BackgroundOvarian endometriosis is the most frequent type of endometriosis. Despite the use of surgery and medication, many patients suffer from recurrence within near future. Currently, there are no effective clinical characteristics avail…

Objective: To investigate the cumulative live birth rates (CLBR) according to body mass index (BMI) in women undergoing their first in vitro fertilization (IVF). Design: Retrospective cohort analysis. Setting: An IVF clinic in a public hosp…

PurposeTo compare monozygotic twinning (MZT) rates in patients undergoing fresh embryo transfer (ET) and frozen embryo transfer.MethodsAll clinical pregnancies after single ET carried out in our IVF center between 2014 and 2018 (n = 8459) w…

Laparoscopic anterior resection of rectum (AR) is one of surgical approaches for deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Up to date, no clinical trials have clearly analyzed the short-term and long-term complications post-surgically, indic…

Abstract Background: Adenomyosis and endometriosis are often co-existent. Laparoscopic surgery is one of the main methods to diagnose and treat these conditions. However, very few studies have been done that concentrate on the pregnancy out…

PurposeTo evaluate reproductive outcomes of artificial insemination and IVF with donor sperm (AID or IVF-D) for male-factor couples with a history of unsuccessful ICSI attempt.MethodsThis retrospective cohort includes couples with severe ma…

Objective: To investigate the characteristics and outcomes of low prognosis patients defined by POSEIDON criteria undergoing IVF treatment. Design: Retrospective cohort analysis. Setting: An IVF clinic in a public hospital. Patients: 18,455…

PURPOSE: To compare the clinical outcome of fresh embryo transfer with frozen-thawed embryo transfer in subsequent cycle of GnRH antagonist protocol. METHODS: Totally, 1430 women were enrolled from the cases of our Assisted Reproduction Ce…

It is unknown whether seasonal variation influences the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Previous studies related to seasonal variation of IVF were all small sample size, and the results were conflicting. We performed a retrospectiv…

Endometriosis is one of the major causes of economic burden and compromised quality of life in a very large percentage of Asian women. While it is perceived as a benign condition, recent research has shown that it may be a significant cause…

Sex differences are widely observed under various circumstances ranging from physiological processes to therapeutic responses, and a myriad of sex-biased genes have been identified. In recent years, transcriptomic datasets of microRNAs (miR…

BackgroundThe diagnosis of Behçet's disease (BD) remains challenging due to the lack of diagnostic biomarkers. This study aims to identify potential serum metabolites associated with BD and its disease activity.MethodsMedical records and se…

BackgroundOvary enlargement is common in controlled ovarian stimulation, which could continue several months during a successful pregnancy. However, persistent megalocystic ovaries 3 years after ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) were…

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases, although their expression pattern and role in endometriosis remains unknown. Therefore, here, we profiled the expression patterns of circRNAs in ovarian ectopic and…

Non-traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) is an orthopedic refractory disease with escalating morbidity in Chinese Han population. In our case-control study, we examined eight previously identified MMP9 single-nucleotide polymorphi…

Triclosan (TCS) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that is frequently used in pharmaceuticals and personal care products. Reports have shown that TCS is a potential endocrine disruptor; however, the potential effects of TCS on placenta…

ObjectivePuerarin is a natural flavonoid isolated from the TCM lobed kudzuvine root. This study investigated the effect and mechanisms of puerarin on diabetic aorta in rats.MethodsStreptozotocin- (STZ-) induced diabetic rats were administer…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of potassium channels and the influence of estrogen and progesterone on the cultured uterine smooth muscle cells (USMC) of adenomyosis in vitro. METHODS: There were 22 cases of adenomyosis hysterecto…

Most psychiatric disorders are moderately to highly heritable. The degree to which genetic variation is unique to individual disorders or shared across disorders is unclear. To examine shared genetic etiology, we use genome-wide genotype da…

ObjectiveTo examine the regulation and the function of activin-A in stromal cells derived from endometrioma.DesignMolecular studies.SettingUniversity research laboratory.Patient(s)Endometrioma stromal cells (EoSC) were obtained from 28 pati…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate follicle loss and its associated factors during laparoscopic cystectomy for ovarian endometrioma. METHOD: Between October 2008 and December 2009, 140 patients with ovarian cysts undergoing laparoscopic cystectomy at P…

OBJECTIVE: To study the regulation of microRNA 199a (miR-199a) on adhesion, migration and invasion ability of human eutopic endometrial stromal cells (ESC) from patients with endometriosis. METHODS: ESC were transfected with miR-199a mimics…
