BACKGROUND Since China has not yet constructed its own risk assessment model (RAM) for pregnancy-related venous thromboembolism (VTE), more and more hospitals use the RCOG RAM for VTE risk prediction. However, the RCOG RAM was established b…

BACKGROUND Curcumol is a hydrogenated austenitic compound with hemiketal. In this study we evaluated the effects of curcumol on local inflammatory response, cell proliferation, and metastasis in endometriosis, and elucidated the underlying …

BACKGROUND Numerous studies have demonstrated that noncoding RNAs are involved in choriocarcinoma (CC). The competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network plays an important role in the occurrence and development of carcinoma. However, the involv…

BACKGROUND The condition of the zona pellucida can be used to predict human oocyte quality. This study investigated the embryological characteristics and clinical outcomes of oocytes with heterogeneous zona pellucida (HZP) during in vitro f…

BACKGROUND The role of gamma-synuclein (SNCG) has been widely examined in malignant conditions due to its possible role in disease progression, but very little information is available on its theoretical function on endometriosis formation.…

BACKGROUND Previous research has focused on poor outcomes from a lack of insurance, but the effects of different types of insurance for patients with sepsis in the intensive care unit (ICU) have not been well studied. We aimed to investigat…

BACKGROUND Estrogen has an important role in unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA). Polymorphisms of the ESR1 gene and the ESR2 gene have been identified as risk factors for URSA, but with varied associations in Chinese populati…

BACKGROUND This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the follicular output rate (FORT) on the pregnancy outcome of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer…

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 This study evaluated the performance of serum CYFRA 21-1 and placental growth factor (PIGF) as screening markers for endometriosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this prospective study included 81 female patients who underwent laparosc…

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…

BACKGROUND SEMA3B is known as an inhibitor of angiogenesis and cell proliferation. During carcinogenesis, the loss of SEMA3B function is observed, which results in the progression of neoplastic changes. The aim of this study was to evaluate…

BACKGROUND Recently, ClC-3 chloride channel expression has been noted to be high in some tumors. In chondrosarcoma, which is a malignant tumor with a high incidence in the bone, there has been no previous literature regarding ClC-3 chloride…

BACKGROUND The present study aimed to determine serum markers for cervical cancer (CC) and to provide valuable references for clinical diagnosis and treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS Serum samples were collected from age-matched healthy contr…

BACKGROUND Appendiceal neoplasms are rare and generally determined in appendectomy specimens for acute appendicitis. Depending on a tumor's histopathology and size, appendectomy or right hemicolectomy are the surgical treatment options. Ade…

BACKGROUND Refractory abdominal pain during menstruation severely affects patients' quality of life and simultaneously places enormous psychological burdens on patients and their families. Several treatments for secondary dysmenorrhea are a…

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of 2 GnRH agonists - triptorelin acetate and cetrorelix acetate - in assisted reproduction. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 182 females who received in vitro fertilizat…

BACKGROUND This study investigated the quality and quantity of eggs and embryos as well as the clinical pregnancy outcome in young infertile women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) after in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm inj…

BACKGROUND Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH), or secondary hypogonadism, results from reduced secretion of gonadotropins, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), by the pituitary gland, resulting in lack …

BACKGROUND Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder with enigmatic etiopathogenesis and is characterized by tumor-like biological behaviors. Recently, circular RNAs (circRNAs) have attracted considerable attention because they exert v…
