Purpose
To examine the fertilization and developmental potential of sibling mature oocytes collected from different follicle sizes on day of retrieval in in vitro maturation (IVM) cycles.Methods
Two hundred thirty eight hCG-primed IVM cycles were performed in 213 patients with polycystic ovaries. If sibling mature oocytes were retrieved on day of collection, they were divided into two groups, Group 1 (n = 78): M-II oocytes obtained from follicles size 10–14 mm; Group 2 (n = 192): M-II oocytes obtained from follicles size <10 mm.Results
Of the 238 cycles, 63 cycles had more than one M-II oocytes retrieved (total M-II oocytes = 270) both from Groups 1 and 2. There were no significant differences between the two groups for oocyte diameter (117.2 mm vs. 116.9 mm), fertilization (79.5% vs. 72.4%) and good quality embryo on day 3 (66.1% vs. 56.8%).Conclusions
The M-II oocytes retrieved from the cohort of follicles (<10 mm diameter) can produce the same quality of embryos as that from large follicles, likely contributing to improve the clinical outcome. 相似文献2.

Purpose
To analyze the fertilization, embryo development, and clinical outcome of immature oocytes obtained from natural cycle IVF in women with regular cycles.Methods
Natural cycle IVF was performed in 28 patients who had normal ovaries, > 6 antral follicle counts and were less than 40 years old (n = 28 cycles). An hCG trigger of 10,000 IU was administered 36 h before oocyte collection when the diameter of the dominant follicle (DF) was over 12 mm. Oocytes were retrieved from DF as well as from the cohort of smaller follicles. Embryological aspects of the mature and immature oocytes retrieved from these cycles as well as the implantation and clinical pregnancy rates depending on the origin of the embryos transferred were evaluated.Result(s)
Overall clinical pregnancy and implantation rates were 20.8 % and 6.7 %, respectively. There were no differences in in vitro maturation (IVM), fertilization and embryo development between immature oocytes retrieved with and without in vivo matured oocytes. However, the clinical and implantation rates in cycles with embryos produced from in vivo matured oocytes transferred were better than the cycles where only IVM embryos were transferred (30.8 %, 9.1 % vs. 9.1 %, 3.2 %).Conclusion(s)
Although our results show that immature oocytes from natural cycle IVF can fertilize normally and can be used to increase the number of embryos available for transfer, the embryos derived from the immature oocytes in natural cycles IVF have a poorer reproductive potential. 相似文献3.

Purpose
To study parameters that could predict in-vitro fertilization (IVF) success in patients who experienced total fertilization failure (TFF) with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in their previous cycles.Methods
Cycle characteristics of patients with TFF (Group I, n = 136 cycles), cycles resulting in embryo transfer (ET) following TFF (Group II, n = 36 cycles) and recurrent TFF (Group III, n = 25 cycles) and were studied retrospectively. Demographic features, cycle characteristics of three groups were compared.Results
Follicle count measuring 15–17 mm was significantly higher in group II when compared to group I (p = 0.02). Total number of retrieved oocytes and mature oocytes were significantly higher in group II when compared to groups I and III (p = 0.001). Estradiol level at oocyte pick up (OPU) day was significantly higher in group II when compared to group I (p = 0.02). When the characteristics of ET cycles and preceding TFF cycles of the same patient were compared, total number of retrieved oocytes (5.11 ± 0.72 (95 % CI 3.69–6.52) vs. 11.44 ± 1.60 (95 % CI 5.29–17.59)) and mature oocytes (3.26 ± 3.66 (95 % CI 2.04–4.47) vs. 6.92 ± 5.61 (95 % CI 5.09–8.75)) were found to be significantly lower in TFF cycles (p = 0.001). Five biochemical and 5 clinical pregnancies occurred while only 2 healthy babies were born, corresponding to a live birth rate 5.5 %.Conclusions
Increasing the number of retrieved and mature oocytes may increase the success of fertilization in patients with a history of previous failed fertilization. However, live birth rate is still low in embryo transfer cycles. 相似文献4.

