BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs)-associated infertility has been linked to alterations in the follicular microenvironment; however, the role of exosomal long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in granulosa cell dysfunction remains incompletely unders…

Despite ongoing challenges in developing effective non-surgical and non-hormonal treatments for endometriosis, the psychological manifestations of the disease-particularly anxiety-remain comparatively underexplored. In this study, a hydroge…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between endometriosis (EMs) severity and placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) risk in the subsequent pregnancy. METHOD: Clinical records of 2,142 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for EMs at F…

Abstract Background: Endometrial receptivity, a critical prerequisite for successful pregnancy, is impaired in women with endometriosis. Plasma membrane transformation (PMT), a key process involving dynamic remodeling of endometrial epithe…

Histone lactylation is crucial in a variety of physiopathological processes; however, the function and mechanism of histone lactylation in endometriosis remain poorly understood. Therefore, the objective of this investigation was to illumin…

BACKGROUND: Comprehensive sonographic evaluation of pre- and postmenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding is essential for accurate diagnosis and the optimization of curative outcomes for endometrial malignancy. Microvascular flow im…

BACKGROUND: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) ranks first among common cancers worldwide and first among causes of cancer death. This study explored the function of ST6 N-acetylgalactosaminide alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 1 (ST6GALNAC1) on …

BACKGROUND: High rates of infertility and pregnancy complications in patients with intrauterine adhesion (IUA) even after surgical repair may be associated with poor endometrial receptivity (ER). In our previous study, we found that changes…

INTRODUCTION: Ultrasound has become a routine method for endometrial receptivity (ER) evaluation. However, there is controversy over the independent evaluation values of various ultrasound indicators. Some researchers have designed multi-in…

BACKGROUND: With the increasing incidence of obesity and the childbearing-age delay among women, a debate over obesity's impacts on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes becomes hot. The potential negative effects of obesity and aging on fertilit…

PURPOSE: Can small RNA derived from embryos in conditioned embryo culture medium (ECM) influence embryo implantation? METHODS: We employed small RNA sequencing to investigate the expression profiles of transfer RNA-derived small RNA (tsRNA…

OBJECTIVE: To establish a nomogram model for predicting clinical pregnancy rate in patients with endometriosis undergoing fresh embryo transfer. METHODS: We retrospectively collected the data of 464 endometriosis patients undergoing fresh …

Despite advancements in assisted reproductive technology, recurrent implantation failure (RIF) remains a challenge. Endometrial factors, including ferroptosis and immunity, may contribute to this issue. This study integrated bioinformatics …

IN BRIEF: Elevated expression of miR-122-5p in exosomes in the follicular fluid of patients with endometriosis impairs glucose metabolism in cumulus cells and may further impair oocyte quality. ABSTRACT: Endometriosis (EMs) affects fertili…

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether MRI can predict the necessity of rectosigmoid resection (RR) for optimal debulking surgery (ODS) in ovarian cancer (OC) patients and to compare the predictive accuracy of pre- and post-neoadjuvant chemothera…

OBJECTIVE: To clarify whether intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) affect endometrial receptivity (ER) on the day of ovulation and to compare patients with mild and moderate-severe adhesions. METHODS: This prospective cohort study included 592 in…

Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is a malignant tumor of the biliary system that is aggressive, difficult to detect early, and has a low surgical resection rate and poor prognosis. Appropriate in vitro growth models are expected to focus on the …

BACKGROUND: Liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) is the most frequently seen type of primary liver cancer. Cuproptosis is a novel form of cell death highly associated with mitochondrial metabolism. However, the clinical impact and pertinen…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To develop a noninvasive predictive model based on patients with infertility for identifying minimal or mild endometriosis. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study. SETTING: This study was conducted at a tertiary referral ce…

So far, ovarian cancer has still been the most lethal gynecological malignancy. The chemotherapy and targeted medication are the mainstay for the recurrent ovarian cancer treatment. About 70% of the advanced-stage cases will relapse. Ascite…

Abstract Background: To study whether ILs/TNFs in the follicular fluid (FF) of women with EMs are responsible for impaired follicular development or (and) ovulation or not, and then to explore the underlying mechanisms. Methods: follicular …

OBJECTIVE: To obtain quantitative and comprehensive results of the changes in comprehensive ER indicators from ovulation day to transplantation day by ultrasonography during the natural frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycle (FET). METHODS: T…

BACKGROUND: Blastocyst developmental speed, morphological grading and patient age are associated with pregnancy outcomes of frozen-thawed cycles. This study aimed to compare the clinical and neonatal outcomes between poor-quality D5 blastoc…

Ovarian reserve is an important determinant of a woman's reproductive potential, and women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) often seek in vitro fertilization (IVF). The underlying etiology of DOR is unknown, but follicular fluid cytoki…

OBJECTIVE: Our previous work found COX4I2 was associated with angiogenesis in pheochromocytoma. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of COX4I2 in regulating angiogenesis in pheochromocytoma. METHODS: Distribution of COX4I2 was…
