BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Furthermore, the potential risks of long-term use of combined oral contraceptives (COCs) on ovarian reserve function remain uncle…
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the long-term therapeutic efficacy of laparoscopy combined with transvaginal ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) for adenomyosis and to identify independent risk factors for postoperative symptomatic recurrenc…
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy of Honghua Ruyi Pills combined with estradiol valerate and dydrogesterone tablets in promoting endometrial repair and menstrual recovery after artificial abortion. METHODS: This was a randomized, double…
Abstract Background: Adenomyosis is an estrogen-dependent benign gynecological disorder, although its exact pathophysiology is still mostly unclear. SRY-box transcription factor 9 (SOX9) is an essential transcription factor regulating e…
High-throughput sequencing enables efficient processing of DNA and RNA samples in batches, but batch effects can obscure true biological signal. We propose using anticlustering as an automated method to assign samples to balanced batches, m…
BACKGROUND: Endometrial thickness (EMT) is a crucial indicator of endometrial receptivity in assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, its relationship with pregnancy outcomes remains unclear, especially across different cycle types …
This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of relative change in E2 levels during controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) on embryo development and pregnancy outcomes in assisted reproductive technology (ART). We retrospectively analyze…
BACKGROUND: Thalassemia is a hereditary blood disorder that can impact fertility due to various factors such as iron overload and endocrine disruption. While the effects of iron overload on fertility outcomes in transfusion-dependent thalas…
INTRODUCTION: Raising the temperature of abdominal wall endometriosis lesions contributes to an effective ablation; however, providing sufficient protection to the surrounding tissues remains a challenge. In this study, we aimed to combine …
BACKGROUND: The necessity of monitoring luteal endocrine functions in in vitro fertilization- embryo transfer (IVF-ET) remains uncertain. Specifically, the significance of luteal phase estradiol (E2) levels is a matter of debate in current …
BACKGROUND: To explore the incidence of chronic endometritis (CE) in patients with infertility and different forms of adenomyosis and analyze potential high-risk factors for infection. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included 154 …
Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) presents a significant clinical challenge due to the lack of established diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines. Emerging evidence underscores the crucial role of competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regula…
OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the improvement of symptoms and pregnancy outcomes in infertile patients with various types of adenomyosis who were treated with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between Octobe…
BACKGROUND: We previously reported that obese mice had significantly high lipid content in embryos, and excessive lipids are detrimental to embryonic development. However, whether maternal obesity has an effect on embryonic vitrification in…
Cryptotanshinone (CT), an active component of the traditional Chinese medicine Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, exhibits a wide range of biological and pharmacological activities. Although the anticancer activity of CT is well known, the knowledg…
OBJECTIVES: Transvaginal ultrasound- and laparoscopy-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (TLPMA) is a minimally invasive alternative technique with low risk, fast recovery and few side effects. We aimed to evaluate the safety and long-te…
Transvaginal ultrasound- and laparoscopy-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (TLPMA) is a minimally invasive alternative technique with low risk, fast recovery and few side effects. We aimed to evaluate the safety and long-term efficacy …
Angiogenesis, the formation of new capillaries from pre-existing vascular networks, plays an important role in many physiological and pathological processes. The use of pro-angiogenic agents has been proposed as an attractive approach for p…
Background: The availability and use of frozen-thawed embryos after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for assisted reproduction have increased with improvements in vitrification techniques and the rise of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (G…
AIM: To investigate the distribution of tubal endometriosis (EM) in the right and left sides and four parts of the fallopian tube. METHODS: A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted on patients with tubal EM at the Fourth Affili…
Background: Adenomyosis (AM) is a common benign uterine disease that threatens the normal life of patients. Cells associated with microenvironmental immune ecology are crucial in AM, although they are not as well understood at the cellular …
Purpose: This study aimed to reveal the molecular differences in granulosa cells (GCs) from patients with endometriosis (EM). Methods: RNA sequencing was performed on GCs from patients with EM-related infertility (n = 3) and controls (n = 3…
Aim: To explore the circular RNA (circRNA) profile in cumulus cells from endometriosis-associated infertility patients. Methods: The expression of circRNAs was profiled by high-throughput sequencing. Sanger sequencing was performed to ident…
