Study questionCan group culture with stage-specific anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) modulation support human follicular development and oocyte maturation in vitro?Summary answerIn the presence of FSH, AMH supplementation at the secondary-to-ea…

Atrial fibrillation (AF), a clinically common heart arrhythmia, can result in left ventricular hypofunction, embolism and infarction. MicroRNA (miR)‑101a‑3p is lowly expressed in atrial tissues of patients with AF, but its role in AF remain…

ObjectiveTo investigate whether the reproductive outcomes of oocytes with smooth endoplasmic reticulum aggregates (SERa) are impaired.MethodsA total of 2893 intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles were performed between January 2010 …

Uterine leiomyoma (LM) is the most common tumor in women. Via its receptor (PGR) expressed in differentiated LM cells, progesterone stimulates paracrine signaling that induces proliferation of PGR-deficient LM stem cells (LSCs). Antiprogest…

Abstract Objective: Typical endometrial polypoid adenomyoma (TPA) is a rare type of lesion in the uterine cavity or cervical canal. Although the clinical and pathologic features of TPA have been described extensively, reports on its pathoge…

PurposeIndividuals who completed treatment for prostate cancer (PCa) often report poor coping and practical concerns when adapting to new roles in their lives-and strong patient-provider communication is critical for this period. However, t…

BackgroundThis study aimed to explore the effects of triptorelin and leuprolide on serum hormone levels and the clinical efficacy of girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty (ICPP).MethodsRetrospective analysis was performed on 128 …

Tumor-infiltrating immune cells, associated with tumor progression, are promising prognostic biomarkers. However, the relationship between levels of gene expression and that of immune cell infiltration in cervical cancer prognosis is unknow…

To screen the key immune genes in the development of cervical cancer, construct immune related gene pairs (IRGPs), and evaluate their influence on the prognosis of cervical cancer. Tumor Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and geo database were do…

ObjectivesTo review the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) in the preoperative detection of uterosacral ligaments (USL) in patients with clinical suspicion of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).MethodsExtensive searches …

BackgroundIdiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (IVAs) can originate from the distal great cardiac vein (DGCV). However, inadequate distinction sometimes occurs when electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics are used to distinguish ventricula…

BackgroundThe blastocyst morphology provided valuable roles for predicting pregnancy and live birth, but was still not fully understood for evaluating miscarriage. The aim of this study was to explore the association between blastocyst morp…

PurposeGonadotrophin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) is widely used for pituitary down-regulation and recruiting more follicles in assisted reproduction. However, no information is available on its value for patients with thin endometria…

Objective: To evaluate the performance of transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) in diagnosis of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 198 patients with pathological diagnosis of DIE in our hospital from Ja…

Objective: To evaluate the effect of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger ovulation on pregnancy outcomes in natural IUI cycles with donor sperm. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 5,610 first-natural IUI cycles with do…

ProblemFor women of reproductive age, achieving a successful pregnancy requires both the normal functioning of reproductive endocrine and the health of the reproductive tract environment. We aimed to study how these fertility factors, such …

PurposeThe study aimed to investigate the relationship between elevated maternal body mass index (BMI) and foetal chromosomal aberrations by performing single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array-based genetic testing on products of concepti…

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) serve as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) and indirectly regulate gene expression through shared microRNAs (miRNAs). However, the potential circRNAs functioning as ceRNAs in osteoporosis remain unclear. The bone m…

BackgroundCocoon abdomen is a relatively rare abdominal disease characterized by the total or partial encasement of the small intestinal by a dense fibro-collagenous membrane.Case presentationWe reported an unusual case of idiopathic cocoon…

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine syndrome with poorly understood mechanisms. To provide patients with PCOS with individualized therapy, it is critical to precisely diagnose the phenotypes of the disease. How…

We investigated the effects of paternal characteristics, including age, body mass index (BMI), and semen parameters on chromosomal aberration-related miscarriages in couples that underwent treatment with assisted reproductive technology (AR…

IntroductionAcupuncture and moxibustion has become a commonly used adjuvant treatment method to improve the success rate of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). However, There is still insufficient evidence that acupuncture trea…

Mitochondrial fission is associated with cardiomyocyte death and myocardial depression, and suppressor of ras val-2 (SRV2) is a newly discovered pro-fission protein. In this study, we examined the mechanisms of SRV2-mediated mitochondrial f…

ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and clinical outcome of the all-blastocyst-culture and single blastocyst transfer strategy in women aged ≥35 years.MethodsA retrospective analysis of patients aged ≥35 years undergoing IVF/ICSI was pe…

AimsIn this systematic review and meta-analysis, we discuss the value of grey-scale ultrasonography (US) in diagnosing adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder (ACS).Material and methodsWe retrieved relevant studies from PubMed, Cochrane Library…
