The Role of Transvaginal Two-Dimensional Ultrasound Combined With Color Doppler in the Evaluation of Ovarian Function and Fertility After Uterine Artery Embolization.

Objective: Our study seeks to assess the value of transvaginal two-dimensional ultrasound combined with color Doppler in evaluating ovarian function and reproductive function after uterine artery embolization (UAE).

Methods: Totally 64 cases with cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) were collected. Their information was recorded, including baseline information, intraoperative and postoperative information, preoperative and postoperative uterine receptivity, and preoperative and postoperative levels of sex hormones in serum.

An overview of potential therapeutic agents to treat COVID-19.

The emerging novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has swept across the world and become a global threat to public health. More than 200 countries and territories worldwide are suffering from this COVID-19 pandemic. Worryingly, no specific vaccines or drugs have been approved for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19.

Clinical application of chromosomal microarray analysis for fetuses with craniofacial malformations.

Background: The potential correlations between chromosomal abnormalities and craniofacial malformations (CFMs) remain a challenge in prenatal diagnosis. This study aimed to evaluate 118 fetuses with CFMs by applying chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and G-banded chromosome analysis.

Results: Of the 118 cases in this study, 39.

[Analysis of PKHD1 gene mutation in a family affected with infantile polycystic kidney disease].

Objective: To analyze PKHD1 gene mutation in a family affected with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD).

Methods: Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral and cord blood samples obtained from the parents and the fetus. Potential mutations were identified using targeted exome sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing.
