrasonographic features for adenomyosis and develop an ultrasound scoring system to improve diagnostic accuracy. METHODS: …

Catalpol, an iridoid glycoside predominantly derived from the fresh or dried root tuber of Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch (a member of the Scrophulariaceae family), it is a representative compound with the highest content in Rehmannia glutinos…

ObjectiveUterine angioleiomyoma (ALM) is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor. Its clinical management poses challenges due to difficulties in preoperative diagnosis, an increased risk of intraoperative bleeding due to its highly vascular nature…

BackgroundTotal pancreatectomy (TP) is necessary in some cases to treat pancreatic cancer. However, TP is still controversial due to its unsatisfactory short- and long-term clinical outcomes previously. This study aimed to compare the perio…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of Xiaonang Yusi decoction (XNYSD, ) in patients with phlegm-dampness type polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET), and to investigate its un…

Human endometrial receptivity is a critical determinant of pregnancy success; however, in vivo studies of its features and regulation are particularly challenging due to ethical restrictions. Recently, the development of human endometrial a…

PurposeThis study aims to compare the live birth rate (LBR) and reproductive outcomes between gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) and progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocols in infertile women of advanced repr…

BackgroundThis study aimed to compare reproductive and obstetric outcomes between frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles using letrozole combined with human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) for ovulation induction (OI) and hormone replacement the…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) exacerbated by obesity represents a complex intersection of endocrine and immune dysregulation, significantly impairing reproductive and metabolic health. This characterizes the immune-inflammatory landscape…

BACKGROUND: The SRU consensus on pelvic ultrasound proposed standardized augmented ultrasound, but its validity and indirect signs' role require validation. This study will explore the application value of this consensus in deep endometrios…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease that is the leading cause of dysmenorrhea, infertility, and pelvic pain in women. A growing body of evidence has demonstrated that platelets may play an important role …

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a widely used chemical in industrial production. It can be introduced into the environment through multiple pathways and exhibits resistance to degradation. Recent research has demonstrated a significant …

Cuproptosis is a kind of programmed cell death in which copper reacts with the cycloaliphatic component of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. In this study, we devised a predictive model and a theoretical framework to examine the variation…

BackgroundAdvanced maternal age (AMA) is associated with increased infertility and poor outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF), with limited effective treatments available. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula Qiziyusi decoction…

BackgroundPoor ovarian response (POR) is a pathological condition characterized by inadequate ovarian response to gonadotropin stimulation in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. It represents a primary cause of f…

In the field of genetic breeding, primordial germ cells (PGCs) have become essential cells for gene editing and genetic improvement due to their unique developmental potential and genetic characteristics. However, the low proliferation effi…

Ovarian aging results in decreased fertility and endocrine function. In mice, caloric restriction (CR) maintains ovarian function. In this study, we determined whether CR also has a beneficial effect on reproductive longevity in the nonhuma…

Through a combination of single-cell/single-nucleus RNA-Seq (sc/snRNA-Seq) data analysis, immunohistochemistry, and primary macrophage studies, we have identified pathogenic macrophages characterized by Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 3 (TET…

Until non-hormonal therapeutic targets for endometriosis are suggested, we focused on mitochondrial function and autophagy regulation in the disease. Transcrocetin is a carotenoid and retinoic acid with high antioxidant potency and antiprol…

Mitochondria, the versatile organelles crucial for cellular and organismal viability, play a pivotal role in meeting the energy requirements of cells through the respiratory chain located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, concomitant wit…

Background and aimsIt is demonstrated that lipid metabolism disorders are associated with the reproductive performances of assisted reproductive technology. However, it is little known whether hyperlipidemia is associated with the endometri…

Based on analyses of 22,487,947 person-years of follow-up data in a cohort of 2,523,565 young females, we found that the presence of depression was associated with a higher cumulative incidence of new-onset uterine leiomyoma than the absenc…
