Abstract Persistent supraphysiological serum estradiol (E2) levels during controlled ovarian hyper-stimulation (COH) have a detrimental effect on endometrial receptivity. In this study, we explored RNA expression and DNA methylation profile…
INTRODUCTION: Age, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), low body mass index (BMI), high antral follicle count (AFC), increased anti-Muller hormone (AMH) levels, and elevated serum estradiol (E2) concentrations are risk factors for ovarian hype…
Recently, the roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were identified in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In the present study, we investigated the role of the lncRNA PVT1/miR-17-5p/PTEN axis in PCOS ovarian granulos…
BACKGROUND: When ovarian response to FSH stimulation for IVF/ICSI is unsatisfactory, the FSH dose is often adjusted in the treatment cycles, thereby assuming that hormone status and follicular development were insufficient for optimal stimu…
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients have a better ovarian reserve and age-related improvement in endocrine disturbances than non-PCOS patients. The effects of age on in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment outcomes associat…
BACKGROUND Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that the extract of Cynanchum paniculatum (bunge) kitag and the fukeqianjin formulation have beneficial effects in pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). This study aimed to compare the eff…
BACKGROUND: The role of γδ T cells, innate-like lymphocytes with unrestrained MHC, in various malignancies has recently been extensively studied. However, there is limited research regarding γδ T cells in ovarian cancer (OC) patients. METH…
BACKGROUND Patients with endometriosis (EMs) are routinely advised to take GnRH-a for 3-6 months to improve the internal reproductive environment, but this may not be necessary. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study examined the eff…
OBJECTIVE: To assess three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound combined with power Doppler (PD) for the differential diagnosis of endometrial lesions among infertile women. METHODS: A prospective study carried out at a reproductive medicine center…
Clinical studies have exhibited microRNAs or cytokines could be used as new biomarkers in the diagnosis of endometriosis, respectively. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of serum miR-17, IL-4, and IL-6 as early diagnosti…
We observed the effect of body mass index (BMI) on pregnancy outcomes in Chinese patients undergoing assisted reproductive treatment (ART). All the patients were divided into polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) group and non-PCOS group, and th…
OBJECT: Reproductive system related autoantibodies have been proposed to be associated with natural infertility. However, large scale systematic analysis of these of antibodies has not been conducted. The aim of this study is to analyze the…
Inflammation has been implicated in the initiation and progression of ovarian cancer (OC), the underlying mechanisms of which are still unclear. We hypothesized that the abnormal expression of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), which were potentia…
PURPOSE: To evaluate basal testosterone (T) levels in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles and examine the association between basal T levels and ovarian response or IVF pregnancy outcome. METHODS: We retrospectively analyz…
PURPOSE: To explore the effect of group culture on the developmental potential of discarded embryos in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycles and establish the human embryonic stem cell lines for future re…
Telomeres mediate biologic aging in organisms as diverse as plants, yeast, and mammals. We propose a telomere theory of reproductive aging that posits telomere shortening in the female germ line as the primary driver of reproductive aging i…
Objective To investigate the clinical effect and sides effects of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine(Mirena) in the treatment of adenomyosis.Methods Fifty-three cases of adenomyosis treated with levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine syst…
Objective To explore the influence of Dan'e-Fukang soft extract on anxiety and depression of edometriosis patients.Methods 83 patients with endometriosis were randomly divided into a treatment group,treated with Dan'e-Fukang soft extract an…
OBJECTIVE: To identify the differential expressed proteins, and to investigate the relationship between altered expression of annexin A4 during window of implantation [WOI (at day-6 after ovulatory day)] in infertile patients with endometri…
Objective To study the clinical value of ultrasound elastography in evaluating the ablated zone and morphology of uterine leiomyoma and adenomyosis treated with percutaneous microwave ablation treatment(PMAT) under ultrasound guidance.Metho…
OBJECTIVE: To study the prognosis of fibroid after ultrasound-guidance percutaneous microwave ablation (PMAUF). METHODS: From Mar. 2007 to Jul.2010 forty uterine fibroids in forty patients with symptoms which were diagnosed in our hospital…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of percutaneous microwave ablation in the treatment of diffuse adenomyosis. METHODS: With a mean age of 39.2 years old, 16 patients with symptomatic adenomyosis underwent percutaneous microwave ablation…
Objective:To discuss the values by cleaning abdominal wall and standard use of absorbable suture in the uterus surgery. Methods:3 000 cases of patients(observation group) with cesarean section and myomectomy from November 2005 to December 2…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the magnetic resonance (MR) characteristics of endometriosis. METHODS: The clinical and MR data of 33 patients with endometriosis were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: MR manifestations of endometriosis included en…
Objective To evaluate the efficiency and safety of mifepristone and gestrinone in subsidiary treat- ment after endometriosis surgery.Methods Totally 151 patients diagnosed as endometriosis with conservative surgery treatment or laparoscopic…
