BACKGROUND: Among recurrent implantation failure (RIF) patients, the rate of successful implantation remains relatively low due to the complex etiology of the condition, including maternal, embryo and immune factors. Effective treatments ar…
ObjectiveNear-infrared fluorescence cholangiography (NIRF-C) can help to identify the bile duct during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This retrospective study was performed to investigate the effect of NIRF-C in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.…
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: Research into the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMs) would substantially promote its effective treatment and early diagnosis. However, the aetiology of EMs is poorly understood and controversial despite the progress in EMs rese…
BACKGROUND: Acupuncture and moxibustion have been accepted as treatment options for primary dysmenorrhea (PD). So far, several systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analyses (MAs) have reported on the efficacy and safety of acupuncture and moxi…
BACKGROUND: To investigate the metabolic profiles in the follicular fluid (FF) samples from patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) and to analyze the correlations with follicular development. METHODS: The FF samples were obtained…
OBJECTIVE: Data on the treatment of patients with ovarian cancer (OC) and associated cerebral infarction (CI) are extremely limited. The objectives were to investigate the risk factors for prognosis in patients with OC and associated CI. M…
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of interleukin 6 in embryo development in the in vitro fertilization cycles. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study. One hundred and three women undergoing in vitro fertilizat…
BACKGROUND: In magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) treatment of uterine fibroids, the immediate ablation response is significantly affected by blood perfusion. The variability of measurement for blood perfu…
The use of Shi Xiao San (SXS), composed of Pollen Typhae Angustifoliae and Faeces Trogopterori, can be traced back to the Song dynasty. Traditionally, SXS has been used to treat irregular menstruation, pelvic pain, progressive dysmenorrhea,…
UNLABELLED: Pelvic pain, infertility, and a high postoperative recurrence rate are associated with endometriosis and adversely affect the physical and mental health of patients. Moreover, these factors place a heavy burden on families and s…
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to explore whether intrauterine infusion of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) could induce favorable transcriptomic changes in the endometrium for embryo implantation and the potential mechanism. METHO…
Neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that reward system is associated with chronic pain diseases. In addition, previous studies have also demonstrated abnormal functional and structural brain regions in primary dysmenorrhea. However, the …
Objective: The association between phthalates and endometriosis risk is inconclusive. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the association between five different phthalate metabolites and endometriosis, based on current evidence. Methods: Th…
Catalpol is the main active ingredient of an extract from Radix rehmanniae, which in a previous study showed a protective effect against various types of tissue injury. However, a protective effect of catalpol on uterine inflammation has no…
Chemoresistance is driven by unique regulatory networks in the genome that are distinct from those necessary for cancer development. Here, we investigate the contribution of enhancer elements to cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancers. Epig…
Objective: To study the association between polymorphisms in CYP19A1 rs2899470, GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 rs1695 and the development of endometriosis. Methods: Between October 2015 and October 2017, 262 endometriosis patients and 275 control …

OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of frozen section (FS) of mucinous borderline ovarian tumors (mBOTs) and the diagnostic value of various risk factors for misdiagnosis. METHODS: Patients with eithe…
Macrophages can induce Fas ligand (FasL)‑mediated apoptosis, and the deregulation of apoptosis is known to be associated with recurrent miscarriage (RM). The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible involvement of FasL in ma…
Experiments were conducted to determine if the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) receptor binding inhibitor (FRBI) impacts the expression levels of AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A (ARID1A) and phosphatase and tensin homolo…
miR-424(322)/-503 are mammal-specific members of the extended miR-15/107 microRNA family. They form a co-expression network with the imprinted lncRNA H19 in tetrapods. miR-424(322)/-503 regulate fundamental cellular processes including cell…
