ObjectiveTo compare the neonatal outcomes of progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) and flexible gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocols.MethodsThis was a retrospective propensity score-matched (PSM) cohort study. Wo…

The aim of the study is to compare the outcomes between the insemination methods of conventional in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection in infertile women with thyroid autoimmunity and non-male factor infertility. This …

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) of mild stimulation and conventional stimulation for the low-prognosis population undergoing PPOS protocols.MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort stud…

ObjectivesTo investigate changes in brain-glucose metabolism in anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis, and compare results with MRI and electroencephalography (EEG) findings at different disease stages.MethodsThe clinical …

Abstract Background: Endometriosis is a widespread disease in reproductive age. Epidemiological studies reported that patients with endometriosis had an increased risk of developing endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC). The presen…

BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies reported that patients with endometriosis had an increased risk of developing endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC). The present study aimed to identify shared genes and key pathways that commonl…

HAND2 is a critical mediator of progesterone receptor signaling in endometrium. Silencing of HAND2 expression is associated with female infertility and endometrial cancers. We recently observed that lncRNA HAND2-AS1 and HAND2 are expressed …

OBJECTIVE: To explore a non-routine method of oocyte retrieval in patients with difficulty in obtaining oocytes via the vagina during a cycle of in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)-embryo transfer (ET). MET…

Abstract Objective: The aims of this study were to study the distribution of the serum VD levels among infertile people and to analyze the relationships between VD levels and the basic conditions of infertile patients, as well as laboratory…

BackgroundWith the increasing use of frozen embryo transfer (FET), the best endometrial preparation protocol is continuously being discussed. The hormone replacement therapy (HRT) cycle and letrozole-induced ovulation (L-OI) cycle are avail…

ObjectiveThe present study analyzed the effect of hCG trigger day progesterone (P) levels on the live birth rate (LBR) in the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol.Materials and methodsThis study was a single-center retr…

BackgroundThe normal physiological function of LH requires a certain concentration range, but because of pituitary desensitization, even on the day of HCG, endogenous levels of LH are low in the follicular-phase long protocol. Therefore, ou…

BackgroundThere has been lack of guidance for stratify treatment between cervical endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EC) and ordinary cervical adenocarcinoma (AC), therefore understanding the difference of prognosis between EC and AC is important…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the optimal waiting period for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) after hysteroscopic polypectomy (HSC-P).DesignRetrospective cohort.SettingUniversity-affiliated hospital.PatientsAll patients included in this research …

IntroductionNonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) is a common and severe form of male infertility. Microdissection testicular sperm extraction (microTESE) combined with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an optimal treatment for men with…

PURPOSE: Endometriosis is a chronic disorder of the female reproductive system characterized by debilitating symptoms, particularly endometriosis-related pain (ERP). Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures of symptoms and impacts are requir…

ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors of ectopic pregnancy after in vitro fertilization.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Reproductive Medical Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from Jan…

ObjectiveTo compare the clinical outcomes of dydrogesterone (DYG) and medroxyprogesterone (MPA) in the progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol for patients with poor ovarian response (POR).Patients and methodsThis was a retrosp…

BackgroundThe use of frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles has dramatically risen. The optimal endometrial preparation method for women undergoing FET is of utmost importance to provide the optimal chances of pregnancy. For patients with abno…

ObjectiveTo compare the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) of the progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol with that of the flexible GnRH antagonist protocol in patients with poor prognosis diagnosed per the POSEIDON criteria.Met…

ObjectiveTo explore whether elevated anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels affect the rate of preterm birth (PTB) among PCOS patients with different BMIs.MethodsIn this retrospective cohort study, patients with PCOS who had undergone IVF/ICSI…

ObjectiveTo explore whether endometrial thickness (EMT) ≤7.5 mm is associated with singleton low birth weight (LBW) from single fresh blastocyst transfer.MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study. Only women ≤ 40 years old who underwent …

ObjectiveTo investigate whether patients with a history of recurrent implantation failure (RIF) are associated with adverse perinatal outcomes in singleton live births following frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles.DesignRetrospective…

ObjectiveTo assess whether women of advanced age (≥35 years) with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have the same cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) as their age-matched controls with tubal factor infertility and to determine the influencing …

Purpose: To assess the long-term outcome of performing uterine artery embolization (UAE) using small particles in women with symptomatic adenomyosis (AD). Methods: Twenty-seven consecutive women (median age 42 years, range 29– 53 years) wit…