Purpose
The small antral follicles (SAFs) from the ovarian medulla can be a potential source of oocytes for infertility patients, but little is known about their ability to yield mature oocytes. This study evaluated the response of these SAFs to a stimulatory bolus of human corionic gonadotropin (hCG) in vitro.Methods
Oocyte nuclear maturation and hormone production (estradiol [E2], progesterone [P4]), antimullerian hormone [AMH]) by individual intact SAFs (n = 91; >0.5 mm; n = 5 monkeys) was evaluated after 34 h of culture in the absence (control) or presence of hCG.Results
Of the total cohort (n = 91), 49 % of SAFs contained degenerating oocytes. The percentage of healthy oocytes able to reinitiate meiosis to the metaphase I (MI) and MII was greater (p < 0.05) after hCG compared to controls. E2, P4 and AMH levels were higher (p < 0.05) in SAF cultures containing germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes compared to those with MII oocytes regardless of hCG exposure. SAF with MI oocytes produced more E2, but less (p < 0.05) P4 and AMH compared to SAFs containing GV oocytes (p < 0.05). Follicles ≥1 mm produced more (p < 0.05) E2, whereas follicle diameter did not correlate with P4 or AMH levels. Only P4 increased (p < 0.05) in response to hCG, regardless of follicle size or oocyte maturity. SAFs containing degenerating oocytes produced similar levels of E2, P4 and AMH compared to SAFs containing healthy oocytes.Conclusions
These data indicate, for the first time, that oocytes within primate SAFs can reinitiate meiosis in vitro in the absence of hCG, but nuclear maturation is enhanced in SAFs cultured with hCG. Oocyte nuclear maturation within SAFs in is associated with decreased E2, P4 and AMH levels. Furthermore, hormone content within the culture media does not necessarily reflect oocyte quality. 相似文献5.

Purpose
To compare the number of oocytes per follicles in ovulation induction with 10,000 IU urinary hCG (uhCG) and two different doses of recombinant hCG (rhCG) in women undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles.Methods
This study was a prospective, randomized controlled trial which was performed on 180 primary infertile women undergoing ICSI cycles. All eligible patients underwent a standard GnRH-a long protocol. When at least two follicles reached a diameter of 18 mm, all patients were randomized to receive 10,000 IU urinary hCG or 250 μg recombinant hCG or 500 μg recombinant hCG for ovulation induction. Primary outcome measure included the number of oocytes retrieved per aspirated follicles. Secondary outcome measures were the number of oocytes retrieved, the number of mature oocytes, the number and quality of generated embryos, fertilization rate, implantation rate, chemical and clinical pregnancy rates and OHSS occurrence rate.Results
The mean number of retrieved oocytes per follicles were 71.82 ± 15.09, 69.84 ± 17.44 and 77.16 ± 17.61 in 10,000 IU uhCG, 250 μg rhCG and 500 μg rhCG, respectively which was significantly higher with 500 μg rhCG than the lower dose(P = .04). Other cycles and clinical outcomes were comparable between groups.Conclusion
Recombinant hCG shows equivalent efficacy to urinary hCG in terms of the number of oocytes per aspirated follicles in selected patients undergoing ICSI; however, 500 μg rhCG seems to be more advantageous than the lower dose in this indication. Larger randomized trials are needed to generalize this strategy.ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01507376. 相似文献6.

