Liu Y, Wu JZ. Effect of Gutai Decoction on the Abortion Rate of in vitro

Fertilization and Embryo Transfer.Chin J Integr Med. 2006

Children's Hospital, Guangzhou (510010). E-mail: ly1232005

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of Chinese herbal medicine Gutai

Decoction (GTD) on the abortion rate of in vitro fertilization and embryo

transfer (IVF-ET). METHODS: Observed were two hundred and forty-

seven women having received IVF-ET and with beta-human chorionic

gonadotropin (beta-HCG) > 25 IU/L on the 14th day after transferring.

All were treated conventionally with progesterone 20-80mg/d after

transferring and if necessary the treatment was supplemented with

Progynova 2 - 4 mg per day, with the medication withdrawn gradually

from the 9th week of pregnancy till stopped completely. Among them

131 cases received GTD medication additionally, for 109 cases of

whom the medication started from the 2nd day of transferring (taken as

Group A) and for the other 22 cases from the 14th day after transferring

(taken as Group B), the other 116 cases with no additional GTD

treatment given were taken as the control group, with the medication

lasting to the 12th week. The abortion rate in them was observed.

RESULTS: The abortion rate in Group A, Group B and the control group

was 12.84%, 13.64% and 23.28%, respectively, the difference between

the GTD treated groups and the control group was significant (P <

0.05). CONCLUSION: Chinese medicine GTD could reduce abortion

rate in women receiving IVF-ET. PMID: 17005079 [PubMed - in

Google has a few hits in Chinese on three different formulas: Gutai

Tang, Bushen Gutai San and Yishen Gutai Tang.

 

My attempts to translate the Chinese data are:
