BACKGROUND: Women with endometriosis and previous cystectomy may respond less well to gonadotropin stimulation, which results in fewer oocytes retrieved and poor pregnancy outcomes. Choosing an appropriate protocol for such populations is e…

Abstract BackgroundCoronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) respiratory disease rapidly caused a global pandemic and social and economic disruption. The combination of Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Conventional Western medicine (CWM) i…

BACKGROUND Previous research has focused on poor outcomes from a lack of insurance, but the effects of different types of insurance for patients with sepsis in the intensive care unit (ICU) have not been well studied. We aimed to investigat…

PURPOSE: Problems with fallopian tubes are one of the main reasons for women to undergo in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). A large proportion of women with ectopic pregnancy, fallopian tube obstruction and hydrosalpinx have ha…

OBJECTIVE: Endometrial injury (EI) is a simple procedure that may improve endometrial receptivity. The purpose of our study was to investigate whether EI improves reproductive outcomes of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles in patien…

Huaier, as known as Trametes robiniophila Murr, is a traditional Chinese medicine. Various studies have demonstrated that Huaier could inhibit cancer progression and improve the prognosis of patients. In the present study, we comprehensivel…

Recently, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have become the key gene regulators and prognostic biomarkers in various cancers. Through microarray data, Linc00339 was identified as a candidate oncogenic lncRNA. We compared the expression levels o…

This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the effect of placental location on birthweight discordance among diamniotic-dichorionic twin pregnancies. Medical records and sonographic reports of 978 diamniotic-dichorionic twin pregn…

Gallbladder cancer represents the most common malignancy of the biliary tract and is highly lethal with less than 5% overall 5-year survival rate. Chemotherapy remains the major treatment for late-stage patients. However, insensitivity to t…

ObjectivesTo evaluate the feasibility of differentiating between acute pancreatitis (AP) and healthy pancreas using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and correlate apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) /fractional anisotropy (FA) values with th…

Lifestyle factors are responsible for a considerable portion of cancer incidence worldwide, but credible estimates from the World Health Organization and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) suggest that the fraction of ca…

Serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is widely used to predict the prognosis for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, hyperbilirubinemia and the CA19-9 nonsecretor phenotype restrict the usage of serum CA19-9 alone. The goa…

INTRODUCTION: We report the management and outcome of the case of a 57-year old woman with adenocarcinoma of the rectum. Following neo-adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy and laparoscopic-assisted anterior resection of her tumour she developed a ri…

BackgroundSeveral different microarray platforms are available for measuring gene expression. There are disagreements within the microarray scientific community for intra- and inter-platform consistency of these platforms. Both high and low…

The discovery of novel uracil phenylethylamines bearing a butyric acid as potent human gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (hGnRH-R) antagonists is described. A major focus of this optimization was to improve the CYP3A4 inhibition liabi…

CONTEXT: Parenteral administration of peptide GnRH analogs is widely employed for treatment of endometriosis and fibroids and in assisted-reproductive therapy protocols. Elagolix is a novel, orally available nonpeptide GnRH antagonist. OBJ…
