BACKGROUND: The normal physiological function of LH requires a certain concentration range, but because of pituitary desensitization, even on the day of HCG, endogenous levels of LH are low in the follicular-phase long protocol. Therefore, …

The causal relationship between cancer and Schizophrenia (SCZ) remains controversial. Some researchers have found that SCZ is a cancer-preventive factor in cohort studies or meta-analyses, whereas others have found the opposite. To understa…

To examine miR-148a expression in the serum of patients with endometriosis (EMS), and to further explore the target of miR-148a in HS832.Tc cells and the effect of miR-148a on the proliferation of Hs832.Tc cells. The serum of non-EMS patien…

BACKGROUND: Whether MTHFR C677T genotype affects pregnancy outcomes following assisted reproductive technology is conflicting. And the role of MTHFR C677T genotype on cumulative live birth has not been reported. This study aims to investiga…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the optimal waiting period for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) after hysteroscopic polypectomy (HSC-P). DESIGN: Retrospective cohort. SETTING: University-affiliated hospital. PATIENTS: All patients included in …

OBJECTIVE: Chronic endometritis (CE) contributes to impaired endometrial receptivity and is closely associated with poor in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. However, the mechanisms underlying CE are unclear. Here, we investigated the rol…

We investigated the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in the female partner of infertile couples and the reproductive outcomes after in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET). We …

Background: Many women with endometriosis experience chronic abdominal pain. Clinical guidelines recommend treatment with analgesics, contraceptive hormones, gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs, and surgery. Treatment patterns in women w…

Nanoparticle (NP) is an emerging tool applied in the biomedical field. With combination of different materials and adjustment of their physical and chemical properties, nanoparticles can have diverse effects on the organism and may change t…

RATIONALE: Multicystic Mesothelioma (MM) is very rare and preoperative diagnosis is difficult. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report a case of a 34-year-old man with solid abdominal cystic echo mass. Physical examination showed that the patient had …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the usefulness of Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of Polypoid lesions of gallbladder (PLGs) ≥ 1 cm. METHODS: A prospective analysis was performed on 180 patients with …

INTRODUCTION: In clinical practice, the ideal time at which to perform a Frozen-thawed Embryo Transfer (FET) after a failed In-vitro Fertilization-embryo Transfer (IVF-ET) is still unclear to most practicing physicians. In addition, physici…

ObjectiveOur purpose is to explain the onset, diagnosis, and treatment of pancreatic tumor-associated pancreatitis (PTP), and inform clinicians about the management of PTP. It is hoped that clinicians can gain some experience and inspiratio…

Objective: To evaluate the effect of dyslipidemia on the cumulative live-birth rate (cLBR) in patients without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET)…

Epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies with a high mortality rate. Serum biomarkers and imaging approaches are insufficient in identifying EOC patients at an early stage. This study is to set u…

The diagnosis of endometriosis is typically delayed by years for the unexclusive symptom and the traumatic diagnostic method. Several studies have demonstrated that gut microbiota and cervical mucus potentially can be used as auxiliary diag…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the rates of negative test results for chronic endometritis (CE) between subjects who did and did not receive antibiotic treatment. DESIGN: Prospective, single-blind randomized controlled trial. SETTING: Tertiary hys…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the value of routine preoperative gastroscopy/colonoscopy in patients with suspected ovarian cancer for differential diagnosis and judgment of bowel resection. METHODS: All women diagnosed with suspected ovarian canc…

Although keratin 15 (KRT15) has been indicated to be overexpressed in several types of tumor, its role in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA) has so far remained elusive. The aim of the present study was to explore KRT15 expression in BRCA bas…

Patrinia scabiosaefolia is a medical and edible Chinese herb with high nutritional and medicinal value. The continuing study of its chemical constituents led to the discovery of nine unique iridoids and iridoid glycosides, including three n…

Gynecological malignancies are tumors of the female reproductive system, mainly cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer. Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecological malignant tumor in developed countries. The ai…

BackgroundMultiple organ failure (MOF) may lead to an increased mortality rate of moderately severe (MSAP) or severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). This study is aimed to use machine learning to predict the risk of MOF in the course of disease.M…

BACKGROUND: Our study aimed to investigate if serum prolactin (PRL) levels associated with insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction in infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS: This was a retrospective cross-se…

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 …

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis (AM) is a common benign chronic gynaecological disorder; however, the precise pathogenesis of adenomyosis is still poorly understood. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) can uncover rare subpopulations, explore ge…
