Value of intraoperative post-conisation human papillomavirus testing in predicting residual or recurrence after treatment with a loop electrosurgical excision procedure in women with HR-HPV positive and cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of intraoperative human papillomavirus (IOP-HPV) testing for the prediction of postoperative treatment failure in patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) undergoing loop electrosurgical excisional procedure (LEEP).

Methods: A total of 114 women diagnosed with HSIL by biopsy and/or endocervical curettage who underwent LEEP were included in a prospective cohort study. IOP-HPV testing was performed immediately after the procedure.

Prenatal maternal inactivated COVID-19 vaccination: the maternal and neonatal outcomes, a retrospective cohort study.

Despite the widespread adoption of COVID-19 vaccination, a comprehensive understanding of potential vaccine-induced adverse effects, particularly in the context of pregnancy, remains a critical area of investigation. Elevated concerns surround the maternal and neonatal outcomes subsequent to prenatal maternal COVID-19 vaccination. While existing studies have provided insights into the safety profile of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, the extrapolation of these conclusions to inactivated COVID-19 vaccines poses uncertainties.

Dose-response association between 24-hour total movement activity and testosterone deficiency in adult males.

Background And Objectives: Previous studies on the relationship between physical activity and testosterone are limited and controversial. Hence we investigated whether high level of physical activity is associated with a low risk of testosterone deficiency (TD).

Methods: This cross-sectional analysis was conducted in a representative sample of US adult males who participated in the 2011-2014 cycle of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Association between different insulin resistance surrogates and infertility in reproductive-aged females.

Background: Obesity and metabolic syndrome are observed more frequently in infertile women, and insulin resistance (IR) is closely related to them. However, there are no studies that have examined the association between different IR surrogates and female infertility, hence we investigated the potential association between them in the general population.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2013-2018).

Antifouling and Injectable Granular Hydrogel for the Prevention of Postoperative Intrauterine Adhesion.

Postoperative intrauterine adhesion (IUA), caused by endometrial basal layer injury, is one of the main causes of female infertility. The excessive deposition of fibrin as well as fibroblast is considered the root cause of IUA. However, few clinical strategies are effective in preventing extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition at endometrial wounds that include protein and cell deposits.

Investigate the effect of COVID-19 inactivated vaccine on sperm parameters and embryo quality in in vitro fertilization.

Since the reproductive toxicity of COVID-19 vaccines have not been assessed in previous clinical trials, and studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 is associated with a decrease in sperm parameters. Although it has been reported that the mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines do not adversely affect semen parameters, whether this conclusion applies to inactivated vaccines remains unclear. Here, we conducted a study among patients who accepted in vitro fertilization (IVF) at the reproductive centre between June and August of 2021.

The Prognostic Values of the Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein Family in Ovarian Cancer.

Purpose: To assess the expression of insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) family and its prognostic impact in ovarian cancer (OC) patients.

Materials And Methods: The mRNA expression and protein expression of individual IGFBPs in healthy ovarian samples and OC tissues were explored through Oncomine, Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis, and Human Protein Atlas database. Additionally, the prognostic values of the six IGFBP members in patients with OC were evaluated by Kaplan-Meier plotter.

A prospective randomized controlled trial comparing two different treatments of intrauterine adhesions.

Research Question: Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) are primarily caused by trauma to the endometrium, and hysteroscopy is presently the main treatment for IUA. However, high rates of post-operative adhesion re-formation remain a problem. In this study, the combination of an intrauterine device (IUD) with a Foley catheter and the balloon uterine stent were investigated to evaluate their efficacy in preventing adhesion re-formation and the subsequent reproductive outcomes in patients with moderate to severe adhesions.

Three-dimensional structure micelles of heparin-poloxamer improve the therapeutic effect of 17β-estradiol on endometrial regeneration for intrauterine adhesions in a rat model.

Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) frequently occur after infectious or mechanical injury to the endometrium, which may lead to infertility and/or pregnancy complications. There are few effective treatments due to the complex function of endometrium and shortage of native materials. 17β-estradiol (E) is commonly used as an ancillary treatment in IUA patients, but it is limited by its poor solubility in aqueous solutions and low concentrations at the injured sites.

Use of cancer antigen 125, cancer antigen 19-9, and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio to diagnose mature cystic teratoma with torsion.

Objective: To determine the efficacy of serum levels of cancer antigen 125 (CA125) and cancer antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for diagnosis of mature cystic teratoma (MCT) with torsion.

Methods: A retrospective medical record review was conducted of data for women who had undergone surgery for ovarian MCT at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, China, between January 1, 2008, and January 1, 2015. Patients with torsion and a control group who underwent surgery on the same days were identified.

The effects of small litter rearing on ovarian function at puberty and adulthood in the rat.

Rearing rats in small litters lead to obesity and reproductive dysfunction. We investigated the effects of rearing female rats in small litters on various reproductive parameters during puberty and into adulthood, and examined the possible involvement of local ovarian sympathetic nerve activity. The litter size was adjusted on postnatal day one to four pups per dam for the small litters and 12 pups per dam for the normal litters.