Objective
To determine (a) the correlation between follicular sizes, oocyte maturity, normal fertilization rate, cleavage and embryo quality; and (b) to establish whether oocytes recovered with or without follicular flushing have different developmental competence.Design
Prospective observational study.Setting
Academic medical center.Patients
Forty nine cycles (37 ICSI and 12 IVF).Interventions
Measurement of 360 follicular diameters on the day of egg retrieval and classification into three groups Group A (mean diameter 12–14.5 mm.), group B (mean diameter 15–18 mm.) and group C (diameter >18.5 mm.).Main outcome measure
Correlation between follicular size at the time of retrieval and oocyte maturity, fertilization and cleavage rate in 226 oocytes (163 ICSI and 63 IVF). Developmental competence of oocytes retrieved with flushing versus non flushing.Results
Almost all (99 %) of the oocytes recovered from follicles of group C were in metaphase II as opposed to 80 % in group A and 81 % in group B (p < 0.01). Overall there was a progressive and significant increase in fertilization rates from group A follicles to group C (47 % vs. 67 %, p 0.05). Overall 53 % of oocytes retrieved from group A follicles showed either no fertilization or abnormal fertilization versus 27 % in group C (p 0.05). The oocyte recovery rate with follicular flushing improved from group A to group B and to group C follicles (65 % vs. 49 % vs.37 % respectively p < 0.01). There were no differences in rates of immature oocyte, fertilization, abnormal or not fertilization and cleavage.Conclusions
The results of this study shows that: a) Follicles larger than 18 mm at retrieval have consistently mature oocytes with a higher rate of fertilization; b) Small size follicles are still capable of containing mature oocytes, but their rate of abnormal or no fertilization is high; c) Oocytes recovered with flushing are still able to produce embryos with full developmental competence. 相似文献7.

Purpose
Our objective was to identify a marker for oocyte aneuploidy in follicular fluid (FF) in women with an increased risk of oocyte aneuploidy after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation.Materials and methods
Three groups of oocytes were constituted for polar body screening by FISH (chromosomes 13, 16, 18, 21 and 22): Group 1, advanced maternal age (n = 156); Group 2, implantation failure (i.e. no pregnancy after the transfer of more than 10 embryos; n = 101) and Group 3, implantation failure and advanced maternal age (n = 56). FSH and other proteins were assayed in the corresponding FF samples.Results
Of the 313 oocytes assessed, 35.78 % were abnormal. We found a significant difference between the follicular FSH levels in normal oocytes and abnormal oocytes (4.85 ± 1.75 IU/L vs. 5.41 ± 2.47 IU/L, respectively; p = 0.021). We found that the greater the number of chromosomal abnormalities per oocyte (between 0 and 3), the higher the follicular FSH level.Conclusion
High FF FSH levels were associated with oocyte aneuploidy in women having undergone controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. 相似文献8.

Purpose
To assesse circulating levels of Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) as a predictor of oocyte number and their potential to mature in vitro in both normo-ovulatory (NO) women and in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro maturation (IVM) treatments.Methods
We prospectively studied NO women and women diagnosed with PCOS, (age range 21–39 years) underwent IVM treatments at our center. Serum AMH levels were quantified before each cycle and correlated to oocytes number, maturation and fertilization during in vitro maturation.Results
104 NO and 30 PCOS IVM cycles were followed with retrieval of a total of 672 and 491 oocytes, respectively. In NO women, the serum AMH level positively correlated with the number of oocytes retrieved, (R = 0.6; P <0.0001) the number of M2 oocytes at 24 and 48 h (R = 0.4; P <0.01; R = 0.26 p < 0.007, respectively) and with the total number of M2 oocytes (R = 0.47; P < 0.0001). In the PCOS group, the serum AMH level positively correlated only with the number of oocytes retrieved (R = 0.43; P <0.03). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses showed that a cutoff AMH level of 1.56 (ng/ml) could identify patients with 5 or more oocytes at OPU with a sensitivity of 83 % and a specificity of 75 %. An AMH level of 1.63 (ng/ml) was the threshold for 5 or more matured oocytes (sensitivity = 81 %, specificity = 53 %).Conclusions
Serum AMH may be used as a marker to identify candidates for IVM treatment in both NO and PCOS women. 相似文献9.

