Objective: Currently, whether Hashimoto's thyroiditis decreases ovarian reserve is not clearly known, given the conflicting findings from previous studies. This study was conducted to systematically review and summarize the association of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) with ovarian reserve.

Methods: Studies investigating ovarian reserve in women with HT and the incidence of HT in women with premature ovarian aging (POA) were searched in major electronic databases. Pre-specified subgroup analyses were performed in terms of agedistribution and thyroidfunction.

Result (s): A total of 935 studies were retrieved from which 30 were included in the meta-analysis and 5 were finallyselectedfor detailed review. Overall, no statistically significant difference in ovarian reserve parameters (AMH, AFC, FSH, E2) between females with HT and the controls. In subgroup meta-analyses, reproductive aged women with HT had a statistically significant reduction in AMH (SMD -0.35; 95% CI: -0.51, -0.19; P<0.0001; I = 52%), AFC (MD -0.43; 95% CI: -0.56, -0.30; P<0.00001; I = 62%), and increase in basal FSH (SMD 0.1; 95% CI: 0.01, 0.19; I = 19%; P = 0.04) compared with age matched controls. Furthermore, POA inreproductive aged women wasassociatedwith higher frequency ofpositiveTPOAb (OR 2.26, 95% CI: 1.31-3.92, p = 0.004) but not positive TgAb(OR 3.17, 95% CI: 0.89-11.38, p = 0.08).

Conclusion(s): These bidirectional associations suggested that reproductive aged women with HT have a significantly higher risk of diminished ovarian reserve.

Background: Proper planning of reproductive health needs for HIV-infected adolescents requires a clear understanding of the effects of HIV infection on adolescents' pubertal development.

Objective: To assess the effects of HIV infection on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, ovarian reserve and pubertal development in adolescent girls at a tertiary hospital in Zimbabwe.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey of HIV-infected adolescent girls aged 10-19 years, with available CD4 + count results at a tertiary hospital in Zimbabwe.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of hysterectomy for benign uterine tumors on subsequent ovarian reserve, sexual function, and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

Methods: The present study was a prospective longitudinal analysis that recruited patients aged 35-45 years who underwent simple hysterectomy without oophorectomy for symptomatic benign uterine tumors. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and serum sex hormone profiles, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, progesterone, and total testosterone, were measured at four timepoints: before hysterectomy, and 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively.

ENDOCRINOLOGICAL AND GYNECOLOGICAL PARAMETERS IN ASSESSING INFERTILITY AT REPRODUCTIVE AGE.

Acta Endocrinol (Buchar)

January 2025

Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Unit, Iasi, Romania.

Introduction: Infertility is a very discussed problem in many endocrinological and gynecological courses and congresses. In a rapidly revolving environment women tend to postpone pregnancy to have security in their financial life and career.We discuss primary and secondary infertility and the hormonal results in women that presented for a desire to conceive with their partner.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) on human granulosa cell growth and elucidate its regulatory mechanisms.

Methods: A human non-luteinizing granulosa cell line (HGrC) developed from small antral follicles was used to assess the impact of CNP on cell proliferation and estrogen synthesis. cGMP production via the guanylate cyclase domain of the CNP receptor, natriuretic peptide receptor 2 (NPR2), was confirmed.

A cycle-based model to predict no usable blastocyst formation following cycles of in vitro fertilization in patients with normal ovarian reserve.

Department of Reproductive Medicine Center, Henan Provincial People's Hospital, Zhengzhou University People's Hospital, Zhengzhou, The People's Republic of China.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a predictive model for the risk of no usable blastocyst formation in patients with normal ovarian reserve undergoing IVF.

Methods: The model was derived from 7,901 patients who underwent their first oocyte retrieval and subsequent blastocyst culture, of which 446 cases have no usable blastocysts formed. Univariate regression analyses, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis were used to identify the association of patient and cycle characteristics with the presence of no available blastocyst and to create a nomogram.
