OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis (EM), a prevalent estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder affecting women of reproductive age, is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, resulting in pelvic scarring, pain, an…

The aim of this study was to explore the impact of female body mass index (BMI) on cumulative live birth rates (CLBR) in patients treated with in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer. A total of 2377 patients who visited the Reprod…

Infertility is a disease of impaired fertility. With socioeconomic development, changes in human lifestyles, and increased environmental pollution, the problem of low human fertility has become increasingly prominent. The incidence of globa…

PurposeTo explore whether spermatozoa from AZFc microdeletion patients affect their outcomes of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).MethodsEighty-five patients with AZFc microdeletion were recruited. A control group of one hundred and f…

Endometriosis is a gynecological condition that significantly impacting women's daily lives. In recent years, the incidence of endometriosis has been rising yearly and is now an essential contributor to female infertility. Exosomes are extr…

Ovarian, endometrial, and cervical cancer are common gynecologic malignancies, and their incidence is increasing year after year, with a younger patient population at risk. An exosome is a tiny "teacup-like" blister that can be secreted by …

BackgroundAccurate preoperative assessment of the efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for uterine fibroids is essential for good treatment results. The aim of this study was to develop robust radiomics models for p…

ObjectiveTo assess the diagnostic value of the Copenhagen index for ovarian malignancy.MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Embase, CBM, CNKI, and WanFang databases were searched throughout June 2021. Statistical analyses we…

RationaleEndometrioid adenofibroma is a benign epithelial neoplasm of the ovary, most of which are often unilateral. The symptoms of endometrioid adenofibroma are often nonspecific and misleading. Therefore, a full understanding of the char…

BackgroundPreimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) is widely used as an embryo selection technique in in vitro fertilization (IVF), but its effectiveness and potential beneficiary populations are unclear.MethodsThis retrospect…

BackgroundThe current routine endometrial preparation protocol for women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is hormone replacement treatment (HRT). Letrozole is rarely used in frozen embryo cycles. Evidence confirming whether letrozole-s…

Ultrasensitive identification of biomarkers in biofluids is essential for the precise diagnosis of diseases. For the gold standard approaches, polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, cumbersome operational steps hin…

BackgroundPremenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a common problem. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome. Combined oral contraceptives (COC), which provide both progestin and oestrogen, have been examined …

PurposeWe aimed to compare embryo development, cumulative live birth rate (CLBR), and perinatal outcomes of embryos cultured in 20% and 5% oxygen from days 1 to 3 after insemination.MethodsThis retrospective study included patients who rece…

BackgroundWith the development of assisted reproduction technology (ART), many indicators have been proposed to evaluate ovarian response, and then predict pregnancy outcomes. In general, the predictive values remain limited.ObjectiveTo fur…

ObjectiveThis study aimed to better understand the psychological experiences of inpatients with acute pancreatitis (AP).DesignWe used a qualitative descriptive study design to capture patients with AP's thoughts, feelings and behavioural re…

IntroductionCost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is critical for identifying high-value interventions that address significant unmet need. This study examines whether CEA study volume is proportionate to the burden associated with 21 major dis…

Human endometrium is a highly regenerative and dynamic tissue that undergoes cyclic changes during menstrual cycle. It has been reported that endometrial epithelium contains a population of progenitor/stem cells. Increasing amount of eviden…

When the presence of endometriotic lesions are not evident by hematoxylin and eosin staining, CD10 is used to highlight and confirm the presence of endometriotic stroma. However, CD10 is not specific only to the endometrial stroma but is al…

Little is known about the epidemiological and clinicopathological characteristics of endometrial endometrioid carcinoma (EEC) coexisting with or arising in adenomyosis (EEC-A or EEC-AIA) due to their rarity. This study compared EEC-A and EE…

BACKGROUND: With the improvement of bacterial detection, the theory of the sterile female upper reproductive tract has been frequently challenged in recent years. However, thus far, no researchers have used ovaries as study targets. METHOD…

Transvaginal sonographic elastography can be used for the differentiation of malignant and benign lesions in different systems. Recent studies on strain elastography showed that different endometrial tissues demonstrated different stiffness…

AIM: This study aimed to describe the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and operative or medical management of inguinal endometriosis. METHODS: In this study, we retrospectively reviewed 20 cases of inguinal endometriosis in our…

BACKGROUND: The recurrence rate after unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (USO) for unilateral endometrioma has not been reported. We evaluated the rate of and risk factors for endometrioma recurrence after USO. METHODS: In this retrospective …

When the presence of endometriotic lesions are not evident by hematoxylin and eosin staining, CD10 is used to highlight and confirm the presence of endometriotic stroma. However, CD10 is not specific only to the endometrial stroma but is al…
