To investigate the effect of acupuncture on reducing pain and anxiety related to hysterosalpingography (HSG).
A total of 107 patients planned to undergo HSG were randomly separated into 3 groups; the acupuncture group (n=36), intramuscular diclofenac sodium group (n=35), and control group (n=37). In the acupuncture group, electro-acupuncture was applied to specified points for 20 mins before the procedure. In the intramuscular diclofenac sodium group, an intramuscular injection of 75 mg diclofenac sodium was applied 30 mins before the procedure. No analgesics were administered to the patients in the control group before intervention. Pain was evaluated with a Visual Analog scale (VAS) and anxiety with the State-trait Anxiety inventory -state (STAI-S), preoperatively and at specified times postoperatively.
The VAS scores at 1 and 5 minutes after HSG were similar in acupuncture group and intramuscular diclofenac sodium group, and significantly lower than in the control group. At 30 mins postoperatively, there was no significant difference between the 3 groups in respect of the VAS scores. The STAI-S scores at 1 hour preoperatively were similar in all the groups (p=0.563). Toyocamycin CDK inhibitor In the comparisons of the STAI-S values at preoperative 5 mins, following acupuncture in acupuncture group and the diclofenac injection in intramuscular diclofenac sodium group, and at postoperative 30 mins, the acupuncture group values were determined to be statistically significantly lower than those of the other groups (p<0.001, p<0.001).
Acupuncture has similar effects on the reduction of pain as other analgesics and reduces anxiety. It can therefore be used in HSG in suitable clinics.

To investigate whether letrozole priming could be used efficiently in patients undergoing
maturation (IVM) as compared with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) priming.
This is a retrospective analysis of 63 patients who underwent IVM due to the high risk of Ovarian Hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) (n=39), cancerophobia (n=16), and desire for IVM after failed
fertilization attempts (n=8). Forty-two patients received FSH priming and 21 patients received letrozole priming.
The patients who had FSH or letrozole priming were statistically similar with respect to age, body mass index, duration of infertility, basal antral follicle count, serum anti-Müllerian hormone levels, and IVM indications (p>0.05 for all). When compared with the FSH priming group, the number of germinal vesicle oocytes, metaphase II and fertilized oocytes were significantly higher (p=0.003, p=0.001, and p=0.016, respectively), but the number of metaphase I oocytes was significantly lower in the letrozole priming group (p=0.002). The patients who received FSH and letrozole priming had statistically similar rates of implantation (33.3% vs 37.0%, p=0.709), clinical pregnancy (31.5% vs 33.3%, p=0.848), twinning (1.9% vs 3.7%, p=0.611), and live birth (24.1% vs 29.6%, p=0.682).
Potential indications for IVM include patients with increased risk for OHSS and contraindication for hyperestrogenism. Aromatase inhibitors can be used to preserve the fertility of patients with estrogen-sensitive cancers. Letrozole priming appears to be an efficient approach in patients who undergo IVM, with likely less cost than FSH priming.

Cryopreservation of embryos for future transfer attempts has noticeably increased in the last decade, especially due to the technological developments in in vitro fertlization (IVF) laboratories. In parallel, different progesterone (P) replacement regimens preceding artificially prepared frozen embryo transfer (AC-FET) attempts, especially with respect to the route of application and dosing scheme, have been widely argued so far. We aimed to provide more information about the efficacy profile of novel subcutaneous aqueous progesterone (SP) in AC-FET cycles.
This retrospective, single-centre cohort study included a total of 507 AC-FET cycles performed between June 2018 and April 2020. Three hundred forty-nine (68.8%) patients received 50 mg of intramuscular progesterone as once daily, 158 (31.2%) patients received 25 mg of SP as twice daily. Only, the first and single blastocyst transfers from the same cohort were accepted. The inclusion criteria were as follows females aged <37 years, body mass index ≥may be accepted as an alternative for luteal phase support in AC-FET cycles.
As a novel option, SP has comparable efficacy in pregnancy outcomes and may be accepted as an alternative for luteal phase support in AC-FET cycles.
Implantation failure is a multifactorial problem of reproductive medicine. However, the mechanism of this process is still not fully understood. There is increasing evidence that these cases of recurrent implantation failure might have an immunologic background. Uterine natural killer (NK) cells provide immune-modulation at the interface between maternal decidua and the trophoblast. The aim of this study to evaluate whether there was a significant difference in the number of endometrial CD56+ NK between women with a history of recurrent implantation failure and women who had a live birth.
Patients with a history of recurrent implantation failure were included in the study. Twenty-five women with a history of recurrent implantation failure were assigned to the case group, and 25 women who had one or more live births were assigned to the control group. Endometrial biopsies were obtained during the luteal phase on the 21
-24
day of the menstrual cycle.
There was a statistically significant difference between the groups concerning the number of deliveries (p<0.001) and miscarriages (p<0.001). The mean number of uNK was 10.5±10.5 cells/mm
in the case group and 19.2±11.2 cells/mm
in the control group. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p=0.003).
Implantation failure is a multifactorial problem of reproductive medicine. The results of our study suggest that uterine NK play a role in the progress of normal pregnancy and reduced uterine NK cell numbers were associated with implantation failure.
