Summary: Studies have shown the importance of microbial communities in various parts of the human body for health. It has been recently discovered that the uterine cavity is not sterile and has its own microbiome, which affects female fertility and gynecological pathologies. However, there is currently no consensus on the sampling methods and definition of a healthy endometrial microbial profile.

Summary: In this study, the miRNA expression patterns during testicular development in Dezhou donkeys were investigated. A total of 315 miRNAs displayed age-dependent expression differences, and several of them were found to be associated with male reproductive pathways in donkeys. These findings contribute to our understanding of microRNA regulation in equine fertility and spermatogenesis.

Summary: With the advancement in computing power and accumulation of embryo image data, artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied in embryo selection in IVF. Machine learning (ML) has the potential to reduce subjectivity and save time, but the lack of interpretability in modern deep learning (DL) techniques has raised concerns. The effectiveness of black-box models lacks confirmation from randomized controlled trials, and recent evidence suggests underperformance compared to interpretable ML models. Interpretable AI is gaining support due to its ethical advantages and technical feasibility. A novel classification system for embryo selection models is proposed, focusing on subjectivity, interpretability, and explainability.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the pregnancy outcomes and birth rates of alpaca females inseminated with frozen semen using two commercial extenders. The results showed that similar efficiency rates of pregnancy and alive offspring can be achieved through artificial insemination with frozen semen using Biladyl (R) B or AndroMed (R) diluents.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the association between controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) protocols and euploid blastocyst rate in pre-implantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) cycles. The study included 457 PGT-A cycles and found that the GnRH-ant protocol was the most effective, with significantly higher euploidy rates compared to the PPOS protocol. This emphasizes the importance of personalized treatment strategies.

Summary: This meta-analysis suggests that SGLT2 inhibitors may be a potential alternative therapy for overweight/obese women with PCOS who do not respond well to metformin treatment. Further large randomized controlled trials and cost-effectiveness analyses are needed to guide the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in this population.

Summary: This study found that female sleep duration had little association with spontaneous abortion (SAB), while male short sleep duration, female night work, and discrepancies in work schedules among partners had modest positive associations with SAB incidence.

Summary: This study utilized the MCSeEd technique to investigate the differences in methylation patterns in different genotypes of Eragrostis curvula. The results showed that polyploid/apomictic genotypes had more differentially methylated positions and regions than diploid sexual ones. Additionally, methylation was found to play an important role in reproductive pathways and ploidy changes.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of pain symptoms on the quality of life in women with endometriosis using the visual analogue scale. The results showed that severe pain (VAS score >= 7 cm) significantly decreased the quality of life, while mild to moderate pain (VAS < 7 cm) resulted in better quality of life.

Summary: This study used proteomics analysis to construct a protein profile of the ovaries in a PCOS mouse model. The results showed significant differences in protein profile between the PCOS and control group. Differentially expressed proteins were mainly involved in lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, and immune response. This study fills the gap in PCOS ovarian proteomic data and provides an important reference for drug development and treatment of PCOS.

Summary: The study has identified genes that contribute to the likelihood of a woman giving birth to dizygotic (DZ) twins and has shown that monozygotic (MZ) twins have a stable DNA methylation pattern in their somatic tissues. This discovery opens up new possibilities for retrospective diagnosis of MZ twins and their vanished co-twins in early pregnancy.
