RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the novel pathogenic variants leading to endometriosis? DESIGN: A Chinese family, in which three female offspring were diagnosed with ovarian endometriosis by pathological biopsy and the mother had ovarian cysts…
BACKGROUND: Due to various iatrogenic and social factors, the global caesarean delivery (CD) rate has risen sharply in the past 30 years. It is more complicated and dangerous for women with a scarred uterus to experience pregnancy again tha…
BACKGROUND: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is used as a biomarker to estimate ovarian reserve. The relationship between AMH and early miscarriage of in vitro fertilization (IVF) is still inconclusive. This study aimed to explore whether serum…
Adenomyosis is a benign uterine disease. Due to the higher incidence of adenomyosis and patients' demands for fertility, high-intensity ultrasound ablation has been widely used in gynecological patients with uterine fibroids and adenomyosis…
OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to investigate the effect of age on the outcome of IVF-ET and ICSI in infertile PCOS patients under the guidance of Tiangui theory in traditional Chinese medicine. METHOD: This was a retrospective analysis of 532 inf…
BACKGROUND: The gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) has been used in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycles for a long time. This paper evaluates the efficacy and safety of two commonly used pr…
BACKGROUND: Caesarean section rates are rising worldwide. One adverse effect of caesarean section reported in some studies is an increased risk of subfertility. Only a few studies have assessed the relationship between the previous mode of …
The aim of the current study was to develop an accurate and reproducible method for isolation of granulosa cells (GCs) in patients with different ovarian reserves. The cells of healthy individuals and patients with polycystic ovary syndrome…
Ovarian carcinoma (OV) is a lethal gynecological malignancy. Most OV patients develop resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy and recurrence. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are the ligand activating transcription fact…
Ovarian cancer is one of the most aggressive and highly lethal gynecological cancers. The purpose of our study is to build a free prognostic web server to help researchers discover potential prognostic biomarkers by integrating gene express…
Biomechanics is a physical phenomenon which mainly related with deformation and movement of life forms. As a mechanical signal, it participates in the growth and development of many tissues and organs, including ovary. Mechanical signals no…
Vaginal microbiota dysbiosis, characterized by the loss of Lactobacillus dominance and increase of microbial diversity, is closely related to gynecological diseases; thus, intervention on microbiota composition is significant and promising …
Female infertility is a state of fertility disorder caused by multiple reasons. The incidence of infertility for females has significantly increased due to various factors such as social pressure, late marriage, and late childbirth, and its…
It has been confirmed by growing evidence that common hormone replacement therapy is associated with an increasing risk of causing cardiovascular disease and cancer, while complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is gaining popularity a…
PURPOSE: To establish a mathematical model for assessing the true ovarian reserve based on the predicted probability of poor ovarian response (POR). METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 1523 GnRH-antagonist cycles in 201…
Herbal medicines have accumulated valuable clinical experience in thousands of years of applications in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) or ethnomedicine. The unique multi-target efficacy on complex diseases made herbal medicines gained a…
AIMS: To identify the common and specific molecular mechanisms of three well-defined subtypes of endometriosis (EMs): ovarian endometriosis (OE), peritoneal endometriosis (PE), and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). METHODS: Four micro…
Objectives: Explore the diagnostic and prognostic value of cyclooxygenase-2 and wnt3a/β-catenin pathway in endometrial cancer. Methods: A prospective cohort study of 93 women underwent hysterectomy at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital (61…
Aquaporin 2 (AQP2), AQP5 and AQP8 participate in adenomyosis (AM). Ηowever, the roles of these three molecules in AM have not been fully elucidated. In the present study, Institute of Cancer Research female mice were used to establish a mod…
In last few years, therapeutic peptides/proteins are rapidly growing in drug market considering their higher efficiency and lower toxicity than chemical drugs. However, the administration of therapeutic peptides/proteins is mainly limited i…
This retrospective cohort study aimed to analyse the risk of congenital anomalies (CAs) in infants conceived by infertile women through assisted reproductive technology (ART). A total of 9,013 clinical pregnancy cycles resulting in 9,101 li…
Recently, ultrasonic imaging of soft tissue mechanics has been increasingly studied to image otherwise undetectable pathologies. However, many underlying mechanisms of tissue stiffening remain unknown, requiring small animal studies and ada…
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an innovative advance in the treatment of early gastrointestinal (GI) cancer without lymph node metastases and precancerous lesions as it is an effective and safe therapeutic method. ESD has also be…
Seventy patients with stage III or IV endometriosis were randomly assigned to 2 groups after conservative surgery. Group O (n = 35) received 3 cycles of a 28-day gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) treatment (goserelin, 3.6 mg) …
