BACKGROUND: Gyejibokryeong-hwan (GBH), a herbal mixture that is widely used for climacteric syndrome, is studied for its efficacy; however, no study evaluated the GBH indication, which is a blood-stasis pattern based on traditional Chinese …

We performed clinical treatment, histopathology, immunohistochemistry and molecular analyses. To compare with the published literature and have a reference overview. A 57-year-old woman and a 77-year-old woman presented with mesonephric-lik…

Abstract Objective Endometriosis is a prevalent reproductive disorder that affects a significant number of women globally. Cathepsins, which are lysosomal cysteine proteases, contribute to several physiological and pathological processes, i…

BACKGROUND: Uterine contractions may interfere with embryo implantation in assisted reproductive technology. To reduce these contractions and improve success rates, the oxytocin antagonist atosiban has been suggested for administration duri…

OBJECTIVE: To study biomarkers to develop a novel diagnosis model for endometriosis and validate it using clinical samples. DESIGN: We used publicly available data sets and weighted gene coexpression network analysis to identify differenti…

Immune dysregulation has long been proposed to be associated with adenomyosis, but the underlying mediators and mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Here, we used flow cytometry to investigate the alterations in immune cell subsets in aden…

BACKGROUND: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and unexplained infertility (UI) are common pregnancy disorders that affect women's physical and mental health and lack effective treatment. Endometrial factors are one factor that leads to RPL. Th…

BACKGROUND: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a pathological type with a higher mortality rate among gynecological cancers today. Long-chain noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can regulate the transcription and expression of cellular genes. However,…

PURPOSE: The combination of Xiaozheng decoction with postoperative intravesical instillation has been shown to improve the prognosis of bladder cancer patients and prevent recurrence. However, the mechanisms underlying the efficacy of this …

Pain with bladder filling remains an unexplained clinical presentation with limited treatment options. Here, we aim to establish the clinical significance of bladder filling pain using a standardized test and the associated neural signature…

BACKGROUND: Oocyte degeneration was mostly described in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles; there is no report showing the relationship between oocyte degeneration and clinical outcomes in conventional in vitro fertilization (IV…

Background: Male and female gametes factors might contribute to the total fertilization failure (TFF). In first in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, decision-making of insemination protocol was mainly based on semen quality for the contribu…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance and impact of noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) on twin pregnancies. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twin pregnancies after artificial reproductive technology(ART) were tested by…

BACKGROUND: Gyejibokryeong-hwan (GBH) is an herbal medicine composed of five herbs. It has been widely used to treat gynaecological diseases in traditional East Asian medicine. Recent animal studies suggest antidepressant effects of GBH. In…

Urogenital tract infections with Chlamydia trachomatis have frequently been detected among patients diagnosed with sexually transmitted infections, and such infections lead to inflammatory complications. Currently, no licensed chlamydial va…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of different levels of physician experience on the high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation of uterine fibroids and to provide a reference for the use of non-perfused volume ratio (NPVR) standards …

Numerous studies have suggested the possibility of explaining the etiology of metabolic syndrome through DNA methylation. DNA methyltransferase 3B (DNMT3B) plays an important role in de novo DNA methylation. There was an alteration in mater…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of elevated sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) on fresh and frozen embryo transfer cycles. METHODS: A retrospective study was performed with 549 fresh embryo transfer cycles and 1340 frozen embryo transfer …

PURPOSE: Of women with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome and men with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome 85% have concomitant pelvic floor muscle tenderness (PFT). The significance of this finding is incompletely und…

Endometrial tumor has increased in occurrence and fatality in China during the last 11 years, owing to inconsistent hormone use and modifications in people living surrounding and lifestyles. One of the three main gynaecological tumors is en…

Rationale: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is closely linked to follicular dysplasia and impaired bidirectional oocyte-granulosa cell (GC) communication. Given that PCOS is a heterogeneous, multifactorial endocrine disorder, it is importan…

BACKGROUND: Infertility remains a significant public health concern. An issue with controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) is the selection of an exogenous gonadotropin (Gn) regimen, which is mainly based on urinary follicle-stimulating hormon…

BACKGROUND: Perioperative opioid use is associated with postoperative bowel dysfunction, which causes longer hospital stay and higher healthcare costs. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the equivalent doses of fentanyl, oxycodon…

Chronic exposure to hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) causes lung cancer in humans, however, the underlying mechanism has not been well understood. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are commonly studied non-coding RNAs. miRNA…

Endothelial dysfunction plays a critical role in many human angiogenesis-related diseases, including cancer and retinopathies. Small non-coding microRNAs (miRNAs) repress gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. They are critical …
