BACKGROUND: Disturbances in immunological responses and modulation lead to implantation and pregnancy failure and might be involved in the pathogenesis of infertility. This project aimed to screen and identify immune-related genes as potent…

BACKGROUND: Hysterectomy places a huge physical and mental burden on young female patients with congenital cervical and complete vaginal atresia. Thus, it is necessary to develop a method to detach the obstruction and simultaneously preserv…

BACKGROUND: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and unexplained infertility (UI) are common pregnancy disorders that affect women's physical and mental health and lack effective treatment. Endometrial factors are one factor that leads to RPL. Th…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Females represent 49.6% of the global population and constitute a significant proportion of surgical patients and hospital admissions. Little is known about the bi-directional effects of sex and anesthetics or the …

BACKGROUND: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common degenerative disease among females. We previously reported that advanced glycation end products (AGEs), compounds derived from nonenzymatic glycoxidation reactions, accumulated in the huma…

BACKGROUND: By analyzing the detection rate of anti-M antibody in patients with the MNS blood group system in the Hunan area, we aimed to explore its clinical significance and blood transfusion strategy. METHODS: We retrospectively analyze…

BACKGROUND: To investigate the factors associated with postoperative recurrence in patients with ovarian-type endometriosis (EMS) who were treated with conservative surgery and to provide ideas for preventing disease recurrence in advance o…

BACKGROUND: Different from conventional ultrasound, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is better in observing microperfusion. For atypical focal adenomyosis and uterine leiomyomas that are difficult to be distinguished by conventional ultr…

BACKGROUND: Accurate and prompt clinical assessment of the severity and prognosis of patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) is critical, particularly during hospitalization. Natural language processing algorithms gain an opportunity from the…

BACKGROUND: Cesarean sections are increasingly likely to be applied; however, uterine scar defects (USD) often remain after delivery. The two existing treatment methods, hysteroscopic electric resection and vaginal surgery, are still contro…

BACKGROUND: Anembryonic pregnancy (AP) is the most severe dysmorphogenesis of human embryo development and a frequent presentation of early pregnancy loss (EPL). Studies have analyzed the association between assisted reproductive technologi…

BACKGROUND: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common degenerative disease in women which may diminish quality of life. Investigating the pathological changes of the uterosacral ligament, including the functional changes of fibroblasts, is cr…

BACKGROUND: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a critical problem for assisted reproduction technology. High-quality embryos and the synchronization endometrium both have great significance. How to get the optimal endometrial receptivi…

BACKGROUND: Whether gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) pretreatment before transferring frozen-thawed embryos (FETs) could improve the clinical outcome of adenomyosis-associated infertile patients with 56 cm3 ≤ uterine volume …

BACKGROUND: The impact of donor sperm on pregnancy outcomes is controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate whether donor sperm in in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment could reduce the ra…

BACKGROUND: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) has been recognized to be a major obstacle to the successful application of artificial reproduction technologies. In this study, the trends in RIF research were examined through a bibliometri…

BACKGROUND: Sleep disorder is a commonly reported complication in patients who have undergone a hysterectomy, which increases perioperative complications and delays patient recovery. Several pharmacological and non-pharmacological approache…

BACKGROUND: To identify autophagy- and immune-related hub genes affecting the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis. METHODS: Gene expression data were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) (GSE11691 and GSE120103 for traini…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease which seriously impacts female fertility and is increasing in incidence in women of childbearing age. Melatonin has beneficial effects on reproductive processes. However, its impact …

BACKGROUND: A large number of our previous studies showed that endogenous glutamate and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) activation may be involved in various types of acute lung injury, airway inflammation, asthma, and pulmonary fibro…

BACKGROUND: This meta-analysis was performed using Stata (15.0), and sought to systematically evaluate the domestic application value of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GNRH-a) after cervical cancer, and explore its protective e…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic condition that affects women of child-bearing age. Since the etiology and pathogenesis of endometriosis have not been fully elucidated, it is important to investigate the mechanisms that lead to the de…

BACKGROUND: Preeclampsia (PE) occurs in the second half of pregnancy and contributes to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Ferritin plays a key role in pregnancy, but the underlying mechanisms of its involvement in PE remain el…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Cancer is an important disease and can occur anywhere in the body. It is caused by uncontrolled cell growth that spreads to other body parts. This study extensively investigated the transmembrane receptor tissue fa…
