体外受精胚胎移植中异常受精的原因分析

当前，体外受精-胚胎移植技术(in vito fertilization,IVF-ET)是治疗不孕不育问题的重要手段之一。1978年世界上第一例试管婴儿自英国诞生以来，已有成千上万的不孕不育夫妇通过这项技术获得了后代，随这项技术的发展，促排卵技术、配子的体外受精技术、胚胎的体外培养技术不断得到改善，但目前仍有许多夫妇因为各种原因导致不能受孕，受精失败就是原因之一。有文献指出：夫妇双方在排除男性不育的因素之后，传统IVF-ET的受精失败率仍然在2-3％[1]，受精失败的模式包括：卵子完全不受精及卵子的异常受精。临床上卵子完全不受精或受精率低时，可以通过补救ICSI来进行挽救，但卵子异常受精情况的发生目前还无法进行挽救，这导致卵子的利用率低下，增加了患者的经济与精神负担。因此，如何预防和降低异常受精的发生将成为改善IVF-ET总体结局的重要环节,本文拟将体外受精过程中出现的可能影响受精结局的问题进行逐一探讨。     

Biomedical microelectromechanical systems (BioMEMS): Revolution in drug delivery and analytical techniques

Advancement in microelectromechanical system has facilitated the microfabrication of polymeric substrates and the development of the novel class of controlled drug delivery devices. These vehicles have specifically tailored three dimensional physical and chemical features which together, provide the capacity to target cell, stimulate unidirectional controlled release of therapeutics and augment permeation across the barriers. Apart from drug delivery devices microfabrication technology’s offer exciting prospects to generate biomimetic gastrointestinal tract models. BioMEMS are capable of analysing biochemical liquid sample like solution of metabolites, macromolecules, proteins, nucleic acid, cells and viruses. This review summarized multidisciplinary application of biomedical microelectromechanical systems in drug delivery and its potential in analytical procedures.
