Abstract

The study evaluated the changes of the intrauterine environment before and after IUI and explored the relationship between these changes and pregnancy rate. The study used a prospective cohort design and included infertility patients undergoing IUI. At specific time points before and after IUI treatment, high-precision thermal radiation imaging equipment was used to collect whole-body thermal radiation images of patients. During image acquisition, the patient is kept still to ensure image quality. The collected thermal radiation images will be analyzed by professional image processing software to extract key thermal radiation parameters, such as temperature distribution and thermal radiation intensity. These thermal radiation parameters were then correlated with patient clinical data (such as age, causes of infertility, treatment options, etc.) and pregnancy outcomes. The results showed significant changes in the distribution of thermal radiation in the uterine area after IUI treatment, and these changes were closely related to the pregnancy outcomes of the patients. Patients whose average temperature in the uterine area increased after treatment, and whose temperature distribution was more uniform, had a significantly higher pregnancy rate than other patients. Temperature changes in certain specific areas of the thermal radiation images, such as the area near the fallopian tube opening, were also found to have a significant correlation with pregnancy rates.

期刊介绍： Thermal Science and Engineering Progress (TSEP) publishes original, high-quality research articles that span activities ranging from fundamental scientific research and discussion of the more controversial thermodynamic theories, to developments in thermal engineering that are in many instances examples of the way scientists and engineers are addressing the challenges facing a growing population – smart cities and global warming – maximising thermodynamic efficiencies and minimising all heat losses. It is intended that these will be of current relevance and interest to industry, academia and other practitioners. It is evident that many specialised journals in thermal and, to some extent, in fluid disciplines tend to focus on topics that can be classified as fundamental in nature, or are ‘applied’ and near-market. Thermal Science and Engineering Progress will bridge the gap between these two areas, allowing authors to make an easy choice, should they or a journal editor feel that their papers are ‘out of scope’ when considering other journals. The range of topics covered by Thermal Science and Engineering Progress addresses the rapid rate of development being made in thermal transfer processes as they affect traditional fields, and important growth in the topical research areas of aerospace, thermal biological and medical systems, electronics and nano-technologies, renewable energy systems, food production (including agriculture), and the need to minimise man-made thermal impacts on climate change. Review articles on appropriate topics for TSEP are encouraged, although until TSEP is fully established, these will be limited in number. Before submitting such articles, please contact one of the Editors, or a member of the Editorial Advisory Board with an outline of your proposal and your expertise in the area of your review.
