Endometriosis (EM) is a common and benign estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder among women of reproductive age, and secondary dysmenorrhea is one of the more severe symptoms. However, the mechanism behind the development of dysmenorrhe…

Infertile women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) confront an increased miscarriage rate in assisted reproductive technology (ART). Genetic abnormality is the most important factor. However, the effects of DOR and female age on the mole…

Rationale: Growth differentiation factor-8 (GDF-8), also known as myostatin, belongs to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily. GDF-8 is expressed in the ovary and regulates various ovarian functions. Ovarian hyperstimulati…

BACKGROUND: Impaired endometrial receptivity is a major reason for embryo implantation failure. There's a paucity of information regarding the role of circRNAs on endometrial receptivity. Here, we investigated the function of hsa_circ_00194…

Predisposition of germline BRCA1/2 mutations (gBRCAMUT ) increases the risk of breast and ovarian cancer in females, but the mutation prevalence and spectrum are highly ethnicity-specific with different recurrent mutations being reported in…

Oxidative stress (OS) arises when the body is subjected to harmful endogenous or exogenous factors that overwhelm the antioxidant system. There is increasing evidence that OS is involved in a number of diseases, including ovarian cancer (OC…

BACKGROUND: This study aimed at determining the predictive value of human chorionic gonadotropin and progesterone levels on pregnancy outcomes in patients receiving in vitro fertilization due to fallopian tube associated infertility. METHO…

Recent evidence revealed an inhibitory effect of circ-ITCH on the progression of papillary thyroid cancer via affecting the circ-ITCH/miR-22-3p/CBL axis. Rs4911154, an SNP located in circ-ITHC, was previously reported to be significantly as…

BACKGROUND: In-vitro-grow (IVG) of preantral follicles is essential for female fertility preservation, while practical approach for improvement is far from being explored. Studies have indicated that neurotrophin-4 (NT-4) is preferentially …

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine whether sub-diaphragmatic irrigation with sodium bicarbonate would relieve post-laparoscopic shoulder pain (PLSP) after total laparoscopic hysterectomy. DESIGN: Randomized double-blinded trial. SETTING: Teach…

STUDY QUESTION: What is the status of fertility treatment and birth outcomes documented over the first 6 years of the Canadian Assisted Reproductive Technologies Register (CARTR) Plus registry? SUMMARY ANSWER: The CARTR Plus registry is a …

BACKGROUND: The increasing volume of health-related social media activity, where users connect, collaborate, and engage, has increased the significance of analyzing how people use health-related social media. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this stu…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to discuss the clinical characteristics and the prognosis of surgically diagnosed endometriosis complicated by endometrial polyps and investigate the association between pregnancy outcomes during subsequ…

INTRODUCTION: The time-lapse imaging system (TLS) is a newly developed non-invasive embryo assessment system. Compared with conventional incubators, a TLS provides stable culture conditions and consistent observations of embryo development,…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Which factors are related to early spontaneous miscarriage in IVF-conceived clinical pregnancies? DESIGN: A total of 21,485 clinical pregnancies were included in the analysis. First, early spontaneous miscarriage rates w…

OBJECTIVE: Sleep disturbances are associated with increased risk of migraine, however the extent of shared underlying biology and the direction of causal relationships between these traits is unclear. Delineating causality between sleep pat…

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) for ovarian cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A thorough research was conducted in PubMed, Web of…

Abstract Abstract: Context: Graves’ orbitopathy (GO) presents with infiltrative exophthalmos due to excessive proliferation, adipogenesis and glycosaminoglycans production of orbital fibroblasts (OFs). There are few therapies potent for pro…

Some fertility patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) experience ceased follicular growth during COH and fail to superovulate. In this article, 24 such PCOS patients resumed COH 1…

Aim of the present work was to investigate the clinical efficacy of Kuntai capsule in the treatment of postmenopausal women with endometriosis, Breast pain and Vaginal Bleeding. 120 elderly female outpatients over 50 years old with Breast p…

BACKGROUND Patients with endometriosis (EMs) are routinely advised to take GnRH-a for 3-6 months to improve the internal reproductive environment, but this may not be necessary. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study examined the eff…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a common and severe complication for patients undergoing IVF/ICSI-ET. Melatonin widely participates in the regulation of female reproductive endocrine activity. However, whether melato…

BACKGROUND: The highly conservative miR-15/107 family (also named as miR-15/107 gene group) including ten miRNA members is currently recognized strongly implicated in multiple human disorders. Some studies focus on the entire family rather …

Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) mediates the rate-limiting step in ovarian steroidogenesis and progesterone (P4) synthesis. Melatonin and its receptors are expressed in human granulosa cells, and have been shown to influence b…

Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an IL-7-like cytokine that has been reported to be associated with several malignant tumors. The present study aimed to evaluate its role in epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). The mRNA levels of TSLP …
