Older patients or patients with a reduced ovarian response have a low number of embryos, which limits the opportunity for embryo selection. However, for young patients undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (ET), it remains unclear whethe…

BACKGROUND: The management of ground-glass opacities (GGOs) depends mainly on personal experience. In clinical practice, benign GGOs are not rare in resected specimens, for which operations may be avoided. We retrospectively compared the cl…

BACKGROUND: Although the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) has been widely applied in the treatment of adenomyosis, not all the patients are satisfied with its efficacy. The present retrospective study aimed to investig…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of pelvic adhesions in patients with uterine fibroids after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment, then analyze the influencing factors of pelvic adhesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From O…

Spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB), defined as delivery before 37 weeks of gestation, is thought to be a multifactorial syndrome. However, the inflammatory imbalance at the maternal-fetal interface promotes excessive secretion of inflammatory…

ObjectiveWe aimed to evaluate the safety, efficiency and preferred indication for laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) compared with conventional laparoscopic (CL) surgery for benign ovarian masses.DesignA systemic review and cumulat…

OBJECTIVES: To detect the involvement of immune cells in the pathogenesis of endometriosis in patients with stable status or pelvic pain. METHODS: Blood was collected from patients with endometriosis with and without pelvic pain. Natural ki…

Background: Adenomyosis is a quite common gynecological disorder and above 30% of patients have typical secondary and progressive dysmenorrhea. Current treatments still have many disadvantages and thereby the novel treatment aiming to relie…

Adenomyosis is also called internal endometriosis and affects about 20% of reproductive-aged women. It seriously reduces life quality of patients because current drug therapies face with numerous challenges. Long-term clinical application o…

BackgroundUnderstanding potential trajectories in health and drivers of health is crucial to guiding long-term investments and policy implementation. Past work on forecasting has provided an incomplete landscape of future health scenarios, …

Inhibin B (INHBB), a heterodimer of a common α-subunit and a βB-subunit, is a glycoprotein belonging to the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family. In this study, we observed INHBB expression was reduced in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NP…

A large number of studies have shown that the oxidative imbalance is common in patients with endometriosis. Abnormal respiratory chain of mitochondrial, estrogen metabolism imbalance, iron overload, and ectopic foci may increase active oxyg…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate cost-effectiveness of ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (USgHIFU) and open hysterectomy for adenomyosis. DESIGN: A retrospective analysis. SETTING: Gynaecological department in a single centre in Chi…

Given that bisphenols have an endocrine-disrupting effect on human bodies, thoroughly exposing their potential effects at the molecular level is important. Saturation transfer difference (STD) NMR-based binding studies were performed to inv…

Gastrointestinal (GI) epithelial ion transport is physiologically important in many aspects of humans, such as in maintaining fluid balance of whole body, and also plays a role in the development and progression of common GI disease. Estrog…

Here one concurrent case of a patient with both thyroid and breast cancers was discussed with a comprehensive literature review. On March 21, 2016, a 42-year-old female patient was admitted into our hospital because of right neck mass and l…

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ultrasound‐guided high‐intensity focused ultrasound ( US g HIFU ) for treating abdominal wall endometrioses ( AWE ). Design A retrospective study. Setting Department of Obstetrics and Gynaeco…

Progesterone plays critical roles in maintaining a successful pregnancy at the early embryonic stage. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) rapidly induces amphiregulin (AREG) expression. However, it remains unknown whether AREG mediates hCG-i…

The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels and the prognosis of patients with uterine fibroids following uterine ar…

HIFU ablation treatment is effective in improving symptoms of patients with adenomyosis. Based on our results, HIFU ablation treatment maybe also help to improve the pregnancy outcomes of patients with adenomyosis, but further studies are n…

High levels of arsenic in drinking water, soil, and air are associated with the higher incidences of several kinds of cancers worldwide, but the mechanism is yet to be fully discovered. Recently, a number of evidences show that dysregulatio…

Growth differentiation factor-8 (GDF-8) is found in the human serum, follicular fluid and granulosa cells. Our previous studies have shown that the human cumulus expansion and steroidogenesis can be regulated by GDF-8. However, thus far, th…

BackgroundUterus-like mass (ULM) is an extremely rare lesion. Gross morphology of ULM resembling a uterus. It can occur in various organs in the abdominal cavity, even in the spinal cord. The histogenesis of ULM remains uncertain. A number …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long-term improvement of clinical symptoms of adenomyosis after treatment with ultrasound-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (USgHIFU). METHODS: From January 2010 to December 2011, 350 patients with adenomyo…

ObjectiveIn the light of the relationship between the TP53 Arg72Pro (rs1042522) polymorphism and the risk of endometriosis remains inclusive or controversial. For better understanding of the effect of TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism on endometri…
