a number of infertile women who were prepared for ICSI and immediately post ova pick up intrauterine flushing with human chorionic gonadotropin was done to study the effect of this drug on ICSI outcome and ultrasound parameter.
Ninety infertile women included. Written informed consent was obtained before being included in the study. Three groups of patients according to type of intervention. Assessment of plasma hormone level was done for all. The quantification of serum TNF and IL-10 levels was conducted through the application of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methodology at a privately-owned laboratory.

Serum Level of TNF-alfa,IL-10, for All Participants in Three Study Group at Day of Ova Pickup Compared to That at Day of Embryo Transfer
All participants in the study had a blood sample taken on the day of ovum retrieval (within 10 minute after ova pickup) for the purpose of measuring the level of interleukin-10 and TNF-alfa in the blood, and a second sample was taken on the day of embryo transfer (ten minute before embryo transfer) to asses both marker,
Time frame: at day of ova pickup a blood sample aspirated, and on day of embryo transfer about 3-5 days post ova pickup blood sample taken within ten minute before embryo transfer to asses serum level of TNF-alfa and IL-10 for all participent
Ultrasound Parameter (RI,PI)
assessment of sub-endometrial blood flow indicis immediately within 10 minute post ova pickup and second exam within ten minute before embryo transfer day which is within 3-5 days of ova pickup there are no maximum or minimum value for the parameter to be measured and lower value is better these measure was performed by using ultrasound device
Time frame: Within 10 minutes after ova pickup, ten minute before embryo transfer using ultrasound device
Systole Flow/ Diastole Flow
ultrasound parameter to asses endometrial receptivity by measuring sub-endometrial flow systole / diastole ratio
Time frame: within ten minute post ova pickup and ten minute prior to embryo transfer which is done within 3-5 days post ova pickup
TNF-alfa/IL-10 Ratio
ratio of serum level of TNA-alfa /IL-10 at time of ova pickup and at day of embryo transfer
Time frame: within ten minute post ova pickup and ten minute prior to embryo transfer which is done within 3-5 days post ova pickup