Purpose
To evaluate whether laparoscopic excision of endometrioma exerts a qualitative effect on ovarian function.Methods
A retrospective analysis of oocytes retrieved in 25 cycles of 21 patients undergoing IVF treatment with controlled ovarian stimulation. The number of oocytes recovered from ovaries with a history of excision of endometrioma (E-Ov) were compared to those from contra-lateral healthy ovaries (H-Ov) as for the analysis of a quantitative effect of surgery. As for the analysis of a qualitative effect, 55 oocytes from E-Ov were compared to 128 oocytes from H-Ov in terms of normal fertilization rate and the rate of top-quality embryos per normally fertilized eggs. Furthermore, 10 embryos derived from oocytes recovered from E-Ov were compared to 24 embryos derived from oocytes from H-Ov in terms of clinical and on-going pregnancy rates per embryos in 34 single embryo transfer cycles.Results
Mean number of oocytes recovered from E-Ov was significantly smaller than that from H-Ov (2.2 ± 2.0 vs. 5.1 ± 3.3, P = 0.009). There was no difference between oocytes from E-Ov and H-Ov as for normal fertilization rate (63.6 % vs. 69.5 %, P = 0.43) and the rate of top-quality embryos (40.0 % vs. 49.0 %, P = 0.34). Clinical and on-going pregnancy rates per embryos were also similar in embryos derived from oocytes recovered from E-Ov and H-Ov (40.0 % vs. 25.0 %, P = 0.39 and 20.0 % vs. 20.8 %, P = 0.96).Conclusions
The quality of oocytes recovered from the ovary with a history of laparoscopic excision of endometrioma is not inferior to the quality of oocytes from contra-lateral healthy ovary. 相似文献10.

Purpose
To evaluate the recovery rate and spontaneous in vitro maturation (IVM) of immature oocytes enclosed within or released from follicles during the processing of ovarian tissue prior to its cryopreservation.Methods
Thirty-three oncologic patients who had not previously undergone chemo or radiotherapy underwent ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) during natural menstrual cycles. Immature oocytes, enclosed within follicles or released during ovarian cortex processing, were collected and matured spontaneously in vitro for 48 h. Nuclear maturation was assessed every 24 h and the ability of the IVM oocytes to display a normal activation response following parthenogenetic activation was evaluated. The following outcome measures were also evaluated: disease, age, FSH, LH, E2, P4 and AMH serum levels, menstrual cycle day, recovery and spontaneous IVM and parthenogenetic activation rates.Results
Oocytes recovered per patient were 3.3 ± 0.7 (1.8–4.7 oocytes, 95CI), regardless of the menstrual phase. The mean number of IVM oocytes per patient was 1.3 ± 0.2 oocytes (95CI: 0.8–1.8), regardless of menstrual phase (p = 0.86) and oocyte origin (p = 0.61). Forty-one percent of oocytes extruded the second polar body and formed one pronucleus after parthenogenetic activation.Conclusion
Twenty-one of the 33 women (63.6 %) requesting OTC produced at least one mature oocyte. 相似文献11.

Purpose
To evaluate whether the deposition of the spermatozoon in the human oocyte at ICSI has any effect on oocyte survival, fertilization, blastocyst development and quality.Methods
In a prospective study, including 78 ICSI cycles, sibling oocytes were injected with “no intention” (group A, standard ICSI, n = 393) or “intention” to deposit the spermatozoon under the cortex (group B, n = 354). Outcome parameters were oocyte survival and fertilization, as well as blastocyst formation and quality.Results
Depositing the sperm under the cortex of the oocyte was not always successful for its final position, therefore, group B was divided into three subgroups: B1 successful deposition (119 oocytes, 33.6 % of oocytes in group B); B2 initially successful but spermatozoon spontaneously relocated after 2 min (136 oocytes, 38.4 %); and B3 unsuccessful deposition (99 oocytes, 28.0 %). Group A and B were compared on an intention-to-treat basis. Additionally, A, B1, B2 and B3 were also compared. The oocyte survival and fertilization, blastocyst and top-quality blastocyst developmental rates were not significantly different.Conclusions
The procedure of depositing the spermatozoon intentionally under the oocyte cortex demanded high technical skills. Successful positioning was only obtained in 34 % of the attempts. We obtained no evidence of improved oocyte survival and fertilization, blastocyst formation and quality when the spermatozoon was permanently positioned under the oocyte cortex. Taken together, depositing the spermatozoon under the oocyte cortex is not recommended for routine ICSI application. 相似文献12.

