Oocyte/embryo defects can result in oocyte maturation arrest, fertilization failure, embryonic arrest, and infertility as well as recurrent in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) failures. However, the genet…

Inflammation plays a crucial role in the progression of Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA). The experiment was designed to investigate anti-inflammatory effects of glycyrrhizin on goats ruminal epithelial cells (GREC) which were induced SARA …

ImportanceImplantation failure remains a critical barrier to in vitro fertilization. Prednisone, as an immune-regulatory agent, is widely used to improve the probability of implantation and pregnancy, although the evidence for efficacy is i…

Endometriosis has been found to be closely related to autophagy. This study aimed to elucidate the possible mechanism of Bushen Wenyang Huayu Decoction (BWHD) in treating endometriosis (EMs) by targeting TLR4/NF-κB-mediated autophagy. Autol…

ObjectiveWe aimed to evaluate the future outcomes of patients undergoing their first IVF (in vitro fertilization) attempt with no oocyte retrieved, no normal zygotes formed, or no embryos available for transfer and to identify factors affec…

Objective: To investigate the effect of progesterone elevation during late follicular phase on early pregnancy outcomes and live births after fresh embryo transfers. Methods: Patients who underwent IVF/ICSI treatment cycles were retrospecti…

Morroniside is the main ingredient of Cornus officinalis and has a variety of biological activities including antioxidative effects. Ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) are responsible for regulating the development and atresia of follicles, whic…

ObjectiveTo retrospectively analyze the association of serum estradiol (E2) levels on human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger day and live birth rates (LBRs) in women undergoing fresh embryo transfer and not exhibiting polycystic ovary s…

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of two treatments on the outcome of freeze-thaw embryo transfer for pregnancy assistance in thin endometrium.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted on 66 patients who failed in the first cycle treated …

BackgroundThere is increasing global concern regarding the health impacts of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are emerging environmental endocrine disruptors. Results from previous epidemiological studies on the a…

BackgroundWith the development of embryo freezing and warming technology, frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) has been widely utilized. However, studies investigating the association between cryopreservation duration and FET outcomes are li…

ObjectiveTo examine the association between body mass index (BMI) and the outcome of in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection embryo transfer- (IVF/ICSI-ET) assisted reproduction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PC…

BackgroundWomen undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) who have a predicted poor ovarian response (POR) present a challenge for reproductive medicine specialists. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) i…

ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to investigate the change in plasma anandamide (AEA) levels throughout the normal menstrual cycle, and to analyze the relationship among AEA, sex steroids and gonadotrophins.Materials and methodsThe p…

Background/aimsWe investigated the role of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the endometrium of unexplained infertility (UI) patients, and effect of anandamide (AEA) on leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF).MethodsPatients were divided into UI…
