BACKGROUND: Recent studies have consistently shown that AFC and serum AMH are good predictors of ovarian response and have shown strong correlations. However, it is not unusual for reproductive medicine specialists to encounter discordance …

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between baseline serum Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels and IVF/ICSI outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).DesignRetrospective study.SettingReproductive medicine center in a hospi…

PURPOSE: Nucleolin (NCL) is a multifunctional protein with oncogenic properties. NCL expression levels have been linked to the outcomes of various malignancies, but the clinical value of NCL in patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC) remai…

BACKGROUND: To explore the prognostic role of ovarian endometriosis in symptomatic adenomyosis patients underwent uterine artery embolization (UAE). METHODS: This was a retrospective, single-center study. A total of 76 patients with adenom…

Embryo implantation rate remains an inefficient process in in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycles. The role long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays in embryo implantation remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the expressio…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of gonadotropin dose and endometrial thickness (EMT) on pregnancy outcome in patients undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed data …

BackgroundThe study aimed to investigate whether and how general and partial time intervals between processes, from human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) trigger to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), affected the laboratory and reproduc…

BACKGROUND: Adverse obstetric outcomes are correlated with altered circulating hormone levels at the time implantation by the trophectoderm. What' more, embryo freezing process may also have adverse effect on perinatal outcomes. This study …

Asherman's syndrome (AS) is an endometrial disorder in which intrauterine adhesions crowd the uterine cavity and wall. The fibrotic adhesions are primarily the result of invasive uterine procedures that usually involve the insertion of surg…

AIM: Microvessel density is a marker of tumor angiogenesis activity for development and metastasis. Our preliminary study showed that ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) induces apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in vitro. The aim of this study …

Stem cell therapies have made strides toward the efficacious treatment of injured endometrium and the prevention of intrauterine adhesions, or Asherman's syndrome (AS). Despite this progress, they are limited by their risk of tumor formatio…

Melatonin (N‑acetyl‑5‑methoxytryptamine; MT) has been shown to have a protective effect against sepsis‑induced renal injury, however, the mechanisms underlying the function of MT remain to be elucidated. Therefore, in the present study, the…

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between uterine size and volume and clinical pregnancy rate.This longitudinal study was conducted among patients undergoing assisted reproduction technology (ART) treatment at the R…

BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), a member of the zinc-dependent metalloproteinase gene family, plays a vital role in cancer invasion, metastasis, and progression. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to explore the c…

The following fictional case is intended as a learning tool within the Pathology Competencies for Medical Education (PCME), a set of national standards for teaching pathology. These are divided into three basic competencies: Disease Mechani…

The aim of this study was to describe the size and the shape of gravida-0 uteri in infertile Chinese Han women according to age, height, and body mass index (BMI).Registered data obtained from the Department of Reproductive Medicine, Xiangy…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a benign chronic gynecological disease that affects women of reproductive age, characterized by the presence of functional endometrial tissues outside the uterine cavity. GnRH agonists exhibit anti-proliferative…

OBJECTIVE: To establish a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS)-based metabolomics method to compare the metabolites in the follicular fluid (FF) from patients with in vitro fertilization (IVF) and repeated IVF failure (RIF). METHOD…

OBJECTIVE: To construct a latent human soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor I (hsTNFRI) using the latency associated protein (LAP) of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) fused via a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) cleavage site to…

Genetic screens are powerful methods for the discovery of gene-phenotype associations. However, a systems biology approach to genetics must leverage the massive amount of "omics" data to enhance the power and speed of functional gene discov…
