چکیده

macrophages" is discussed in the third symposium. Most studies in this section have employed the methodology of DNA labeling, using tritiated thymidine (3H-Tdr) to ascertain whether microglia are related to blood monocytes (as one contributor contends most CNS macrophages are), or whether they represented a "third" glial cell line. Other articles attempt to quantitate neural synapses, to elaborate the synaptic ultrastructure in the unanesthetized and experimentally modified cerebral cortex, to demonstrate that there is a constancy of total synaptic contact area on the Purkinje cells in the cerebellum despite plasticity of synaptic size, and to examine (via transmission and scanning electron microscopy and via ultracytochemistry) the structure of the vertebrate and of the human cerebellar cortex. In the final section the contribution of metallic impregnation methods to neuroanatomy are discussed. Scheibel provides an excellent review of the application of Golgi methods to human pathologies such as cortical epilepsy, nutritional deficiency, Patou syndrome, intractable uncal fits, senile dementia (and nondemented senescence), and to cases where the loss of the giant, pyramidal Betz Cells (which act as inhibitors of the neurons of the large extensor muscles) results in "slowing down" and increasing stiffness of the extremities of which so many older individuals complain. He predicts that Golgi methods may yet unravel such chronic psychopathologies as schizophrenia. In conclusion, for the interested student of neuroanatomy the proceedings of the Eleventh International Congress of Anatomy is certainly "food for thought" worthy of being thoroughly chewed and digested.

Resurgence of Minimal Stimulation In Vitro Fertilization with A Protocol Consisting of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone-Agonist Trigger and Vitrified-Thawed Embryo Transfer

Minimal stimulation in vitro fertilization (mini-IVF) consists of a gentle controlled ovarian stimulation that aims to produce a maximum of five to six oocytes. There is a misbelief that mini-IVF severely compromises pregnancy and live birth rates. An appraisal of the literature pertaining to studies on mini-IVF protocols was performed. The advantages of minimal stimulation protocols are report...

O-32: Effects of Intrauterine Injection of Recombinant Human Chorionic Gonadotropin before Embryo Transfer on Outcome of In Vitro Fertilization/Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Background: To evaluate the effectiveness of intrauterine injection of recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (rhCG) before embryo transfer (ET). Materials and Methods: In this randomized placebocontrolled clinical trial, a total number of 182 infertile patients undergoing their first in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI) were randomly assigned to receive 250 μg i...

Analyzing the association of MMP-3 promoter polymorphism and its serum concentration with the outcome of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer

This study aimed to investigate the polymorphism of matrix metalloproteinase -3 (MMP-3) gene and its expression in the serum of infertile female patients received in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). To do so, 100 women with unsuccessful IVF-ET (IVF–) and 100 women with successful IVF-ET procedure and clinical pregnancy (IVF+) were included. Genetic polymorphism and serum concen...

A Comparison of Success Rates of Embryo Transfer on Weekdays and Weekends

Objective The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the embryo transfer (ET) day on clinical pregnancy success rates in in vitro fertilization-ET (IVF-ET) cycles. MaterialsAndMethods In this retrospective study, we divided patients with infertility who underwent IVF-ET with fresh embryos into two groups depending on whether the ET was performed on weekdays or weekends. The main outcome ...
