Summary: The study reveals that the cervical microbiota is more diverse than the vaginal microbiota, but there is a correlation between the two sites due to anatomical continuity. The microbial composition of the vagina and cervical canal may influence the outcome of IVF-ET, although more samples are needed to verify this conclusion.

Summary: The present study aimed to examine the clinical factors influencing the pregnancy rate of infertile patients with endometriosis and establish a predictive model. Results showed that the use of GnRH-a treatment after operation, ASRM stage, and the number of high-quality transferred embryos were independently associated with successful pregnancy. The prediction model had a high accuracy, as indicated by the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.774. Internal validation further confirmed the consistency between the predicted pregnancy rate and actual data.

Summary: In comparison with single good-quality embryo transfer, double embryo transfer of one good-quality embryo and one poor-quality embryo does not significantly affect the pregnancy rate but increases the rate of multiple pregnancies and multiple births.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics and risk factors of pregnant women with miliary tuberculosis after IVF-ET, revealing that tubal infertility with underscreened or untreated TB is a major risk factor for the disease. Ground-glass opacity and pulmonary infiltrate or consolidation were identified as independent predictors for respiratory failure.

Summary: The study compared immediate and delayed frozen embryo transfers following a stimulated IVF cycle and found that immediate FET resulted in significantly higher ongoing pregnancy and live birth rates. This suggests that immediate FET may be more effective after a stimulated IVF cycle.

Summary: This study found that patients who developed miliary tuberculosis after IVF-ET often had poor pregnancy outcomes, leading to mostly spontaneous or induced abortions. Prior TB lesions and oviduct obstruction were identified as potential risk factors for TB reactivation during pregnancy.

Summary: Imbalance of vaginal microbiota has a significant impact on the outcome of frozen embryo transfer (FET). Lactobacilli-dominant vaginal flora is associated with a favorable clinical outcome of FET.

Summary: This study found significant differences in female serum zinc levels between Beijing and Shandong centers. Lower zinc concentrations in Shandong may be a risk factor for IVF-ET failure, which can be addressed by adjusting dietary intake.

Summary: Immediate frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) after failed fresh embryo transfer leads to higher clinical pregnancy rates and lower biochemical pregnancy loss rates. Therefore, delayed FET may not always be the optimal choice for infertile women who have experienced failed IVF-ET attempts.

Summary: With the rapid urbanization and industrialization in China, air pollution has become a significant environmental issue. A retrospective data analysis of 6564 patients from the Center for Reproductive Medicine at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between 2015 and 2020 revealed that air pollutants have a significant impact on the outcome of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET), particularly in patients younger than 35 years old, those undergoing single embryo transfer, and cleavage stage embryo transfer.

Summary: The study investigated the effect of a Traditional Chinese Medicine on in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer in patients with endometriosis, showing significant improvements in symptom patterns and clinical outcomes. Metabolomics analysis revealed the regulation of specific metabolic pathways after the intervention, suggesting a positive impact of TCM on endometriosis-related infertility.

Summary: The freeze-all strategy has limited efficacy in patients with adenomyosis and may be more suitable for specific patients. Further large-scale prospective studies are needed to confirm this result.
