Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Visited the gynecology clinic of Dongzhimen Hospital from November 2023 to October 2024. Upon examination of sexual hormones or AMH, it was considered that patients with Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR), premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), and healthy individuals had decreased ovarian reserve function.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. The selection criteria for healthy individuals are follows.

    • women aged 18-45.

      • Basic FSH<10IU/L, and AMH is within the normal range.

        • Regular menstruation.

          • Agree and sign an informed consent form.

  2. The selection criteria for DOR patients are follows.

    • women aged 18-45.

      • For two consecutive menstrual cycles, 25 ≥ basal FSH ≥ 10IU/L or AMH<1.1ng/ml.

        • Agree and sign an informed consent form.

  3. Selection criteria for POI patients are follows.

    • 18 ≤ females aged <40 years old.

      • Two consecutive menstrual cycles with basal FSH>25IU/L or AMH<1.1ng/ml.

        • Agree and sign an informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with congenital gonadal developmental abnormalities or a family history similar to "early menopause".
  2. Patients with acquired organic lesions or decreased ovarian function caused by ovarian surgery.
  3. Patients who have undergone artificial cycle therapy with Western medicine or other endocrine treatments within the past three months.
  4. Patients with severe primary diseases and mental disorders such as crdiovascular, cerebrovascular, liver, kidney, and hematopoietic system.
  5. Patients during lactation or pregnancy.
  6. Patients who are allergic to the drugs used in this study or have a history of allergic reactions to traditional Chinese medicine.

Those who meet any of the above 5 criteria for DOR and POI will be excluded and not included in this study. The exclusion criteria for healthy subjects are as (1), (3), (4), and (5).

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Diminished Ovarian Reserve Group
women with DOR
Diagnostic test: blood test
Detection of serum levels of copper ions, iron ions, ceruloplasmin (CP), CuZn SOD, malondialdehyde (MDA), etc. Blood samples will be retained from the rest samples for sex hormones samples for testing sex hormones, which don't increase times of blood collection.
Premature Ovarian Insufficiency Group (POI)
women with premature ovarian insufficiency
Diagnostic test: blood test
Detection of serum levels of copper ions, iron ions, ceruloplasmin (CP), CuZn SOD, malondialdehyde (MDA), etc. Blood samples will be retained from the rest samples for sex hormones samples for testing sex hormones, which don't increase times of blood collection.
Control Group
women with normal menstruation and levels of sex hormones
Diagnostic test: blood test
Detection of serum levels of copper ions, iron ions, ceruloplasmin (CP), CuZn SOD, malondialdehyde (MDA), etc. Blood samples will be retained from the rest samples for sex hormones samples for testing sex hormones, which don't increase times of blood collection.
