INTRODUCTION: Postpartum hemorrhage is a serious complication of childbirth and is still the leading cause of maternal death worldwide. Lower uterine segment hemorrhage during cesarean section is an important cause of postpartum hemorrhage.…

Background: Immunological failure during pregnancy is considered one of the etiologies of recurrent miscarriage (RM). The decreased production of mixed lymphocyte reaction-blocking factors (MLR-Bf) may play a major role in this condition. L…

It has been confirmed by growing evidence that common hormone replacement therapy is associated with an increasing risk of causing cardiovascular disease and cancer, while complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is gaining popularity a…

BACKGROUND: Decreased endometrial thickness (EMT) has been suggested to be associated with reduced birthweight of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) newborns. Considering the differences in ovarian stimulatio…

Aims: Protein tyrosine phosphatase Src-homology-2-domain-containing phosphatase 2 (SHP2) and adaptor protein Grb2-associated binding protein 2 (GAB2) can bind to each other in various signal transduction. However, the expression of SHP2 and…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role(s) of hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2) and hyaluronan in disease progression of endometriosis and epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced motility changes of endometriotic cells. DESIGN: A case-control experime…

Currently, there are no studies reporting the efficacy of fisetin in premature ovarian failure (POF). In this study, using mouse and Caenorhabditis elegans models, we found that fisetin not only significantly reversed ovarian damage in POF …

The purpose of this study was to integrate the existing expression profile data on endometriosis (EM)-related tissues in order to identify the differentially expressed genes. In this study, three series of raw expression data were downloade…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a benign gynaecological disease with malignant characteristics that severely affects women's quality of life. Long noncoding RNA maternally expressed gene 3 (LncRNA MEG3) is a tumour suppressor that is downregul…

BACKGROUND: MiRNAs play important roles in the development of ovarian cancer, activation of primitive follicles, follicular development, oocyte maturation and ovulation. In the present study, we investigated the specific role of miR-23a in …

BACKGROUND: Peak endometrial thickness (EMT), measured on the end of follicular phase or early luteal phase, is the most widely used marker for endometrial receptivity during infertility treatment. However, the clinical significance of foll…

BACKGROUND This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the follicular output rate (FORT) on the pregnancy outcome of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer…

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…

Interleukin (IL)-34 plays a critical role in cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, inflammation and immunoregulation. Numerous diseases can be attributed to the dysregulation of IL-34 signaling. This study was perfor…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Endometriosis is characterized by the occurrence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. Collagen triple helix repeat containing-1 (CTHRC1) is known as a tumour-promoting factor in several neoplasms. This study aim…

ObjectivesPreoperative decision-making for differentiating malignant from benign lesions in the gallbladder remains challenging. We aimed to create a diagnostic nomogram to identify gallbladder cancer (GBC), especially for incidental GBC (I…

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…

Background: Findings by epidemiologic studies on menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and the risk of ovarian cancer are inconsistent. This study aimed to assess the association of menopausal HRT with the risk of ovarian cancer by h…

PURPOSE: Dydrogesterone (DYG) has been demonstrated to be an alternative progestin in the progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol with comparable oocyte retrieval and pregnancy outcomes. However, its safety regarding neonatal o…

OBJECTIVE: Frozen-thawed embryo transfer enables surplus embryos derived from IVF or IVF-ICSI treatment to be stored and transferred in subsequent cycles into a more "physiologic environment". This study aimed to investigate the clinical ef…

PURPOSE: Dydrogesterone (DYG) is an alternative progestin in progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol with weaker pituitary suppression than medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) in normal ovulatory women. However, the endocrinologi…

AIM: To investigate the roles of cell migration and invasion mediated by Twist in endometriosis. METHODS: The protein levels and locations of Twist, N-cadherin and E-cadherin were measured by Western blot and immunohistochemistry in ectopi…

BACKGROUND: Non-elective freeze-all policy has been increasingly utilized in assisted reproductive treatment, but the optimal timing of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) after controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) remains to be investigate…

BACKGROUND: Meningioma incidence was reported to have risen substantially in the United States during the first decade of the 21st century. There are few reports about subsequent incidence trends. This study provides updated data to investi…

The activation of systemic and local inflammatory mechanisms, including elevated levels of chemokines and proinflammatory cytokines in endometriosis progression, is becoming more evident in the recent years. Here, we report the involvement …
