Article Abstract

We present a case of vertical, bridging uterine synechia in the central part of the uterine cavity diagnosed by conventional two-dimensional (2D) sonography and HDlive at 29 weeks and 5 days of gestation. 2D sonography showed a uterine synechia located vertically in the central part of the uterine cavity, dividing the lower uterine cavity into two parts. HDlive clearly revealed triangular, vertical, and bridging uterine synechia with foot protrusion and umbilical cord prolapse in the lower uterine cavity. The low, liquor-filled amniotic cavity was divided by a thin membrane. MRI confirmed the vertical structure dividing the uterus with umbilical cord prolapse. Emergency cesarean section was performed at 37 weeks and 1 day of gestation because of onset of labor, and a female infant weighing 2,380 g was delivered with an umbilical artery pH of 7.25, and Apgar score of 6/9 at 1 and 5 min, respectively. The vertical, bridging synechia in the central part of uterine cavity was confirmed during the operation.

The endometrial and vaginal microbiota have co-evolved with the reproductive tract and play a key role in both health and disease. However, the difference between endometrial and vaginal microbiota, as well as their association with reproductive outcomes in women undergoing frozen embryo transfer, remains unclear. 120 women who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and whole embryo freezing were enrolled.

Endometriosis is a widely spread disease that affects about 8% of the world's female population. This condition may be described as a spread of endometrial tissue apart from the uterine cavity, but this process's pathomechanism is still unsure. Apart from classic endometriosis symptoms, which are pelvic pain, infertility, and bleeding problems, there are neuropsychiatric comorbidities that are usually difficult to diagnose.

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is an endometrial damage repair disorder that leads to menstrual loss, amenorrhea, and infertility in women; therefore, addressing this dilemma is a critical challenge. In this study, a multifunctional hydrogel, comprising oxidized sodium alginate (OSA), strontium carbonate (SrCO), and betamethasone 21-phosphate sodium (BSP), was formulated to facilitate angiogenesis, reduce fibrosis, and support tissue repair in the treatment of IUA. The composite hydrogels showed significant bioactivity on human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), promoting the injured HESCs repair, reversing the degree of fibrosis to a certain extent, and enhancing the proliferation and migration of HUVECs.
