OBJECTIVE: To explore the factors associated with elevated serum progesterone (P) levels on the day of hCG administration in patients undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation using a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-A) proto…
Ectopic pancreas (EP) is most commonly located in the upper gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the stomach. Malignant transformation of EP is exceptionally rare, and due to its very low incidence, the response to drug therapy and overa…
OBJECTIVE: The high post-surgery recurrence rate of endometriosis (EMs) has emerged as a challenge in the long-term manaagement of the condition. This study is aimed at investigating the mechanisms of Neiyiting (NYT) decoction in preventing…
BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that variants in PvuII and XbaI loci are associated with the occurrence and progression of endometriosis (EM), while the results were in great debate. METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis were condu…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common disease occurring in 1-2% of all women of reproductive age. Although there is increasing evidence on the association between endometriosis and adverse perinatal outcomes, little is known about the effec…
STUDY QUESTION: Is allograft inflammatory factor-1 (AIF-1), a cytokine associated with inflammation and allograft rejection, aberrantly elevated in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist pr…
GnRH antagonist negatively affects endometrial receptivity in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, however, its underlying mechanism remains unclear. To explore its target molecules, we studied endometria in the window phase of fixed GnRH a…
Endometriosis is a common type of estrogen‑dependent, gynecological and chronic inflammatory disease. Epigenetics refers to changes in gene expression that occur without altering the DNA sequence or DNA content. Histone modification dominat…
