BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We compared four imaging methods: transvaginal ultrasound(TVU), magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), saline contrast-enhanced MRI (SCE_MRI) and hysteroscopy combined with transabdominal ultrasound (HSC_TAU) for evaluating c…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a significant contributor to female infertility, with its underlying mechanisms remaining inadequately understood. Animal models serve as essential tools for investigating disease progression and evaluating treatment …
Reduced lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF1) expression in patients with adenomyosis during the mid-secretory phase leads to impaired endometrial receptivity, affecting embryo implantation. This study investigated the molecular mechani…
The reduction in the quantity and quality of oocytes is the major factor affecting fertility in women with advanced age, who tend to experience delayed childbearing and declined fertility rate. However, effective therapeutic strategies to c…
BACKGROUND: The precise pathogenesis of poor endometrial receptivity in recurrent implantation failure (RIF) remains unclear. This study was aimed at exploring the effects of different CD44 isoforms in the mid-secretory phase endometrium on…
INTRODUCTION: Low molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) plays a role in repeated implantation failure (RIF), but outcomes are controversial. LMWH can potentially modulate local immune responses associated with the establishment and maintenance of…
INTRODUCTION: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a challenging problem of assisted reproductive technology that arises mainly due to inadequate endometrial receptivity and its pathogenesis is still unclear. OBJECTIVES: In this study, …
BACKGROUND: The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol for in vitro fertilization (IVF) often leads to lower pregnancy rates compared to the GnRH agonist protocol. Decreased endometrial receptivity is one reason for the l…
STUDY QUESTION: Is allograft inflammatory factor-1 (AIF-1), a cytokine associated with inflammation and allograft rejection, aberrantly elevated in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist pr…
