The women were divided into warming-needle moxibustion group（group A. 20 cases） and medication group（group B, 20 cases）. In group A, acupuncture,warming-needle moxibustion and electroacupuncture were conducted at different clinical stage. In group B, progynova was given to the patients from the 7 th day of menstruation to the 14 th day after ovulation（2 tablets, bid oral administration in the morning and evening）. The treatment lasted for 3 menstrual cycles, and the endometrial thickness changes and pregnancy rate of the patients in the two groups were compared after treatment.Results： The endometrial thickness of patients in the two groups increased after treatment when compared with the thickness before treatment. The average endometrial thickness in group A increased from（5.23 ±1.57） mm before treatment to（8.31 ±2.80） mm after treatment, while the average endometrial thickness in group B increased from（5.27 士 0.99） mm before treatment to（8.32 ±1.97） mm after treatment, and the differences were statistically significant（both P〈0.05）. The increase of endometrial thickness of the patients in group A after treatment was slightly larger than that in group B, and the difference was not statistically significant（P〉0.05）. After treatment for 3 menstrual cycles, the pregnancy rate of infertility women in group A was 25%（5/20） and 15%（3/20） in group B.Conclusion： Warming-needle moxibustion can increase the endometrial thickness to a certain extent,thus improving the endometrial receptivity, enhancing the embryo implantation rate, and improving the pregnancy outcome.展开更多

The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate the factors influencing the effectiveness of estrogen treatment and reproductive outcomes after the treatment in patients with thin endometrium. Methods： Relevant clinical data of 101 patients with thin endometrium who had undergone estrogen treatment were collected. Possible factors influencing the effectiveness of treatment were analyzed retrospectively by logistic regression analysis. Eighty-seven infertile women without thin endometrium who had undergone assisted reproduction served as controls. The cases and controls were matched for age, assisted reproduction method, and number of embryos transferred. Reproductive outcomes of study and control groups were compared using Student＇s t-test and the Chi-square test. Results： At the end of estrogen treatment, EMT was ≥8 mm in 93/101 patients （92.1%）. Effectiveness of treatment was significantly associated with maximal pretreatment EMT （P = 0.017） and treatment duration （P = 0.004）. The outcomes of assisted reproduction were similar in patients whose treatment was successful in increasing EMT to ≥8 mm and the control group. The rate of clinical pregnancy in patients was associated with the number of good-quality embryos transferred in both fresh （P = 0.005） and frozen-thawed （P = 0.000） embryo transfer cycles. Conclusions： Thinner EMT before estrogen treatment requires longer treatment duration and predicts poorer treatment outcomes. The effectiveness of treatment depends on the duration of estrogen administration. Assisted reproductive outcomes of patients whose treatment is successful （i.e., achieves an EMT ≥8 mm） are similar to those of controls. The quality of embryos transferred is an important predictor of assisted reproductive outcomes in patients treated successfully with exogenous estrogen.展开更多

文摘Exosomes derived from hypoxic endometrial epithelial cells are pivotal in cellular communication and tissue repair,offering new perspectives on reproductive health.This manuscript highlights the study by Zhang et al,which investigates the effects of miR-214-5p and miR-21-5p in hypoxic cell-derived exosomes on human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells.The study reveals that low levels of these microRNAs activate the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 signaling pathway,enhancing human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell migration and differentiation.These findings provide novel insights into therapeutic strategies for improving endometrial health and addressing infertility linked to thin endometrium.
