Porcine endometritis, primarily resulting from mixed bacterial infections, adversely impacts sow reproductive performance and leads to substantial economic losses in the pig farming sector. Traditional antibiotic treatment is limited due to…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the clinical predictors of achieving a clinical pregnancy differ between fresh and frozen embryo transfer cycles in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) undergoing their first ART treatment af…

A successful pregnancy relies on the proper cellular, biochemical, and mechanical functions of the uterus. A comprehensive understanding of nonpregnant and pregnant uterine mechanical properties is key to understanding different obstetric a…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic gynecological disorder that affects 5% to 10% of women of childbearing age, often causing pelvic pain and infertility. Fibrosis is a hallmark of EM progression, yet its underlying molecular driver…

Spalt-like transcription factor 4 (SALL4) plays a vital role in the progression of many human diseases. However, the role and mechanism of SALL4 regulates in keloid formation remain unclear. The mRNA levels of SALL4 and ubiquitin-specific p…

A successful pregnancy relies on the proper cellular, biochemical, and mechanical functions of the uterus. A comprehensive understanding of uterine mechanical properties during pregnancy is key to understanding different gynecological and o…

The uterus has critical biomechanical functions in pregnancy and undergoes dramatic material growth and remodeling from implantation to parturition. The intrinsic material properties of the human uterus and how they evolve in pregnancy are …

Due to the influence of economic, social and many other factors, there are more and more reproductive problems. Originally introduced for managing male factor infertility, intracytoplasmic sperm injection had become the most commonly used f…

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between sleep disorders and risk of infertility.MethodThree databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library) were searched form their inception to April 30, 2023. Informat…

PURPOSE: miR-500a-3p has been extensively reported to be implicated in the development and progression in several human cancer types. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic significance of miR-500a-3p as a biomarker i…

Prior studies have shown that genetic factors play important roles in ovarian endometriosis. Herein, we first analyzed the whole-exome sequencing data from 158 patients with ovarian endometriosis and 385 local control women without endometr…

Adenomyosis is one of the most common gynecological disorders that the molecular events underlying its pathogenesis remain not fully understood. Prior studies have shown that endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) played crucial roles in the path…

Objective: This study aims to retrospectively analyze the clinical curative effects of surgery, uterine artery embolization (UAE), and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in order to provide the theory and evidences for selecting the o…

Automatic quantification and visualization of 3-D collagen fiber architecture using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has previously relied on polarization information and/or prior knowledge of tissue-specific fiber architecture. This stud…

BACKGROUND: Female sex workers (FSWs) are key groups in the transmission of sexual transmitted infections (STI), and vaginal microbiome variations play an important role in transmission. We aimed to explore the characteristics of vaginal mi…

IMPORTANCE: The causal direction and magnitude of the association between telomere length and incidence of cancer and non-neoplastic diseases is uncertain owing to the susceptibility of observational studies to confounding and reverse causa…

BACKGROUND: Fibulin-4, a member of the fibulin family of extracellular glycoproteins, is implicated in the progressions of some cancers. However, no information has been available to date regarding the function of fibulin-4 in ovarian carci…

Thirteen common susceptibility loci have been reproducibly associated with cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). We report the results of an international 2-stage meta-analysis of CMM genome-wide association studies (GWAS). This meta-analysis…

We performed a multistage genome-wide association study of melanoma. In a discovery cohort of 1804 melanoma cases and 1026 controls, we identified loci at chromosomes 15q13.1 (HERC2/OCA2 region) and 16q24.3 (MC1R) regions that reached genom…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian cysts are a common cause for gynecological surgery. However, some cysts are a direct result of endocrine disorders and do not require surgery. This report describes an unusual case in which persistent ovarian cysts are a…
