OBJECTIVE: To develop a pre-percutaneous microwave ablation (PMWA) model combining conventional ultrasound (CUS) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for predicting non-perfused volume ratio (NPVR) ≥ 80% in patients with uterine fibroids…
Ovarian cancer remains a significant global health burden, with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) representing the most lethal subtype. Bulk RNA-seq analysis revealed KLK5 (Kallikrein-5, a serine protease) upregulation in ovarian can…
AIM: This study aimed to compare clinical characteristics and evaluate diagnostic biomarkers in ovarian endometriosis, with a focus on thyroid autoimmunity associations. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 885 patients (441 ovarian endome…
OBJECTIVE: This study explored the incidence of adverse events (AEs) following microwave ablation (MWA) under local anesthesia and analyzed factors related to benign uterine diseases, including uterine fibroids (UFs) and adenomyosis (AM). …
The safety and clinical effectiveness of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) in improving pregnancy outcomes for sub-fertile patients remains controversial. Potential sex-based differences in the relationship between PGT-…
Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a highly heterogeneous complication of pregnancy with the underlying mechanisms remaining uncharacterized. Dysregulated decidualization is a critical contributor to the phenotypic alterations related …
BACKGROUND: To determine whether the embryo developmental stage affects biochemical or clinical pregnancy loss in young women undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) and to investigate the underlying mechanism. METHODS: This was a r…
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…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of PR gene exon 5 region H770H (rs1042839) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with the genetic susceptibility to endometriosis (EM) in southern Han Chinese women. METHODS: Totally 431 EM patients…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of a single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) in tumor suppressor gene P53 with the risk of endometriosis (EM) in Han Chinese women. METHODS: For 460 EM patients, 113 patients with endometrial carcinoma and …
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) gene promoter region -1031T/C and its combination with interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene promoter region -634C/G single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) with the genetic…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in cytochrome P450 17 (CYP17) and estrogen receptor alpha (ERα ) genes with the risk of endometriosis among southern Chinese women. METHODS: Two SNPs rs743572 (CY…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of interleukin 6 gene (IL-6) promoter region 634C/G (rs1800796) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with the genetic susceptibility to endometriosis (Ems) in south Han Chinese women. METHODS: A ca…
