Post-partumhemoperitoneum: Do not miss false aneurysmas a cause of bleeding

Abstract: A 27-year-old woman underwent a first vaginal delivery at our institution. She returned four days after delivery, presenting with abdominal pain and an unexplained drop in her hemoglobin value, without external bleeding. The initial computed tomography abdominal scan revealed an isolated diffuse hemoperitoneum. A laparoscopy did not find the cause of bleeding. A second computed tomog…

Abstract: Aim: To evaluate differences in uteroplacental blood flow and pregnancy outcome in women with idiopathic recurrent spontaneous miscarriage (IRSM) following administration of micronized vaginal progesterone and oral dydrogesterone. Methods: One hundred and thirty-three women (aged 23–40 years) who had had early miscarriages and spontaneous conception participated. Oral dydrogester…

Can maternal serum placental growth factor estimation in early second trimest…

Abstract Aim: To determine whether maternal serum placental growth factor (PlGF) estimation in early second trimester (20–22 weeks of gestation) can predict the occurrence of early onset preeclampsia and/or early onset intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).

Predictive value of second and third trimester fetal renal artery Doppler ind…

Aim: Intermittent assessment of renal artery flow velocity waveforms during the early stages of pregnancymay help in predicting changes in amniotic fluid dynamics. The current study sought to determine the relation of renal artery and umbilical artery flow velocity waveforms with normal pregnancies and pregnancies complicated by either polyhydramnios or oligohydramnios. Material and Methods:…

Ovarian transposition before pelvic irradiation: Indications and functional o…

Aim: To investigate the indications and effectiveness of ovarian transposition before pelvic irradiation. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of patients with malignancies who underwent ovarian transpositionbefore pelvic irradiation. The collected data included age of patient, type and stage of cancer, details of irradiation treatment, and clinical and biochemical parameters of ovaria…

Association of NR3C1/Glucocorticoid Receptor gene SNP with azoospermia in Jap…

Aim: The molecular pathogenesis of non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is unclear.Our aimwas to identify the genetic susceptibility forNOAin Japanese men by using a combination of transcriptome network analysis and SNPgenotyping. Material and Methods: We searched for candidate genes using RNA transcriptome network analysis of 2611 NOA-related genes that we had previously reported.We analyzed …

Simvastatin inhibits oxidative stress via the activation of nuclear factor er…

Aim: Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a key transcriptional regulator against oxidative stress through the induction of antioxidant and cytoprotective genes, such as heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), glutamyl cysteine ligase catalytic (GCLC), and glutamyl cysteine ligase modulatory (GCLM). Nrf2 signaling is disrupted in pre-eclamptic placentas, although increased oxidative stress is…

Role and mechanism of insulin-like growth factor 2 on the proliferation of hu…

Aim: To study the effect and relevant molecular mechanisms of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) on the proliferative activity of first trimester human trophoblasts in vitro. Materials and Methods: Extravillous cytotrophoblasts (EVCTs) were isolated and cultured. Cells were cultured with IGF2 at different concentrations and the proliferative activity was measured using methyl thiazolyl tret…

Efficacy of kidney-tonifying traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions in hy…

Aim: To review and evaluate the efficacy of kidney-tonifying traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions (KT-TCMP) in hypoplastic uterus (HU) treatment. Methods: We searched MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure),WANFANG and VIP databases until 14 December 2013 independently with two investigators. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) involving KT-TCMP as …

Comparative analysis of laparoscopy versus laparotomy in the management of ov…

Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the surgical and obstetric results of laparoscopy versus laparotomy in the management of ovarian cyst during pregnancy. Material and Methods: Sixty-nine eligible patients who met our criteria were randomly divided into the laparoscopy group (n = 33) and the laparotomy group (n = 36). The two groups were compared for their surgical and obstetric…

Fetal cardiac function measured by myocardial performance index of small-for-…

(MPI) in small-for-gestational age (SGA) fetuses during 28–40 weeks of gestation. Material and Methods: Singleton pregnant women during 28–40 weeks of gestation were enrolled. Estimated metal weight was used to classify the subjects into appropriate-for-gestational age (AGA) and SGA groups. The Doppler indices of umbilical and middle cerebral arteries, including amniotic fluid index, were …

Diagnostic value of plasma lysophosphatidic acid levels in ovarian cancer pat…

Aim: We investigated whether plasma levels of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) could serve as a diagnostic indicatorfor assessing disease progression in ovarian cancer (OC) patients. Material and Methods: In this study, we enrolled 98 patients with OC, 70 patients with benign ovarian tumors and 75 healthy controls. Plasma levels of LPA and cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) were measured in all study su…
