BACKGROUND: The optimal luteinizing hormone (LH) concentration on the day of hCG trigger during long-protocol IVF/ICSI remains uncertain. Although some studies associate profound LH suppression with impaired reproductive outcomes, others re…
BACKGROUND: Oil-based contrast medium in hysterosalpingography has been recommended as an approach to improve fertility in recent years. However, this approach has rarely been applied to patients with unknown recurrent implantation failure …
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does the observed correlation between dyslipidaemia and endometriosis indicate a bidirectional causal association? DESIGN: Bidirectional Mendelian randomization was used to investigate the causal association between lipi…
BACKGROUND: This study investigates the potential impact of high progesterone (P) level on the day following human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) injection on the clinical pregnancy outcomes of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET).…
BACKGROUND: The oil-soluble contrast medium used in hysterosalpingography has been shown to have a fertility-enhancing effect, but the underlying mechanism is unclear, especially regarding the role of window of implantation (WOI). This stud…
AIM: To compare the expression of estrogen receptor α (ERα), Bcl-2 and NF-κB P65 in endometrial polyps from patients with and without endometriosis. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry was used to characterize the expression of ERα, Bcl-2 and NF…
