The need for long-term treatments of chronic diseases has motivated the widespread development of long-acting parenteral formulations (LAPFs) with the aim of improving drug pharmacokinetics and therapeutic efficacy. LAPFs have been proven t…
BACKGROUND: Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) has been reported to play a key role in placental development during normal pregnancy. However, the question of whether endometrial IDO expression affects in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy …
BACKGROUND: We aimed to summarize the available data regarding the levels of leptin and adiponectin and the key modulators of endometriosis compared to the controls. METHODS: The electronic databases such as MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Cochra…
Endometriosis(EM)is a non-cancerous and intractable disease in clinic due to the ambiguity of its etiology and mechanism. Surgical removal of the lesions is more efficient method for EM treatment compared with pharmacological intervention. …
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 …
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies have shown that young women often suffer from primary dysmenorrhea (PD) which is a common cause that affects their routine work and quality of life. Chinese herbal medicine has been widely used for PD in …
BACKGROUND: Histological grade is one of the most important prognostic factors of endometrial carcinoma (EC) and when selecting preoperative treatment methods, conducting accurate preoperative grading is of great significance. PURPOSE: To …
BACKGROUND: Endometrioma is a common manifestation of endometriosis that can be difficult to diagnose with conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) may be more sensitive than conventional MRI in t…
This study aimed to explore common molecular changes in the infertile endometrium from women with and without endometriosis (EM). By analyzing the dataset GSE120103 from Gene Expression Omnibus, a total of 3252 shared differentially express…
BACKGROUND: Thin endometrium negatively impacts the reproductive function. Current treatments for thin endometrium do not always improve endometrial receptivity. Preliminary evidence suggests that electroacupuncture could have potential the…
INTRODUCTION: In recent years, the prevalence of infertility has significantly increased and has become a global reproductive health problem. The female ovarian reserves have been shown to decrease progressively with an increase in age. Bes…
BACKGROUND: Frozen embryo transfer (FET) can greatly improve the pregnancy outcomes for high responder patients. However, it is not known whether the timing of FET is a risk factor on pregnancy outcomes in high responder patients undergoing…
BACKGROUND: Anxiety and depression are the most common psychological causes of distress in infertile women. Our study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of depression and anxiety and investigate the effects of self-esteem on the association o…
OBJECTIVE: To explore whether endometrial thickness (EMT) ≤7.5 mm is associated with singleton low birth weight (LBW) from single fresh blastocyst transfer. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study. Only women ≤ 40 years old who unde…
Acute pancreatitis (AP), an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas, can cause systemic inflammatory responses. Escin Sodium (ES), a natural mixture of triterpene saponins extracted from the dry ripe fruit of Fructus Aesculi or horse chestnut…
AIMS: This study aimed to explore the value of ovarian reserve tests (ORTs) for predicting poor ovary response (POR) and whether an age cutoff could improve this forecasting, so as to facilitate clinical decision-making for women undergoing…
OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic disease. The abnormal proliferation and invasion of ectopic stromal cells (ESCs) are important manifestations of endometriosis, and it is necessary to find safer and more effective t…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to explore related clinical pregnancy outcome factors in intrauterine insemination (IUI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The clinical data of 3984 IUI cycles in 1862 couples experiencing infertility who …
BACKGROUND: Early recurrence is the major cause of poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are deeply involved in HCC prognosis. In this study, we aimed to establish a prognostic lncRNA signature for…
BACKGROUND: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common pathological type of thyroid cancer. The effect of traditional anti-tumor therapy is not ideal for the patients with recurrence, metastasis and radioiodine resistance. The abn…
Predisposition of germline BRCA1/2 mutations (gBRCAMUT ) increases the risk of breast and ovarian cancer in females, but the mutation prevalence and spectrum are highly ethnicity-specific with different recurrent mutations being reported in…
Ovarian serous carcinoma (OSC), as a common malignant tumor, poses a serious threat to women's health in that epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT)-related modulation becomes heavily implicated in the invasion and progression of OSC. …
Aberration in microRNA expression or DNA methylation is a causal factor for polycystic ovarian syndrome. However, the epigenetic interactions between miRNA and DNA methylation remain unexplored in PCOS. We conducted a novel integrated analy…
Endometrial carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies in the female reproductive system. Interleukin-37 (IL-37) is a newly discovered anti-inflammatory factor belonging to the IL-1 family. IL-37 has five different isoforms, and IL-37…
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether women of advanced age (≥35 years) with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have the same cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) as their age-matched controls with tubal factor infertility and to determine the influencin…
