Endometriosis (EM) results in pelvic adhesions and chronic inflammation, which significantly reduce embryo implantation and the clinical pregnancy rates of in vitro fertilization (IVF), affecting 190 million women worldwide. Traditional hor…
OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with impacts on reproduction, health and quality of life, yet its diagnosis is often delayed. Ovarian endometrioma (OMA) is the most common subtype of endometriosis. The establishme…
OBJECTIVE: The relationship between sedentary behavior and infertility remains ambiguous and contentious. This study seeks to elucidate this association by analyzing data from the 2013-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (…
PURPOSE: Sanjie Zhentong Capsule (SZC) is gradually becoming widely used in the treatment of endometriosis (EMs) and has demonstrated an excellent curative effect in the clinic. However, the active components and mechanisms of Sanjie Zhento…
Iron overload and oxidative stress have been reported to contribute to ferroptosis in endometriotic lesions. However, the possible roles of iron overload on macrophages in endometriosis (EMs) remain unknown. Based on recent reports by singl…
This research was aimed to study the application value of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnosis under artificial intelligence algorithms and the effect of nursing intervention on patients with gynecological ovarian endometriosis. 1…
We conducted this retrospective cohort study aiming to compare the different pregnancy outcomes of endometrial preparation regimens on ischemic placental disease in a frozen embryo transfer cycle. The study included a total of 9351 women wh…
BACKGROUND: The predictors for live birth rate (LBR) following one episode of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle for patients using a "freeze-all" strategy are not entirely clear. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study utilizing a predictio…
Introduction: Despite great advances in assisted reproductive technology (ART), recurrent implantation failure (RIF) cannot be effectively avoided. Notably, cellular characteristics and communication that regulate endometrial receptivity an…
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas accompanied by tissue injury and necrosis. It not only affects the pancreas but also triggers a systemic inflammatory response that leads to multiorgan failure or ev…
PURPOSE: To investigate whether progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) can be an alternative as gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) long protocol for infertile women with normal ovarian reserve during IVF/ICSI. METHODS: A …
INTRODUCTION: Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) protocols are typically characterised by an increased number of oocytes retrieved. The oocytes are often of poor quality, leading to lower pre…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does preconception body mass index (BMI) affect neonatal outcomes in women with endometriosis who conceive with IVF? DESIGN: This retrospective study included 7086 women who delivered a singleton live birth through IVF b…
Object: Is it possible to use different progestins cotreatment with human menopausal gonadotrophin (hMG) in women with advanced endometriosis but normal ovulation during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) in vitro fertilization (IVF)…
BACKGROUND: This study investigated the effects of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) on the oocytes and embryos in patients with advanced endometriosis who had a normal ovarian reserve and tubal infertility and received controlled ovarian h…
PURPOSE: In patients who had advanced endometriosis, we use different protocols including GnRH agonist, GnRH antagonist and progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocols to assess live-birth congenital malformations delivered after …
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported the association between embryo quality and perinatal outcomes in fresh cycles, after cleavage-stage or blastocyst embryo transfer, and found no significant difference. However, in terms of vitrifie…
Background: Nowadays, the choice of frozen embryo transfer (FET) regimens is mainly guided by personal convenience. Clinicians prefer the predictability and reliability of artificial cycle (AC) FET and have extended its usage to general in …
PURPOSE: To explore the trends of oocyte and pregnancy outcomes over the ovulation trigger-OPU (oocyte pickup) time interval in four mainly used COH protocols. METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted between January 2013 and July 2…
Background: The ability of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) to predict ovarian response has been studied extensively in gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist and antagonist treatments, but no information is available regarding its value in pro…
BACKGROUND: Abnormal BMI is associated with discouraging IVF outcomes in fresh autologous or oocyte donor cycles, whether or not such a relation also holds true for women undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) remains unknown. In ad…
Background: Endometriosis is one of the most challenging diseases for doctors helping infertile women conceive, which has become a common method to help maternal endometriosis-associated infertility. Women with advanced endometriosis posses…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does the use of a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) improve the ongoing pregnancy rate of vitrified-warmed embryo transfer in women with adenomyosis undergoing IVF? DESIGN: This retrospective study i…
Background: Eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis has functional changes in several aspects, which may largely account for the decrease in the quality of endometrial receptivity. It is of utmost importance to know whether freeze…
Background: To investigate the optimal ovulation trigger-oocyte pickup (OPU) interval of a progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol. Method: Patients with normal ovarian reserve in their first PPOS OPU cycle were enrolled in thi…
