Poor responder infertility patients
Conditions
Interventions
1) Correct serum from the patients before surgery to measure molecular markers to ensure suppression of Hippo signaling. 2) Excise one side of whole ovary or partial ovarian tissues under laparoscopi
pouch. In some patients who have relatively better ovarian reserve, we directly cut ovarian cortex inside of the body or scratch ovarian cortex to induce physical stimulation to the ovary. From the co

Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: All following four features must be present: 1) Advanced maternal age (=>40 years) or any other risk factor for POR 2) A previous POR (<=3 oocytes with a conventional stimulation protocol) 3) An abnormal ovarian reserve test (i.e. AFC, 5-7 follicles or AMH, 0.5-1.1 ng/ml). 4) Married women
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1)Patients with severe ovarian dysfunction who can not retrieve oocytes after ovarian stimulation. 2)Patients with high risk for laparoscopy. 3)Patients who can not obtain written informed consent. 4)Patients judged to be inappropriate for the study by the physicians.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparison of the number of oocytes retrieved after ovarian stimulation with those of base line numbers. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparison of proportions of fertilization, pregnancy and abortion with those of base line levels. Comparison of the levels of molecular markers reflecting the results of Hippo signal suppression in ovarian tissues and serum before and after culture and grafting operation, respectively. Also, we count the number of secondary follicles in grafting tissues by histological analysis. | — |
