BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with a significantly high risk of spontaneous abortion, yet there is a scarcity of clinical prediction models for early pregnancy loss in this patient population. OBJECTIVE: To ide…
OBJECTIVE: Current studies on adverse pregnancy outcomes in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have primarily focused on metabolic and endocrine abnormalities, whereas systematic investigations addressing live birth outcomes and coagulation d…
INTRODUCTION: Subinvolution of the postpartum uterus is a common puerperal complication. While Chinese herbal hot compress (CHHC) therapy has been widely applied to promote postpartum uterine involution, its underlying mechanisms remain unc…
Ovarian aging, marked by a progressive diminution of oocyte quality and quantity, is a major contributor to declining female fertility and age-related reproductive disorders. However, transcript-level changes underlying this process remain …
BACKGROUND: Elevated homocysteine (HCY) and hyperandrogenism are key metabolic disturbances in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but their relationship across different reproductive outcomes remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate outco…
Metabolites are small molecules that are useful for estimating disease risk and elucidating disease biology. Here, we perform two-sample Mendelian randomization to systematically infer the potential causal effects of 1099 plasma metabolites…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common disease for women of reproductive ages. Individuals with accelerated biological aging are at a higher risk of developing various diseases, however, the effect of biological aging on the risk of endometr…
AIM: This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the detection of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders in a single tertiary care setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All el…
RATIONALE: Intramural pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy in which the gestational sac is embedded entirely within the myometrium, with no connection to the uterine cavity. Early diagnosis and timely management are challenging. P…
Endometriosis affects ~15% of women of reproductive age worldwide, impacting ~190 million individuals. Despite its high prevalence, the precise pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear. Emerging evidence has highlighted oxidative stres…
BACKGROUND: Platelet count (PLT) has been identified as a predictor for the development of pelvic adhesions. However, it remains unclear whether platelet-related parameters can also serve as indicators for the occurrence of intrauterine adh…
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) develop cysts in the kidneys, liver, spleen, pancreas, prostate, and arachnoid spaces. In addition, spinal meningeal diverticula have been reported. …
Tubal ciliary movement is one of the essential transport mechanisms for female fertility, playing a key role in facilitating oocyte pickup and transporting the fertilized ovum. This movement is mediated by multiciliated cells and regulated …
Cilia in the fallopian tubes (CFT) play an important role in female infertility, but have not been explored comprehensively. This review reveals the detection techniques for CFT function and morphology, and the related analysis of female in…
Antimicrobial resistance is a major global health concern. However, the source of gut resistome remains unsolved. We aimed to analyze the contribution of environmental antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) to colorectal cancer (CRC) patient…
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the value of serum human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG), anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), progesterone (P)/ estradiol (E2) in predicting the pregnancy outcome of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycle in patients with …
BackgroundRecent studies have suggested that cell death may be involved in bone loss or the resolution of inflammation in periodontitis. Immunogenic cell death (ICD), a recently identified cell death pathway, may be involved in the developm…
Early pregnancy loss (EPL) is a common event in human reproduction and is classified into histological subtypes such as hydropic abortion (HA) and hydatidiform moles, including complete hydatidiform moles (CHMs) and partial hydatidiform mol…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a challenging disease due to its intrinsic chemoresistance. Immunotherapy is an emerging treatment option but currently impeded by insufficient understanding of OCCC immunophenotypes and th…
Background: Adenomyosis is a hormone-dependent benign gynecological disease characterized by the invasion of the endometrium into the myometrium. Women with adenomyosis can suffer from abnormal uterine bleeding, severe pelvic pain, and subf…
PURPOSE: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a distinct and highly malignant subtype of ovarian cancer with high individual heterogeneity in survival that requires specific prognostic predictive tools. Thus, this study aimed to construct…
Biologically active and nanoscale extracellular vesicles (EVs) participate in a variety of cellular physiological and pathological processes in a cell-free manner. Unlike cells, EVs not only do not cause acute immune rejection, but are much…
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) has cystic fluid accumulations in the kidneys, liver, pancreas, arachnoid spaces as well as non-cystic fluid accumulations including pericardial effusions, dural ectasia and free fluid in…
BACKGROUND: Although the importance of miRNA variants in female reproductive disorders has been frequently reported, the association between miRNA polymorphisms and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) has been poorly studied. In this study, we a…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to optimize the treatment methods of infertility, which is suggested to be mainly caused by thin endometrium, using a special form of traditional Chinese medicine, the Dingkun pill (DKP), to increase the …
