The Study of the Relationship Between TWEAK/Fn14, JAK/STAT3 and IDO in the Immune Microenvironment of Endometrium in Repeated Implantation Failure

November 16, 2016 updated by: ZhangTao

The purpose of this study is to find out the possible relationship among TWEAK/Fn14, JAK/STAT3 and IDO as well as their roles in the dysfunction of immune micro-environment of endometrium in people diagnosed as repeated implantation failure after in vitro Fertilization-embryo transfer(IVF-ET).

We will use the technology of Western-blot and Immunohistochemistry to find out the relationship of the expression of TWEAK/Fn14, JAK/STAT3 and IDO in endometrium . Also, we will use technology of Western-blot and Immunohistochemistry to determine whether there are differences of the the expression of TWEAK/Fn14, JAK/STAT3 and IDO in endometrium between RIF group and control group.

Study Population

The population of RIF is determined when transferred embryos fail to implant following in at least three consecutive IVF attempts, in which 1-2 embryos of high grade quality are transferred in each cycle.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

- Women who had a history of implantation failures in at least three consecutive IVF attempts, in which 1-2 embryos of high grade quality are transferred in each cycle without diagnosis of any specific cause of implantation failure.

Exclusion Criteria:

- antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), endocrine disorder (diabetes, thyroid dysfunction), genetic disorders, uterine malformations, or any current infections