Purpose
The role of serum AMH levels in prediction of ovarian response in idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) was evaluated.Material method(s)
Twelve patients with IHH underwent controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) for IVF were enrolled in this prospective study. Serum AMH levels were studied on the 2nd or 3rd day of an induced menstrual cycle by a preceding low-dose oral contraceptive pill treatment. A fixed dose (150–300 IU/day) of hMG was given in all COH cycles. Correlations between serum AMH levels, COH outcomes and embryological data were investigated.Results
Mean serum AMH levels was 3.47 ± 2.15 ng/mL and mean serum peak estradiol was 2196 ± 1705 pg/mL. Mean number of follicles >14 mm, >17 mm on hCG day and MII oocytes were 4.14 ± 3.2, 4 ± 2.5 and 7.28 ± 3.5, respectively. Mean number of grade A embryos and transferred embryos were 3.28 ± 2.4 and 2.5 ± 0.7, respectively. The clinical pregnancy rate per patient was 41.6 % (5/12). Positive correlations were observed between serum AMH levels and MII oocytes (r = 0.84), grade A embryos (r = 0.85), serum peak estradiol levels (r = 0.87), and number of follicles >14 mm (r = 0.83) and >17 mm (r = 0.81) on hCG day, respectively.Conclusion
AMH appears as a promising marker of ovarian response in patients with IHH undergoing IVF. 相似文献13.

Purpose
To compare the results of intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection (IMSI) between cycles in which the swim-up (SUP) or the density gradient centrifugation (DGC) techniques were used for sperm preparation.Methods
We evaluated 70 IMSI cycles performed in women with age ≤ 37 years, undergoing IMSI as result of male factor. The couples were divided into two groups: DGC group (n = 26) and SUP group (n = 44). The groups were compared with regard to IMSI outcomes.Results
There were no significant differences between SUP and DGC groups regarding the number of follicles, oocytes, mature oocytes, oocyte yield and mature oocyte rate. Fertilization rate and high-quality embryos rate on day 5 of development were similar between SUP and DGC groups. Implantation, pregnancy and miscarriage rates were not statistically different between SUP and DGC groups (28.8 vs 33.3 %, 46.2 vs 57.1 % and 8.3 vs 4.2 %, respectively).Conclusions
Both the SUP and the DGC techniques recover improved sperm fractions and result in similar IMSI outcomes. Further randomized trials analyzing both the quality of sperm through MSOME and the IMSI outcomes are needed to elucidate the role of sperm preparation techniques and morphology on IMSI outcomes. 相似文献14.

Purpose
This retrospective study analyzed fertilization protocols and pregnancy outcomes for oocytes with with narrow perivitelline space and heterogeneous zona pellucid (NPVS/HZP).Methods
In 63 in-vitro fertilization cycles filled with NPVS/HZP oocytes (abnormal oocytes group) and 521 cycles with normal oocytes (normal oocytes group), major clinical and laboratory parameters were recorded and compared in different fertilization cycles (conventional IVF cycles, rescue ICSI cycles, and traditional ICSI cycles).Results
NPVS/HZP oocytes meant lower MIIoocytes rates in both IVF and ICSI cycles compared with normal oocytes (p < 0.05). The 2PN rates for abnormal oocytes were significantly lower than those for normal oocytes in both conventional IVF cycles (58.8 % VS 71.3 %, P < 0.05) and rescue ICSI cycles (58.0 % VS 78.0 %, P = 0.0000). The high-quality embryo rates in normal oocytes groups were significantly higher than those in abnormal oocytes groups in different fertilization cycles (52.2 % VS 35.0 %, P < 0.01; 42.9 % VS 23.9 %, P < 0.001; 50.6 % VS 31.0 %, P = 0.0000, respectively). No clinical pregnancy was obtained from abnormal oocytes in 11 conventional IVF cycles. The clinical pregnancy rates in rescue ICSI and traditional ICSI cycles were comparatively lower in abnormal oocytes groups, but there was no significant difference as compared with normal oocytes groups (35.0 % VS 48.1 % and 26.7 % VS 50.7 %, P > 0.05, respectively).Conclusions
Retrieval of oocytes characterized by NPVS/PZP from cycle to cycle was one of the reasons for obscure infertility. ICSI may be the right way to avoid fertilization failure and get pregnancy in women with NPVS/HZP oocytes. 相似文献15.

