PURPOSE: Precocious puberty (PP) is a pediatric endocrine disorder. Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disruptor. This study aimed to computationally investigate BPA-associated PP targets and mechanisms via network toxicology and molecular d…

INTRODUCTION: Accurate and non-invasive assessment of early embryonic metabolic biomarkers and their association with developmental potential remains a major challenge in assisted reproductive technology (ART). Glucose is a key metabolic co…

BACKGROUND: Implantation failure is the most common cause of pregnancy failure and is a major limiting factor in assisted reproduction. Plasma microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles show dynamic changes among individuals with successful impla…

BACKGROUND: Chronic endometritis (CE) has been widely recognized as a potential cause of infertility, however, access to effective treatment is a formidable challenge due to the rudimentary understanding of the pathogenesis of persistent CE…

INTRODUCTION: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a major challenge in reproductive medicine, and emerging evidence suggests that alterations in the endometrial microbiota may play a critical role in its pathogenesis. To identify the ma…

BACKGROUND: Preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) has been widely utilized to select euploid embryos in patients carrying balanced chromosomal rearrangements (BCRs) by chromosome copy number anal…

BACKGROUND: Thin endometrium (TE) has been widely recognized as a critical cause of various obstetric and gynecological conditions. Although the role of stem cells in endometrial functions and their pathologies has been suggested, the ident…

The association between serum copper and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) lacks definitive conclusions, and the intricate interactions with in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle characteristics in infertility remain insufficiently explored. Th…

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: Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) was demonstrated to be superior to conventional IVF in reducing the incidence of miscarriage and abnormal offspring after the first embryo transfer (ET). PGT-A requires seve…

PURPOSE: Contact lens-induced discomfort (CLD) remains a primary factor in discontinuation or prevention of contact lens wear. Thus, we investigated the role of ocular surface immune cells in subjects with CLD. METHODS: Habitual contact le…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disease with chronic pelvic inflammation. In order to study the pathophysiology of endometriosis and examine the therapeutic effects of new pharmaceuticals for endometriosis treatment, di…

Background/Objectives: The pathogenesis of hyperglycemia during acute pancreatitis (AP) remains unknown due to inaccessibility of human tissues and lack of animal models. We aimed to develop an animal model to study the mechanisms of hyperg…

Endometriosis is defined as endometrial tissues found outside the uterine cavity. ProEGCG is a prodrug of Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a potent polyphenol found in green tea. It inhibits the development of endometriotic lesions of mouse…

Endometriosis is a common, benign, and hormone-dependent gynaecological disorder that displays altered immunoinflammatory profiles. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) suppressed immunosurveillance in endometriosis in human and mouse m…

BACKGROUND: It is postulated that women suffered from recurrent implantation failure (RIF) have different endometrial receptivity compared to those who experienced with idiopathic recurrent miscarriage (RM). In this study, expression of com…

BACKGROUND: Current medical treatments for endometriosis are very limited. Progestin and selective progesterone receptor modulators (SPRM) are developed but their efficacy, safety, mechanism and recurrence in endometriosis are not fully stu…

Endometriosis affects women of reproductive age via unclear immunological mechanism(s). Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous group of myeloid cells with potent immunosuppressive and angiogenic properties. Here, we fo…

Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and protein phosphatase type 2A (PP2A) are negative modulators of PI3K/AKT/survivin signaling. To evaluate immunoexpression of PTEN, PP2A and survivin in adenomyosis, ectopic lesions from 28 patients wi…
