BACKGROUND: There has been an interest in the relationship between ABO blood groups and infertility. Many studies have investigated the association of ABO blood groups with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome…
BACKGROUND: Window of implantation (WOI) displacement is one of the endometrial origins of embryo implantation failure, especially repeated implantation failure (RIF). An accurate prediction tool for endometrial receptivity (ER) is extraord…
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) induced by estrogen contributes to the development of adenomyosis. However, the exact underlying mechanism remains mostly obscure. We hypothesized that a transmembrane glycoprotein neuropilin 1 (NRP1)…
Uterine peristalsis plays a vital role in fertility and female reproductive health. Although uterine peristalsis is thought to be correlated with some hormones and uterine pathologies, the physiological mechanisms underlying uterine perista…
BACKGROUND: There is much value in identifying non-invasive ways of measuring endometrial receptivity, as it has the potential to improve outcomes following in vitro fertilization (IVF). It has been suggested that endometrial echogenicity o…
OBJECTIVE: Bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation has a therapeutic effect on the thin endometrium in animal researches and clinical trials. The present study aims at assessing whether transplantation of VEGF-transfected BMSCs …
STUDY QUESTION: Is there a relationship between severe teenage acne and endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Endometriosis is positively associated with severe teenage acne. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: No studies have specifically explored a possibl…
STUDY QUESTION: What is the effect of uterine peristalsis on fluid migration after mock embryo transfer? SUMMARY ANSWER: Uterine peristaltic wave frequency was positively correlated with the distance that fluid moved after it was deposited…
STUDY QUESTION: Is there a difference in the characteristics of uterine peristalsis in natural and controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) cycles? SUMMARY ANSWER: COH significantly changed the uterine peristaltic pattern. WHAT IS KNOWN …
OBJECTIVE: To examine the association among malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and incidence of apoptosis of granulosa cells in follicular fluid with the outcome of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). METHODS: W…
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of transvaginal puncture guided by ultrasound combined with gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) in the treatment of endometrial cystoma of ovary. Methods: 58 cases of patients who were clinica…
