Depression in Chinese men undergoing different assisted reproductive technique treatments: prevalence and risk factors

Detection of Y Chromosome Microdeletions and Hormonal Profile Analysis of Infertile Men undergoing Assisted Reproductive Technologies

Objective Y chromosome deletions (YCDs) in azoospermia factor (AZF) region are associated with abnormal spermatogenesis and may lead to azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia. Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and testicular sperm extraction (TESE) are commonly required for infertility management of patients carrying YCDs. The aim of this study w...

the relationship between hla-g gene polymorphisms and repeated implantation failure in infertile couples undergoing assisted reproductive technique repeated implantation failure in infertile couples undergoing assisted reproductive technique

hla-g is a tolerogenic molecule that expresses in cytotrophoblast cells and plays an important role in immune response suppression in maternal decidua. interactions between the extracellular domains of the hla-g protein with cell receptors of the immune system are well-known.this  study  investigated  the  association  between  hla-g  gene  polymorphism  with repeated implantation failure (rif)...

Depression in athletes: prevalence and risk factors.

Depression affects an estimated 6.7% of today's adult population in a 12-month period. The prevalence rates for certain age groups, such as young adults and older adults, are higher. There are approximately 400,000 National Collegiate Athletic Association student athletes competing each year and 5 to 7 million high school student athletes involved in competitive interscholastic sports. Given su...

Efficacy of Highly Purified Urinary FSH versus Recombinant FSH in Chinese Women over 37 Years Undergoing Assisted Reproductive Techniques

Incidence and risk factors for infection in oral cancer patients undergoing different treatments protocols

BACKGROUND Over the past decade, advances in cancer treatments have been counterbalanced by a rising number of immunosuppressed patients with a multitude of new risk factors for infection. Hence, the aim of this study was to determine risk factors, infectious pathogens in blood and oral cavity of oral cancer patients undergoing different treatment procedures. METHODS The present prospective c...
