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…

Telocytes (TCs) have been identified in various animals. However, information on TCs in the embryos is still very limited. In this work, the developing skin of the silky fowl was sampled for TCs identification by histology, immunohistochemi…

BackgroundThe basal luteinizing hormone (LH) and the prior LH to follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) ratio (LH/FSH) in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are generally higher than those in non-PCOS patients and the general population. The po…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) down-regulation prior to hormone replacement treatment (HRT) to prepare the endometrium in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles in women of different ages. METHODS: This was a re…

ObjectivesTo explore the relationship between different types of physical activity and female infertility.MethodsThis study analyzed data from 2,796 female participants aged 18-44 years in the United States, obtained from the National Healt…

BackgroundHysterectomy places a considerable physical and mental burden on young female patients with congenital cervical and complete vaginal atresia. Thus, it is necessary to develop a method to detach the obstruction and simultaneously p…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that affects approximately 5 %∼10 % of reproductive-aged women. Zinc (Zn), selenium (Se), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co) and molybdenum (Mo) are essential trace elements and are very imp…

BACKGROUND: Prior observational research identified dyslipidemia as a risk factor for endometriosis (EMS) but the causal relationship remains unestablished due to inherent study limitations. METHODS: Genome-wide association study data for …

Defects of human trophoblast cells may induce miscarriage (abnormal early embryo loss), which is generally regulated by lncRNAs. Ferroptosis is a newly identified iron-dependent programmed cell death. Hypoxia is an important and unavoidable…

BackgroundOxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of uterine leiomyoma (ULM) with an increasing incidence. This study aimed to identify potential oxidative stress-related biomarkers in ULM using transcriptome data integrate…

BACKGROUND: Insulin like growth factor II mRNA binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3) has been implicated in numerous inflammatory and cancerous conditions. However, its precise molecular mechanisms in endometriosis (EMs) remains unclear. The aim of t…

BackgroundTo identify incidence and underlying risk factors for unsuspected placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) and compare the maternal outcomes between suspected and unsuspected cases in three large academic referral centers.MethodsA retrospe…

BACKGROUND: Although autoimmune abnormalities are common in patients with endometriosis, it is unknown whether patients with endometriosis have a higher risk of developing antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). METHODS: We conducted a retrospect…

In female mammals, the proliferation and apoptosis of granulosa cells (GCs) have been shown to determine the fate of follicles. DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and SLCO3A1 have been reported to be involved in the survival of GCs and follicul…

IntroductionThe infertile patient's knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) toward embryo transfer may affect treatment outcomes and the mental health of women who underwent in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). This study aimed …

Endometriosis (EMs) is an inflammatory, estrogen-dependent disease characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. Despite many efforts to develop effective treatment regimens, the overall response to halting EMs …

The abnormal proliferation and differentiation of oral mucosal fibroblasts (FBs) is the key to the progression of oral submucosal fibrosis. To clarify the mechanism of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB)-induced FBs fibrosis in oral mu…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a major cause of infertility, but the pathogenesis and mechanisms are not yet fully elucidated. MiR-19b-3p is involved in many diseases, but its functional role in EM-associated infertility remains unexplor…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, characterized by the presence of active endometrial-like tissues outside the uterus, causes symptoms like dysmenorrhea and infertility due to the fibrosis of endometrial cells, which involves excessive deposition …

The adverse effect of ambient PM2.5 exposure on very early pregnancy (VEP) remains controversial among epidemiological studies but is supported by toxicological evidence. We adopted a multicenter retrospective cohort of 141,040 cycles to ev…

INTRODUCTION: Over the past decades, immune dysregulation has been consistently demonstrated being common charactoristics of endometriosis (EM) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in numerous studies. However, the underlying pathological m…

Curcumin, an extensively utilized natural pigment in the food industry, has attracted considerable attention due to its potential therapeutic effects, such as anti-tumorigenic and anti-inflammatory activities. The enzyme 17β-Hydroxysteroid …

ObjectivesTo evaluate if vaginal metronidazole for 5 days before hysterectomy decreases postoperative infections and patient issues.DesignThis randomized trial compared vaginal metronidazole for 5 days before a scheduled hysterectomy to no …
