Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease affecting women of childbearing age and closely related to infertility...
OBJECTIVE: To describe clinical intrauterine insemination (IUI) outcomes among infertile patients with different infertility indications, and further compare reproductive outcomes between natural cycle (NC) and ovarian stimulation cycle (OS…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop international expert consensus statements on chronic endometritis (CE) through a comprehensive literature review of existing evidence and a modified Delphi approach. METHODS: Ten panelists of the Japan …
BACKGROUND: Lactate is increasingly recognized not only as a metabolic end product of glycolysis but also as a signaling metabolite that links metabolic reprogramming to epigenetic and transcriptional regulation through protein lactylation.…
For women with diminished ovarian reserve or of advanced age, controlled ovarian stimulation presents a significant challenge during in vitro fertilization cycles. This multi-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial enrolled 318 wome…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of endometrial defects in the pathogenesis of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). DESIGN: Retrospective case-control study. SETTING: Two tertiary centres. POPULATION OR SAMPLE: We included 155 patients with ca…
Endometriosis significantly impacts the physical and mental health of women of reproductive age. While some patients can achieve pregnancy through surgery or in vitro fertilization (IVF), many still struggle with IVF failure due to poor ooc…
Oxidative damage induced granulosa cells (GCs) apoptosis was considered as a significant cause of compromised follicle quality, antioxidants therapy has emerged as a potential method for improving endometriosis pregnancy outcomes. Here, we …
BACKGROUND: Reduced endometrium thickness and receptivity are two important reasons for recurrent implantation failure (RIF). In order to elucidate differences between these two types of endometrial defects in terms of molecular signatures,…
Evaluation of tubal patency is one of the vital steps in the process of female infertility management. Hysterosalpingo-contrast Sonography (HyCoSy) has become the first-line recommendation for evaluating tubal patency. However, there remain…
Endometriosis is defined as a disorder in which the glands and stroma of the endometrium grow and shed periodically outside the uterine cavity. Highly prevalent in women of reproductive age, the most common clinical manifestations are chron…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of postoperative gonadotrophin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) therapy before treatment with intrauterine insemination (IUI) for infertile females with stage I-II endometriosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Ninet…
How LH levels influenced the outcomes of monofollicular IVF cycles using different stimulation protocols was controversial. In this single-center, retrospective study, we analyzed 815 monofollicular IVF cycles between 2016−2022 using natura…
The influence of B vitamins on human fertility and infertility treatments remains elusive. Therefore, this study investigated the association of most B vitamins with IVF-ET outcomes. A total of 216 subjects aged <35 year in their first oocy…
AIM: To explore whether sequential embryo transfer benefits patients with repeated implantation failure (RIF) undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. METHODS: We included 311 patients with a history of RIF in this retrospect…
BACKGROUND: FOXL2 mutations in human cause Blepharophimosis, ptosis, and epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES). While type II BPES solely features eyelid abnormality, type I BPES involves not only eyelid but also ovary, leading to primary ova…
We and others have previously shown that abnormal pelvic environment plays an important role in the unexplained infertility of endometriosis. However, whether iron overload caused by ectopic periodic bleeding found in patients with endometr…
Endometriosis is one of the most common disorders that causes infertility in women. Iron is overloaded in endometriosis peritoneal fluid (PF), with harmful effects on early embryo development. However, the mechanism by which endometriosis p…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the utility of hematologic, inflammatory, and immunologic biomarkers for differentiating between ovarian cancer and endometriosis. METHODS: Data were retrospectively reviewed from women diagnosed with ovarian cancer an…
BACKGROUND: Abdominal ectopic pregnancies are rare category of ectopic pregnancies.We describe a ectopic pregnancy implanted on the surface of diaphragm and highlight the difficult clinical course of an abdominal ectopic pregnancy managed w…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this meta-analysis is to explore the beneficial role of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) on infertile women under artificial reproduction technology treatment. METHOD: Medline, Embase and ISI Web of Scien…
To explore the related factors on the clinical pregnancy outcome in intrauterine insemination, a retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 580 cycles for 301 infertile couples who were treated with intrauterine insemination.…
BACKGROUND: Peritoneal fluid (PF) from patients with endometriosis can inhibit early embryo development via probable functional changes of embryo mitochondria in the early stage of embryo development. The purpose of this study was to determ…
