Endometriosis is a common disease in women of childbearing age and is closely associated with female infertility. However, the pathogenesis of endometriosis-related infertility is still not fully understood. Prohibitin 1 (PHB1), a highly co…
Severe acute pancreatitis-associated acute lung injury (SAP-ALI) is a serious disease associated with high mortality. Emodin has been applied to alleviate SAP-ALI; however, the mechanism remains unclear. We report that the therapeutic role …
To investigate the therapeutic effects of Blaps rynchopetera Fairmaire (BRF) extracts on the autophagy activation in a rat model of aerobic vaginitis (AV), forty-eight adult female SD rats of the AV model were divided into five groups accor…
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To compare the diagnostic performance of orthogonal pelvis-axial (OPA) contrast-enhanced (CE) and orthogonal uterus-axial (OUA) dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols in assessin…
Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a rather thorny problem in the clinical practice of assisted reproductive technology. Due to the complex aetiology of RIF, its pathogenesis is far from fully understood, and there is no effective trea…
STUDY QUESTION: Do inactivated coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) vaccines affect IVF outcomes among the vaccine recipients? SUMMARY ANSWER: The receipt of inactivated COVID-19 vaccines before ovarian stimulation has little effect on the …
STUDY QUESTION: Does inoculation with inactivated vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) before frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) affect live birth and neonatal outcomes? SUMMARY ANSWER: Inactivated Covid-19 vaccines did no…
Objective: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory estrogen-dependent disease with the growth of endometrial tissues outside the uterine cavity. Nevertheless, the etiology of endometriosis is still unclear. Integrated bioinformatics analysi…
INTRODUCTION: To compare efficacy and safety of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) with medical treatments for women with heavy menstrual bleeding. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Cen…
Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common types of gynecological cancer. Hypoxia is an important clinical feature and regulates various tumor processes. However, the prognostic value of hypoxia-related lncRNA in EC remains to be fur…
IN BRIEF: Inflammation and abnormal immune response are the key processes in the development of endometriosis (EMs), and m6A modification can regulate the inflammatory response. This study reveals that METTL3-mediated N6-methyladenosine (m6…
PURPOSE: This preclinical study aimed to evaluate whether using transferred mosaic embryos (primarily selected by embryonic morphology assessment (EMA) and compared by the noninvasive preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (niPGT-A)…
Embryo adhesion is a very important step in the embryo implantation process. Homeobox A10 (HOXA10), a key transcriptional factor of endometrial receptivity, is indispensable for embryo adhesion. However, how to control the activation status…
Polydatin, one of the natural active small molecules, was commonly applied in protecting and treating liver disorders in preclinical studies. Oxidative stress plays vital roles in liver injury caused by various factors, such as alcohol, vir…
OBJECTIVE: To study the influence of the previous cesarean section on the pregnancy outcomes and perinatal outcomes in single embryo transfer (SET) cycles in an in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (IVF/IC…
BACKGROUND: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation has been reported to participate in inflammatory bowel disease (including Crohn disease [CD]). However, the prognostic and therapeutic implication of m6A methylation modification in CD is sti…
The significance of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modifications in the progression of breast cancer (BC) has been recognised. However, their potential role and mechanism of action in the tumour microenvironment (TME) and immune response has …
BACKGROUND: By using network pharmacology and molecular docking technology, we have explored the mechanism of action of Sanqi in the treatment of endometriosis (EMS), in order to provide reference for clinical studies of Chinese medicine tr…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: The aim was to investigate the outcome of vaginal delivery of full-term pregnancies in patients after transvaginal-natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) treatment for gynecological disorders. DESIGN: A c…
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical utility of serum luteinizing hormone (LH) level in predicting frozen embryo transfer (FET) outcomes among the patients with an ovulation induction (OI) cycle. Methods: A total of 250 patients who underwent …
The incidence of endometrial adenocarcinoma (EA) has increased worldwide in recent years due to the widespread use of estrogen therapy and the overall increase in life expectancy. However, we know of no sensitive molecular index that can be…
Endometrial epithelial cells carry distinct cancer-associated alterations that may be more susceptible to endometriosis. Mouse models have shown that overexpression of SIRT1 associated with oncogene activation contributes to the pathogenesi…
Adenomyosis is a benign uterine disease. Due to the higher incidence of adenomyosis and patients' demands for fertility, high-intensity ultrasound ablation has been widely used in gynecological patients with uterine fibroids and adenomyosis…
RATIONALE: Primary extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphomas of the fallopian tube is extremely rare. It is a great challenge for fertility and gynecology doctors to manage such cases and also fulfil the reproductive demands of these young …
BACKGROUND: Little is known regarding life-course trajectories of important diseases. We aimed to identify diseases that were strongly associated with mortality and test temporal trajectories of these diseases before mortality. METHODS: Ou…
