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…
Recent studies have highlighted the crucial role of mechanical properties in the ovarian microenvironment for ovarian function. However, the mechanisms that cause ovarian matrix stiffening during aging remain incompletely understood. Here w…
BACKGROUND: Optimal endometrial thickness and receptivity, precisely regulated by steroid hormones, are critical determinants for successful embryo implantation. Thin endometrium is a major cause of female infertility, yet its pathogenesis …
PurposeThis study aimed to develop a predictive model for diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) in reproductive-aged women with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) by integrating transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound and clinical multimodal data, t…
Endometriosis (EM) is a prevalent gynecological disorder linked to pelvic pain, menstrual disturbances, and infertility. Despite its clinical burden, the molecular mechanisms underlying EM remain elusive, necessitating the discovery of nove…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there a relationship between the location of adenomyosis lesions and obstetric and neonatal outcomes? DESIGN: A total of 466 women diagnosed with adenomyosis via transvaginal ultrasound between January 2019 and Decemb…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecologic disorder associated with pelvic pain and impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have anti-inflammatory potential and may c…
BackgroundIn-vitro-fertilization (IVF) failure rates remain above 65% with unknown causes. Uterine receptivity, largely determined by uterine peristalsis, is believed to play a key role in the IVF success. Accurate assessment of uterine per…
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) has been implicated in female reproductive toxicity, while its long-term effects of prenatal exposure remain unclear. Herein, we conducted a comprehensive NHANES analysis to estimate the Hazard Ratio (HR) of ea…
PurposeTo investigate the hypothesis that an imbalance between the epithelial adhesion molecule E-cadherin and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) underlies the vaginal atrophy associated with menopause.MethodsThis cross-sectional study includ…
sFRP2, a member of the secreted frizzled-related protein family, is an extracellular protein characterized by a cysteine-rich domain and a netrin-like (NTR) domain. By modulating ligand availability, receptor selection, and microenvironment…
BackgroundEnvironmental exposure to trace and heavy metals may influence female fertility, yet their impact on assisted reproductive outcomes remains poorly defined. Maternal diet can potentially modulate metal-related toxicity by influenci…
