The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic role of CRP in ovarian cancer and to assess whether CRP can be combined with tumor markers to enhance the diagnostic efficacy toward ovarian cancer. Area under the curve, sensi…
BACKGROUND: Uterine angioleiomyoma is a rare variant of leiomyoma, and the main therapy is complete surgery. This study introduces the benefit of three-dimensional computed tomography reconstruction for preoperative preparation. CASE PRESE…
Fibrinogen alpha chain (FGA), a cell adhesion molecule, contains two arginyl-glycyl-aspartic acid (RGD) cell adhesion sequences. Our previous study demonstrated that FGA, as an up-regulated protein in endometriosis (EM), was closely related…
BACKGROUND: The primary aim of the study is to report cases of monozygotic dichorionic-diamniotic (DC-DA) pregnancies after single frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer. METHODS: This is a retrospective case series. All single frozen-thawed bl…
OBJECTIVE: Energy metabolism abnormality is the hallmark in epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). This study aimed to investigate energy metabolism pathway alterations and their regulation by the antiparasite drug ivermectin in EOC for the di…
Metabolic profile of follicular fluid (FF) has been investigated to look for biomarkers for oocyte quality. Resolvin E1 (RvE1), a potent pro-resolving mediator, was reported to have protective action in cell function. The study aimed to exa…
Exosomes have recently emerged as key mediators of different physiological and pathological processes. However, there has been few report about proteomic analysis of exosomes derived from human follicular fluid and their association with th…
The pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair systems used in China are imported and expensive. Our aim was to compare the efficacy and safety of a self-developed pelvic floor repair system versus the Avaulta system.This was a multicenter, randomi…
Abstract Abstract: Context: Graves’ orbitopathy (GO) presents with infiltrative exophthalmos due to excessive proliferation, adipogenesis and glycosaminoglycans production of orbital fibroblasts (OFs). There are few therapies potent for pro…
BACKGROUND: A reliable noninvasive biomarker is not yet available for endometriosis diagnosis. Novel biomarkers for the diagnosis of endometriosis are urgently needed. The molecular constituents of exosomes, especially exosomal microRNAs (m…
At present, the precise role of human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) and recombinant luteinizing hormone (rLH) supplementation at an early time of follicular phase on in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intra cytoplasmatic sperm injection (ICSI) ou…
RATIONALE: Uterine adenosarcoma (UA) with sarcomatous overgrowth (ASSO) is a rare and aggressive disease. Herein, wereported the case of a young patient with advanced uterine ASSO. PATIENTS CONCERNS: A 29-year-old woman with the diagnoses …
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of oral contraceptive pill (OCP) as therapy for endometrial hyperplasia (EH) without atypia in reproductive-aged women compared with oral progestin. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was carried…
BACKGROUND: Dienogest provided significantly greater reduction in endometriosis-associated pelvic pain (EAPP) than placebo in a 24-week, randomized, double-blind study of Chinese women with endometriosis. The current open-label extension st…
RESEARCH QUESTION: In the group's previous study, fibrinogen alpha chain (FGA) was identified as an up-regulated differential protein that was highly expressed in women with endometriosis. The current study investigated the expression and e…
Gut microbial β-glucuronidase (GUS) enzymes have been suggested to be involved in the estrobolome, the collection of microbial reactions involving estrogens. Furthermore, bacterial GUS enzymes within the gastrointestinal tract have been pos…
BACKGROUND: Incarceration of the gravid uterus is a rare obstetric disorder that contributes to pregnancy-related complications. To understand its clinical characteristics and managements, we have reviewed the etiology, risk factors, clinic…
Objective: To investigate whether circulating LH levels could be used as an indicator for the timing of antagonist addition in GnRH antagonist protocol. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: University-based hospital. Patients: A tot…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to explore the effect of miR-146b expression and variants on endometriosis and its associated pain symptom. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Genotyping and expression of miR-146b was performed on 74 endometriosis…
The human cytochrome P450 CYP3A7, once thought to be an enzyme exclusive to fetal livers, has more recently been identified in neonates and developing infants as old as 24 months post-gestational age. CYP3A7 has been demonstrated to metabol…
BACKGROUND: Yolk sac tumors (YSTs) are the second most common germ cell malignancy of the ovaries generally present in children and young women. YSTs arising in combination with epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) in older women are rarely r…
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important modulators of cancer progression, among which prostate cancer-associated transcript 1 (PCAT1) has been shown to be an oncogene in several tumors. However, the clinical significance an…
Robert’s uterus is an asymmetric septate uterus with a noncommunicating cavity and is a rare Müllerian anomaly. We present a rare case of pregnancy in a blind cavity and the first report of ipsilateral renal agenesis. A 23-year-old primigra…
