BACKGROUND: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) affects 1-2% of women worldwide and poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its multifactorial causes. Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) aims to improve outcomes by …
BACKGROUND: Mosaic embryos have been proven to be capable of resulting in live births and have become an option for embryo transfer under certain circumstances. Recent guidelines suggested that embryo morphological scoring should be taken i…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (PDT) for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions of the cervix associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. METHODS: In this study, 1…
BACKGROUND: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) has emerged as one of the leading causes of visual impairment or blindness among newborn infants worldwide. The purpose of this study was to develop a predictive model for ROP using machine learn…
Endometriosis is a refractory estrogen-dependent gynecological disease in which ovarian endometriosis(OE) is the most common, and the main cell components are endometrial epithelial cells and stromal cells. However, constructing ectopic end…
BACKGROUND: Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) can relieve dysmenorrhea, but utilization is low in Chinese women. This systematic literature review was conducted to summarize the design of clinical studies and the effectiveness and safety …
PURPOSE: Compare reproductive outcomes between patients with subtle distal fallopian tube abnormalities (SDFTA) and unexplained infertility (UI) undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF), exploring influencing factors. METHODS: This retrospe…
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Dan'e fukang decoction (DFD) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula. DFD obtains 10 herbs, including Salvia yunnanensis C.H.Wright (Zidanshen), Curcuma zedoaria (Christm.) Roscoe (Ezhu), Angelica sinensis …
BACKGROUND: The weekend effect is a controversial epidemiological phenomenon that has rarely been reported in the assisted reproductive technology (ART) setting, particularly among first-cycle fresh embryo transfer (ET) populations undergoi…
Citrus, which has been consumed internationally for a long time, is widely used as a health food. Citrus and its active components exert significant effects on oxidative stress and lipid metabolism, which are closely associated with female …
INTRODUCTION: Prolactin (PRL) plays a key role in the regulation of reproductive functions. However, its impact on outcomes in infertility women undergoing assisted reproductive technology remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the re…
The human endometrium is a vital component of the female reproductive system that is essential for fertilization, embryo development and female health. However, due to significant ethical concerns and practical limitations associated with h…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pregnancy and perinatal outcomes of different phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients during the frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Additionally, to analyze the T cell balance in the endometrium …
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies and is a highly heterogeneous disease; it is also a leading cause of cancer-related death. Owing to the complexity and late-stage diagnosis of GC, the prognosis remains poor. To exp…
Female infertility represents a significant reproductive health issue that critically affects global fertility rates. In this study, we utilized the most recent data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2021. Initially, we assessed…
The dynamic interplay between hormonal signalling and immune-inflammatory homeostasis is pivotal for regulating endometrial decidualization, which is indispensable for successful embryo implantation. Hormonal imbalance-mediated inflammation…
Current interventions for endometriosis mainly involve hormone therapies but have limited efficacy and unacceptable side effects due to the lack of selectivity to distinguish between endometriosis and endometrial tissues. Elucidating the mo…
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an antimalarial drug that has historically been used to treat and prevent malaria. However, its mechanism of action has not yet been fully elucidated. HCQ affects various cellular and molecular pathways through d…
OBJECTIVES: Endometrial tuberculosis, which commonly affects women of reproductive age, is a significant cause of intrauterine adhesions (IUA), potentially leading to hypomenorrhea, amenorrhea, and infertility. Hysteroscopic adhesiolysis is…
To evaluate whether the Spring Festival has an effect on the outcomes of patients undergoing their first embryo transfer (ET) via in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI). We conducted a retrospective cohort study …
Ovarian cancer (OC) remains one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies, largely due to its late-stage diagnosis and high recurrence rates. Chronic inflammation is a critical driver of OC progression, contributing to immune evasion, t…
BACKGROUND: To distinguish and co-detect aneuploid CD31- tumor cells (TCs) and CD31+ tumor endothelial cells (TECs) may have significant diagnostic values for cervical cancer screening. However, there are very few relevant studies. In the p…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic disease characterized by unclear etiology, influenced by various genetic and environmental factors, with no definitive biomarkers available for early screening. Recent studies suggest that the abdominal micr…
Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare benign tumor originating from the smooth muscle of the uterus. Tumor cells spread along the veins, which may involve the uterine veins, pelvic veins, inferior vena cava, and even the right atrium. …
INTRODUCTION: Ovarian cancer significantly contributes to cancer-related deaths among women. Resistance to anchorage-dependent cell death (anoikis) plays a vital role in facilitating metastasis and worsening patient prognosis. Recent develo…
