The purpose of this study was to determine the risk stratification of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing gynecological surgery. A retrospective study was conducted with a cohort of 739 consecutive female patients undergoing…

This study measured the antioxidant activity of follicular fluid (FF) in infertile patients and assessed its possible correlation between ovarian stimulation and pregnancy outcomes. Samples from 191 infertile patients undergoing in vitro fe…

OBJECTIVES: Different gonadotropin-releasing-hormone agonist (GnRH-a) formulations with different potency and associated side effects, therefore, different compliance and persistence of therapy. This study was to evaluate the difference of …

OBJECTIVE: Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) 158G/A and cytochrome P450-1B1 (CYP1B1) 432C/G gene polymorphisms have been associated with the risk of endometriosis and adenomyosis, but results remain inconclusive. The aim of this study was…

BackgroundDehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is now widely used as an adjuvant to IVF treatment protocols in poor responders. However, clinical evidence for DHEA on improvement of ovarian response and IVF outcome is still limited, the validity o…

We assessed the efficacy of biodegradable microspheres (MSs) containing nomegestrol acetate (NOMAC) for treatment of endometriosis in a rat model and investigated its preliminary mechanism of action. Sprague-Dawley rats with surgically impl…

As a classic type I cytokine, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) is known to manifest a miscarriage-inducing effect, although the specific mechanism is still unclear. To determine whether immune cells such as regulatory T (Treg) and Th17 cells are in…

BACKGROUND: Intravenous leiomyomatosis is a rare, benign, smooth muscle tumor originating in the uterus that may extend through the inferior vena cava into the heart. Intracardiac leiomyomatosis (ICL), present in 10% of patients with intrav…

UNLABELLED: Natural killer (NK)/T cell lymphoma of the female genital tract is extremely rare. We here report a case of 'nasal type' NK/T cell lymphoma arising in the uterus with adenomyosis in a 41-year-old woman with fever and hypogastral…

Inter-rater reliability is usually assessed by means of the intraclass correlation coefficient. Using two-way analysis of variance to model raters and subjects as random effects, we derive group sequential testing procedures for the design …

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of Sanlengwan (SLW) on adhesion molecules expression and the accretion in ectopic endometrium of rats. METHOD: Endometriosis was established by surgical implant of endometrial tissue which belong to its bod…

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…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the pro-resolution actions of 15-R-LXA(4) (LXA(4)) on endometriotic lesions and on the expression of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in the murine endometriosis model. STUDY …

PURPOSE: This study investigated whether the association between passive smoking exposure and primary dysmenorrhea is modified by two susceptibility genes, cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1)MspI and CYP1A1HincII. METHODS: We recruited 1645 femal…

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated whether the association between passive smoking exposure and dysmenorrhea is modified by two susceptibility genes, CYP1A1MspI and CYP1A1HincII. METHODS: This report includes 1645 (1124 no dysmenorrhea, 52…
