OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of vasopressin injection technique (VIT) on ovarian reserve in laparoscopic cystectomy of bilateral ovarian endometrioma. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 122 patients with bilateral ovarian endometrioma …

BACKGROUND: Although acute pancreatitis associated with hyperparathyroidism has occasionally been reported, acute pancreatitis with metabolic encephalopathy caused by hyperparathyroidism combined with paraneoplastic syndrome is an extremely…

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus. Adolescent endometriosis is often confined to the pelvic cavity and is a common cause of secondary dysmenorrhea in adolescents. Adolescent endomet…

BACKGROUND: The present study aims to provide a comparative analysis of the etiologies of female infertility between Dehong, on the Yunnan Frontier, and Kunming. METHODS: A retrospective study, which included 941 infertile females in Kunmi…

BACKGROUND: Histological grade is one of the most important prognostic factors of endometrial carcinoma (EC) and when selecting preoperative treatment methods, conducting accurate preoperative grading is of great significance. PURPOSE: To …

The cytochrome P450 family 17 (CYP17) is associated with hyperandrogenism in women, and the association between CYP17 gene polymorphism and the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is not definitive. In order to determine whether the CY…

SIRT1, a member of the sirtuin family, catalyzes the deacetylation of proteins with the transformation of NAD+ into nicotinamide and 2'-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose. Selective SIRT1/2 inhibitors have potential application in the chemotherapy of colo…

BACKGROUND: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is the precursor state of ovarian failure and can cause the decline of women's reproductive function. DOR also leads to poor outcome of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) by affe…

RATIONALE: Gastric-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (GAS) is a rare type of cervical adenocarcinoma that is a mucinous adenocarcinoma with a variety of gastral patterns. To date, there are no systematic clinical diagnosis and treatment guid…

HOTAIR is a well-known long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) involved in various cellular signaling, whereas its functional impacts on endometriosis development are still largely unknown. To this end, six potential functional single nucleotide polym…

OBJECTIVE: It is well known that circRNAs are closely involved in the progression of various diseases. However, their functions and potential regulatory mechanisms in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) remain largely unknown. In the present s…

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an important assisted reproductive technology in treating infertility, whose failure rate is still high. Studies suggested that uterine microbiota are related to women's reproductive diseases and persisting i…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the value of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)/computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in differentiating benign and malignant ovarian or adnexal tumors. MATERIALS AND MET…

BACKGROUND: To minimize the rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF)- associated multiple-embryo gestation, significant efforts have been made. Previous studies related to machine learning in IVF mainly focused on selecting the top-quality embr…

AIMS: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas that may affect local tissues or remote organ systems, while severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a life-threatening disorder associated with multiple organ failure. In …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the reproductive outcomes of oocytes with smooth endoplasmic reticulum aggregates (SERa) are impaired. METHODS: A total of 2893 intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles were performed between January…

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a progressive fibro-inflammatory syndrome. The damage of acinar cells is the main cause of inflammation and the activation of pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs), which can thereby possibly further aggravate the ap…

ObjectivesTo evaluate the combined impact of male and female BMI on cumulative pregnancy outcomes after the first ovarian stimulation.DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingUniversity-affiliated reproductive medicine center.PatientsA total…

Reproductive hormones play a crucial role in the growth and maintenance of the mammalian skeleton. Indeed, the biological significance for this hormonal regulation of skeletal homeostasis is best illustrated by common clinical reproductive …

RATIONALE: Spontaneous uterine rupture during pregnancy, occurring most often during labor in the context of a scarred uterus, is a serious obstetric complication. Perhaps even more serious because of its extreme rarity, spontaneous uterine…

BACKGROUND: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the leading cause of death among preterm infants born at < 30 weeks' gestation. The incidence of NEC is reduced when infants are fed human milk. However, in many neonatal intensive care units (…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is a gynecological disease defined by the translocation and growth of endometrial tissue in other tissues or organs outside the uterus. Its clinical manifestations are dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, an…

A healthy 38-year-old woman presented with a hard umbilical mass that has been growing for a few months in duration with no other significant symptoms and signs. Computed tomography images identified a lobulated densely calcified umbilical …

BACKGROUND: Poor ovarian response (POR), a manifestation of low ovarian reserve and ovarian aging, leads to a significant reduction in the pregnancy rate after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer. Acupuncture has increasingly been used t…

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…
