Chronic endometritis (CE) is a plasma cell-related endometrial inflammatory phenotype that may compromise fertility, while endometriosis (EM) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disorder. However, whether EM is associated with CD138-defined …
BACKGROUND: In mammals, precise regulation of primordial follicle activation is essential for maintaining the female reproductive lifespan. In this study, we demonstrated that the vitamin D receptor (VDR) is expressed in both pre-granulosa …
Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by pain and infertility, remains a clinical challenge. Current hormonal and surgical treatments are often limited by side effects and high recurrence rates. In search of more eff…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of a 3-stage treatment strategy featured by cold-knife adenomyomectomy, enhanced endometrial protection and postoperative uterine monitoring for severe diffuse adenomyosis on IVF/ICSI and perinatal o…
BACKGROUND: Adequate thickness of the endometrium has been well recognized as a critical factor for embryo implantation. This was a prospective cohort study to investigate the benefits of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for women with thin endom…
The authors regret that the incorrect identification of "omega-3 arachidonic acid" published in the original manuscript [1].
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The identification of new compound candidates for endometriosis treatment is needed. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is considered a crucial target to control the progress and recurrence of endometriosis. Here, we identified ursol…
The sensitivity and specificity of clinical diagnostic indicators and non-invasive diagnostic methods for endometriosis at early stage is not optimal. Previous studies demonstrated that abnormal lipid metabolism was involved in the patholog…
BACKGROUND This study investigated the quality and quantity of eggs and embryos as well as the clinical pregnancy outcome in young infertile women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) after in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm inj…
BACKGROUND: The sensitivity and specificity of non-invasive diagnostic methods for endometriosis, especially at early stages, are not optimal. The clinical diagnostic indicator cancer antigen 125 (CA125) performs poorly in the diagnosis of …
