PurposeTo investigate the effects of cumulus cells removal after 6 h co-incubation of gametes on the fertilization, polyspermy, multinucleation and clinical pregnancy rates in human IVF.MethodsA total of 1,200 IVF-ET cycles undergoing 6 h c…

Endometriosis (EM) is one of the most common diseases which severely affect the health and reproductive function of women of childbearing age. There are fundamental abnormal changes within the eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis…

Psammocarcinoma is a rare form of serous carcinoma of the ovary or peritoneum, and it is characterised by extensive psammoma body formation and invasion of surrounding structures. This report describes the case of a 42-year-old woman who pr…

We recently reported the use of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) Fourier transformation mass spectrometry (FTMS) techniques to identify unique glycan markers in ovarian cancer cell lines which may be biomarkers for diagno…

ObjectiveTo evaluate whether distinct patterns of serum proteins in symptomatic women are of value to predict endometriosis before laparoscopy.DesignProspective exploratory cohort study.SettingTertiary care center.Patient(s)A total of 91 co…

PurposeThis study investigated whether the association between passive smoking exposure and primary dysmenorrhea is modified by two susceptibility genes, cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1)MspI and CYP1A1HincII.MethodsWe recruited 1645 female text…

In this prospective case-control study, we determined the role of surface-enhanced laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry in the detection of histologically proven endometriosis. In the plasma of the group with end…
