BACKGROUND: Sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) has emerged as a potential marker of male fertility, but its clinical value in assisted reproductive technology (ART) remains debated. This study aimed to investigate the association between s…

BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the effects of different ovulation trigger strategies on pregnancy outcomes in letrozole-stimulated and modified natural frozen–thawed embryo transfer (L-FET and mNC-FET) cycles. METHODS: A total of 2053 eli…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation of the ovaries. This disorder of the immune microenvironment is closely related to abnormal follicular development and ovulation disorders. This…

PurposeThis study aims to compare the live birth rate (LBR) and reproductive outcomes between gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) and progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocols in infertile women of advanced repr…

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of the Er Zhi Tian Gui Formula (EZTGF) in diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) patients undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET); to examine the pharmacological mechanism of EZTGF in inhibi…

PurposeThis study aimed to compare the efficacy of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and dual-trigger (gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist [GnRH-a] and hCG) protocols in terms of cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) and other pregnancy out…

IN BRIEF: There is no ideal animal model of adenomyosis, which reflects the imperfect understanding of complex human pathogenesis. In this study, we successfully induced adenomyosis in a mouse model via sharp-blunt trauma, which more closel…

ObjectiveThis study aimed to analyze the effect of progesterone (P) levels on the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger day and the progesterone on hCG day-to-basal progesterone (PhCG/Pbasal) ratio on pregnancy outcomes in patients wit…

OBJECTIVE: Zishen Quyu Jiedu formula (ZQYJDF) is a commonly used prescription for endometriosis (EMs) with clinical efficacy. However, its active components and potential mechanisms remain unknown. This study aimed to identify the key targe…

The intercellular adhesion molecule 3 (ICAM3), also known as CD50, is a member of the intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) family. All ICAM proteins are type I transmembrane glycoproteins containing 2-9 immunoglobulin-like C2-type structu…

PurposeThis study was designed to evaluate the effects of dual trigger (GnRH agonist and hCG) compared with hCG trigger alone on oocyte quality, embryo development, and pregnancy outcomes in elderly women (aged≥35 years) who underwent IVF t…

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous gynecological endocrine disorder linked to immunity. Cangfu Daotan Decoction (CFDT), a classic Chinese medicine prescription, is particularly effective in treating PCOS, specific…

BackgroundInfertility is a reproductive health problem that attracts worldwide attention. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a major cause of female infertility and patients with obesity and PCOS are particularly common in clinical practic…

BackgroundFemales with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) have significantly lower cumulative live birth rates (CLBRs) than females with normal ovarian reserve. A subset of young infertile patients, whose ovarian reserve is declining but has …

Abstract Objective This study aims to investigate the expression disparities of Nuclear Receptor Coactivator 4 (NCOA4) in endometriosis (EMS) patients, assessing its diagnostic potential. It also elucidate the correlation between the immu…

BackgroundIn our previous investigation, we revealed a significant increase in the expression of microRNA-6881-3p (miR-6881-3p) in follicular fluid granulosa cells (GCs) from women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) compared to those wit…

BackgroundAt present, there are few studies on whether there is reproductive advantage in advanced polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients, and the existing research results are also controversial. Some research results show that the repr…

Atosiban was commonly added to improve pregnancy outcomes of patients with repeated embryo implantation failure (RIF). In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of atosiban before transferring the frozen-thawed embryo to RIF patient…

IntroductionThe relationships between the outcome of frozen-thaw embryo transfer (FET) cycle and endometrial compaction were not quite consistent.ObjectiveTo analyze the relationship between the outcome of FET cycle and endometrial compacti…

ObjectiveThis retrospective study aimed to explore whether puncturing and aspirating asynchronized large follicles during long GnRH-a protocol COH impacted IVF-ET outcomes.MethodsA total of 180 patients with asynchronized follicles during l…

BackgroundInfertility is a global reproductive-health problem, and diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is one of the common causes of female infertility. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial regulators of numerous physiological and pathol…

BackgroundDespite a large number of studies on the selection of trigger drugs, it remains unclear whether the dual trigger with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist, compared to the trigger wi…

BackgroundPrevious studies have shown that frozen embryo transfer (FET) resulted in increased live birth rates (LBR) and reduced the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) than did fresh embryo transfer in women with polycystic ov…

BackgroundGonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist(GnRH-ant) has been shown to have a negative effect on endometrial receptivity. Therefore, the use of lower doses of GnRH-ant during controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) may improve endomet…
