Epigenetic regulation of placental development and pregnancy-related disease processes has recently been a hot research topic. Implantation and subsequent placental development depend on carefully orchestrated interactions between fetal and…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is currently considered a chronic disease for which long-term medical treatment is needed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of dydrogesterone in Chinese women with endometrios…

ObjectiveTo explore the micro blood flow characteristics of normal singleton pregnancy placenta in middle and late pregnancy based on microvascular flow (MV-Flow) imaging.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study. Clinical records an…

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) facilitate intercellular communication and the conveyance of bioactive substances, including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. They play a significant role in various reproductive biological processes, includ…

Protein O-GlcNAcylation is a post-translational modification coupled to cellular metabolic plasticity. Aberrant O-GlcNAcylation has been observed in many cancers including endometrial cancer (EC), a common malignancy in women. However, clin…

Infertility affects approximately 15% of couples at child-bearing ages and assisted reproductive technologies (ART), especially in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET), provided infertile patients with an effective solution. The…

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: Endometriosis (EMT) is a prevalent gynecological disorder characterized by chronic pain, menstrual irregularities, and infertility. This study aims to evaluate the global burden of EMT from 1990 to 2021 and to project trends up t…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a major contributor to infertility and pelvic pain, which brings a significant burden on family and society. Although the data of endometriosis in Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 was reviewed, no updated ana…

The skeletal muscle is highly susceptible to injury in daily life. Severe skeletal muscle injuries often result in incomplete regeneration, leading to functional impairment. In clinical practice, understanding the extent of skeletal muscle …

ObjectiveIVF/ICSI is associated with an increased risk of placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAS). Invasive PAS can result in significant adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. This study investigates the impact of IVF/ICSI on the severity …

Ferroptosis, a recently discovered form of programmed cell death triggered by the excessive accumulation of iron-dependent lipid peroxidation products, plays a critical role in the development of various diseases. However, whether it is inv…

PURPOSE: To test the expression profile of transient receptor potential channels (TRPs) in adenomyosis patients and evaluate the effects of primidone on tamoxifen-induced adenomyosis mice. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study included in vivo …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) combined with endometrial thermal balloon ablation (TBEA) for treating adenomyosis-related hypermenorrhagia. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included …

In couples with of non-male factor infertility, prevailing discussions have focused primarily on patients undergoing fresh embryo transfer. However, whether intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) improves reproductive outcomes in patients …

BACKGROUND: Insomnia is increasingly emerging as a significant concern in public health, with a longstanding emphasis on its relationship with overall well-being. Nevertheless, few research has been devoted to investigating the relationship…

BackgroundAdvanced maternal age (AMA) is associated with increased infertility and poor outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF), with limited effective treatments available. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula Qiziyusi decoction…

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disease characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial-like tissue. Despite extensive research, its molecular pathogenesis remains unclear. In this study, we conducted an integrated …

Sheep (Ovis aries) are valuable biomedical models for studying human reproductive biology, however, the transcriptional dynamics underlying their ovarian development remain insufficiently characterized. In this study, we profiled 61,649 sin…

Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is a mesenchymal tumor known for infiltrative growth and lymphovascular invasion. Most examples arise in the endometrium, but some occur in the abdominal cavity without a primary uterine lesion, likely orig…

Ageing of the endometrium is a critical factor that affects reproductive health, yet its intricate mechanisms remain poorly explored. In this study, we performed transcriptome profiling and experimental verification of endometrium and endom…

Nanomaterials are increasingly applied in biomedicine and have significant potential in reproductive medicine. However, because they can impact germ cells, use of nanomaterials could represent a "double-edged sword", whose benefits must be …

Background and objectivesOligomenorrhea and hypomenorrhea were common conditions in outpatient visit which affected child-bearing aged women, and the conventional progesterone treatment has been related to several side effect and contradict…

BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis (AP) can be mild and self-limited, but it can also become severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and lead to multi-organ dysfunction. It is still difficult to identify patients who may develop severe disease at an ea…
