Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA) combing human epididymis secretary protein 4 (HE4) and CA125 showed better diagnostic accuracy for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) when compared with HE4 or CA125 alone; however, other studies sho…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the role of miRNAs in pathogenesis of endometriosis. METHODOLOGY: Endometrial samples from 57 females with endometriosis and 44 non-endometriotic controls were compared for the expression of a selected…

The aim of the present study was to evaluate correlations between preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) serum concentration and the clinical-pathological parameters of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), as well as cancer antigen 125 (CA125) c…

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…

Polymorphisms in the Xba I and Pvu II restriction enzyme recognition sites in the estrogen receptor-alpha gene (ESR1) have been associated with multiple diseases, including osteoarthritis. To determine whether such polymorphisms are associa…

Submucosal tumors (SMTs) are usually discovered fortuitously during routine endoscopy, including various non-neoplastic and neoplastic conditions. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is considered to be the best imaging procedure to characterize SM…

Adenomyosis is a finding that is associated with dysmenorrhea and heavy menstrual bleeding, associated with PI3K/AKT signaling overactivity. To investigate the effect of metformin on the growth of eutopic endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) fr…

Although it is well known that acupuncture has beneficial effects on a variety of medical conditions especially in pain relief, nausea, and vomiting, it remains controversial whether it has positive impact on the female reproduction. The pr…

This study used proteomic fingerprint technology, combining nano-sized magnetic beads with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), to screen for potential protein biomarkers for the diagn…

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of gestrenone and compound traditional Chinese medicine after conservative operation for endometriosis. Methods This study involved 120 patients after conservative operation for endometriosis…

OBJECTIVES: Despite great advances in therapeutic management, the mortality rate for ovarian cancer has remained relatively stable over the past 50 years. This study was designed to evaluate the expression of B7-H4 protein, recently identif…

PurposeTo compare the effectiveness of double IUI with single IUI in male factor and idiopathic infertility patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH).MethodsA prospective randomized study of 1257 COH-IUI cycles was perfo…

OBJECTIVE: To study the optimal position and method for ovarian transposition and its benefits and indications. METHODS: We performed ovarian transposition in 34 patients from August 1989 to December 2000. Twelve patients were diagnosed wit…

A self-made radioimmunoassay CA125 kit (using OC125 monoclonal antibody ascites offered by Dr. Bast Laboratory which was purified, solidified and labelled with 125I) was used for serum determination in 80 patients with epithelial ovarian ca…
