Recent progress of Bioinspired Hydrogel-based delivery system for endometrial repair.

Endometrial injury is the main fact leading to infertility. Current treatments of endometrial injury present many problems, such as unable to achieve desired effects due to low retention and the inherent potential risk of injury. Besides, it is important to the development of bioinspired material that can mimic the natural tissue and possess native tissue topography.

Efficacy and Safety of the Bushen-Shugan Method in Pregnancy Outcomes in Patients with Recurrent Miscarriage Complicated by Anxiety and Depression: A Prospective Randomized Trial.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of the Bushen-Shugan (BSSG) method on pregnancy outcomes, serum D-dimer (D-D), platelet aggregation rate, homocysteine (Hcy) and antithrombin III (AT-III) in patients with recurrent miscarriage complicated by anxiety and depression.

Methods: From December 2016 to December 2019, 100 patients with recurrent miscarriage combined with anxiety and depression were enrolled in our study, and a prospective randomized trial was carried out. Patients were randomly assigned to either the control group or the BSSG group via the random number table method.

[Retrospective analysis on pregnancy outcomes and fat-related factors of treatment of endomorph PCOS infertility patients by acupuncture of 8 acupoints around umbilicus].

Objective: To assess the therapeutic effect of acupuncture of eight acupoints around the umbilicus in improving the metabolic level and reproductive function in endomorph polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) infertile patients.

Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed on 96 cases of endomorph type PCOS infertility patients who were admitted to the clinic of the Reproductive Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from October 2015 to June 2018. Among them, fifty-six cases of the acupuncture group received treatment with acupuncture stimulation of eight acupoints (Shuifen ［CV9］, Yinjiao ［CV7］, Tianshu ［ST25］, Wailing ［ST26］, Huaroumen ［ST24］, etc.

Efficacy and safety of Ding-Kun-Dan for female infertility patients with predicted poor ovarian response undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) who have a predicted poor ovarian response (POR) present a challenge for reproductive medicine specialists. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is commonly used in China for such patients, in the belief that it will improve the ovarian response and ultimately increase pregnancy rates. However, there is a lack of high-quality evidence about the effect of TCM on improving ovarian response in such patients.
