BACKGROUND: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a highly fibrotic and deeply invasive subtype of endometriosis that causes severe pelvic pain, infertility and marked impairment of quality of life. Metabolic, microbial and immune distur…
Obesity triggers ovarian dysfunction and female infertility accompanied by granulosa cell damage. Ferroptosis, iron-dependent lipid peroxidation-mediated cell death, participates in multiple reproductive diseases, yet the molecular cascade …
The female reproductive tract microbiome has emerged as a potential factor associated with reproductive health, infertility, and outcomes of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs). Growing interest in host-microbiome interactions has hig…
The gut microbiota has been implicated in pulmonary vascular diseases, yet a direct causal link to pulmonary embolism (PE) remains unestablished. This study aimed to investigate the causal effects of gut microbiota on PE and to explore the …
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Xiao-Liu Tang (XLT), a formulation grounded in the Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory of Qi-Blood, has shown promise in alleviating endometriosis-related symptoms through clinical observations, with em…
UNLABELLED: Primary dysmenorrhea (PDM) is a common cyclic menstrual pain that significantly affects the quality of life for women. Several epidemiological studies have suggested a potential association between PDM and mental health traits, …
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of chromosomal aneuploidy screening and secondary vitrification-warming on the pregnancy and neonatal outcomes of non-biopsied, previously vitrified embryos. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study include…
BACKGROUND: Sex-dependent differences in prevalence and severity are characteristics of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Using the 3×Tg-AD mouse model, we previously reported that adult males show early behavioral dysfunction, altered epigenetic f…
BACKGROUND: Zona pellucida (ZP) plays an important role in oocyte development and fertilisation, as well as in early embryo development. However, there is currently no exploration of systematic categorising and clinical treatment measures f…
Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease characterized by the invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium of uterus, the pathological mechanism of which remains unclear yet. Disturbed lipid metabolism extensively affe…
OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the role of the c-Fos/estrogen receptors (ERs)/mTOR pathway in lipid metabolism in human follicular granulosa cells of individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Specifically, we aim to determine w…
Indocyanine green (ICG), as the sole near-infrared dye FDA-approved, is limited in biomedical applications because of its poor photostability, lack of targeting, and rapid removal in vivo. Herein, we presented a nanoformulation of poly-l-ly…
Infertility is a prevalent problem among 10% of people within their reproductive years. Sometimes, even advanced treatment options like assisted reproduction technology have the potential to result in failed implantation. Because of the exp…
BACKGROUND: Second-trimester abortion is a critical issue in infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) treated with assisted reproductive technology (ART), cervical incompetence (CI) may play a role. Although previous studies ha…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Is it possible to predict blastocyst quality, embryo chromosomal ploidy, and clinical pregnancy outcome after single embryo transfer from embryo developmental morphokinetic parameters? DESIGN: The morphokinetic parameter…
Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is the most incurable form of male infertility with a complex etiology. Long non-cording RNAs (lncRNAs) were associated with regulating spermatogenesis. Herein, differentially expressed lncRNAs between NOA …
Inflammasomes are large protein complexes that play a major role in sensing inflammatory signals and triggering the innate immune response. Each inflammasome complex has three major components: an upstream sensor molecule that is connected …
To explore the value of the combined MR imaging features and clinical factors Nomogram model in predicting intractable postpartum hemorrhage (IPH) due to placenta accreta (PA). We conducted a retrospective study with 270 cases of PA patient…
BACKGROUND: Tubal endometriosis (TEM) is a category of pelvic endometriosis (EM) that is characterized by ectopic endometrial glands and/or stroma within any part of the fallopian tube. The fallopian tubes may be a partial source of ovarian…
BACKGROUND: Uterine adenomyosis is a common gynecologic disease in premenopausal women, the pathological mechanism of which remains largely unknown. The aim of this study was to identify metabolic biomarkers significantly altered in the myo…
The causal relationship between cancer and Schizophrenia (SCZ) remains controversial. Some researchers have found that SCZ is a cancer-preventive factor in cohort studies or meta-analyses, whereas others have found the opposite. To understa…
The literature indicates that mesonephric carcinoma (MC) and mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) typically lack mucinous and squamous features/differentiation. We report 4 cases of ovarian mucinous tumors (1 mucinous cystadenofibroma and …
OBJECTIVES: Estrogen not only plays a key role in the decreased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) but also influences its severity. We aimed to explore the effect of the reproductive lifespan on the motor progression of PD female patients in…
BACKGROUND: Impaired endometrial receptivity is a major reason for embryo implantation failure. There's a paucity of information regarding the role of circRNAs on endometrial receptivity. Here, we investigated the function of hsa_circ_00194…
It is well known that the transfer of embryos at the blastocyst stage is superior to the transfer of embryos at the cleavage stage in many respects. However, the rate of blastocyst formation remains low in clinical practice. To reduce the p…
