When exploring the macro trend of declining global fertility rates, a pathological factor often hidden beneath individual suffering cannot be ignored: pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Recurrent inflammation leads to tissue damage, adhesio…

RATIONALE: Hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (HyCoSy) is a commonly used technique for assessing fallopian tube patency. A well-recognized complication of this procedure is venous intravasation (VI), which refers to the unintended entry o…

BACKGROUND: Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) facilitate tracheal intubation and laparoscopic exposure, but residual neuromuscular blockade remains a perioperative concern. We evaluated whether reducing NMBA exposure during total laparo…

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, diagnosis, origin, and prognosis of primary ovarian mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma. Methods: A total of 17 cases of primary ovarian mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma diagnose…

Abstract Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic gynecological disorder that affects 5–10% of women of reproductive age, and Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is one of the most prevalent systemic autoimmune diseases. Despite clinical evidence su…

Uterine endometrial cancer (UEC) is an estrogen-related tumor. Succinate and heme metabolism play important roles in the progression of multiple tumors. However, the relationship between estrogen, succinate, and heme metabolism and related …

INTRODUCTION: Cystic adenomyosis is a rare variant of adenomyosis, with only 90 reported cases found in the literature so far. Diverticulum-like adenomyosis is even more uncommon, with only one documented case to date. CASE PRESENTATION: W…

BACKGROUD: To investigate the effect of Luteinizing hormone (LH) level changes on the outcomes of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) and embryo transfer (ET) in gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) protocol. METHODS:…

Infertility is a major reproductive health issue that affects about 12% of women of reproductive age in the United States. Aneuploidy in eggs accounts for a significant proportion of early miscarriage and in vitro fertilization failure. Rec…

IL-37 is a recently discovered cytokine in the IL-1 family exerting broad protective effects on inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. Immune and non-immune cells produce the IL-37 precursor upon pro-inflammatory stimuli. I…

OBJECTIVE: This research was designed to probe into the clinical significance of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels in early missed abortion. METHODS: Forty-six women with early missed abortions treated in our hospital from October 2018 t…

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 …

An algorithm assessing the methylation levels of 353 informative CpG sites in the human genome permits accurate prediction of the chronologic age of a subject. Interestingly, when there is discrepancy between the predicted age and chronolog…

Objective: To investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics and prognosis of ovarian clear cell borderline tumor. Methods: A total of 12 cases of ovarian clear cell borderline tumors recorded were collected from May 2011 to Dece…

OBJECTIVES: Our purpose was to examine the associations of female genital infections and certain comorbidities with infertility. METHODS: The Taiwan National Health Research Database was searched for women with a new diagnosis of infertili…

Histone modifications of lysine residues have been implicated as having diagnostic and/or prognostic significance in numerous types of cancer. In the present study, the significance of the histone H3 methylation of lysine 4 (H3K4) and lysin…

This work investigated the role of paired box 2 (PAX2) in endometrial cancer and its epigenetic regulation mechanism. Endometrial cancer tissues and cell lines exhibited increased PAX2 expression compared with hyperplasia, normal endometriu…

BACKGROUND: Despite enormous efforts to dissect the role of endometriosis in ovarian cancer development, the difference in prognosis between ovarian cancer patients with or without endometriosis remains elusive. The purpose of this study is…

OBJECTIVE: To exam semen parameters in predicting intrauterine insemination (IUI) outcomes in couples with male factor. STUDY DESIGN: This retrospective study was performed at department of infertility and sexual medicine from September 20…

The ectopic endometrial tissues lining the lumen of the fallopian tubes are currently defined as either "endometrial colonization" or "endometriosis" on the basis of their location within or beyond the isthmic portion of the fallopian tubes…
