Article Synopsis
  • This study examined the occurrence of lymphocele in patients who underwent pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection for gynecologic cancers between March 2013 and May 2016.
  • Out of 116 patients, 42% developed lymphocele, with 12.1% experiencing symptoms, and factors like concurrent PLND and PALND, along with significant blood loss (≥600 mL), were linked to greater risk.
  • The findings showed that lymphocele was more common on the left side of the body and the pelvic area compared to the right side and para-aortic region.

To evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) use longer than 5 years in women with adenomyosis.Data were retrospectively collected from patients who were treated with LNG-IUD longer than 5 years at the Chungnam National University hospital for adenomyosis diagnosed with ultrasonography from January 2006 to November 2013.A total of 131 patients who were diagnosed with adenomyosis had treated with LNG-IUD longer than 5 years.

Background: To compare the efficacy of serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) treatment for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) METHODS:: Two authors independently searched MEDLINE, Embase, Cochran Library, and Web of Science to identify and review articles published from January 1998 until December 2018 according to selection criteria. Outcomes were expressed as mean difference, the pooled odds ratio, or relative risk in a meta-analysis model.

Results: A total of 10 studies were included in this meta-analysis: 6 randomized-controlled studies and 4 observational studies.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of pretreatment with combined oral contraceptives (COC) on outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who underwent assisted reproductive technology for subfertility.

Methods: Two authors independently searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochran Library to identify and review articles published from October 1995 until December 2018 according to selection criteria. Outcomes are expressed as mean difference and odds ratio (OR) in a meta-analysis model.

Aim: To compare the efficacy between dienogest and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) after laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis.

Methods: A total of 285 women were diagnosed as endometriosis by laparoscopy between 2011 and 2015. Patients were grouped into no treatment (n = 83), treatment with dienogest (n =130) and treatment with LNG-IUS (n =72) after laparoscopic surgery.

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of laser-assisted hatching (LAH) and various vitrification times for embryonic development and blastocyst cell numbers.

Methods: First, 2-cell and 8-cell embryos were collected by flushing out the oviducts. In the control groups, they were vitrified for 8 or 10 minutes without LAH.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the analgesic effect of surgical bilateral rectus sheath block (BRSB) and ultrasonography-guidance BRSB in patients undergoing single port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) for ovarian cyst.

Study Design: Seventy-five patients were randomly allocated into three groups: the control and ultrasound (US)-guidance group (n=25, each) received BRSB with 10ml of normal saline or 0.5% ropivacaine bilaterally under US guidance at the end of surgery, respectively; the surgical group (n=25) received BRSB with10ml of 0.

Compartment syndrome is a clinical condition associated with decreased blood circulation that can lead to swelling of tissue in limited space. Several factors including lithotomy position, prolonged surgery, intermittent pneumatic compressor, and reperfusion after treatment of arterial thrombosis may contribute to compartment syndrome. However, compartment syndrome rarely occurs after gynecologic surgery.

Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) is a key transcriptional regulator in the Hippo signaling pathway that plays a critical role in the development and progression of several types of malignancies, including ovarian cancer. Herein, we investigated the expression of YAP1 and its clinical significance in a large population of patients with ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma (OSC), which is the most common form of epithelial ovarian neoplasm, using the TCGA database. Surprisingly, cross-cancer mRNA expression and alterations in YAP1 were higher in OSC than in those of other types of cancers in the TCGA database.

Objective: This study is to evaluate the relationship between the uterine volume and the failure of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) in patients with adenomyosis.

Methods: A total of 171 women with adenomysis were treated with LNG-IUD from November 2009 to December 2011. The amount of menorrhagia, degree of dysmenorrhea, and the uterine volume were compared before and after insertion of LNG-IUD, and the treatment failure of LNG-IUD was observed.

Objective: The goal of this study was to ascertain optimal assisted hatching (AH) method in frozen embryo transfer. We compared the effect of depending on whether mechanical or laser-AH was performed before or after the vitrification of embryo development rate and blastocyst cell numbers.

Methods: In order to induce superovulation, pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin followed by human chorionic gonadotropin were injected into 4- to 5-week-old female mice.

Wnt inhibitory factor-1 (WIF1) is a conserved lipid-binding protein that interrupts Wnt ligands by interacting with their Frizzled receptors. Thus, they may suppress the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin triggered signaling cascade. Recently, we found that WIF1 can effectively co-regulate pro-apoptotic activity through the combination with Dickkopf-1 (DKK1).

Objective: In search of an ideal method of assisted hatching (AH), we compared the effects of conventional micropipette-AH and laser-AH on the blastocyst formation rate (BFR) and blastocyst cell numbers.

Methods: Four- to five-week-old ICR female mice were paired with male mice after superovulation using Pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and hCG. The two-cell embryos were flushed from the oviducts of female mice.

High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) was shown to be strongly implicated in high incidences of metastasis and the poor clinical pathologic conditions found in various human tumors. In this study, we explored the possible mechanism of HMGB1 in tumor metastases in vitro, using a human carcinoma cell system. BTB, as a negative regulator of cell cycle progression, was identified as a HMGB1 interacting partner.

Objective: To evaluate the hysterectomy rates and the risk factors for hysterectomy during the first 2 years of use of a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in perimenopausal women who had complaints of either menorrhagia or dysmenorrhea.

Methods: One hundred ninety-two women over 40 years old were retrospectively analyzed for a 2-year follow-up period. The changes in the amount and duration of bleeding and the pain scores were checked at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months.
