Aim This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of serum cancer antigen 125 (CA125) levels before hormone replacement therapy on pregnancy outcomes in women with adenomyosis undergoing frozen embryo transfer. Methods A t…
BackgroundPsychological distress may exert a negative influence on reproductive function of couples at reproductive age. Couples seeking assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment may have a higher prevalence of psychological distress…
BackgroundVenous thromboembolism (VTE) and bleeding are serious and potentially fatal complications of surgical procedures. Pharmacological thromboprophylaxis decreases the risk of VTE but increases the risk of major post-operative bleeding…
Accumulating evidence has suggests that women with advanced endometriosis exhibit alterations in the expression of genes in the endometrium compared to healthy controls. Furthermore, replication stress is a characteristic feature of cancer …
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is benign gynecologic condition with complex etiologies. Common symptoms associated with adenomyosis (AM) include menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, metrorrhagia, and dyspareunia. Although Chinese herbal…
Results of previous epidemiology studies on BPA exposure and endometriosis (EMs) risk were inconsistent, and were limited by inappropriate control selection, incorrect BPA detection method, and the generalization of different subtypes of EM…
There were few studies of cumulative live birth rates (CLBRs) based on multicenter reproductive clinical data from the general Chinese population. Here we report a retrospective cohort study, including 14 311 women with 17 315 cycles, in th…
BackgroundWith 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 finalized…
ObjectiveTo compare signs and symptoms between patients with recurrent ectopic pregnancies (REP) and primary ectopic pregnancies (PEP) and to identify potential risk factors of REP.Materials and methodsData from 2014 to 2016 were analyzed. …
The extent to which factors affect the probability of clinical pregnancy in the first fresh embryo transfer after assisted conception is unknown. In order to examine the predictors of clinical pregnancy, a retrospective cohort study was lau…
Systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma) is a complicated idiopathic connective tissue disease with seldom effective treatment. GUI-ZHI-FU-LING-WAN (GFW) is a classic Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula widely used for the treatment of …
Embryo implantation is one of the pivotal steps during mammalian pregnancy, since the quality of embryo implantation determines the outcome of ongoing pregnancy and fetal development. A large number of factors, including transcription facto…
. Insights of the mechanism of competitive endogenous RNAs were obtained from bioinformatic analysis, RIP, RNA pull-down and luciferase assays, which further confirmed that LINC00261 functions as a molecular sponge to regulate BCL2L11 expre…
Abstract Background: Serum levels of cancer antigen 125 (CA125) are reportedly closely associated with the extent of adenomyosis. However, the association between serum CA125 levels before hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and the clinical…
In the most recent publications on Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, the uterine remnants and ovaries in patients may develop uterine remnant leiomyoma, adenomyosis, or ovarian tumor, and this can lead to problems in different…
Endometriosis is a benign disease, but has invasion and metastasis characteristics similar to malignant tumors. Clinically, it is a difficult problem of gynecological clinical treatment for its high recurrence rate. It has been confirmed th…
AIM: A previous study reported that LINC00261 is significantly downregulated in human ectopic endometrial tissues. The present study aimed to explore whether LINC00261 is functional in endometriosis cell proliferation, apoptosis and migrati…
BackgroundAdenomyomatosis of gallbladder is an acquired hyperplastic lesion, characterized by focal or diffuse thickening of the gallbladder with intramural cysts or echogenic areas with comet tail on ultrasonography. But in some cases, esp…
Inflammation has been implicated in the initiation and progression of ovarian cancer (OC), the underlying mechanisms of which are still unclear. We hypothesized that the abnormal expression of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), which were potentia…
BackgroundFibulin-4, a member of the fibulin family of extracellular glycoproteins, is implicated in the progressions of some cancers. However, no information has been available to date regarding the function of fibulin-4 in ovarian carcino…
BackgroundSurgery plays an important role in the management of endometrial cancer at all stages, particularly early clinical stage. There are still many unanswered questions regarding optimal surgical management of endometrial cancer, parti…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common disease. The most widely used staging system of endometriosis is the revised American Fertility Society classification (r-AFS classification) which has limited predictive ability for pregnancy after sur…
BackgroundProgesterone, via its nuclear receptor (PR), exerts an overall tumorigenic effect on both uterine fibroid (leiomyoma) and breast cancer tissues, whereas the antiprogestin RU486 inhibits growth of these tissues through an unknown m…
