The increasing association of insulin resistance (IR) with severe mental illnesses has a lot of importance to mental health and metabolism. Researching the association between IR indices and anxiety is quite fragmented. This study included …
Hydrogels are highly hydrated three-dimensional polymeric network materials that have attracted considerable attention in medical and biomedical fields owing to their favorable chemical modifiability, physical tunability, biocompatibility, …
PURPOSE: To investigate the hypothesis that an imbalance between the epithelial adhesion molecule E-cadherin and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) underlies the vaginal atrophy associated with menopause. METHODS: This cross-sectional study …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, which often causes pain, abnormal bleeding, and infertility. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1)-mediated deacetylation is implicated in the progression …
OBJECTIVE: To propose a prediction model aimed at increasing the live birth rate of patients undergoing two-cell embryo transfer while eliminating multiple pregnancy complications. METHODS: Women who underwent their first In Vitro Fertiliz…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Peiyu Granules (PYG) compared with placebo on early miscarriage rates among women undergoing embryo transfer. METHODS: A double-blind, parallel-group randomized clinical trial between F…
BACKGROUND: The effect of pre-pregnancy intrauterine device (IUD) use on subsequent preterm birth (PTB) remains unclear. We aim to investigate the association between IUD use before pregnancy and subsequent PTB. METHODS: A total of 240,437…
Examining the impact of Sanjie Zhentong capsules on hormone levels and serum expression of folate receptor 1 (FOLR1) and Mesothelin (MSLN) in endometriosis patients. A cohort of 150 endometriosis patients admitted between June 2019 and June…
BACKGROUND: Robert's uterus combined with transverse uterine septum is a rare uterine malformation. Only one case has been reported to date, and it is challenging to diagnose and treat. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we report the case of a 19-ye…
The goal of the study was to explore the mechanism underlying the progression from abnormal uterine bleeding with ovulatory dysfunction (AUB-O) to AUB with atypical hyperplasia/malignancy (AUB-M). AUB-O, AUB-M and control endometrial tissue…
PURPOSE: With urbanization and industrialization process accelerated, humans are exposed more and more trace elements. This study aimed to explore the potential associations of trace elements with the outcomes of in vitro fertilization embr…
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate whether the FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone)/LH (Luteinizing hormone) ratio correlates with ovarian response in a cross-sectional retrospective study of a population with normal levels of anti-M…
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine whether, on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection, the progesterone to number of mature oocytes index (PMOI) can be used alone or together with other parameters in a fresh…
BACKGROUND: Although in vitro fertilization (IVF) can increase the incidence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), the pregnancy outcomes and disease phenotype of HDP in singleton pregnancies conceived via IVF remain unclear. METHO…
BACKGROUND: Most of data available in the literature reported the sperm retrieval rate and limited intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) results of microdissection testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE) in non-obstructive azoospermia (N…
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the predictive capability of antral follicle count (AFC) and the anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) on ovarian response in infertile women and to identify potential factors influencing retrieved oo…
Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a challenge in the field of reproductive medicine, but mechanisms for its occurrence remain still unclear. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been found to play a vital role in many different disease…
BACKGROUND: While heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a prevalent symptom among women with abnormal uterine bleeding caused by endometrial disorder (AUB-E) seeking gynecologic care, the primary endometrial disorder remains poorly understood. …
Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting women aged between 23 and 42 years with a prevalence of 6%-10%. S100A7, a member of the S100 protein family, has been implicated in promoting inflammation. However, the role of …
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture on relieving abdominal pain and distension in acute pancreatitis. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will electronically search PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, We…
BACKGROUND: Poor ovarian responders generally refer to patients who respond poorly to ovarian stimulation for assisted reproductive techniques (ART) such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and hence experience low live birth rate. Various cont…
BACKGROUND: Women with endometriosis and previous cystectomy may respond less well to gonadotropin stimulation, which results in fewer oocytes retrieved and poor pregnancy outcomes. Choosing an appropriate protocol for such populations is e…
PURPOSE: Problems with fallopian tubes are one of the main reasons for women to undergo in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). A large proportion of women with ectopic pregnancy, fallopian tube obstruction and hydrosalpinx have ha…
BACKGROUND: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common functional gastrointestinal disorders characterized by recurrent abdominal pain associated with defecation or a change in bowel habits. Leading to significant negative eff…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis patients undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatment suffer from lower success rates. The success of IVF-ET is related to the receptivity of the uterus and the quality of embryos, and it is…
