Objective To compare the efficacy of three protocols for ovarian stimulation in patients with diminished ovarian reserve during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Methods This prospective randomized study enrolled patients with diminis…
Endometriosis affects 6‑10% of women of reproductive age. Though a significant amount of research has explored the pathogenesis of endometriosis, little is clear. Elucidating the mechanisms is urgently required for improving the therapeutic…
BackgroundDespite limited information on neonatal safety, the transfer of frozen-thawed cleavage-stage embryos with blastomere loss is common in women undergoing in vitro fertilization. We aimed to evaluate the pregnancy outcomes and safety…
To compare the clinical outcomes of intrauterine insemination (IUI) with or without ovulation induction (OI), IUI cycles from January 2008 to December 2017 in Zhoushan Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital were included, consisting of 455…
S100 calcium-binding protein A6 (S100A6) is up-regulated in many malignancies and overexpression of S100A6 has been identified associated with proliferation, migration and invasion phenotype in several cancer cells. In the present study, we…
PurposeTo investigate the expression patterns of N-acetyl galactosamine transferases (GalNAc-Ts)-3 and GalNAc-T6 in clinicopathologically characterized endometriosis (EMS), and to explore their clinical significance.MethodsEctopic and eutop…
Synchronous endometrial and ovarian (SEO) carcinomas involve endometrioid neoplasms in both the ovary and uterus at the time of diagnosis. Patients were traditionally classified as having independent primary SEO lesions or as having metasta…
Objective This study evaluated associations of basal serum and follicular fluid (FF) anti-Muüllerian hormone (AMH) levels with in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients. Methods This prospective stud…
Ovarian reserve reflects both the quantity and quality of oocytes available for procreation, and is affected by many known and unknown factors. ABO blood type is related to a number of infertility processes, but it is unclear whether and ho…
STUDY QUESTION: Is phosphatase of regenerating liver-3 (PRL-3) associated with increased motility of endometriotic cells from endometrioma? SUMMARY ANSWER: Elevated PRL-3 promotes cytoskeleton reorganization, cell migration and invasion of …
Estradiol and its nuclear receptors, estrogen receptor (ER) α and ER-β, have important functions in endometriosis, and the transcriptional activity of these receptors is modulated by coactivators and corepressors. The steroid receptor RNA a…
BackgroundTo evaluate the application value of a spontaneously closed protective stoma (SCPS) in an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, which is a novel procedure first performed in our hospital in 2008.Materials and methodsTwo males cases with u…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of aquaporin 5(AQP5) on proliferation and migration of ectopic endometrial epithelial cells. METHODS: AQP5 shRNA interference fragments were designed and transfected into ectopic endometrial epithelial c…
Aquaporin 5 (AQP5) participates in the migration of endometrial cells. Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms associated with AQP5-mediated, migration of endometrial cells may contribute to a better understanding of endometriosis. Our obje…
PurposeTo demonstrate the appropriate diagnosis and treatment of perineal endometriosis.MethodsSeventeen patients who presented with a tender perineal mass coinciding with the menstrual cycle on the scar of a previous vaginally procedure we…
High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16, which is responsible for greater than 50% of cervical cancer cases, is the most prevalent and lethal HPV type. However, the molecular mechanisms of cervical carcinogenesis remain elusive, partic…
BackgroundRecent advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have provided new methods for preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) of human embryos from in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. However, there is still limited information about…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of mast cells in the pathogenesis of estrogen-mediated experimental endometriosis in rats. METHODS: Endometriosis model was established by transplanting autologous fragments of uterus to the inner surface …
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of sodium cromoglycate on experimental endometriosis in rats. METHODS: Endometriosis model was established in 36 unpregnant female SD rats by transplanting autologous fragments of endometrium to the inne…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of exogenous suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) in Janus Kinase/Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3) signaling pathways and examine the relationship between exogenous SOCS…
Abnormal endometrial expression of CC-chemokine receptor-1 (CCR1) may play a role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Adenomyosis, also called endometriosis interna, occurs when the endometrium invades the myometrium. The objective of thi…
The modulating attributes of steroid receptor RNA activator protein (SRAP) on steroid receptors have been shown in some types of tumor cells. There is compelling evidence to suggest that this molecule may play a critical role in the develop…
A missense single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the immune modulatory gene IL1A has been associated with ovarian cancer risk (rs17561). Although the exact mechanism through which this SNP alters risk of ovarian cancer is not clearly unde…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of a single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) in tumor suppressor gene P53 with the risk of endometriosis (EM) in Han Chinese women. METHODS: For 460 EM patients, 113 patients with endometrial carcinoma and 5…
