Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) accounts for only 0.2% of gynecological malignancies. Primary low-grade extrauterine endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGEESS) is rare, and its morphology varies according to the tumor's location, po…
BackgroundInformation on the impact of Progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol on embryo euploid status and preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) outcomes is limited compared with other ovarian stimulation prot…
BackgroundUlcerative colitis (UC) is an agnogenic chronic intestinal inflammatory disease. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell (UMSC) is a potential therapeutic approach against UC; however, the mechanisms underlying their efficacy…
BackgroundPhthalate esters (PAEs) are a class of synthetic compounds that are extensively utilized in a range of consumer products, and they significantly affect both environmental conditions and human reproductive health. Especially, many …
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) and adenomyosis (AD) are prevalent gynecological disorders with overlapping symptoms but potentially distinct pathophysiology. This study was to understand different gene expression patterns of eutopic endome…
Reproductive longevity is essential for female fertility and healthy aging; however, the role of stress response, especially stress granule accumulation, in ovarian aging remains elusive and interventions are lacking. Here, we identified de…
Telomeres and telomerase play crucial roles in the initiation and progression of cancer. As biomarkers, they aid in distinguishing benign from malignant tissues. Despite the promising therapeutic potential of targeting telomeres and telomer…
ObjectiveTo investigate whether the previous spontaneous miscarriages affect the cycle outcomes in in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET).MethodsComparisons were made on the cycle characteristics and outcomes between patients (…
PurposeTo evaluate the value of mtDNA copy number measurement in spent culture medium of blastocysts for predicting the chance of implantation following single blastocyst transfer (SBT).MethodsCopy numbers of mtDNA and genomic DNA (gDNA) we…
RATIONALE: Intravascular/intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare benign smooth muscle cell tumor with malignant biological behavior. The early diagnosis of IVL is challenging, and the range of treatment options is extensive. PATIENT CON…
BackgroundE2 is important in follicular development. During monitoring of stimulated cycles, serum levels of E2 are expected to increase steadily with follicle growth until final maturation. Unexpected E2 decline before triggering is report…
IntroductionThe primary clinical challenge associated with follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) lies in accurately diagnosing the condition, particularly in distinguishing it with follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA) due to their overlapping cyto…
BackgroundCervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common type of cervical carcinoma. Usually, the cancer metastasizes through lymphatic or hematogenous dissemination. However, it is uncommon for a superficial spreading of cervica…

BackgroundLow-dose aspirin is one of the widely used adjuvants in assisted reproductive technologies with the hope of improving the live birth rate. However, the studies regarding its effects are conflicting. The study aimed to investigate …
BackgroundTo investigate the impact of chronic endometritis (CE) on the recurrence of endometrial polyps (EPs) in premenopausal women after transcervical resection of endometrial polyps (TCRP).MethodsThis prospective study enrolled 507 wome…
Adenomyosis is a poorly understood gynecological disorder lacking effective treatments. Controversy persists regarding "invagination" and "metaplasia" theories. The endometrial-myometrial junction (EMJ) connects the endometrium and myometri…
PurposeTo evaluate the contribution of the cleavage stage morphological parameters to the prediction of blastocyst transfer outcomes.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted on 8383 single-blastocyst transfer cycles including 2246 fresh a…
Multiple primary malignant neoplasms are a rare gynecologic malignancy; particularly, cases originating from the heterologous organs, such as the ovary and cervix. Here, we report a case of two primary malignant neoplasms in a patient who h…
PurposeTo investigate the impact of heterogeneity in patient indications or insemination protocols on neonatal outcomes of singletons following early rescue ICSI (rICSI) treatments.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted. Propensity scor…
RationaleLobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia is a rare proliferative lesion of the endocervical glands with an unclear pathogenesis. The condition lacks specific clinical manifestations and signs and often leading to clinical underdi…
BackgroundLong-chain noncoding RNA (lncRNA), LINC01569, is important for regulating the extracellular matrix, which affects cell migration. However, its involvement in the occurrence and development of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) r…
NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) plays an important role in the regulation of oxidative stress, which is associated with endometriosis. This study aims to investigate the effects of NOX4 in endometriosis and its molecular mechanisms. Clinical specime…
