Using preoperative control nutritional status scores as prognostic factors for endometrial cancer.

Background: Previous investigations have reported that controlling nutritional (CONUT) status scores, incorporating total cholesterol (TC) and serum albumin (SA) values, and total lymphocyte (LY) counts, are reliable malignant tumor predictors. However, CONUT scores for predicting endometrial cancer (EC) remain unexplored.

Objective: To evaluate preoperative CONUT scores as prognostic factors for postoperative EC.

Comparison of Laparoscopic Myomectomy with and without Uterine Artery Occlusion in Treatment of Symptomatic Multiple Myomas.

Methods: This was a prospective observational study.

Effects of different vaginal mould use approaches after vaginoplasty with artificial dermis in patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome.

Objective: To assess the therapeutic effects of different vaginal mould use approaches after vaginoplasty in patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome.

Methods: Patients with MRKH syndrome who underwent surgery from 2010 to 2015 in our hospital were retrospectively evaluated. Vaginoplasty was performed with artificial dermis, and vaginal moulds were used for 6 months postoperatively.

Retracted: Pleuromutilin Inhibits Proliferation and Migration of A2780 and Caov-3 Ovarian Carcinoma Cells and Growth of Mouse A2780 Tumor Xenografts by Down-Regulation of pFAK2.

Some cells or groups of cells in figures appear to be visible multiple times. Because the manuscript contains non-credible results this journal is retracting the above publication.

Pregnancy outcomes of Chinese women undergoing IVF with embryonic cryopreservation as compared to natural conception.

Background: To examine differences in the maternal characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of Chinese women with various causes of infertility who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) with embryonic cryopreservation treatment.

Methods: Cases were pregnancies after IVF-ET with embryonic cryopreservation; controls were spontaneously conceived pregnancies. Subgroup analysis was carried out according to etiology of infertility.

Comprehensive Identification of the Human Secretome as Potential Indicators in Treatment Outcome of HPV-Positive and -Negative Cervical Cancer Patients.

Background: The aim of this work was to explore the novel and promising biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of cervical cancer patients.

Methods: The secretome of primary cervical tissues was extracted and then determined by the LC-MS/MS assay. The level of screened targets was confirmed using the RT-PCR and ELISA in cervical cancer tissue samples.

Prospective Evaluation of the Accuracy of A Training Program in Image Recognition by Narrow-Band Imaging Guided Hysteroscopy of Endometrial Neoplasms.

Introduction: Narrow-band imaging (NBI) hysteroscopy by experienced hysteroscopists (EH) is useful for diagnosing endometrial neoplasms.

Objective: We investigated whether the diagnostic reliability of NBI could be improved by specific professional training.

Methods: Three levels of trainees who were Surgeons at our hospital were selected.

Pleuromutilin Inhibits Proliferation and Migration of A2780 and Caov-3 Ovarian Carcinoma Cells and Growth of Mouse A2780 Tumor Xenografts by Down-Regulation of pFAK2.

BACKGROUND Pleuromutilin is a natural tricyclic, derived from the fungus, Pleurotus mutilus. This study aimed to investigate the effects of pleuromutilin on migration and proliferation of A2780 and Caov-3 human ovarian carcinoma cells and the growth of A2780 tumor xenografts in mice and the molecular mechanisms involved. MATERIAL AND METHODS A2780 and Caov-3 human ovarian carcinoma cells were cultured with and without 40, 160, and 200 μM of pleuromutilin.

Clinical analysis of high-intensity focussed ultrasound ablation for abdominal wall endometriosis: a 4-year experience at a specialty gynecological institution.

Objective: To evaluate the long-term clinical effect of high-intensity focussed ultrasound (HIFU) as a non-invasive modality for ablation of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) foci.

Methods: All women who were diagnosed with cutaneous endometriosis and underwent HIFU ablation and 4-year follow-up were included. Patient symptoms, imaging performed, HIFU ablation, recurrence, lesion location, size and number were collected and analyzed.

[Diagnose and treatment of post-cesarean section scar diverticulum by hysteroscopy combined ultrasonography and laparoscopy].

Objective: To investigate the application of hysteroscopy combined ultrasonography and laparoscopy in the diagnose and treatment of post-cesarean section scar diverticulum (PCSD).

Methods: From March 2011 to February 2013, 27 patients with PCSD were diagnosed and treated in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital. All patients were diagnosed by hysteroscopy and ultrasonography.

[Study of ultrastructural features of myocytes in uterine junctional zone].

Objective: To study the ultrastructural features of myocytes in uterine junctional zone (JZ).

Methods: From August 2010 to August 2013, there were 16 pre-menopause patients who suffered from cervical neoplasm to be performed hysterectomy. Samples of JZ and outer myometrium (OM) of hysterectomy specimens were collected.

The impact of preoperative gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist treatment on women with uterine fibroids: a meta-analysis.

Aim: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) treatment before surgery for women with uterine fibroids and to explore potential factors predicting the pooled effect sizes.

Methods: A meta-analysis was performed from published randomized controlled trials using the random effects model. The efficacy of preoperative treatment with GnRHa was investigated according to volume measurements of fibroid tumors, postoperative complications, myoma recurrence, and changes in fertility.

Hysteroscopic and laparoscopic management of uterine defects on previous cesarean delivery scars.

Objective: To examine the treatment of previous cesarean delivery scar defect after cesarean delivery and the feasibility of laparoscopic uterine repair or hysteroscopic scar excision.

Study Design: A retrospective clinical study that took place from June 2009 to March 2013 and included 41 women who had previously had cesarean deliveries.

Results: Seventeen women underwent a laparoscopic approach for the repair of scar diverticula, and 24 women underwent a hysteroscopic resection of fibrotic tissue overhanging underneath the diverticula.

Treatment options to terminate persistent cesarean scar pregnancy.

Aims: Persistent Cesarean scar pregnancy (PCSP) is a rare and special type of Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) which is resistant to conservative treatment. The treatment option is challenging. We report a case series to provide indications for further treatment.

[Analysis on the complications of hysteroscopic surgeries].

Objective: To investigate the causations, management and prevention methods on the complications of hysteroscopic procedures.
