Background: Laparoscopy is considered to be the gold standard in the evaluation of causes leading to infertility. Hysterosalpingography (HSG) permits indirect visualization of the cervical canal, uterine cavity, and tube patency, which is h…
BackgroundThe mechanism of recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is unclear at present and poor endometrial receptivity may be one of the leading reasons. This study aims to construct a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network and identify p…
BackgroundWith the development of embryo freezing and warming technology, frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) has been widely utilized. However, studies investigating the association between cryopreservation duration and FET outcomes are li…
Intrauterine adhesion refers to endometrial repair disorders which are usually caused by uterine injury and may lead to a series of complications such as abnormal menstrual bleeding, recurrent abortion and secondary infertility. At present,…
Background: Immunological failure during pregnancy is considered one of the etiologies of recurrent miscarriage (RM). The decreased production of mixed lymphocyte reaction-blocking factors (MLR-Bf) may play a major role in this condition. L…
PurposeTo improve the diagnosis and identification of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (EC), we evaluated CT imaging findings and cut-off values for CEA and CA125.MethodsThe CT features and tumour marker…
There were few studies of cumulative live birth rates (CLBRs) based on multicenter reproductive clinical data from the general Chinese population. Here we report a retrospective cohort study, including 14 311 women with 17 315 cycles, in th…
Based on microRNA (miR) microarray analysis, we previously found that miR22-5p expression is decreased in the mid-luteal endometrium of women with minimal/mild endometriosis. Bioinformatics analysis predicted that miR22-5p targets ten-eleve…
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease affecting up to 10% of women at reproductive age. Prior combined studies implied that MYH8 mutations might exist in endometriosis. Here, 152 Han Chinese samples with ovarian endometriosis were…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of this review is to summarize and highlight recent critical advances in the diagnosis, classification, and management of adenomyosis. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent studies have clarified the specific mechanism thro…
The extent to which factors affect the probability of clinical pregnancy in the first fresh embryo transfer after assisted conception is unknown. In order to examine the predictors of clinical pregnancy, a retrospective cohort study was lau…
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to ascertain whether wearable technology coupled with action planning was effective in increasing physical activity (PA) in colorectal and endometrial cancer survivors at cardiovascular risk. METH…
Endometriosis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) share similar pathogenic mechanisms. Hence, this systematic review evaluates the association between endometriosis and lifetime ASCVD risk including co-prevalence with dyslipi…
Endometriosis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) are both essentially diseases of inflammation. It is well established that inflammation is the leading mechanism in the initiation and maintenance of vascular injury and in th…
IntroductionControlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) is essential for artificial reproduction technology (ART). This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a mild starting dosage of r-FSH ovarian stimulation after the modified prolonged Gn…
ObjectiveTo examine temporal trend in maternal mortality/severe morbidity associated with hospitalisation due to ectopic pregnancy.DesignA population-based observational study.Setting and participantsAll women hospitalised for ectopic pregn…
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a major endocrine and metabolic disorder with heterogeneous manifestations and complex etiology. As a leading cause of anovulatory infertility, the molecular diversity of the follicular microe…
Endometriosis is a complex and heterogeneous pre-malignant inflammatory disease harboring multiple gene mutations. Previous studies have suggested that caspase recruitment domain family member (CARD)10 and CARD11 mutations may exist in endo…
Progesterone resistance in the eutopic endometrium (EuE) is suggested to be a critical factor for decreased endometrial receptivity and implantation failure in reproductive-aged women with endometriosis. Altered expression of miRNAs has bee…
Mammalian STE20-like kinase 1 (Mst1) is well recognized as a major tumor suppressor in cancer development, growth, metabolic reprogramming, metastasis, cell death and recurrence. However, the roles of Mst1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSC…
The effect of endometriosis on fecundity is unclear. Although surgery plays a vital role in the treatment of related infertility, pregnancy outcomes after laparoscopy are poorly correlated with the currently used staging system. To address …
Among the variety of treatment options to improve reproductive outcomes for infertile women with adenomyosis (AD), uterine-conserving surgery has shown varying success. Hence, we conducted a systematic review around the topic of fertility-s…
Endometriosis is a potential premalignant disorder. The underlying molecular aberrations, however, are not fully understood. A recent exome sequencing study found that 25% (10/39) of deep infiltrating endometriosis harbored cancer driver ge…
