BACKGROUND: It has been reported that the use of glucocorticoids may be able to improve clinical pregnancy rates in patients receiving in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). The purpose of this study was to investigate the ass…
It has been reported that the use of glucocorticoids may be able to improve clinical pregnancy rates in patients receiving in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). The purpose of this study was to investigate the association bet…
CONTEXT: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy complication, particularly in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART). An association of GDM with vitamin D in women conceiving naturally has been described;…
BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence supports that the co-treatment with growth hormone (GH) enhances ovarian response and oocyte quality during controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) in patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). The composit…
RATIONALE: Uterine artery spontaneous rupture is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication during pregnancy and puerperium. The lack of typical symptoms makes it difficult to diagnose, which can result in serious consequences for…
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance and impact of noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) on twin pregnancies. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twin pregnancies after artificial reproductive technology(ART) were tested by…
BACKGROUND: Few studies have described the relationship between the type of infertility and live birth in patients treated with intrauterine insemination (IUI). We focused on this issue and attempted to explore it. METHODS: This retrospect…
INTRODUCTION: HLA-G plays a central role in immune tolerance at the maternal-fetal interface. The HLA-G gene is characterized by low allelic polymorphism and restricted tissue expression compared with classical HLA genes. HLA-G polymorphism…
BACKGROUND: The risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is higher in women undergoing assisted reproductive treatment than in women conceiving spontaneously. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the GDM risk after day-3 embryo t…
PURPOSE: Puerarin (PUR) is a major bioactive ingredient extracted from the root of Pueraria lobata (Willd.) Ohwi, which is known as Gegen in traditional Chinese medicine. Conventional PUR ophthalmic dosage forms such as solutions and suspen…
OBJECTIVES: To assess the changes of blood flow in adenomyosis (AM) after higher-dose oxytocin (OT) in different doses, and to evaluate the safety for patients. METHODS: A total of 124 patients with AM were randomly divided into 4 groups w…
OBJECTIVE: Estrogen is a critical hormone that is mainly produced by the ovary in females. Estrogen deficiency leads to various syndromes and diseases, partly due to gut microbiota alterations. Previous studies have shown that estrogen defi…
Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder that is characterized by endometrial-like tissue being found at extrauterine sites. Aberrant expression and activation of estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) in ectopic endometriu…
STUDY QUESTION: Do differences in blood pressure within the normal range have any impacts on the live birth rate (primary outcome) or biochemical pregnancy rate (beta-hCG positivity), clinical pregnancy rate (heart beating in ultrasound), a…
The human microbiota influences physiology, disease, and metabolic reproduction. The origin of uterine bacteria is controversial. The main assumption is that the germs enter the uterine cavity from the vagina through the cervical canal, blo…
Fibrosis, angiogenesis and chronic inflammation are the inherent characteristics of endometriosis (EMS). The cellular heterogeneity of ectopic and non-ectopic endometrium by single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq)at secretory phase without t…
BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Chaiqin chengqi decoction (CQCQD) has been proven clinically to be an effective treatment for AP fo…
BACKGROUND: Although oocyte quality is the dominant factor determining embryo quality, few studies have been conducted to evaluate embryo quality based on the metabolites related to the oocyte. With quantification of the follicular fluid (F…
Oocyte retrieval is a routine procedure during the application of assisted reproduction technology. However, technical difficulties experienced during oocyte retrieval and the subsequent unsatisfactory number of oocytes obtained are rarely …
BACKGROUND: Some studies have demonstrated that adenomyosis patients can achieve a comparable pregnancy outcome with women with normal uteruses, while there is no unanimous conclusion at present. METHOD: We recruited 65 adenomyosis patient…
BACKGROUND: Progesterone administration before transfer in hormone replacement treatment (HRT) is crucial to pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer (FET), but the optimal progesterone duration is inconsistent. The objective…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a common disease during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation treatment. However, the obstetric and neonatal outcomes of this group of patients are unknown. The aim of this study was to …
BACKGROUND: To perform meta-analysis to investigate the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compound in the treatment of endometriosis (EMS)-induced infertility. METHODS: The databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Libr…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian reserve reflects the quality and quantity of available oocytes and has become an indispensable measure for the better understanding of reproductive potential. Proteomic approaches are especially helpful in discerning dif…
Abstract Objective To assess the changes of blood flow in adenomyosis after higher-dose oxytocin(OT) in different doses,and to evaluate the safety for patients. Methods A total of 124 patients with adenomyosis were randomly divided into …
