When the presence of endometriotic lesions are not evident by hematoxylin and eosin staining, CD10 is used to highlight and confirm the presence of endometriotic stroma. However, CD10 is not specific only to the endometrial stroma but is al…

Breast cancer is the most common diagnosed malignancy in women. This study genotyped blood samples from 236 Han Chinese women with breast cancer and 128 healthy controls for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2977537, rs2929970, rs292…

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…

BACKGROUND: Visceral hypersensitivity is considered to play a vital role in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Neurotrophins have drawn much attention in IBS recently. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was found to m…

The aberrant expression of miR107‑5p is closely related to the development of several types of human cancers. However, the role of miR‑107‑5p in endometrial carcinoma (EC) has not been fully confirmed. In the present study, we aimed to expl…

Endometriosis is associated with inflammatory reaction, and reactive oxidative species (ROS) are highly pro-inflammatory factors. Mitochondria are responsible for the production of ROS and energy. However, little is known about how mitochon…

OBJECTIVE: Uterine carcinosarcomas (UCSs) are aggressive rare tumors recognized as malignancies composed of metaplastic transformation of epithelial elements. Nay no comprehensive molecular classification has been applied to UCS to guide ta…

Rationale: Abnormal Wnt/β-catenin signaling in the endometrium can lead to both embryo implantation failure and severe pathogenic changes of the endometrium such as endometrial cancer and endometriosis. However, how Wnt/β-catenin signaling …

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The incidence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as a metabolic disease is increasing annually. In the present study, we aimed to explore the influence of NAFLD on the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP). METHO…

Background: To investigate the optimal ovulation trigger-oocyte pickup (OPU) interval of a progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol. Method: Patients with normal ovarian reserve in their first PPOS OPU cycle were enrolled in thi…

In cases of extragenital endometriosis or microscopic endometriosis lesions, pathological diagnosis can be challenging because endometriotic stroma and glands represent only a minor component of fibrotic endometriotic lesions. For better ac…

OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to assess the predictive value of the anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) serum level for spontaneous pregnancy in women after endometriosis surgery. METHODS: In total, 124 patients with suspected ovarian endom…

OBJECTIVE: Frozen-thawed embryo transfer enables surplus embryos derived from IVF or IVF-ICSI treatment to be stored and transferred in subsequent cycles into a more "physiologic environment". This study aimed to investigate the clinical ef…

Objective: Progestin was recently used as an alternative of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analog for preventing premature luteinizing hormone (LH) surge with the aid of vitrification techniques, however, limited data were available …

BACKGROUND The present study aimed to determine serum markers for cervical cancer (CC) and to provide valuable references for clinical diagnosis and treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS Serum samples were collected from age-matched healthy contr…

Introduction: Recent evidence demonstrates that women with myotonic dystrophy type 1 are at increased risk of reproductive organ tumors. However, studies of reproductive cancer risk factors in those patients are lacking. Methods: Using ques…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is thought to affect the effectiveness of ART by an increased risk of miscarriage. We aimed to investigate the impact of endometriosis in women achieving singleton pregnancies through IVF fresh cycles and risk of m…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of scheduled ramosetron injections for controlling postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after single-port access total laparoscopic hysterectomy (SPA-TLH). METHODS:…

RATIONALE: During a normal pregnancy, in the 1st trimester uterus lies in pelvis and enlarges in size as the pregnancy advances. By 14 weeks of gestation, the gravid uterus transforms from a pelvis to an abdominal organ and a retroverted ut…

The female upper reproductive tract, including the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries, is believed to be a sterile environment. With the improvement of bacterial detection, the theory of the sterile female upper reproductive tract has been…

Recent molecular genetic findings on endometriosis and normal endometrium suggest a modified model in which circulating epithelial progenitor or stem cells intended to regenerate uterine endometrium after menstruation may become overreactiv…

OBJECTIVE: Ovarian low-grade serous carcinomas are thought to evolve in a stepwise fashion from ovarian epithelial inclusions, serous cystadenomas, and serous borderline tumors. Our previous study with clinicopathological approach showed th…

Tussilagone (TSL) is a sesquiterpenoid isolated from Tussilago farfara, which has been used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of asthma and bronchitis. It also takes part in the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, but its r…
