Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder in which inflammatory and immune responses play a crucial role in its development and progression. This study aimed to identify potential inflammation-related biomarkers for the diagnosis and…
BACKGROUND: Vitamin D deficiency is a global public health concern, and women of reproductive age represent a particularly vulnerable population. Accurate measurement of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is therefore essential for reliabl…
BACKGROUND: It is ambiguous whether the multiple COS with supraphysiologic hormonal doses impact ovarian reserve functions or pregnancy outcomes. The aim is to explore the effect of multiple COS during ART on ovarian reserve function and cl…
PURPOSE: To reveal the metabolic differences of follicle fluid (FF) and granulosa cell (GC) between younger women and advanced age women in ART cycles, and then find potential therapeutic targets of ovarian aging. METHODS: Forty-five patie…
BACKGROUND: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and recurrent implantation failure (RIF) during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment are still tough problems without effective treatments; thus, they are important research topics. There is cont…
BACKGROUND: This retrospective study aimed to investigate the most suitable endometrial thickness (EMT) on the day of embryo transfer that could reduce ectopic pregnancy rate (EPR) and improve clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) in fresh embryo t…
PURPOSE: To determine the utility of short gamete coincubation in in vitro fertilization (IVF-S) combined with early rescue intracytoplasmic sperm injection (R-ICSI) and split IVF-ICSI in preventing low fertilization based on a retrospectiv…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of the Zishen Yutai Pill compared with placebo on live birth rates among women after fresh embryo transfer cycles. METHODS: We conducted a double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled, randomized trial to…
The present study aimed to assess whether women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) ≥35 years age undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles experienced a higher cumulative live birth rate (CL…
STUDY QUESTION: Does an artificially induced FSH surge at the time of hCG trigger improve IVF/ICSI outcomes? SUMMARY ANSWER: An additional FSH bolus administered at the time of hCG trigger has no effect on clinical pregnancy rate, embryo q…
The present study aimed to investigate the role of miR-30c in endometriosis (EMs) and the underlying mechanism. The expression of miR-30c and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) mRNA in EMs tissues was detected by reverse transcr…
