Therapeutic efficacy of gentle endometrial curettage on antibiotic-resistant chronic endometritis in infertile women.
Reproductive medicine and biology ·doi:10.1002/rmb2.12525

PurposeTo identify the efficacy of endometrial curettage on antibiotic-resistant chronic endometritis (CE) in infertile women.MethodsOf 1580 women with CE, 87 with antibiotic-resistant CE after two to five cycles of antibiotic treatment wer…

Effects of Periconceptional Multivitamin Supplementation on Folate and Homocysteine Levels Depending on Genetic Variants of Methyltetrahydrofolate Reductase in Infertile Japanese Women.
Nutrients ·doi:10.3390/nu13041381

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) has various polymorphisms, and the effects of periconceptional folic acid supplementation for decreasing neural tube defects (NTDs) risk differ depending on the genotypes. This study analyzed the …

Impact of chronic endometritis on endometrial receptivity analysis results and pregnancy outcomes.
Immunity, inflammation and disease ·doi:10.1002/iid3.354

BackgroundThe aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between chronic endometritis (CE) and a personalized window of implantation (WOI), identified by results of endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA), and pregnancy outcomes follo…

Elevated basal FSH levels, if it is under 15 IU/L, will not reflect poor ART outcomes.
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-007-9195-9

PurposeFor this study, the impact of basal FSH levels on ART outcomes was assessed.MethodsFrom June 2003 to May 2006, 191 ART cycles were performed in our hospital. All cases were treated with GnRH-a long protocol. The patients were classif…

The frequency of ovulation from the affected ovary decreases following laparoscopic cystectomy in infertile women with unilateral endometrioma during a natural cycle
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-008-9229-y

PURPOSE: To evaluate the cystectomy-induced damage on the follicular growth and ovulation of an affected ovary during natural cycles. METHODS: Twenty-eight infertile patients with unilateral ovarian endometriomas who underwent laparoscopic…

The ratio of late-follicular to mid-follicular phase LH concentrations efficiently predicts ART outcomes in women undergoing ART treatment with GnRH-agonist long protocol and stimulation with recombinant FSH.
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-008-9243-0

PurposeTo establish an index to predict ART outcomes and to identify infertile patients who need LH supplementation during ovarian stimulation.MethodsSerum LH concentrations were measured during the mid- and late-follicular phase in 86 norm…

Impact of laparoscopic cystectomy on fecundity of infertility patients with ovarian endometrioma
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research ·doi:10.1111/j.1447-0756.2007.00630.x

AIM: To clarify the effect of laparoscopic cystectomy for ovarian endometrioma in infertility patients, the pregnancy outcome was evaluated. METHODS: This was a retrospective study. From August 2002 to February 2006, 33 infertility patients…

Laparoscopy should be strongly considered for women with unexplained infertility
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research ·doi:10.1111/j.1447-0756.2007.00629.x

AIM: Women with unexplained infertility frequently become pregnant after diagnostic laparoscopy. In this study the effect of laparoscopic surgery on such women was evaluated by the pregnancy rate after laparoscopic surgery. METHODS: A total…

Recombinant-follicle stimulating hormone is more effective than urinary human menopausal gonadotropin in ovarian hyperstimulation for assisted reproductive technology treatment.
Reproductive medicine and biology ·doi:10.1111/j.1447-0578.2007.00161.x

Aim:  The aim of the present study was to establish a standard protocol for ovarian stimulation with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog (GnRH-a) long protocol using recombinant-follicle stimulating hormone (rec-FSH) preparations for assi…

Intraovarian arterial blood flow resistance in oligomenorrheal infertile women.
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-005-9007-z

PurposeIntraovarian arterial blood flows before and after follicular rupture in ovulation induced cycles were examined by transvaginal color flow Doppler imaging. The changes observed in the intraovarian arterial resistance before and after…

Reduction of perifollicular arterial blood flow resistance after hCG administration is a good indicator of the recovery of mature oocytes in ART treatment.
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-006-9087-4

PurposeTo demonstrate our hypothesis that a correlation exists between oocyte maturity and a decrease in intraovarian blood flow resistance in assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment cycles, oocyte maturity and total antioxidant st…
