OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Xiaonang Yusi decoction (XNYSD, ) in patients with phlegm-dampness type polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET), and to investigate its …
PURPOSE: This study aims to compare the live birth rate (LBR) and reproductive outcomes between gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) and progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocols in infertile women of advanced re…
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-…
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…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and dual-trigger (gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist [GnRH-a] and hCG) protocols in terms of cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) and other pregnancy o…
BACKGROUND: Advanced maternal age (AMA) is associated with increased infertility and poor outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF), with limited effective treatments available. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula Qiziyusi decocti…
INTRODUCTION: The relationships between the outcome of frozen-thaw embryo transfer (FET) cycle and endometrial compaction were not quite consistent. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between the outcome of FET cycle and endometrial co…
OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of Guilu Erxian ointment on the outcome of IVF-ET in older patients with poor ovarian response infertility of kidney-qi deficiency type, and to verify and analyze the mechanism of action of traditional Chinese…
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of acupuncture on the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in elderly infertile patients with kidney qi deficiency, and to explore its possible mechanism from the pers…
BACKGROUND: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) in the majority of patients undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is caused by various factors such as maternal age, embryo quality, endometrial receptivity (ER), and…
INTRODUCTION: In clinical practice, the ideal time at which to perform a Frozen-thawed Embryo Transfer (FET) after a failed In-vitro Fertilization-embryo Transfer (IVF-ET) is still unclear to most practicing physicians. In addition, physici…
INTRODUCTION: In recent years, the prevalence of infertility has significantly increased and has become a global reproductive health problem. The female ovarian reserves have been shown to decrease progressively with an increase in age. Bes…
BACKGROUND: Approximately 15% of couples in the reproductive age are affected by infertility. Women with diminished ovarian reserves (DOR) or with a poor ovarian response (POR) are required to undergo in vitro fertilization and embryo trans…
Obesity exerts negative effects on the metabolic homeostasis of cells in various tissues, but how it influences ovum metabolism is not fully understood. Previous studies demonstrate that oocyte genes that regulate oxidative stress, lipid me…
Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is the weakening of ovarian oocyte production and quality. It will further become premature ovarian failure without timely cure. However, disease pathology and diagnostic markers are still incompletely under…
BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex disorder associated with multiple metabolic disturbance, including defective glucose metabolism and insulin resistance. The altered metabolites caused by the related metabolic distur…
AIM OF THE STUDY: Sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment-ion spectra (SWATHTM), a powerful high-resolution mass spectrometric data independent acquisition technique, was used to identify differences that relate certain me…
OBJECTIVE: We reveal the relationship between progesterone level in follicular fluid and oocyte quality based on sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment-ion spectra (SWATH™), a powerful high-resolution mass spectrometric d…
