Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and cycle outcome of Chinese women with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist treatment during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) for in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET).

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted in patients who completed 54 consecutive cycles of IVF-ET with GnRH antagonist treatment for luteinizing hormone (LH) surge prevention. Descriptive statistics were recorded for the patients' age, GnRH treatment duration (days) and dose, timing and duration of GnRH antagonist treatment, serum E2 and LH level on the day of antagonist use and hCG injection, number of oocytes retrieved, and clinical pregnancy rate.

Objective: To compare the clinical outcome of 4 protocols of frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycle to select the optimal endometrial preparation method for frozen-thawed embryos transfer.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of the 4 clinical protocols was conducted including natural cycle, down-regulated hormone replacement treatment (HRT) cycle, hMG cycle and natural cycle+hCG in endometrial preparation for 419 frozen-thawed embryos transfer cycle, and the clinical pregnancy rate, implantation rate, early abortion rate, ectopic pregnancy rate , ongoing pregnancy rate and delivery rate were compared between the 4 protocols.

Results: There was no significant difference between the 4 groups with different clinical protocols in age, duration of infertility, reason of infertility, number of embryo transferred and endometrial thickness.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect and safety of combined use of methotrexate and mifepristone for treatment of ectopic pregnancy.

Methods: By searching in the major databases of CNKI, CBMdisk and Pubmed according to the criteria of evidence-based medicine, we collected data of randomized controlled trials pertaining to combined use of methotrexate and mifepristone in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy.

Results: Twenty-three randomized controlled trials involving totally 1 706 patients were collected according to the inclusion criteria, and meta-analysis of the data indicated that combined use of methotrexate and mifepristone can be of great value in the management of ectopic pregnancy in comparison with exclusive use of methotrexate [ combined odds ratio (OR) was 2.
