Objective: This study retrospectively investigates whether diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), as measured by serum anti-müllerian hormone (AMH), impacts oocyte quality and IVF/ICSI outcomes in the cleavage embryo or blastocyst stage or not.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1677 women aged ≤40 years who underwent 1862 IVF/ICSI cycles and divided patients into two groups: low-AMH included the patients with AMH levels <1.2 ng/ml, and normal-AMH included the patients with AMH values ≥1.2 ng/ml. Ovarian stimulation response till fertilization condition and fresh transfer outcomes were compared between the two groups.

Results: The cancellation rate was significantly higher in the low-AMH group than in the normal-AMH group (12.6 % vs 2.2 %, p < 0.001). The MII oocyte retrieval and available embryos were significantly higher in the normal-AMH group than in the low-AMH group. There were no significant differences in the implantation rates (IR), miscarriage rate (MR) and live birth rate (LBR) in cleavage embryo transfer (IR:20.90 % vs 21.59 %, p = 0.787; MR:18.8 % vs 22.3 %, p = 0.543; LBR:29.3 % vs 30.9 %, p = 0.686) and blastocyst transfer (IR:43.92 % vs 44.09 %, p = 0.819; MR:6.7 % vs 15.8 %, p = 0.486; LBR:48.1 % vs 45.1 %, p = 0.758) between the two groups.

Conclusions: Ovarian reserve, measured by circulating AMH, correlates with cycle cancellation rate and predicts the recovery of oocyte numbers and available embryos after conventional ovarian hyperstimulation but not oocyte quality or IVF/ICSI outcomes in women ≤40 years old.

Trial Registration: The study protocol was retrospectively registered and was approved by Institutional Review Board of Mackay Memorial Hospital (21MMHIS219e) on August 26, 2021.

To surmount the shortcomings of powder-based catalysts and small electrode sizes, the development of meter-scale integrated electrode materials is essential for practical electrocatalytic applications, which requires fine control over the effective surface grafting of catalytic active sites on large-size electrodes as well as addressing the challenge of balancing cost-effective and large-scale manufacturing with highly active and stable operation. Herein, we report a low-cost, facile, and scalable method for directly constructing meter-scale single-molecule-integrated catalytic electrodes using commercially available, flexible, and size-tailored conductive carbon textiles (e.g.

Background: Hypertension is a major global health issue and a significant modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, contributing to a substantial socioeconomic burden due to its high prevalence. In China, particularly among populations living near desert regions, hypertension is even more prevalent due to unique environmental and lifestyle conditions, exacerbating the disease burden in these areas, underscoring the urgent need for effective early detection and intervention strategies.

Objective: This study aims to develop, calibrate, and prospectively validate a 2-year hypertension risk prediction model by using large-scale health examination data collected from populations residing in 4 regions surrounding the Taklamakan Desert of northwest China.

Prediction of protein-ligand interactions is critical for drug discovery and repositioning. Traditional prediction methods are computationally intensive and limited in modeling structural changes. In contrast, data-driven deep learning methods significantly reduce computational costs and offer a more efficient approach for drug discovery.

Saline irrigation improves survival of forage sorghum but limits growth and increases toxicity.

School of Biological Sciences, Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Moderately saline water has been proposed as a potential irrigation resource for crops such as forage sorghum (Sorghum bicolor × Sorghum bicolor nothosubsp. drummondii) in drought-prone regions. However, it is not yet fully understood how salinity affects growth and potential toxicity of sorghum.