Purpose
To evaluate the effect of different exposure temperatures during the dilution process on the survival rate of vitrified oocytes and following development.Methods
Patients were divided at random into two groups for different dilution temperature (20–22 °C, RT group; 37 °C,37 °C group) according to computer-generated random numbers on the day of oocyte warming. The survival and fertilization rates of vitrified oocytes as well as the implantation and clinical pregnancy rates of the resulting embryos were recorded.Results
A total of 662 and 676 oocytes were warmed in the 37 °C group and RT group, respectively, and significant difference was observed in the survival rate between 37 °C group (88.37 %) and RT group (79.88 %) (P = 0.0000). There was significant difference between the survival rate of 37 °Cgroup (87.27 %) and RT group (75.64 %) in nondonor patients (P = 0.0001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that dilution temperature (β = 0.079, P = 0.017) and clinical outcomes of fresh cycles (β = 0.063, P = 0.001) were significantly and independently associated with survival rate. No significant difference was found between the 37 °C group and RT group in: fertilization rate (66.67 versus 65.37 %), implantation rate (20.0 versus19.46 %), clinical pregnancy rate (37.5 versus 35.0 %).Conclusions
In conclusion, the results of this study give supportive evidence of the application of 37 °C in the dilution process, especially for oocytes of poor quality. Further studies with well-controlled experimental groups are needed to optimize protocols for human oocyte vitrification. 相似文献16.

Purpose
To evaluate possible differences in follicle and oocyte developmental competence after gonadotrophin treatment in sows of obese and lean genotypes.Methods
Follicle dynamics, ovulation rate and oocyte developmental competence to embryo were compared between females, of obese (n = 7) and lean genotypes (n = 10), treated with 1,250 I.U. of eCG and 500 I.U. of hCG.Results
The obese genotype showed lower numbers of follicles growing to preovulatory stages (12.4 ± 1.8 vs 18.6 ± 1.0, P < 0.05), of corpora lutea (16.0 ± 0.9 vs 23.5 ± 0.9, P < 0.05), and of recovered oocytes/embryos (8.0 ± 1.3 vs 12.9 ± 0.9, P < 0.05). Thereafter, embryo viability rates also decreased when compared to lean genotypes (62.5 vs 77.6%, P < 0.05).Discussion
To our knowledge, this is the first study analyzing the effect of obese genotypes on the ovarian response to exogenous gonadotrophins in a non-rodent animal model, the pig. A lower efficiency of gonadotrophin treatments for stimulation of follicle development and induction of ovulation was observed. 相似文献17.

Purpose
Only 50–60 % of immature human oocytes attain the mature stage in vitro. Such a deficiency may be a reflection of inadequate conditions of in vitro maturation (IVM) or a manifestation of intrinsic oocyte defects. In the present study, we explored the possibility that the DNA of immature oocytes may be damaged and that such a condition, or inability to trigger a repair action, is associated to germinal vesicle (GV) arrest.Methods
Immature oocytes (GV-stage oocytes) were obtained from women undergoing stimulated (Stim-C) or IVM (IVM-C) cycles. GV oocytes obtained from stimulated cycles were fixed for successive analysis either after recovery (T0) or following 30 h (T30) of culture if still arrested at the GV stage. Oocytes retrieved in IVM cycles were used only if they were found arrested at the GV stage after 30 h (T30) of culture. All oocytes were fixed and stained to detect chromatin and actin. They were also assessed for positivity to γH2AX and Rad51, markers revealing the presence of double-strand DNA breaks and the activation of a DNA repair response, respectively. Labelled oocytes were analysed using a Leica TCS SP2 laser scanning confocal microscope.Results
In Stim-C oocytes, γH2AX positivity was 47.5 and 81.5 % in the T0 and T30 groups, respectively (P = 0.003), while γH2AX-positive oocytes were 58.3 % in the IVM-C T30 group (Stim-C T0 vs. IVM-C T30, P = 0.178; Stim-C T30 vs. IVM-C T30, P = 0.035). Positivity for nuclear staining to Rad51 occurred in 42.1 and 74.1 % of Stim-C in the T0 and T30 subgroups, respectively (T = 0.006), while 66.7 % of IVM-C T30 oocytes resulted positive for a DNA repair response (Stim-C T0 vs. IVM-C T30, P = 0.010; Stim-C T30 vs. IVM-C T30, P = 0.345).Conclusions
The present data document the existence of double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) in human immature oocytes. Also, they are consistent with the hypothesis that insults to DNA integrity may be an important factor affecting meiotic resumption. 相似文献18.

