BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMT) is a common gynecologic and hormone-dependent disease that seriously affects patients' quality of life and currently faces certain challenges in clinical treatment. OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical efficac…

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants with potential reproductive toxicity, yet their profiles in follicular fluid and impacts on human fertility remain unclear. Given the importance of diet as…

PURPOSE: Acute pancreatitis is a common disease with limited supportive treatments. Finding effective biomarkers is of great significance for early diagnosis and therapy, as well as to achieve better prognosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The c…

BACKGROUND: Endometrial fibrosis can disrupt the uterine junctional zone and lead to infertility. Accurate and noninvasive evaluation of junctional zone alterations is important to clinical treatment. Although conventional T2-weighted imagi…

PURPOSE: Infants born after assisted reproductive technology (ART) have more adverse health outcomes than spontaneously conceived infants. Evidence on the impact of ART on the offspring's visual system, particularly refractive errors (REs),…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 11%-13% of reproductive-age women worldwide and is pathologically associated with granulosa cell dysfunction. This study employed transcriptome sequencing of granulosa cells from PCOS patients and no…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the combined effects of Leuprorelin and Mirena on endocrine profiles, emotional well-being, quality of life, and endometrial receptivity (ER) in patients with adenomyosis. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort stud…

Although tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a critical immunomodulatory role in colorectal cancer (CRC), the mechanisms underlying their polarization remain unclear. This study identifies the P2X4 receptor (P2X4R) as a crucial mediato…

Endometrial fibrosis can lead to uterine infertility. Accurate staging of endometrial fibrosis is crucial for developing treatment plans and performing dynamic follow-ups. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of radiomics models bas…

Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease, yet its complex etiology is not fully understood. Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) exposure disrupts human reproduction, but studies on mixed EDCs and endometriosis ris…

​Mucinous ovarian cancer (MOC) is characterized by high malignancy, poor prognosis and a high recurrence rate. Surgical adjuvant chemotherapy is the main treatment for MOC. The recurrence rate of advanced mucinous ovarian cancer following s…

BACKGROUND: It has been consistently shown in several meta-analyses that infants born after ART have an excess of birth defects compared with those after spontaneous conception, however, the prevalence of birth defects among ART offspring i…

Emerging evidence suggests that children conceived through assisted reproductive technology (ART) have a higher risk of congenital heart defects (CHDs) even when there is no family history. De novo mutation (DNM) is a well-known cause of sp…

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Anogenital distance (AGD) can serve as a life-long indicator of androgen action in gestational weeks 8-14. AGD has been used as an important tool to investigate the exposure to endocrine-disrupting compounds in newborns …

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is effective for the ablation of uterine fibroids. However, no research has indicated whether HIFU ablation of uterine fibroids might be improved by application of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (…

Abstract Purpose Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease; however, the specific mechanism and the key molecules involved in endometriosis have not been elucidated. This study aimed to identify key genes associated with poor prognos…

BACKGROUND: Psychological distress may exert a negative influence on reproductive function of couples at reproductive age. Couples seeking assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment may have a higher prevalence of psychological distre…

ObjectiveThere has been a rise in urgent care centers throughout the country over the past 10 years, leading to an increase in patients accessing medical care in these locations. These centers advertise an alternative to the Emergency Depar…

There were few studies of cumulative live birth rates (CLBRs) based on multicenter reproductive clinical data from the general Chinese population. Here we report a retrospective cohort study, including 14 311 women with 17 315 cycles, in th…

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) serve as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) and indirectly regulate gene expression through shared microRNAs (miRNAs). However, the potential circRNAs functioning as ceRNAs in osteoporosis remain unclear. The bone m…

Abstract Purpose: Endometriosis was a common gynecological disease, however, the specific mechanism and the key molecules of endometriosis remained uncertain. This study aimed to single out key genes associated with poor prognosis, and furt…

The extent to which factors affect the probability of clinical pregnancy in the first fresh embryo transfer after assisted conception is unknown. In order to examine the predictors of clinical pregnancy, a retrospective cohort study was lau…

The aim of this study was to identify specific microRNAs (miRNAs) and their regulatory roles in the process of 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-induced (VD3-induced) osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived Mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSC…
