OBJECTIVE: To compare the proteomic composition of follicular fluid from women with normal weight vs. women with obesity but without a history of polycystic ovary syndrome or known ovarian dysfunction undergoing in vitro fertilization. DES…
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…

PURPOSE: To report experience designing and establishing a reproductive registry and sample biorepository and to describe initial subject characteristics and biospecimens. METHODS: Beginning in December 2017, patients presenting for reprod…
BACKGROUND: To summarize our experience with the Boari flap-psoas hitch and compare the indications, perioperative data and outcomes between open and laparoscopic procedures. METHODS: This study retrospectively reviewed 35 patients with co…
BACKGROUND: The human endometrium in premenopausal women is an active site of physiological angiogenesis, with regenerative cells present, suggesting that the endometrium contains adult angiogenic stem cells. In the context of cardiac repai…
BACKGROUND: To describe our initial experience with robotic ureteral reimplantation for the management of ureterovaginal fistulas. METHODS: Between January 2018 and January 2020, four patients received robotic ureteral reimplantation for u…
Abstract Background: To present the experience of surgical management of ureteral endometriosis (UE) in our single center. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 40 cases of UE who had intraoperative surgical findings of endometriosis involvi…
PROBLEM: For women of reproductive age, achieving a successful pregnancy requires both the normal functioning of reproductive endocrine and the health of the reproductive tract environment. We aimed to study how these fertility factors, suc…
Experiments were conducted to determine if the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) receptor binding inhibitor (FRBI) impacts the expression levels of AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A (ARID1A) and phosphatase and tensin homolo…
BACKGROUND: Embryonic mortality is a major concern in the commercial swine industry and primarily occurs early in gestation, but also during mid-gestation (~ days 50-70). Previous reports demonstrated that the embryonic loss rate was signif…
In recent years, studies have shown that enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) can be transcribed from enhancers. Increasing evidence has revealed that eRNAs play critical roles in the development of various cancers. Oestrogen-associated eRNAs are closely …
