ImportanceImplantation failure remains a critical barrier to in vitro fertilization. Prednisone, as an immune-regulatory agent, is widely used to improve the probability of implantation and pregnancy, although the evidence for efficacy is i…
BackgroundOvarian cancer is the leading cause of gynecological cancer related death in females worldwide. Our previous study demonstrated that decreased expression of microRNA (miR-126) promoted ovarian cancer angiogenesis and invasion by t…
IntroductionCesarean scar defect (CSD) is a long-term outcome of cesarean section (CS) and associated with numerous gynecological and obstetric problems. Previous studies indicate that infection may be a risk factor for CSD. Adjunctive azit…
The mechanism by which endometriosis, a common gynecological disease characterized by chronic pelvic pain and infertility, causes infertility remains elusive. Luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome, the most common type of ovulatory dysfun…
BackgroundCervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women living in developing countries. Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a member of the nuclear receptor family, which regulates the development and proliferation of cancer. Howev…
Neuropeptide S (NPS) increases wakefulness. A small number of neurons in the brainstem express Nps. These neurons are located in or near the parabrachial nucleus (PB), but we know very little about their ontogeny, connectivity, and function…
The incidence of endometrial adenocarcinoma (EA) has increased worldwide in recent years due to the widespread use of estrogen therapy and the overall increase in life expectancy. However, we know of no sensitive molecular index that can be…
BackgroundDiminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is the precursor state of ovarian failure and can cause the decline of women's reproductive function. DOR also leads to poor outcome of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) by affect…
Salpingitis isthmica nodosa (SIN) is the nodular swelling or diverticulum of the isthmus of the fallopian tube. It is most commonly identified when investigating female infertility or in association with ruptured ectopic pregnancies. We exp…
ABSTRACT: This study investigates the effect of 2 laparoscopic methods on ovarian reserve in patients of reproductive age with endometriomas.This was a retrospective study performed at a tertiary medical center from Jan 1st to Dec 31st, 201…
AimTo explore the clinical effect of endometrial injury (EI) on the third day of the menstrual cycle before frozen-thawed embryo transfer (frozen-thawed ET) on patients experienced two or more implantation failures.MethodsA total of 200 pat…
IntroductionPerioperative infections may be considered predictors of caesarean scar defect (CSD), and multidose antibiotics have a protective effect against CSD. However, the ability of adjunctive azithromycin combined with cephalosporin to…
Endometriosis an important cause of female infertility and seriously impact physical and psychological health of patients. Endometriosis is now considered to be a public health problem that deserves in-depth investigation, especially the et…
Spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB), defined as delivery before 37 weeks of gestation, is thought to be a multifactorial syndrome. However, the inflammatory imbalance at the maternal-fetal interface promotes excessive secretion of inflammatory…
Protein expression levels of S100 calcium binding protein A6 (S100A6) are increased in various malignancies and are associated with tumor behavior; however, the association between S100A6 and endometriosis remains to be elucidated. In order…
BackgroundInternal herniation through lesser omentum hiatus and gastrocolic ligament with malrotation is extremely rare. This type of internal hernia has rarely been described before. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult and prone to misdiag…
To elucidate whether the endometriotic cells of endometriomas synthesize transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) and understand how it affects surrounding ovarian tissue. We collected biopsies of the cystic walls from 42 endometriomas …
BackgroundKey opinion leaders (KOLs) are people who can influence public opinion on a certain subject matter. In the field of medical and health informatics, it is critical to identify KOLs on various disease conditions. However, there have…
AIM: S100A6 is over-expressed in several human tumors, including pancreatic carcinoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, breast, colon, and gastric carcinoma, but little is known about the role of S100A6 in endometriosis. The aim of the prese…
AimsTo assess gender differences in characteristics, mortality rates, and the causes and predictors of death among treated opioid-dependent individuals.MethodsLinked vital statistics data were obtained for all individuals first enrolled in …
AimsTo estimate mortality rates among treated opioid-dependent individuals by cause and in relation to the general population, and to estimate the instantaneous effects of opioid detoxification and maintenance treatment (MMT) on the hazard …
