The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in sexual function after total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) or transabdominal hysterectomy (TAH). This retrospective cohort study included patients with benign uterine tumors that were …
Abstract Background: Adenomyosis (AM) is a common benign chronic gynaecological disorder; however, the precise pathogenesis of adenomyosis is still poorly understood. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) can uncover rare subpopulations, …
Sperm preparation in IVF cycles using density gradient centrifugation (DGC) in combination with swim-up (SU) has been widely adopted in reproductive centres worldwide. It is a fact that the sperm recovery rate following one DGC from poor se…
The SWI/SNF (mating type SWItch/Sucrose NonFermentable) chromatin remodeling complexes interact with histones and transcription factors to modulate chromatin structure and control gene expression. These evolutionarily conserved multisubunit…
Abstract Background: To study which characteristics of a pre-oocyte-retrieval patient can affect the pregnancy outcomes of emergency oocyte freeze-thaw cycles. Methods: Nomogram model performance was assessed by examining the discriminatio…
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…
PURPOSE: To explore the trends of oocyte and pregnancy outcomes over the ovulation trigger-OPU (oocyte pickup) time interval in four mainly used COH protocols. METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted between January 2013 and July 2…
Transcervical resection of adhesion (TCRA) is the standard treatment for the intrauterine adhesions, but the recurrence of adhesions is a tough problem for the gynecologist. In addition, the therapeutic strategy after TCRA about prevention …
Metastasis is associated with poor prognosis in cancer and is a multistep process that includes invasion and migration. Several epigenetic factors are involved in this process, including chromobox protein homolog 8 (CBX8). Here, we show tha…
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 …
Previous lncRNA microarray screening found that the AC002454.1 gene was highly expressed in endometriosis (EMS), and these expression levels were highly correlated with cyclin-dependent kinase-6 (CDK6). This study investigated the expressio…
Despite the high consumption of dietary supplements (DS), few reliable, relevant, and comprehensive online resources could satisfy information seekers. This research study aims to understand consumer information needs on DS using topic mode…
Background: The ability of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) to predict ovarian response has been studied extensively in gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist and antagonist treatments, but no information is available regarding its value in pro…
Phthalates (diesters of phthalic acid) are widely used as plasticizers and additives in many consumer products. Laboratory animal studies have reported the endocrine-disrupting and reproductive effects of phthalates, and human exposure to t…
BACKGROUND: Fibrinogen concentrations and the monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (FC-MLR) are associated with progression and outcomes of many malignancies. This study aimed to assess the clinical and prognostic significance of the combination of…
BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of human epididymal secretory protein (HE4), cancer antigen 125 (CA125), and the Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA) in diagnosing benign pelvic masses in premenopausal women…
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to develop and validate an individualized score based on preoperative parameters to predict patient outcomes after vaginal repair of cesarean section diverticulum. METHODS: This is a retrospective coho…
Diagnostic value of ultrasound score, color Doppler ultrasound resistance index (RI) and spiral computed tomography (CT) for ovarian tumors was investigated. In total 224 patients pathologically diagnosed with ovarian tumor after operation …
Liver plays important roles in the innate and adaptive immunity, and contributes to the maternal immune adjustments during pregnancy in mice and rats. T helper 1 (Th1) and Th2 cytokines are related to immune response. However, expression of…
BACKGROUND: Abnormal BMI is associated with discouraging IVF outcomes in fresh autologous or oocyte donor cycles, whether or not such a relation also holds true for women undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) remains unknown. In ad…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate temporary or long-term changes of AMH after laparoscopic endometrioma cystectomy and its dependency on characteristics of endometriomas. METHODS: One hundred and seventy-one women, open-labeled prospective study; …
Background: Endometriosis is one of the most challenging diseases for doctors helping infertile women conceive, which has become a common method to help maternal endometriosis-associated infertility. Women with advanced endometriosis posses…
The freeze-all strategy has been increasingly employed in the context of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles globally, but the relative advantages of this approach are not entirely understood. Herein we sought to assess how maternal age aff…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does the use of a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) improve the ongoing pregnancy rate of vitrified-warmed embryo transfer in women with adenomyosis undergoing IVF? DESIGN: This retrospective study i…
BACKGROUND: This systematic review will be proposed for investigating the effects of psychological care (PC) in patients with endometriosis. METHODS: We will search the following 7 electronic databases from inception to the present: MEDLIN…
