Blood tests for prediction of deep endometriosis: A case-control study.

Background: Deep endometriosis (DE) is the most aggressive subtype of endometriosis. The diagnosis may be challenging, and no biomarkers that can discriminate women with DE from those without DE have been developed.

Aim: To evaluate the role of blood hemostatic parameters and inflammatory indices in the prediction of DE.

Management of heterotopic cesarean scar pregnancy with preservation of intrauterine pregnancy: A case report.

Background: Heterotopic cesarean scar pregnancy (HCSP) is very rare and has a high risk of massive uterine bleeding. Preservation of concurrent intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) is one of the great challenges in the management of HCSP. No universal treatment protocol has been established when IUP is desired to be preserved.

Giant exophytic cystic adenomyosis with a levonorgestrel containing intrauterine device out of the uterine cavity after uterine myomectomy: A case report.

Background: A cystic lesion arising from the myometrium of the uterus, termed as cystic adenomyosis, has chocolate-like, thick viscous contents and contains various amounts of endometrial stroma below the glandular epithelium. It is an extremely rare type of adenomyosis.

Case Summary: Herein, we report an unusual case of a giant cystic mass in the pelvic cavity after uterine myomectomy.

Involvement of Cl(-)/HCO3(-) exchanger SLC26A3 and SLC26A6 in preimplantation embryo cleavage.

Bicarbonate (HCO3(-)) is essential for preimplantation embryo development. However, the mechanism underlying the HCO3(-) transport into the embryo remains elusive. In the present study, we examined the possible involvement of Cl(-)/HCO3(-) exchanger in mediating HCO3(-) transport into the embryo.

[Association of menopausal specific fat distribution changes with metabolic risk factors].

Objective: To investigate the association of menopausal specific fat distribution with metabolic risk factors.

Methods: Two hundred Chinese women including 110 premenopausal women aged 39.7±9.

Clinical utility of serum reproductive hormones for the early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy in the first trimester.

Aim: A tubal ectopic pregnancy (EP) in the first trimester remains a major life-threatening complication for the mother. We aim to determine whether serum reproductive hormones may be clinically useful in the early identification of a tubal EP.

Methods: A total of 109 age-matched patients with a serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) concentration <2000 IU/L were enrolled, including 68 patients with a tubal EP, 22 with a viable intrauterine pregnancy (vIUP) and 19 with a non-viable intrauterine pregnancy (nIUP).

[Management of cesarean scar pregnancy by hysteroscopy combined with uterine artery embolism].

Objective: To investigate safety and efficacy of hysteroscopy in treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).

Methods: From Aug. 2003 to Dec.

[Clinical efficacy of Gengxueting and its effect on estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor in patients with hysteromyoma].

Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of Gengxueting (GXT) in treating hysteromyoma and its effects on estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR).

Methods: Sixty-four hysteromyoma patients with surgical indication were equally assigned to the treated group and the control group. Patients in the treated group were treated with GXT one capsule every day for 90 consecutive days before surgical operation, while those in the control group were treated with surgery alone.
