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…

PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of storage duration after vitrification of cleavage-stage embryos on pregnancy and perinatal outcomes. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on 4205 infertile patients underwent frozen-thawed embry…

BACKGROUND: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is associated with impaired female fertility; however, its molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Our previous studies found that individuals with DOR have lower levels of microRNA-…

INTRODUCTION: Inflammation has been implicated in both reproduction and sleep; however, the relationships remain unclear, and conclusive evidence for genetic associations is lacking. METHODS: This study utilized the 2013-2020 National Heal…

OBJECTIVE: To 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 inhi…

OBJECTIVE: This 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 w…

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) affect the biological functions of granulosa cells (GCs) through multiple mechanisms, including epigenetic regulation, transcriptional regulation, post-translational modification, and cell signaling. Our previ…

BACKGROUND: Female reproductive disorders (FRDs) are common diseases among women of childbearing age, affecting their reproductive health. Age at first sexual intercourse (AFS) is potentially linked to FRDs, and this study aims to investiga…

BACKGROUND: Infertility 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 pract…

BACKGROUND: In 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 w…

OBJECTIVE: This retrospective study aimed to explore whether puncturing and aspirating asynchronized large follicles during long GnRH-a protocol COH impacted IVF-ET outcomes. METHODS: A total of 180 patients with asynchronized follicles du…

BACKGROUND: Infertility 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 path…

BACKGROUND: Despite 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 …

BACKGROUND: Previous 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 …

Background: Previous 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…

BACKGROUND: This study aimed at determining the predictive value of human chorionic gonadotropin and progesterone levels on pregnancy outcomes in patients receiving in vitro fertilization due to fallopian tube associated infertility. METHO…
