BACKGROUND: This study investigates the differences in the cost, time, pre-operative education and patient satisfaction levels of patients requiring a second hysteroscopic surgery using a full-service model of remote preoperative assessment…
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic tubal anastomosis (LTA) is a treatment for women who require reproduction after ligation, and there are no reliable prediction models or clinically useful tools for predicting clinical pregnancy in women who receive…
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether progesterone (P) levels on the trigger day during preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) cycles are associated with embryo quality and pregnancy outcomes in the subsequent first frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer …
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does iron overload in patients with endometriosis affect ovarian function? Can a method be developed to visually reflect this? DESIGN: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) R2* was used to evaluate the correlation between iro…
PURPOSE: Endometriosis (EM) is a common cause of infertility, and an ovarian endometriotic cyst may affect the ovarian reserve, ovulation, and endometrial receptivity. The majority of EM cases are benign; however, EM may also be prone to ma…
This study aims to investigate the feasibility of multi-parametric MRI in distinguishing endometrioma from other ovarian cystic lesions. A total of 50 patients with clinically suspected endometriosis were recruited in the study. Quantitativ…
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess the predictive value of endometrial blood flow branches on pregnancy outcomes after hormone replacement therapy-frozen embryo transfer (HRT-FET). METHODS: This prospective observational study involved…
Endometriosis is a common inflammatory illness in which endometrial tissue grows outside the uterine cavity. Immune dysfunction is now widely acknowledged as the primary cause of endometriosis. The immune cell population represented by neut…
BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence supports that the co-treatment with growth hormone (GH) enhances ovarian response and oocyte quality during controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) in patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). The composit…
Female infertility represents a significant global medical concern, attributable to a spectrum of disorders affecting the reproductive system, which encompasses premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), Asherm…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify the risk factors for subchorionic hematoma (SCH) in the first trimester of in vitro fertilization (IVF) twin pregnancies and investigate the impact of SCH on pregnancy outcomes. STUDY DESIGN: A prosp…
Endometriosis is an aggressive disease. It is the main cause of chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and infertility, affecting the well-being of women. This study aimed to explore the role of U0126 and BAY11-7082 in endometriosis (EMs) treat…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of oocyte thawing cycles in the clinical application of assisted reproductive technology (ART). STUDY DESIGN: The clinical data of 78 cases who underwent oocyte thawing cycles in our center were …
BACKGROUND: Lysyl oxidase-like 2 (LOXL2) belongs to a family of the LOX secretory enzyme, which involves the cross-linkage of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Here, we aimed to analyze the correlation between serum LOXL2 and pelvic adhe…
Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κBp65) and RAS/MEK/ERK signaling cascade and their influence on the proliferation and invasion of endometrial stromal cells. Design:…
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to determine whether infertile couples who are carriers of chromosomal abnormalities have distinct cumulative clinical pregnancy and cumulative live birth rates among patients undergoing assisted reprodu…
Introduction Endometriosis is a reproductive disorder closely associated with hypoxia stress. Increasing evidences have implied the important roles of angiotensin II (ANG II) receptors in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. Thus, we specu…
INTRODUCTION: Women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) have a lower pregnancy rate and higher cancellation rate compared to those without DOR when seeking assisted reproductive technology. However, which factors are associated with repro…
BACKGROUND: To investigate whether the endometrial thickness change ratio from the progesterone administration day to the blastocyst transfer day is associated with pregnancy outcomes in a single frozen-thawed euploid blastocyst transfer cy…
Protocols utilizing gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists have emerged as mainstream procedures for ovarian stimulation; however, GnRH increases the risk for periodic cancellation of embryos. Therefore, this study aimed to compa…
PURPOSE: To evaluate whether young women with idiopathic early ovarian aging, as defined by producing fewer oocytes than expected for a given age over multiple in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, have changes in telomere length and epigene…
Ovarian cancer is a serious threat to women's health; its early diagnosis rate is low and prone to metastasis and recurrence. The current conventional treatment for ovarian cancer is a combination of platinum and paclitaxel chemotherapy bas…
