Diabetes-associated infertility results from interconnected immunometabolic, oxidative, inflammatory, and endocrine disturbances that impair reproductive function in both sexes. Conventional therapies address individual symptoms but often f…
BACKGROUND: Different endometrial preparation protocols are used prior to frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). Optimization of endometrial preparation protocols is mandatory to improve live birth rate and obstetric and perinatal outcomes. I…

BACKGROUND: The effect of pre-pregnancy intrauterine device (IUD) use on subsequent preterm birth (PTB) remains unclear. We aim to investigate the association between IUD use before pregnancy and subsequent PTB. METHODS: A total of 240,437…
Natural products, recognized for their potential in disease prevention and treatment, have been integrated with advanced nano-delivery systems to create natural product-based nanomedicines, offering innovative approaches for various disease…
OBJECTIVE: To systematically review studies on reproductive outcomes following fertility-sparing interventions. METHODS: Various electronic databases were searched and studies reporting reproductive outcomes following fertility-sparing int…
The hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS) family participates in key physiological processes such as follicular development, oocyte maturation, ovulation, and embryo implantation by regulating the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, and plays an importa…
OBJECTIVES: Early menarche affects the mental and physical health of girls, but the evidence of the association between birth weight/rapid weight gain and early menarche is inconsistent. We conduct this systematic review and meta-analysis t…
PURPOSE: This study was designed to evaluate the effects of dual trigger (GnRH agonist and hCG) compared with hCG trigger alone on oocyte quality, embryo development, and pregnancy outcomes in elderly women (aged≥35 years) who underwent IVF…
Triptorelin, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone(GnRH) agonist, is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration(FDA) for treating advanced prostate cancer, endometriosis, and central precocious puberty(CPP) in children aged ≥ 2 years. This …
Sterile and infection-associated inflammatory diseases are becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide. Conventional drug therapies often entail significant drawbacks, such as the risk of drug overdose, the development of drug resistance in p…
To explore the cause-effect relationship between uterine diseases (UDs) and breast cancer (BC) and underlying mechanism of the cause-effect relationship, enhance understanding of the association between BC and UDs. A two-sample bidirectiona…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the cause-effect relationship between uterine diseases (UDs) and breast cancer (BC) and underlying mechanism of the cause-effect relationship, enhance understanding of the association between BC and UDs. METHODS: A tw…
Cellular responses to the steroid hormones, estrogen (E2), and progesterone (P4) are governed by their cognate receptor's transcriptional output. However, the feed-forward mechanisms that shape cell-type-specific transcriptional fulcrums fo…
BACKGROUND: Primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) is often related to adverse neonatal outcomes. But it's currently controversial whether pSS has an adverse effect on female fertility and clinical pregnancy condition. More importantly, it's unclea…
Abstract Background: Living habits affect women's endocrine and fertility over time with aging and in certain circumstances, according to which we can promote women's reproductive health by adjusting living habits. Methods: We utilized two…
BACKGROUND: The causal impact of lipid-lowering drugs on ovarian cancer (OC) and cervical cancer (CC) has received considerable attention, but its causal relationship is still a subject of debate. Hence, the objective of this study is to ev…
PURPOSE: Observational studies and clinical validation have suggested a link between thyroid dysfunction and an elevated ovarian cancer (OC) risk. However, whether this association indicates a cause-and-effect relationship remains uncertain…
PURPOSE: The cryopreservation process damages oocytes and impairs development potential. As a potent antioxidant, C-phycocyanin (PC) regulates reproductive performance. However, its beneficial effects on vitrified human oocytes remain unkno…
In the realm of cancer research, the tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a crucial role in tumor initiation and progression, shaped by complex interactions between cancer cells and surrounding non-cancerous cells. Cytokines, as essential imm…
Though tremendous advances have been made in the field of in vitro fertilization (IVF), a portion of patients are still affected by embryo implantation failure issues. One of the most significant factors contributing to implantation failure…
OBJECTIVE: To exploit the combination diagnostic performance of serum microRNA-134-5p (miR-134-5p) and color Doppler ultrasound in patients with endometriosis patients. METHODS: Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) an…
Despite serum progesterone being a widely accepted method for luteal phase support during embryo transfer cycles, debates persist regarding the optimal strategy for guiding clinical decisions on progesterone dosages to maximize reproductive…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is one of the most common benign gynecological diseases and is characterized by chronic pain and infertility. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a cellular adaptive response that plays a pivotal role in many cell…
Growing research suggests that endometriosis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are both chronic inflammatory diseases and closely related, but no studies have explored their common molecular characteristics and underlying mechanisms. B…
