A 37-year-old woman presented with worsening intermittent chest pain and dyspnea in the previous year. Although the dyspnea was exertion-dependent, her chest pain was heavily dependent on her postural position, worsening in the supine posit…

OBJECTIVE: To appraise the current randomized clinical trials (RCTs) for evidence of the association of growth hormone (GH) with improved outcomes in infertile women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) undergoing in vitro fertilization (I…

BACKGROUND: Optimal protocols for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) after preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) remain unclear. This study compared Day 5 (D5) and Day 6 (D6) blastocysts and evaluated predictors of FET success. METHODS: A…

BACKGROUND: Abdominal wall desmoid-type fibromatoses (AWDF) are occasionally encountered in clinical work, but related CT reports are rare, and most cases were misdiagnosed as malignant tumors. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine the diagnost…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of transabdominal ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (PMWA) in the treatment of symptomatic focal and nonfocal adenomyosis. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. …

BACKGROUND: In vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is a crucial assisted reproductive technology for treating infertility. However, recurrent implantation failure (RIF), a significant challenge in IVF-ET success, remains unresolved…

In view of their low immunogenicity, biomimetic internal environment, tissue- and organ-like physicochemical properties, and functionalization potential, decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) materials attract considerable attention an…

BACKGROUND: Ectopic pregnancy is more common amongst assisted reproduction cycles and is a cause of significant maternal morbidity. Few predictive markers exist to help identify and modify risk of ectopic pregnancy in preparing for embryo t…

OBJECTIVE: Developing a non-invasive and reliable triage test for endometrial malignant lesions is an important goal, as it could help to reduce the number of invasive diagnostic procedures required and improve patient survival. We aimed to…

The risk of endometriosis (EM), which is a common complex gynaecological disease, is related to genetic predisposition. However, it is unclear how genetic variants confer the risk of EM. Here, via Sherlock integrative analysis, we combined …

BackgroundAcute pancreatitis (AP) is a common inflammatory disease of the pancreas with high mortality rates. It is of great significance to take scientific intervention measures for patients with AP in time.AimTo explore the effect of stan…

Abstract Background Deconvolution of immune microenvironment that drive transcriptional programs throughout the menstrual cycle is key to understanding regulatory biology of endometrium. Methods We comprehensively analyzed single cell trans…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the correlation of magnetic resonance (MR) T2-weighted image (T2WI) signal characteristics of adenomyosis and the efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation. METHODS: Based on the presence or absen…

PurposeTo identify the survival and prognostic factors for cardiac amyloidosis (CA) in Chinese patients.MethodsThis was a prospective cohort study of 72 patients diagnosed with CA and admitted to the PLA General Hospital between November 20…

Endometriosis (EM) is characterized by the existence of endometrial mucosa outside the uterine cavity, which causesinfertility, persistent aches, and a decline in women's quality of life. Both hormone therapies and nonhormone therapies, suc…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the risk factors for intrauterine device (IUD) embedment in postmenopausal women. METHODS: A total of 731 women who underwent hysteroscopy for IUD removal from January 2019 to December 2021 were inclu…

BACKGROUND: This prospective randomized controlled study was designed to evaluate the effect of S-ketamine with sufentanil given intraoperatively and postoperatively on recovery of gastrointestinal (GI) function and postoperative pain in gy…

BACKGROUND: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is defined as a reduction in ovarian reserve and oocyte quality. The pathophysiology of DOR has not been completely explained as of yet. Scholars have uncovered a large number of exosomes that ha…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a common gynecological disorder characterized by abnormal growth of the endometrial stroma and glands outside the uterus. Tanshinone IIA, the active component of Chinese medicine Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge.), ha…

Endometriosis is defined as a disorder in which the glands and stroma of the endometrium grow and shed periodically outside the uterine cavity. Highly prevalent in women of reproductive age, the most common clinical manifestations are chron…

The etiology remains to be understood for endometriosis (EMS) which affected health negatively for 10% of reproductive-age women globally. Emerging studies found the associations of EMS with genital microbiota dysbiosis. However, the role o…

STUDY QUESTION: Can whole exome sequencing (WES) followed by trio bioinformatics analysis identify novel pathogenic genetic causes of first trimester euploid miscarriage? SUMMARY ANSWER: We identified genetic variants in six candidate gene…

Background: Diminished ovarian reserve is one of the most important causes of female infertility. In the etiology study of DOR, besides age, it is known that chromosomal abnormality, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and ovarian surgery can result…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the differences in the factors associated with endometriosis between Chinese and British patients. METHODS: This case-control study was conducted in 387 patients with endometriosis and 199 non-endometriosis patients a…

ObjectiveThis study aimed to develop multiphase big-data-based prediction models of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and a smartphone app for risk calculation and patients' self-monitoring.MethodsMultiphase prediction models were de…
