چکیده

OBJECTIVE To assess the value of routine screening of nuclear status of day-2 four-cell preembryos for single embryo transfer (SET) in predicting implantation. DESIGN Retrospective analysis. SETTING Private IVF unit. PATIENT(S) A total of 1,985 fresh embryo transfers on day 2 or day 3 were performed from January 2002 to November 2004. In 1,295 (65.2%) of these transfers, SET was performed. All day-2 four-cell preembryos transferred in SET cycles (n = 861) were analyzed retrospectively for outcome in terms of implantation rate and its relation to the number of visible mononucleate blastomeres (MNBs), the degree of fragmentation, and equality of blastomeres. INTERVENTION(S) Light microscopic evaluation of preembryos before transfer on day 2. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Implantation rate. RESULT(S) The number of MNBs was found to be related to implantation, whereas blastomere equality and rate of embryo fragmentation were not. The implantation rate was statistically significantly higher in cycles where a four-cell preembryo with four MNBs was transferred than after transfer of a four-cell preembryo with zero to three MNBs (42% versus 22%). In a logistic regression analysis, nucleation of all blastomeres was the only morphologic parameter that was associated with the implantation rate. CONCLUSION(S) Evaluation of nuclear status of four-cell preembryos is important in predicting implantation potential. Visualization of four MNBs in a four-cell preembryo predicted a statistically significant higher implantation rate than in cases where not all four blastomeres were mononucleate.

Effects of bisphenol-S low concentrations on oxidative stress status and in vitro fertilization potential in mature female mice

Bisphenol-S (BPS) is a new bisphenol-A substitute widely used in many plastic products. Bisphenol-A as a main member of bisphenol family has been known as an endocrine system disrupter chemical compound. Like other members of bisphenol family, there is public health concern about the toxic effects of BPS on reproductive system, thus, we examined BPS effects on in vitro fertilization (I...

O-3: Effect of Melatonin Treatment on Developmental Potential of Somatic Cell Nuclear- Transferred Mouse Oocytes In Vitro

Background Melatonin (N-acetyl-5- methoxytryptamine) is mainly synthesized and secreted in the pineal gland, ovary, testes, bone marrow, retina and lens in mammalian species. It is involved in the detoxification of ROS and protects embryos from oxidative damage. Melatonin acts as a potential free radical scavenger, including peroxyl radical and hydroxyl radical. In addition, it can stimulate th...

The Impact of In vitro Oocyte Maturity on Developmental Potential of Embryos Derived from Controlled Ovarian Stimulation Cycles

Background and Aims: One of the major subjects for improving in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome is the quantity and quality of retrieved oocytes. In vitro maturation (IVM) provides an opportunity for using immature oocytes routinely discarded in clinics. This study aimed at evaluating the quality of embryos derived from in vivo and rescue in vitro matured oocytes. Materials and Methods: Tota...

Modeling In Vitro Fertilization Data Considering Multiple Outcomes Observed among Iranian Infertile Women

Objective Women undergoing IVF cycles should go successfully through multiple points during the procedure (i.e., implantation, clinical pregnancy, no spontaneous abortion and delivery) to achieve live births. On the other there is a need to consider previous reproductive outcomes and as well as the current cycle. In this study, data on multiple cycles and multiple points during the IVF cycle ar...
