STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine whether sub-diaphragmatic irrigation with sodium bicarbonate would relieve post-laparoscopic shoulder pain (PLSP) after total laparoscopic hysterectomy. DESIGN: Randomized double-blinded trial. SETTING: Teach…

As a chaperone protein of progesterone receptor (PR), FK-506 Binding Protein 52 (FKBP52) can enhance the activity of PR, but the mechanism of FKBP52 affecting PR expression levels is difficult to clarify. Here, we report a novel in vitro mo…

The implantation rate (IR) in assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection is affected by many different factors such as age, quality of embryo, and stage of embryo development…

The optimal protocol for endometrial preparation in patients with infertility remains unclear. Due to this, the current study retrospectively analyzed 1,589 patients with infertility and regular menstrual cycles to assess reproductive outco…

This study aimed to uncover effects of non-coding RNA transcripts on ovarian endometriosis (OEM) development. Two transcription datasets (GSE105764 and GSE105765) about OME were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and the…

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: Lower serum homocysteine (Hcy) levels are found to correlate with a better chance of clinical pregnancy and better embryo grades in assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, there is little knowledge on the association be…

BACKGROUND: The management of ground-glass opacities (GGOs) depends mainly on personal experience. In clinical practice, benign GGOs are not rare in resected specimens, for which operations may be avoided. We retrospectively compared the cl…

BACKGROUND: While single embryo transfer (SET) is widely advocated, double embryo transfer (DET) remains preferable in clinical practice to improve IVF success rate, especially in poor prognosis patients with only poor quality embryos (PQEs…

OBJECTIVE: In the present study, we aimed to determine whether pregravid obesity independently predicts increased risks of perinatal complications following in vitro fertilization (IVF) and the weight loss goals to reduce the risk of poor p…

PURPOSE: To examine the expression of MUC16 in the endometrium peri-implantation period in three different cohort studies. METHODS: This was a retrospective observational cohort study. A total of 245 participants were recruited in three se…

BACKGROUND: Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a common complication in women undergoing assisted reproductive treatment, but the underlying causes for this remain unclear. This study aimed to explore factors affecting the incidence of EP in in vitr…

BACKGROUND: With the rapid development of whole embryo freezing technology, more and more frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) was used in assisted reproductive technology. However, the best FET program for elderly women has not been finaliz…

BACKGROUND: Due to the high morbidity and poor clinical outcomes, early predictive and prognostic biomarker identification is desiderated in colorectal cancer (CRC). As a homologue of the Deleted in Colorectal Cancer (DCC) gene, the role of…

AIM: To study the involvement and interrelationship of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in endometriosis. METHODS: Samples from 114 patients undergoing endometrial biopsy or operation fo…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and ectopic pregnancy (EP) following embryo transfer (ET). DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: University-affiliated hospital. POPULATION: A total of 16 378…

Endometriosis is a common, chronic gynaecologic disease affecting up to 10% of women in their reproductive age and leading to pain and infertility. Oestrogen (E2 )-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process has been considered …

INTRODUCTION: Robotic hysterectomy may offer advantages for complex cases over the conventional laparoscopic approach. OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of surgical approach (robotic vs conventional) with blood loss, risks of readmissio…

OBJECTIVES: To retrospectively analyze the correlation between anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and the number of oocytes obtained by controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) in women of different ages and explore the factors affecting in vitr…

BACKGROUND: Estradiol (E2 ) is an important hormone in women. Changes of serum E2 levels may affect the endometrial receptivity for embryo implantation and thus affect pregnancy outcomes. This study was to assess the association between ser…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent gynecological condition characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. This study aimed to clarify the targeted therapeutic effect of sunitinib in an endometriosi…

Background: Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F can cause adverse effects (AEs) in clinical application and may be harmful to human health. This study aim to summarize the AEs caused by T. wilfordii tgpolyglycoside (TWP), the most common preparat…

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most lethal cancers worldwide. Inhibitor of differentiation 1 (Id1) is the member mostly linked to tumorigenesis in Id family and a potential molecular target in cancer therapy. In the curren…

BACKGROUND: Across major races in the United States (U.S.), ovarian cancer incidence is low among Asian American women. However, this observation aggregates Asian Americans as a single group despite their heterogeneity. Disaggregating the e…
