Study phase:

Pilot clinical trial

Objectives of Study:

To clarify the impact of the disorder of the oscillatory cycle rhythm of the ovarian core biological clock Clock/Bmal1-TTFLs and the clock-controlled gene klotho on follicle ovulation and to seek the key points of regulating the oscillatory cycle rhythm of the biological clock Clock/Bmal1-TTFLs-klotho by tonifying the kidney and regulating the period. The biological clock and related metabolic changes before and after intervention with the method were used to explain the regulatory mechanism of the kidney-tonifying and circadian-regulating method in the treatment of anovulatory infertility from the ovarian biological clock cycle rhythm and it was clear that the ovarian biological clock Clock/Bmal1-TTFLs-klotho regulation is the "clock control" of the kidney-tonifying and circadian-regulating method. The core of "chemical ovulation".

Description for medicine or protocol of treatment in detail:

PCOS and POI treatment group: Starting from the 5th day of the menstrual cycle take Tiaozhou Ziyin Granules (in-hospital preparation) orally 2 packs each time 3 times a day for 14 days; thereafter continue to take Tiaozhou Buyang Granules (in-hospital preparation) 2 packs each time 3 times a day 14 days of treatment. PCOS and POI control group: Starting from the 5th day of the menstrual cycle oral administration of placebo No. 1 containing 5% of the active ingredient of Tiaozhou Ziyin Granules 2 sachets each time 3 times a day for 14 days; thereafter continue to take placebo containing 5% of the active ingredient of Tiaozhou Ziyin Granules. % Placebo No. 2 the active ingredient of Tiaozhou Buyang Granules is 2 packs each time 3 times a day and the course of treatment is 14 days. Take medicine for 28 days as one cycle and enter the IVF-ET process after using the above treatment plan for 3 consecutive cycles.

Inclusion criteria

① Meet the diagnostic criteria for infertility; ② Aged 28 to 34 years old; ③ Those who meet the diagnostic criteria for PCOS or POI and have kidney deficiency syndrome according to traditional Chinese medicine or have normal ovarian function who undergo IVF assisted pregnancy due to male factors; ④ undergo IVF-ET antagonism ⑤The patient can tolerate the relevant treatments in this study and has good compliance; ⑥The patient did not use any medication before treatment and voluntarily participated and actively cooperated and signed the informed consent form for enrollment.

Exclusion criteria:

1) Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25kg/m2; 2) Either one of the couple has abnormal karyotype; 3) There is uterine factor infertility such as endometrial polyps intrauterine adhesions and uterine mucosa Fibroids adenomyosis congenital uterine anomalies etc.; 4) Endometriosis; 5) Recurrent miscarriage; 6) Untreated hydrosalpinx; 7) Use of drugs that affect endocrine function in the past three months Those who use similar drugs; 8) Combined with other contraindications to assisted reproductive technology for pregnancy such as mental illness severe damage to liver and kidney function thrombotic diseases malignant tumors etc. 9) Those who are unable to give full informed consent due to intellectual or behavioral disabilities. 10) Suspected or confirmed history of alcohol or drug abuse. 11) According to the researcher's judgment there are other diseases that may reduce the possibility of enrollment or complicate enrollment such as frequent changes in the work environment which may easily lead to loss of follow-up. 12) Allergic constitutions such as those with a history of allergies to two or more drugs or foods; or those with known allergies to the ingredients of this medicine. 13) Patients who are participating in clinical trials of other drugs.
