BACKGROUND: Choriocarcinoma coexisting with intrauterine pregnancy is extremely rare and necessitates early diagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION: A primigravida at 27+ weeks of gestation presented with a 3-day history of worsening abdominal pain. …
OBJECTIVE: Ultrasound imaging of the endometrium is often affected by speckle noise, low contrast, and physiological cycle variations, which lead to blurred boundaries and ambiguous structural representation. To address these challenges, th…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the emotional experience of patients with thin endometrium (TE) who have repeatedly cancelled their cycles due to unsuitability for embryo implantation during the endometrial preparation p…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of endometrial defects in the pathogenesis of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). DESIGN: Retrospective case-control study. SETTING: Two tertiary centres. POPULATION OR SAMPLE: We included 155 patients with ca…
Uterine scarring is a common complication following uterine injury, characterized by abnormal wound healing in the endometrial or myometrial tissue. However, the underlying mechanisms contributing to scar formation remain unclear, impeding …
Diagnosis and treatment of endometrial diseases are crucial for women's health. Over the past decade, ultrasound has emerged as a non-invasive, safe, and cost-effective imaging tool, significantly contributing to endometrial disease diagnos…
INTRODUCTION: Macranthoidin B is one of the primary and unique triterpenoid saponin metabolites from Lonicera macranthoides Hand. -Mazz, which is used to treat endometriosis (EMS) in traditional Chinese medicine. However, the effect of macr…
IMPORTANCE: A growing number of children are conceived with assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, there is a lack of studies systematically analyzing the genetic landscape of live-born children conceived through ART who need inte…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical application value of gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-A) combined with low-dose HCG regimen in patients with high ovarian response based on clinical characteristics and laboratory indicators…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate HIF2α polymorphisms and glucose metabolism in a group of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or unexplained infertility (UI). PATIENTS: The infertile group (n=148) consisted of 96 women with PCOS, 52 women wi…
We aimed to determine the clinical outcome of double cleavage-stage embryo transfers in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles for older women.This study analyzed a total of 8189 cleavage-stage frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles between Jan…
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNA) metabolism-related genes play an important role in the development of cancers. We assessed the associations of genetic variants in genes involved in the metabol…
OBJECTIVES: Estrogen not only plays a key role in the decreased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) but also influences its severity. We aimed to explore the effect of the reproductive lifespan on the motor progression of PD female patients in…
Abstract Background: Endometriosis is a common gynecologic pathology among reproductive-aged women. The lack of a definitive clinical symptom and a minimally invasive diagnostic method lead to a diagnostic latency of endometriosis. In this…
Previously the potential therapeutic action of ferulic acid, ligustrazine and tetrahydropalmatine (FLT) are discovered with unclear mechanism in rat autograft endometriosis. However, the effect of FLT on endometrial cells and allograft endo…
BACKGROUND: The design of the combination of ferulic acid, ligustrazine and tetrahydropalmatine (FLT) is inspired by the Chinese herbal prescription Foshou San. Previous work has shown that FLT inhibited endometriosis growth in rat autograf…
BACKGROUND: Estrogen is involved in the pathophysiological process of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), in which epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays an important role. Upregulation of aquaporin (AQP) 5, which is directly activat…
Endometriosis (EM) is one of the most common gynaecological disorder affecting women in their reproductive age. Mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of EM remains poorly understood, however inflammatory responses have been reported to be…
PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility of enhanced T2 star-weighted angiography (ESWAN) in differentiating endometrial from non-endometrial cysts. METHODS: Forty-nine patients with 60 histopathologically proven ovarian cystic lesions underwe…
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have mainly focused on top significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), most of which did not have clear biological functions but were just surrogates for unknown causal variants. Studying SNPs…
Nuclear and cytoplasmic endometrial expression of Indian hedgehog increased from the late proliferative to mid and late secretory phases in 26 healthy volunteers compared with 30 women with endometriosis. The abnormal expression of Indian h…
We performed a genome-wide association study of melanoma in a discovery cohort of 2,168 Australian individuals with melanoma and 4,387 control individuals. In this discovery phase, we confirm several previously characterized melanoma-associ…
We performed a multistage genome-wide association study of melanoma. In a discovery cohort of 1804 melanoma cases and 1026 controls, we identified loci at chromosomes 15q13.1 (HERC2/OCA2 region) and 16q24.3 (MC1R) regions that reached genom…
OBJECTIVE: To test potential contraceptive mechanisms of the selective P receptor modulator CDB-2914 in the early luteal phase. DESIGN: Prospective randomized clinical trial. SETTING: Clinical research center. PATIENT(S): Fifty-six women…
