OBJECTIVE: Abnormal contraction of uterus and vascular smooth muscle lead to the formation of hypoxia environment in uterus. Abnormal contraction may be the basis of dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, infertility and other diseases. Phloroglucino…
BACKGROUND: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is often associated with adverse reproductive outcomes. But it's currently unclear regarding the role of SLE in oocyte and embryonic development. Also, it's controversial whether SLE has an adv…
BACKGROUND: To determine whether there is a correlation between stiffness measured by strain elastography and the severity of dysmenorrhea and to determine the value of elastography in evaluating severe dysmenorrhea in patients with adenomy…
BACKGROUND: A premature luteinizing hormone (LH) surge refers to an endogenous LH peak that occurs before follicle maturation or human chorionic gonadotropin injection in the process of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. The effect of pre…
Previous studies have screened key candidate genes for litter size in sheep, including fibrillin-1 (FBN1), family with sequence similarity 184 member B (FAM184B) and zinc finger and AT-hook domain containing (ZFAT). Therefore, it is necessa…
OBJECTIVES: To systematically assess the associations between various immune-mediated diseases (IMDs) and human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated diseases. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: UK Biobank. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 5…
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic used to be a major public health emergency which affected people worldwide, and it affected individuals' body, mood, work and lifestyle to some extent. The pregnant woman affected by the unstable hormone wi…
OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent condition with unclear pathogenesis. Recent findings suggest implicate autophagy and ferroptosis in EMS development. METHODS: We assessed autophagy and ferroptosis proteins in EMS pat…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Do sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) modulators have therapeutic effects on endometriosis in mice and, if they do, which receptor is responsible for these effects? DESIGN: A surgically induced endometriosis mouse model was e…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To explore how to improve the treatment, and prognosis of ovarian pregnancy (OP). PATIENTS: A total of 111 OP patients, one of the patients suffered from OP twice. RESULTS: In this study, 112 OP cases confirmed by postope…
BACKGROUND: Increasing attention has been paid to the survival of endometrial cancer (EC) patients, but the non-cancer causes of death from EC are rarely reported. This study primarily aimed to investigate the non-cancer causes of death in …
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis developing in a cesarean section (CS) scar is an unusual event. Malignant transformation arising on the background of scar endometriosis in the abdominal wall is extremely rare. Herein we report a case of clear cel…

BACKGROUND: Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) treated with either high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation (HIFU-a) or uterine artery embolization (UAE) combined with ultrasound-guided dilation and curettage (USg-D&C) was effective. However, …
OBJECTIVE: To explore potential biomarkers indicating endometriosis (EM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A proteomics method and combined quantitative transcriptomics were adopted to highlight markers in the EM. Venn analysis was used to integrate…
BACKGROUND: Patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) often present with multiple comorbidities, and many of these can affect treatment and survival. However, previous comorbidity studies primarily focused on diseases in commonly used comorbidi…
OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the improvement of symptoms and pregnancy outcomes in infertile patients with various types of adenomyosis who were treated with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between Octobe…
BACKGROUND: Maternal prenatal smoking is known to alter offspring DNA methylation (DNAm). However, there are no effective interventions to mitigate smoking-induced DNAm alteration. OBJECTIVES: This study investigated whether 1-carbon nutri…
RATIONALE: Copious vaginal discharge is a frequent manifestation of reproductive tract infections. However, when little effect can obtain treated as vaginitis, cervical disease should be highly suspected. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 41-year-old wo…
An RNA modification known as N6-methyladenosine (m6A) interacts with a range of coding and non-coding RNAs. The majority of the research has focused on identifying m6A regulators that are differentially expressed in endometriosis, but it ha…
The ability of sibling embryos to form blastocysts may reflect the developmental potential of the embryos that were transferred into the uterus. The purpose of the study was to investigate whether the development speed of sibling embryos po…
STUDY QUESTION: What are the dynamic expression features of plasma microRNAs (miRNAs) during the peri-implantation period in women with successful pregnancy via single frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer? SUMMARY ANSWER: There is a significa…
BACKGROUND: For infertile women with overweight/obesity and insulin resistance (IR), it is uncertain whether intervention before infertility treatment can improve live birth rate (LBR). We implemented a factorial-design study to explore the…
Whether infertility drug exposure increases the risk of borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) remains controversial. The present study was conducted with a comprehensive search for studies published from January 1990 to December 2021 in the onli…
