The plasma LH content was studied in 22 patients aged 1 to 16 years, suffering from cryptorchidism and anorchism, by radioimmunoassay. The gonad androgenic function was evaluated according to the plasma testosterone level under conditions of the functional test with chorionic gonadotrophin. Considerable polymorphism in the gonad function change was found: in 45.4% of patients with cryptorchidism LH secretion was elevated, in 31.8% reduced, in 22.7% it did not differ from the age norm. In 56.2% of patients with anorchism, OH secretion was heightened, in 18.8% decreased, in 25 it did not deviate from the age norm. The LH level increase was recorded in prepuberal age and in anorchism it was pronounced to a greater degree. Correlation between LH and gonad function revealed under conditions of the test with chorionic gonadotrophin, was noted in cryptorchidism.

Background: Noninvasive perinatal testing is a new method of screening for aneuploidy called cell-free DNA (cfDNA). Fetal fraction (FF) plays a crucial role in assessing the reliability of aneuploidy detection through noninvasive perinatal testing.
Objective: We aimed to investigate the association between the amount of FF in cfDNA testing and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Introduction: This study explored the effects of four different surgical methods in the treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).
Methods: In this multicenter retrospective analysis of 359 patients, the surgical indices, the time taken for the serum human chorionic gonadotropin level to return to normal, the recovery time of menstruation, and the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions were comparatively analyzed. The clinical efficacies of various preoperative treatment methods to block the blood supply to CSP tissues and those of four different surgical methods to treat CSP, namely, curettage, hysteroscopic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and vaginal surgery, were evaluated in this study.

The current research aims to analyze the shape and structural features of the eggs of the lepidoptera species sp. (Lepidoptera, Nympalidae) and develop design solutions through the implementation of a novel strategy of biomimetic design. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the chorion reveals a medial zone that forms an arachnoid grid resembling a ribbed dome with convex longitudinal ribs and concave transverse ring members.

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.

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.
