A case of hyperreactio luteinalis is presented with measurements of human chorionic gonadotropin, total and free testosterone, and estriol throughout two term pregnancies. Ovulation induction with menotropins resulted in one spontaneous first-trimester abortion, one singleton term pregnancy, and 1 triplet pregnancy that converted to a singleton term pregnancy after spontaneous degeneration of two fetuses in the first trimester. During the first term pregnancy, levels of human chorionic gonadotropin peaked at 34 weeks of gestation (169,000 mIU/ml) and levels of total testosterone peaked at the same time (1777 ng/dl). Free testosterone (16.6 ng/dl) and estriol (10.8 ng/ml) reached their peak at 36 weeks of gestation. During the second term pregnancy, peak values of human chorionic gonadotropin (150,900 mIU/ml) and total testosterone (870 ng/dl) occurred at 10 and 5 weeks of gestation, respectively, before two fetuses of a triplet pregnancy degenerated.

Department of Gynecology, Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Hubei Province, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, 430070, China.
Purpose: The application of narrow-band imaging for missed early miscarriage treatment remains unclear. This study determined the application advantages of NBI combined with hysteroscopic 7Fr cold knife embryo removal for treating missed early miscarriage.
Methods: A retrospective selection of 208 patients who were hospitalized for missed early miscarriage at Hubei Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2023 to June 2023 were included.
The Effects of Three Methods of Luteal Phase Support on Pregnancy Outcomes in Poor Ovarian Responders: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background: The effectiveness of changing the type of luteal phase support in patients with poor ovarian response (POR) remains unclear based on the available evidence. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of various luteal phase support (LPS) methods, including progesterone alone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) alone, and the combination of progesterone with hCG, in these patients.
Materials And Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 375 patients diagnosed with POR based on the Bologna criteria underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (ET) cycles at the Royan Institute between November 2015 and June 2019.
Cystitis glandularis due to Escherichia coli infection in a diabetic Miniature Schnauzer: a case report.

Background: Lower urinary tract disease is a common clinical condition in dogs, usually presenting with dysuria, pollakiuria and haematuria. Diabetes mellitus is a predisposing factor for urinary tract infection in both humans and dogs and does not necessarily present with clinical signs. In this case report, we describe for the first time a case of cystitis glandularis in a dog with diabetes mellitus, associated with Escherichia coli urinary tract infection.

Objective: To investigate the effects of allylestrenol on sex hormone levels and delivery outcomes in women with threatened abortion.
Methods: This retrospective analysis examined clinical data of patients with threatened abortion treated at Huzhou Maternity & Child Health Care Hospital from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2022. A total of 149 eligible patients were screened and divided into two groups: a control group (n=75) treated with progesterone capsules from January to December 2021, and an observation group (n=74) treated with allylestrenol from January to December 2022.
Similar Spatial Expression of Immune-Related Proteins in SARS-CoV-2 Placentitis and Chronic Histiocytic Intervillositis.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in the placenta can lead to fetal distress and demise, characterized by severe trophoblast necrosis, chronic histiocytic intervillositis (CHI), and massive perivillous fibrin deposition. We aimed to uncover spatial immune-related protein changes in SARS-CoV-2 placentitis compared with CHI placentas and uncomplicated pregnancies to gain insight into the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. Placentas were retrospectively collected from cases with SARS-CoV-2 placentitis resulting in fetal distress/demise (n = 9), CHI (n = 9), and uncomplicated term controls (n = 9).
