Epidemiological studies have observed that risk of endometriosis is associated with history of cutaneous melanoma and vice versa. Evidence for shared biological mechanisms between the two traits is limited. The aim of this study was to inve…

Abstract BackgroundTo determine whether Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist down regulation combined with hormone replacement treatment (HRT) can improve the reproductive outcomes in the frozen thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycle o…

Endometriosis is an oestrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory process with primary symptoms including dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. The immune environment of the endometrium is essential for successful embryo implantati…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis (AM) and endometriosis (EM) often coexist. Laparoscopic surgery is one of the main methods for diagnosing and treating these conditions. This study aims to investigate the pregnancy outcomes of women with infertility…

To investigate the predictive efficacy of the preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for natural pregnancy outcome after laparoscopic cystectomy in infertile patients with ovarian endometrioma (OMA). Current evidence suggests that e…

BACKGROUND: The ideal protocols of endometrial preparation for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients are lacking and need further declaration. Our objective was to compare the clinical outcomes of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) wit…

PURPOSE: Exploring potential risk factors for OMA recurrence, thereby contributing to the individual management of the disease and improving the patients' prognosis. METHODS: Data sources PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wan…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian endometriosis is the most frequent type of endometriosis. Despite the use of surgery and medication, many patients suffer from recurrence within near future. Currently, there are no effective clinical characteristics ava…

Objective: To investigate the cumulative live birth rates (CLBR) according to body mass index (BMI) in women undergoing their first in vitro fertilization (IVF). Design: Retrospective cohort analysis. Setting: An IVF clinic in a public hosp…

PURPOSE: To compare monozygotic twinning (MZT) rates in patients undergoing fresh embryo transfer (ET) and frozen embryo transfer. METHODS: All clinical pregnancies after single ET carried out in our IVF center between 2014 and 2018 (n = 8…

Laparoscopic anterior resection of rectum (AR) is one of surgical approaches for deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Up to date, no clinical trials have clearly analyzed the short-term and long-term complications post-surgically, indic…

Abstract Background: Adenomyosis and endometriosis are often co-existent. Laparoscopic surgery is one of the main methods to diagnose and treat these conditions. However, very few studies have been done that concentrate on the pregnancy out…

PURPOSE: To evaluate reproductive outcomes of artificial insemination and IVF with donor sperm (AID or IVF-D) for male-factor couples with a history of unsuccessful ICSI attempt. METHODS: This retrospective cohort includes couples with sev…

Objective: To investigate the characteristics and outcomes of low prognosis patients defined by POSEIDON criteria undergoing IVF treatment. Design: Retrospective cohort analysis. Setting: An IVF clinic in a public hospital. Patients: 18,455…

PURPOSE: To compare the clinical outcome of fresh embryo transfer with frozen-thawed embryo transfer in subsequent cycle of GnRH antagonist protocol. METHODS: Totally, 1430 women were enrolled from the cases of our Assisted Reproduction Ce…

It is unknown whether seasonal variation influences the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Previous studies related to seasonal variation of IVF were all small sample size, and the results were conflicting. We performed a retrospectiv…

Endometriosis is one of the major causes of economic burden and compromised quality of life in a very large percentage of Asian women. While it is perceived as a benign condition, recent research has shown that it may be a significant cause…

Sex differences are widely observed under various circumstances ranging from physiological processes to therapeutic responses, and a myriad of sex-biased genes have been identified. In recent years, transcriptomic datasets of microRNAs (miR…

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of Behçet's disease (BD) remains challenging due to the lack of diagnostic biomarkers. This study aims to identify potential serum metabolites associated with BD and its disease activity. METHODS: Medical records …

BACKGROUND: Ovary enlargement is common in controlled ovarian stimulation, which could continue several months during a successful pregnancy. However, persistent megalocystic ovaries 3 years after ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) we…

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases, although their expression pattern and role in endometriosis remains unknown. Therefore, here, we profiled the expression patterns of circRNAs in ovarian ectopic and…

Non-traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) is an orthopedic refractory disease with escalating morbidity in Chinese Han population. In our case-control study, we examined eight previously identified MMP9 single-nucleotide polymorphi…

Triclosan (TCS) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that is frequently used in pharmaceuticals and personal care products. Reports have shown that TCS is a potential endocrine disruptor; however, the potential effects of TCS on placenta…
