ObjectiveThe study aimed to investigate the efficacy of intrauterine instillation of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) on the day of ovulation triggering or oocyte retrieval in infertile women with a thin endometrium.MethodsFift…

ObjectiveTo compare the laboratory outcomes of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and conventional insemination using sibling oocytes in poor prognosis IVF cycles where ICSI is not indicated.MethodsCouples undergoing IVF with following…

OBJECTIVE: Elevated serum progesterone (P) levels on triggering day have been known to affect the pregnancy rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF). This study aimed to identify the possible factors influencing serum P levels on triggering day…

ObjectiveTo investigate fertilization and embryo quality of dysmorphic mature oocytes with specific morphological abnormalities obtained from intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).MethodsThe fertilization rate (FR) and embryo quality were…

OBJECTIVE: To report the various anatomic locations of surgically and pathologically proven endometriosis. METHODS: Pathologic reports (n=1,376) of women who underwent surgeries at a single center between April 2005 and March 2013 were retr…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between the severity of endometriosis and the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and serum level of cancer antigen 125 (CA 125). METHODS: Data were obtained from the medical records of 4…

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the incidence of, and identify risk factors for, spontaneous expulsion of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS). METHODS: Pre-insertion characteristics for 481 women who received the LNG-IUS at a …

ObjectiveTo investigate the association of individual follicular fluid (FF) leptin and adiponectin levels with the quality of the corresponding oocyte and embryo.MethodsWe prospectively enrolled 67 women who underwent controlled ovarian hyp…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the correlation between serum levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and ovarian response to mild stimulation in normoovulatory women and anovulatory women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).MethodsSeventy-four cycle…

ObjectiveThe aim of the present study was to identify variables associated with treatment failure in women with menorrhagia who were treated with thermal balloon ablation (TBA) or levonorgestrel releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS), and …

ObjectiveTo compare the pregnancy-related complications after laparoscopic and laparotomic uterine myomectomy.MethodsA retrospective study of 415 women who received laparoscopic (n = 340) or laparotomic (n = 75) resection of uterine leiomyo…

PURPOSE: To investigate whether preoperative serum anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels are lower in women with ovarian endometrioma and in women with mature cystic teratoma of the ovaries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a tertiary university hos…

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether sperm selection by hyaluronic acid (HA) binding could improve fertilization rate and embryo quality in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. Two hundred nineteen oocytes obtaine…

ObjectiveThis study was performed to assess the prognostic value of serum hCG, progesterone, and inhibin A levels measured at 11 days post-ET for predicting pregnancy outcome in women participating in IVF.MethodsBetween May 2005 and April 2…

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of stimulated intrauterine insemination (IUI) in women with unilateral tubal occlusion.MethodsSuperovulation and IUI was performed during 2003-2010 and the medical records were reviewed retrospectively. Thi…

ObjectiveDuring stimulated IVF cycles, up to 15% of oocytes are recovered as immature. The purpose of this study was to investigate the trend of oocyte maturity in repeated ovarian stimulation for IVF.MethodsOne hundred forty-eight patients…

ObjectiveThere are limited data regarding the significance of elevated serum CA-125 level during IUI cycles, even though it is used widely during the initial evaluation of infertile patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the pro…

PurposeTo investigate the direct relationship between the follicular fluid (FF) level of soluble human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) and fertilizability of the corresponding oocyte as well as the morphological quality of the corresponding emb…

This study was performed to analyze retrospectively outcomes of stimulated in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles where the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist was omitted on ovulation triggering day. A total of 92 consecutive IVF…

ObjectiveTo analyze the influence of postoperative GnRH agonist treatment on disease recurrence after conservative laparoscopic surgery for ovarian endometriomas according to duration of the treatment.DesignRetrospective cohort study.Settin…

PROBLEM: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the polymorphisms of the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNT-alpha) and TNF receptor (TNFR) genes and serum levels of TNF-alpha and its soluble receptor (sTNFR) in Kore…

BACKGROUND: CD163 is a hemoglobin scavenger receptor exclusively expressed in the monocyte-macrophage system and its soluble form (sCD163) has not yet been studied as a serum marker in women with endometriosis. The purpose of this study was…

The aim of present study was to evaluate the relationship between endometriosis and polymorphisms in the endostatin and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) genes, and their levels in serum in a Korean population. Serum endostatin leve…