Objectives
To study correlation between ovarian reserve with biophysical markers (antral follicle count and ovarian volume) and biochemical markers (S. FSH, S. Inhibin B, and S. AMH) and use these markers to predict poor ovarian response to ovarian induction.Methods
This is a prospective observational study. One hundred infertile women attending the Obst & Gynae Dept, KGMU were recruited. Blood samples were collected on day 2/day 3 for assessment of S. FSH, S. Inhibin B, and S. AMH and TVS were done for antral follicle count and ovarian volume. Clomephene citrate 100 mg 1OD was given from day 2 to 6, and patients were followed up with serial USG measurements. The numbers of dominant follicles (> or = 14 mm) at the time of hCG administration were counted. Patients with <3 follicles in the 1st cycle were subjected to the 2nd cycle of clomephene 100 mg 1OD from day 2 to day 6 with Inj HMG 150 IU given i.m. starting from day 8 and every alternate day until at least one leading follicle attained ≥18 mm. Development of <3 follicles at end of the 2nd cycle was considered as poor response.Results
Univariate analyses showed that s. inhibin B presented the highest (ROCAUC = 0.862) discriminating potential for predicting poor ovarian response, In multivariate logistic regression model, the variables age, FSH, AMH, INHIBIN B, and AFC remained significant, and the resulting model showed a predicted accuracy of 84.4 %.Conclusion
A derived multimarker computation by a logistic regression model for predicting poor ovarian response was obtained through this study. Thus, potential poor responders could be identified easily, and appropriate ovarian stimulation protocol could be devised for such pts. 相似文献19.

Purpose
The aim of this study was to determine the best combination in terms of cryopreservation techniques and vascular bed preparation before grafting in order to obtain functional ovarian tissue after transplantation.Methods
Five cynomolgus monkeys were used. Strips from 10 ovaries were cryopreserved, 5 by vitrification (V), and 5 by slow-freezing (SF). Pieces of fresh ovarian tissue were used for controls. After 1 month, the strips were autografted to two different vascular beds, healed (HB) or freshly decorticated (FDB), constituting four study groups: SF-HB, SF-FDB, V-HB, and V-FDB. These were compared to fresh tissue. After 6 months, the ovaries were removed and several parameters analyzed: follicle quality, stage, density, proliferation, apoptosis, functionality, vascularization, and fibrosis. Mixed effect linear regression models were built to assess the impact of cryopreservation and vascular bed preparation on ovarian tissue viability and functionality. p values were adjusted for multiple testing using the Benjamini-Hochberg method, and q values < 0.20 were considered significant in order to achieve a 20 % false discovery rate.Results
Compared to fresh tissue, no difference was observed in the percentage of morphologically normal follicles, while a significant increase was noted in the follicle proliferation rate (41 %, q = 0.19), percentage of antral follicles (12 %, q = 0.14), and number of vessels per area (3.3 times, q = 0.07) in the V-FDB group.Conclusions
Vitrification associated with FDB vascular bed preparation is the best combination to obtain functional autografted ovarian tissue. Further studies are nevertheless required, with confirmed pregnancies and live births before introducing the procedure into clinical practice.Electronic supplementary material
