Effects of gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) cessation on trigger day in a GnRH-ant protocol: a meta-analysis.

Background: The gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) protocol is associated with few oocytes retrieved, few mature oocytes and poor endometrial receptivity. Omission of GnRH-ants on trigger day seems unlikely to induce preovulation and may improve outcomes in the GnRH-ant protocol. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the effects of GnRH-ant cessation on trigger day on in vitro fertilisation outcomes following the GnRH-ant protocol.

A smartphone-based fluorescent sensing system for simultaneous visual detection of chromium(Ⅲ) and copper(Ⅱ) ions.

In this work, we developed a highly accurate and sensitive two-emission fluorescence sensor, integrated with a smartphone, for the rapid detection of Cu and Cr in aqueous solution. This sensor comprised AgInS/ZnS quantum dots (AIS/ZnS QDs) and metal-AIEgen frameworks (MAFs). Upon mixing in a specific ratio, the hybrid system can emit a white light when exposed to a UV lamp (365 nm).

Effects of Phloroglucinol on Embryo Transfer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Introduction: Phloroglucinol may be able to improve embryo transfer outcomes. We aimed to systematically evaluate the effects of phloroglucinol on embryo transfer outcomes.

Methods: The databases searched were PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, Web of Science, Wanfang, CQVIP, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and View Article and Find Full Text PDF

AR antagonists develop drug resistance through TOMM20 autophagic degradation-promoted transformation to neuroendocrine prostate cancer.

Background: Prostate cancer(PCa) is the most commonly occurring male cancer in the USA. Abiraterone or Enzalutamide have been approved for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). However, the treatment-emergent neuroendocrine PCa (t-NEPC) may develop, resulting in drug resistance in about 10-17% CRPC patients.

Tea green leafhopper-induced synomone attracts the egg parasitoids, mymarids to suppress the leafhopper.

Background: The tea green leafhopper, Empoasca flavescens is the most important pest of tea plants in China. Mymarid attractants based on herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) from leafhopper feeding and oviposition-induced plant volatiles (OIPVs) were formulated and tested as a novel pest control agent against the leafhopper in tea plantations.

Results: Results showed that two mymarid species, Stethynium empoascae and Schizophragma parvula, had a reducing effect on leafhopper populations.

Pretreatment of Dienogest for Women with Endometriosis in in vitro Fertilization: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Introduction: Dienogest (DNG) was demonstrated to be comparable to gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) in controlling symptoms of endometriosis. GnRH-a is used before in vitro fertilization (IVF) in women with endometriosis to improve pregnancy outcomes. We aimed to determine the effect of DNG pretreatment on IVF outcomes, including number of mature oocytes, rate of clinical pregnancies, and rate of live births in women with endometriosis.

Effects of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist pretreatment on frozen embryo transfer outcomes in artificial cycles: a meta-analysis.

Purpose: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) before artificial cycle (AC) is expected to improve pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). Many studies have explored the impact of GnRHa pretreatment of AC in FET, but the results were inconsistent. This meta-analysis was performed to systematically evaluate the effect of GnRHa pretreatment on AC in FET.

AMH-based ovarian stimulation versus conventional ovarian stimulation for IVF/ICSI: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) used to establish patient profiles and predict ovarian response to stimulation, its role in assisted reproductive technology techniques is crucial.

Purpose: To evaluate the evidence from published RCTs about the efficacy and safety of AMH-based ovarian stimulation versus conventional ovarian stimulation.

Method: Search strategy: electronic databases were searched using the following MeSH terms (Anti-Müllerian hormone OR AMH) AND (IVF OR ICSI) and (tailored OR based).
