BackgroundReliable predictive models for predicting excessive and poor ovarian response in controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) is currently lacking. The dynamic (Δ) inhibin B, which refers to increment of inhibin B responding to exogenous …

BACKGROUND: Isolated Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism (IHH) is a rare reproductive disorder caused by the dysfunction of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone axis. Patients with IHH typically fail to enter or develop through puberty and retain i…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between serum 25(OH)D and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) among infertile females and their predictive impacts on in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer pregnancy outcome. METHODS: Totally 756 in…

BACKGROUND: Declining oocyte quality in women with advanced age has been a major impediment to assisted reproductive treatments' (ART) success rate. However, aging is often accompanied by a diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). Cumulus cells (C…

ObjectiveMaternal hypothyroidism before and during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes; many studies have evidenced that controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) triggers a significant increase in t…

OBJECTIVE: To build a prediction model for live birth delivery per intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in iNOA patients by obtaining sperm by microdissection testicular sperm extraction (mTESE). METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of…

BACKGROUND: Diminished/decreased ovarian reserve (DOR) is a disorder of ovarian function, which severely affects women's reproductive health. Accumulating evidence has found that adverse environmental factors can affect ovarian function. Ho…

The present study aimed to investigate the potential effect of fibronectin (FN) in adenomyosis progression. Small guide RNAs were designed to knock down FN expression in Ishikawa cells. The impact of FN on the proliferation, apoptosis, migr…

BACKGROUND: To compare the efficacy and safety of follitropin delta in its individualized fixed-dose regimen with follitropin alfa in a conventional adjustable dosing regimen in Chinese women.  METHODS: This was a subgroup analysis of the r…

BACKGROUND: Whether gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) pretreatment before transferring frozen-thawed embryos (FETs) could improve the clinical outcome of adenomyosis-associated infertile patients with 56 cm3 ≤ uterine volume …

PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop a risk prediction of fertilization disorders during the in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI). METHODS: A retrospective study was performed with 106,728 fresh embryo IVF/ICS…

BACKGROUND: Conceptions following in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) have an increased risk of congenital anomalies. Few studies have explored the prognosis of fetuses with congenital anomalies. This stu…

RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the effect of adenomyosis types on IVF and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) after ultra-long gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist protocol? DESIGN: Patients who underwent the first cycle of IVF-ET with ultra-lo…

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have revealed that women with infertility have a higher risk of thyroid cancer (TC) than fertile women. However, studies on whether a history of thyroid cancer affects clinical outcomes in women who conceive using…

BackgroundMore and more scholars have called for the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) of a complete ovarian stimulation cycle as a key indicator for assisted reproductive technology. This research aims to study the CLBR of the first ovaria…

BACKGROUND: To present the experience with the surgical management of ureteral endometriosis (UE) in our single center. METHODS: To present the experience with the surgical management of ureteral endometriosis (UE) in our single center. A …

Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) is the most prevalent autoimmune endocrine disease, with a higher incidence in women than in men. Immunological abnormalities may lead to the impairment of ovarian folliculogenesis; however, whether the presence…

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a major infectious disease that seriously endangers human health and female reproduction. In our previous study, 10.4% of infertile patients preparing for In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET…

Several studies have reported the association between thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes. However, the findings remain controversial. We performed a large-scale retro…

PURPOSE: We investigated the effect of different surgical procedures and radioactive iodine treatment (RAIT) on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) outcomes and evaluated whether possible risk factors, includi…

Abstract Background: Endometriosis (EM) affects 10% of women in reproductive age and alters fertility. Its management is still debated notably the timing of surgery and ART in infertility. Kallistatin (KS) is an endogenous protein that regu…

An 89-year-old Caucasian female with a recent diagnosis of endometrial adenocarcinoma status post hysterectomy and acute deep vein thrombosis on anticoagulation presented with hematochezia. Colonoscopy revealed sigmoid colon stricture with …

PURPOSE: To establish a mathematical model for assessing the true ovarian reserve based on the predicted probability of poor ovarian response (POR). METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 1523 GnRH-antagonist cycles in 201…
