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: Laparoscopic ethanol sclerotherapy is a fertility-preserving alternative for ovarian endometriomas, but the appropriate ethanol exposure duration remains uncertain. We compared expectant management with 5- and 15-minute ethanol …
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic versus transvaginal ethanol sclerotherapy in patients with ovarian endometriomas (OEMs). DESIGN: Preliminary retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Reproductive Medicine Re…
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…
INTRODUCTION: A significant proportion of women in their reproductive years are afflicted by endometriosis. And one of the major contributing factors to infertility linked to ovarian endometriosis is thought to be oocyte quality. The precis…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between endometrial thickness (EMT) on human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) day in the progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol and pregnancy outcomes in the sub…
Female fecundity declines in a nonlinear manner with age during the reproductive years, even as ovulatory cycles continue, which reduces female fertility, disrupts metabolic homeostasis, and eventually induces various chronic diseases. Desp…
BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is known to be associated with chronic low-grade inflammation and endometrial dysfunction. Chronic endometritis (CE) is a type of local inflammation that can contribute to endometrial dysfunction…
To explore the expression profiles of mRNAs, long-noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs) and construct the competitive endogenous RNA networks in granulosa cells (GCs) of infertile women with ovarian endometriosis. RNA sequencin…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis negatively affects fertility, and it is a common disease in assisted reproductive practice. Surgical removal of endometriotic lesions is widely carried out to relieve symptoms and promote fertility. But it is not i…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis affects the outcomes of spontaneous fertility and assisted reproductive technology. The single blastocyst embryo transfer (SBT) policy is an effective strategy known to minimize the risk of multiple pregnancy for non…
BACKGROUND: Exposure of oocytes to the endometrioma fluid has an adverse effect on embryonic quality. To determine whether adding transferrin and antioxidants to culture medium could counteract detrimental effects on mouse cumulus-oocyte co…
