OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of endometrial thickness (EMT) variations on clinical outcomes in two distinct ovarian stimulation protocols: the early-follicular long-acting GnRH agonist protocol and the midluteal short-acting GnRH agoni…
BACKGROUND: Second-trimester abortion is a critical issue in infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) treated with assisted reproductive technology (ART), cervical incompetence (CI) may play a role. Although previous studies ha…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Is it possible to predict blastocyst quality, embryo chromosomal ploidy, and clinical pregnancy outcome after single embryo transfer from embryo developmental morphokinetic parameters? DESIGN: The morphokinetic parameter…
Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is the most incurable form of male infertility with a complex etiology. Long non-cording RNAs (lncRNAs) were associated with regulating spermatogenesis. Herein, differentially expressed lncRNAs between NOA …
INTRODUCTION: Studies on the effect of vaccine type and two other vaccines other than inactivated vaccines approved in China on in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy outcomes are rare. To complement and confirm the existing findings, this …
BACKGROUND: Follicular development in mammalian ovaries is a complex and dynamic process, and the interactions and regulatory-feedback loop between the follicular microenvironment, granulosa cells (GCs), and oocytes can affect follicular de…
BACKGROUND: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) has tremendous advantages for resolving the problem of male infertility. However, ICSI fertilization can fail in some patients because of various reasons, primarily because of the failure …
A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 1 (ADAMTS1) is an extracellular matrix metalloproteinase that plays an important role in the process of ovulation. According to previous studies, the expression level of ADAMTS1…
BACKGROUND: The blastocyst morphology provided valuable roles for predicting pregnancy and live birth, but was still not fully understood for evaluating miscarriage. The aim of this study was to explore the association between blastocyst mo…
Our previous studies have shown that microRNA-320 (miR-320) is one of the most down-regulated microRNAs (miRNA) in mouse ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) after TGF-β1 treatment. However, the underlying mechanisms of miR-320 involved in GC func…
