OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to analyze the value of high-frequency ultrasound combined with color Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis of gallbladder polyps. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on 108 patients with gallbladder p…

Objective: This work was conducted in order to study the effect of the lower genital tract (vaginal and cervical canal) microbiota on pregnancy outcomes of reproductive-aged women receiving embryo transfer. Study design: A total of 150 repr…

BACKGROUND: Endometrial stromal tumors originate from the endometrial stroma and account for < 2% of all uterine tumors. Uterine tumor resembling an ovarian sex cord tumor (UTROSCT) is a rare histological class of endometrial stromal and re…

Abstract Background: In view of the similar MRI findings of endometriosis-related ovarian neoplasms, this study aimed to investigate the feasibility of whole-tumor apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis for differentiating …

ObjectiveNear-infrared fluorescence cholangiography (NIRF-C) can help to identify the bile duct during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This retrospective study was performed to investigate the effect of NIRF-C in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.…

BACKGROUND: The blastocyst morphology provided valuable roles for predicting pregnancy and live birth, but was still not fully understood for evaluating miscarriage. The aim of this study was to explore the association between blastocyst mo…

Today, despite decades of developments in medicine and the growing interest in precision healthcare, vast majority of diagnoses happen once patients begin to show noticeable signs of illness. Early indication and detection of diseases, howe…

BACKGROUND: Endometrial cancer is a common gynecological cancer with annually increasing incidence worldwide. However, the biomarkers that provide prognosis and progression for this disease remain elusive. RESULTS: Two eligible human endom…

BACKGROUND: Molecular analyses of vitamin D in a typical cycling endometrium has received minimal research attention in the reproductive field. This study was designed to assess how expression of the endometrial vitamin D receptor (VDR) and…

Aim: To explore the circular RNA (circRNA) profile in cumulus cells from endometriosis-associated infertility patients. Methods: The expression of circRNAs was profiled by high-throughput sequencing. Sanger sequencing was performed to ident…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze clinical studies on correlations between Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) body constitution types and diseases published in the past 10 years, and to provide an evidence base to support the use of such correlations f…

BACKGROUND: Displacement of the window of implantation (WOI) has been proposed as an important factor contributing to repeated implantation failure (RIF). However, the use of histologic endometrial dating as a diagnostic tool of endometrial…

Aging is a key risk factor for chronic diseases of the elderly. MicroRNAs regulate post-transcriptional gene silencing through base-pair binding on their target mRNAs. We identified nonlinear changes in age-related microRNAs by analyzing wh…

RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the expression pattern of microRNA (miRNA) in exosomes isolated from eutopic endometrial stromal cells (EuESC) of women with endometriosis-associated infertility? DESIGN: Small RNA sequencing was conducted in exo…

STUDY QUESTION: Does an artificially induced FSH surge at the time of hCG trigger improve IVF/ICSI outcomes? SUMMARY ANSWER: An additional FSH bolus administered at the time of hCG trigger has no effect on clinical pregnancy rate, embryo q…

INTRODUCTION: The women with hydrosalpinx have lower pregnancy rates in assisted reproductive technology, and only laparoscopic salpingectomy and tubal occlusion has proven to be effective to improve the outcome of in vitro fertilization. T…

BACKGROUND: Poor ovarian response (POR), a manifestation of low ovarian reserve and ovarian aging, leads to a significant reduction in the pregnancy rate after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer. Acupuncture has increasingly been used t…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to provide insight into the effect of time interval between loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) and subsequent hysterectomy on postoperative infectious morbidity in cervical neoplasia patients. METHOD…

Abstract Background Minimal and mild endometriosis patients with infertility are treated by in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ET/ICSI) in recent years. However, inconsistencies in findings wit…

STUDY QUESTION: Could erastin activate ferroptosis to regress endometriotic lesions? SUMMARY ANSWER: Erastin could induce ferroptosis to regress endometriotic lesions in endometriosis. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Ectopic endometrial stromal ce…

OBJECTIVE: To examine potential risk factors associated with the success rate following fallopian tube recanalization (FTR) in infertile women with obstruction of the proximal fallopian tube. METHODS: We retrospectively studied patients wh…

Cryoablation, as a well-characterized technology, has multifarious clinical applications. But few are reported on ureteral endometriosis. Thus, we examined the feasibility and safety of cryotherapy with a novel balloon cryoprobe on ureter i…

Abstract Background: And the incidence of endometriosis has been increased in recent years. Deep infiltrating endometriosis is the most advanced type of endometriosis. The treatments for patients with DIE and fertility desire are controvers…

The lysosome is the most acidic membrane-bound intracellular organelle. Lysosomal acidity is primarily maintained by vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) and counter ion channels. There are >60 hydrolytic enzymes in the lysosome for its fundamenta…

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…
