BACKGROUND: Aspartame, a widely used artificial sweetener, has been implicated in multiple toxicities. However, its potential reproductive toxicity mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the underlying relationship betwe…

PurposeTo determine whether intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) improves cumulative live birth rates (cLBR) compared with conventional IVF among patients with non-male factor infertility.MethodsThis descriptive retrospective cohort stud…

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…

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) is a rare congenital genitourinary abnormality defined by uterine didelphys, obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral urological anomalies. Accurate diagnosis and prompt commencement of therapy can be …

BackgroundPreeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific clinical syndrome and can be subdivided into early-onset preeclampsia (EOPE) and late-onset preeclampsia (LOPE) according to the gestational age of delivery. Patients with preeclampsia have abe…

Introduction: Endometriosis is a prevalent and recurrent medical condition associated with symptoms such as pelvic discomfort, dysmenorrhea, and reproductive challenges. Furthermore, it has the potential to progress into a malignant state, …

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies. Although some patients benefit from immunotherapy, the majority of patients have unsatisfactory immunotherapy outcomes, and the clinical significance of immune-related genes in gastric …

ObjectivesTo examine the relationship between Vitamin D status and pain intensity and disability in individuals with and without knee pain, and to examine the role of epigenetics in this relationship.DesignCross-sectional analysis of data f…

BackgroundHerlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome is a rare congenital Mullerian duct anomaly disease that is characterized by a triad of symptoms, didelphys uterus, blind hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. Herein, we reported a ca…

Background: Infertility is a global health concern. MEIOB has been found to be associated with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA), but its variants have not been reported in Chinese patients. The aim…

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the main regulator of physiological angiogenesis during embryonic development, bone growth, and reproductive function, and it also participates in a series of pathological changes. Traditional Ch…
