BACKGROUND: Selecting an appropriate and personalized Gn starting dose (GSD) is an essential procedure for determining the quality and quantity of oocytes in the controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) process of the in-vitro fertilization (IV…

BACKGROUND: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is secreted by granulosa cells in preantral follicles and small antral follicles. There is limited information about whether serum AMH levels are related to pregnancy outcomes during in vitro fertili…

Fatty acids play important roles in maintaining ovarian steroidogenesis and endometrial receptivity. Porcine primary ovarian granulosa cells (PGCs) and endometrial epithelial cells (PEECs) were treated with or without medium- and short-chai…

BACKGROUND: Progress has been achieved by using acupuncture widely for poor endometrial receptivity (PER). However, different acupuncture dosages may lead to controversy over efficacy. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the evidence-based conclusions …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to systematically summarize and form an expert consensus on the theoretical experience of tongue and facial features for the identification of nine types of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitutio…

The pathways of gametogenesis encompass elaborate cellular specialization accompanied by precise partitioning of the genome content in order to produce fully matured spermatozoa and oocytes. Transcription factors are an important class of m…

The embryo transfer depth may affect the chance of pregnancy. However, embryo dislodging caused by uterine contraction may occur after the transfer. The aim of the retrospective study was to investigate whether the factors associated with u…

PURPOSE: This study aims to evaluate clinical efficiency and side effects of combined therapy of traditional Chinese medicine in female treating chronic pelvic pain. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted by analyzing 179 patients wi…

Ovarian cancer is one of the most common gynecologic cancers that has the highest mortality rate. Endometrioid ovarian cancer, a distinct subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer, is associated with endometriosis and Lynch syndrome, and is ofte…

BACKGROUND: Histological grade is one of the most important prognostic factors of endometrial carcinoma (EC) and when selecting preoperative treatment methods, conducting accurate preoperative grading is of great significance. PURPOSE: To …

We aim to first systematically review and perform a meta-analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and, second, to evaluate the accuracy of various sonographic diagnostic crit…

BACKGROUND: Chinese herbal footbaths are an external therapy of traditional Chinese medicine that has been widely used to treat dysmenorrhea. This review aims to systematically evaluate its efficacy and safety for the treatment of dysmenorr…

BACKGROUND: Synchronization of follicles is key to improving ovulation stimulation with the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol. GnRH antagonist administration in the early follicular phase can quickly decrease gonadot…

Hexestrol (HES) is a synthetic non-steroidal estrogen that was widely used illegally to boost the growth rate in livestock production and aquaculture. HES can also be transferred to humans from treated animals and the environment. HES has b…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical effects of image-guided thermal ablation for the treatment of symptomatic adenomyosis (AD). DATA SOURCES: We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, ClinicalTrials.gov and Google Schol…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of luteinized unruptured follicles (LUF) on clinical outcomes of frozen/thawed embryo transfer (FET) of blastocysts. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, 2,192 patients who had undergone blastoc…

Cancer antigen 125 (CA125), encoded by the mucin 16 cell surface associated (MUC16) gene, has been widely used as a biomarker for ovarian cancer (OC) screening. However, it has yet to be elucidated as to why its levels increase with tumor p…

AIM: To explore the regulatory role and molecular mechanism of lncRNA-LINC01279 in endometriosis (EMs). METHODS: Between September 2018 and July 2019, 20 EMs patients and 20 healthy subjects were recruited to detect the expression of lncRN…

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a leading cause of death and is commonly accompanied by systemic manifestations that are generally associated with a poor prognosis. Many cytokines contribute to pancreatic tissue damage and cause systemic injury.…

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…
