The cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) can better reflect the overall treatment effect by successive treatments, and continuous rather than categorical variables as exposure variables can increase the statistical power in detecting the poten…

Endometriosis is a gynecological disease related to menstruation that affects nearly 10% of reproductive-age women. However, so far, there are no reliable diagnostic biomarkers for endometriosis, causing a delay in diagnosis of 6.7 ± 6.2 ye…

BACKGROUND: Declining oocyte quality in women with advanced age has been a major impediment to assisted reproductive treatments' (ART) success rate. However, aging is often accompanied by a diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). Cumulus cells (C…

Controversial conclusions have been made in previous studies regarding the influence of ultra-long gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) in the reproductive outcomes of women with endometriosis who are undergoing in vitro fertiliz…

RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the effect of tubal endometriosis on tubal epithelial ultrastructure and is there a differential expression of exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) in tubal fluid which may affect tubal infertility? DESIGN: Human fallopia…

BACKGROUND: Surgery in elder patients with intermural fibroids delays pregnancy, and GnRH-a can shrink uterine fibroids to a certain extent; therefore, for geriatric patients with fibroids, determining whether GnRH-a pretreatment before fro…

PURPOSE: The reproductive outcomes of patients with endometriosis who are infertile have attracted recent attention. We aimed to explore whether endometriosis affects endometrial receptivity by observing pregnancy outcomes following a euplo…

Skin is a barrier to maintaining the stability of the human environment and preventing the invasion of pathogens. When skin tissue is exposed to the external environment, it will inevitably develop defects due to trauma, injury, burns, ulce…

BACKGROUND: Diminished/decreased ovarian reserve (DOR) is a disorder of ovarian function, which severely affects women's reproductive health. Accumulating evidence has found that adverse environmental factors can affect ovarian function. Ho…

Low-dose aspirin is widely used during frozen-embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Its anti-platelet property makes it a potentially useful drug for the prevention of hypertension disorders of pregnancy (HDP). However, the existing evidence about …

The influence of endometrioma on oocyte and embryo competence is inconclusive. Furthermore, the benefits of surgical treatment remain uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the effect of endometrioma on oocyte and embryo quality from a …

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the factors related to pregnancy outcomes after laparoscopic myomectomy. METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted on 156 patients aged 18 to 45 years who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy in …

BACKGROUND: Preterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal death, and there are no effective clinical means for the prevention and treatment of spontaneous preterm birth, mainly because the mechanism for labor initiation has not been fully …

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of uterine septum resection on reproductive outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) / intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in patients with secondary infertility complicated with uterine septum. METHODS:…

BACKGROUND: With the implementation of the two-child policy in China, more couples have expressed the desire to have another child. We conducted this study to evaluate the incidence of infertility and risk factors in couples intending to ha…

Aims: The primary aim of the current study was to elucidate the function of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) in the eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis. Materials and Methods: STING expression and signaling pathways we…

BACKGROUND: Passive smoking may increase the content of heavy metals in housewives. However, this association remains a subject of debate. Female passive smoking is widespread, particularly in Chinese rural areas. OBJECTIVE: This study aim…

Polygenic risk scores (PRS) for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) have the potential to improve risk stratification. Joint estimation of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) effects in models could improve predictive performance over standard…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Is the singleton live birth rate superior for vitrified-warmed versus fresh embryo transfer in women with adenomyosis? DESIGN: This cohort study retrospectively analysed data from the Reproductive Hospital Affiliated to …

During controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH), cystic anechoic zones in the uterine cavity are occasionally visible. This retrospective matched cohort study collected information on patients who underwent in vitro fertilization/intracyto…

PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was whether endometriosis influences IVF/ICSI and subsequent pregnancy and obstetric outcomes. METHODS: Searches were performed on PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, and Web of Science. Most of the included studies …

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) refers to injury to the basal layer of the endometrium, which can be caused by various factors. It is often accompanied by clinical symptoms such as abnormal menstruation, infertility, recurrent abortion, and per…

Abstract Background: Endometriosis is a chronic disease associated with disorder of the oxidative balance and chronic inflammation. Although endometriosis is a benign disease, it has the characteristics properties similar to malignant canc…

INTRODUCTION: Recently, the rate of caesarean sections (CS) worldwide has risen and CS-associated complications such as niche have increased substantially. Until now, evidence-based clinical guidelines for the treatment of niche-related sym…
