Clinical application of mesenchymal stem cells for endometrial repair has been hampered by variability in cell quality, large-scale production, and uncertainty regarding the optimal delivery route. In this study, we investigated the therape…
BACKGROUND: Unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (uRPL), defined as the loss of two or more pregnancies without an identified cause, affects approximately 1-2% of women trying to conceive. Emerging evidence suggests that an imbalance in mat…

PURPOSE: This study aimed to combine plasma netrin-1 and clinical parameters to construct a diagnostic model for bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC). METHODS: We analyzed the independent diagnostic value of netrin-1 and th…
OBJECTIVE: (1) To characterize the cytokine expression profiles of endometriosis related infertile women in comparison to fertile women with endometriosis; (2) to investigate the correlation of the cytokine levels from different tissues. M…
Minimal deviation adenocarcinoma (MDA) of uterine cervix is a rare malignant disease with rather poorer prognosis partially due to the early misdiagnosis. Hence, better understanding of early-stage symptoms is critical. We report a case of …
PURPOSE: To evaluate the colposcopic accuracy of the detection of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VaIN) according to the colposcopic terminology for the vagina from the 2011 International Federation of Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy (…
BACKGROUND: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the leading cause of death among preterm infants born at < 30 weeks' gestation. The incidence of NEC is reduced when infants are fed human milk. However, in many neonatal intensive care units (…
Abstract Purpose Until now, it is not clear how much total ovarian tissue can be removed without affecting ovarian functions. Aim to investigate impact of stepwise removed ovarian tissue on endocrine hormone levels reflecting ovarian functi…
Numerous studies have revealed that the status of intestinal microbiota has a marked impact on inflammation, which may progressively aggravate the systemic inflammatory response caused by acute pancreatitis (AP). However, our understanding …
BACKGROUND: Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) are the most common cause of uterine infertility and are caused by endometrium fibrotic regeneration following severe damage to the endometrium. Although current stem cell treatment options using dif…
To compare the clinical outcomes of intrauterine insemination (IUI) with or without ovulation induction (OI), IUI cycles from January 2008 to December 2017 in Zhoushan Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital were included, consisting of 455…
Endometriosis, which affects up to 10% of women of reproductive age, is defined as endometrial-like gland and stroma tissue growths outside the uterine cavity. Despite increasing research efforts, there are no current effective treatment me…
