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…
BackgroundAssisted reproductive technology (ART) has revolutionized infertility treatment, leading to a surge in ART-conceived children. Despite its success, ART-born offspring face higher risks of preterm birth (PTB), low birth weight (LBW…
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…
Stem cell factor (SCF) is implicated in cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis. SCF in follicular fluid (FF) and granulosa cells (GCs) plays a key role in oocyte maturation and clinical pregnancy; however, the…
Abstract Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of dienogest((DNG) monotherapy and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) combined with DNG sequential treatment for adenomyosis. Methods This is a retrospective study.15…
PURPOSE: Women with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) have an increased risk of ovarian insufficiency. However, whether thyroid antibodies affect the ovarian reserve remains controversial. The aim of this study was to explore the possible relati…
PURPOSE: To evaluate whether outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) are affected during the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic. METHODS: This was a single-center, retrospective study. Embryo development, pregnancy, and live birth…
The two most prevalent subtypes of epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) are ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) and high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC). Patients with OCCC have a poor prognosis than those with HGSC due to chemoresistan…
BACKGROUND: ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) leads to a reduced male-to-female ratio at birth, whereas blastocyst transfer results in an increased male-to-female ratio. However, limited knowledge exists regarding the impact of these …
Cuproptosis is a new form of programmed cell death, which is associated with the mitochondrial TCA (tricarboxylic acid) cycle. But the functions of cuproptosis in endometriosis progression are still unknown. Here, we find that cuproptosis s…
The litter trait is one of the most important economic traits, and increasing litter size is of great economic value in the pig industry. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying pig litter traits remain elusive. To identify molecular m…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, a gynecological disease that affects up to 10% of women, is a major cause of pain and infertility. Deregulation of the epigenome is accountable for the onset and progression of endometriosis, although its exact me…
Gut microbiota and its metabolites are related to the female reproductive system. Animal experiments have demonstrated the relationship between gut microbiota-derived short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and embryo quality. However, few studies …
PURPOSE: Laparotomic or hysteroscopic myomectomy, and high-intensity focussed ultrasound (HIFU), can be used in the treatment of Type 2 myomas with a > 50% intramural component. Hysteroscopic electroresection may damage the remaining endome…
Endometriosis is associated with ovarian cancers, mainly endometrioid and clear-cell carcinomas. Iron metabolism has been shown to play a role in endometriosis. Therefore, it is vital to explore the relationship between iron metabolism and …
OBJECTIVE: To study biomarkers to develop a novel diagnosis model for endometriosis and validate it using clinical samples. DESIGN: We used publicly available data sets and weighted gene coexpression network analysis to identify differenti…
OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the impact of the cervical microbiome on reproductive outcomes in frozen embryo transfer (FET) patients. STUDY DESIGN: This cross-sectional study included 120 women (aged 20-40 years) undergoing FET. A cervic…
STUDY QUESTION: What are the differences in gene expression of cumulus cells (CCs) between young women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) and those of similar age with normal ovarian reserve (NOR)? SUMMARY ANSWER: Gene expression and me…
The aim of this study was to investigate whether maternal age had an effect on the birthweight of singletons delivered from frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer (FBT) cycles. A total of 1203 FBT cycles occurring between July 2011 and June 2021…
