The human endometrial immune landscape is critical for homeostasis and pregnancy success, yet its dynamic remodeling across the menstrual cycle and in pathology remains poorly characterized. Here, we construct a comprehensive immune cell at…
BACKGROUND: Uterine mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a rare and biologically aggressive subtype of endometrial carcinoma, estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) are typically absent or exhibit very low expression in t…
OBJECTIVE: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a gynecological malignancy associated with high mortality, largely due to frequent diagnosis at advanced stages resulting from its asymptomatic early presentation. Although several single nucleo…
Uterine adenomyosis is a widespread condition that impairs female fertility, with elevated serum levels of cancer antigen 125 (CA125) and prolactin (PRL) often observed in affected women. Mifepristone has been investigated as a potential th…
Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by pain and infertility, remains a clinical challenge. Current hormonal and surgical treatments are often limited by side effects and high recurrence rates. In search of more eff…
BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, scheduling oocyte retrieval is a challenging issue that requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as the woman's age, ovarian response, hormone levels and other variables. Moreover, there is curr…
Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) poses significant challenges in reproductive health, with emerging evidence implicating DNA damage repair pathways. While GADD45A is a critical regulator of DNA repair, cell cycle and apoptosis, its role in …
OBJECTIVE: To develop a predictive tool in the form of a Nomogram based on the Cox regression model, which incorporates the impact of the length of treatment cycles on the outcome of live birth, to evaluate the probability of infertile coup…
BACKGROUND: Intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) can easily cause female infertility or recurrent abortion, but there is still no effective treatment to improve the pregnancy and live birth rates in patients with IUAs. In recent years, great advan…
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) often have decreased fertility. Gene translation is crucial to oocyte meiosis and development. However, it remains unclear how SLE affects this process. Here, we used single-cell transcriptom…
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Shaoyao Gancao Decoction (SGD) is a renowned traditional Chinese medicinal formulation widely utilized in Asia. It is particularly effective in treating spastic, painful, and inflammatory conditions, especial…
Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is the second most common cause of secondary infertility in women and can also lead to menstrual abnormalities and multiple adverse pregnancy outcomes. Therefore, elucidating the mechanism of its development is c…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex common endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age. Ovulatory dysfunction is recognized as a primary infertile factor, however, even when ovulation is medically induced and restored, …
PURPOSE: Decreased ovarian reserve function is mainly characterized by female endocrine disorders and fertility decline. Follicular fluid (FF) exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to regulate the function of granulosa cells (GCs). Th…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the pathogenic roles of miR-21, estrogen (E2), and estrogen receptor (ER) in adenomyosis. METHODS: We examined the expression levels of miR-21 in specimens of adenomyotic tissue and benign cervical lesions using qRT-P…
Endometriosis is a common and frequent disease in gynecology; its etiology and pathogenesis are partially understood and still not clear. The construction of suitable animal models is beneficial for basic research related to the disease. Cu…
Female fecundity declines in a nonlinear manner with age during the reproductive years, even as ovulatory cycles continue, which reduces female fertility, disrupts metabolic homeostasis, and eventually induces various chronic diseases. Desp…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the number of cells in D3-stage embryos of high-quality blastocysts as a contributing factor, to evaluate the clinical pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles, and to determine the impact of D3-s…
STUDY QUESTION: What are the odds of achieving pregnancy when adopting progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS)-related protocols combined with repetitive frozen-thawed transfer (FET) cycles in patients with different clinical characteri…
PURPOSE: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease and one of the most common gynecological diseases in women of reproductive age. The aim of the review was to explore the relationship between the chromatin regulatory fact…
STUDY QUESTION: Which specific groups of women would not benefit from repeated frozen embryo transfers (FETs)? SUMMARY ANSWER: Women over 45 years of age should stop treatment after three FET attempts due to the absence of further benefits…
BACKGROUND: Ongoing symptoms or the development of new symptoms following a SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis has caused a complex clinical problem known as "long COVID" (LC). This has introduced further pressure on global healthcare systems as there ap…
BACKGROUND: This systematic review aims to explore the prevalence of the impact of the COVID-19, MERS, and SARS pandemics on the mental health of pregnant women. METHODS: All COVID-19, SARS and MERS studies that evaluated the mental health…
BACKGROUND: Vitamin D plays an important role in reproduction. Evidence shown that free 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)VitD) was more accurate than total 25(OH)VitD in reflecting the status of 25(OH)VitD during pregnancy. However, the relations…
OBJECTIVE: The current study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between antimüllerian hormone (AMH) and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) phenotypes and to determine whether AMH is associated with pregnancy outcomes in infertil…
