[Mg2+]o/[Ca2+]o determines Ca2+ response at fertilization: tuning of adult phenotype? [in Mouse]
.. Analyses demonstrate that eggs generated two times as many Ca2+ oscillations in KSOM as in M16 media (18.8±7.0 vs 9.2±2.5). Moreover, the time increment of the delay between two consecutive oscillations, named TIbO, is the most sensitive coefficient characterizing the mechanism that paces Ca2+ oscillations once the egg has been fertilized.
Unexplained recurrent miscarriages are associated with an aberrant sperm protamine mRNA content
When comparing recurrent miscarriage couples with couples undergoing IVF/ICSI, Ct-values of protamine-1 and protamine-2 mRNAs were significantly higher and the protamine mRNA ratio was significantly lower in RM couples (P < 0.01). Although the exact mechanism remains to be elucidated, our data suggest that protamine mRNA levels in spermatozoa are not only important for successful fertilization, but also for proper development of the early embryo
Analysis of the morphological dynamics of blastocysts after vitrification/warming: defining new predictive variables of implantation
The analysis of warmed blastocysts by time-lapse imaging may provide objective quantitative markers for the blastocyst implantation potential. We propose a hierarchical model to classify vitrified/warmed blastocysts according to their implantation probability. The observed correlations and the proposed algorithm should be validated in a prospective trial to evaluate its efficacy.
Semen quality and pregnancy loss in a contemporary cohort of couples recruited before conception: data from the Longitudinal Investigation of Fertilit
Although a few trends were identified (e.g., DNA fragmentation), general semen parameters seemed to have little relation with risk of pregnancy loss or recurrent pregnancy loss at the population level. However, given that 30% of pregnancies end in miscarriage and half the fetal genome is paternal in origin, the findings await corroboration
Preferential selection and transfer of euploid noncarrier embryos in preimplantation genetic diagnosis cycles for reciprocal translocations
The combination of mate pair sequencing and PCR breakpoint analysis of balanced reciprocal translocation derivatives is a novel, reliable, and accurate strategy for distinguishing between carrier and noncarrier balanced/euploid embryos. The method has potential application in clinical PGD cycles for patients with reciprocal translocations or other structural rearrangements.
The superovulated environment, independent of embryo vitrification, results in low birthweight in a mouse model
We found that superovulation of the recipient dams led to significantly lower fetal weight at term while blastocyst vitrification had no significant effect on fetal weight (1.43 ± 0.24 g fresh-natural, 1.30 ± 0.28 g vitrified-natural vs. 1.09 ± 0.20 fresh-superovulated, 0.93 ± 0.23 g vitrified-superovulated, P < 0.0001).
Curvilinear relationship between age and assisted reproduction technique success: retrospective analyses of US National ART Surveillance System data f
A dataset was created with 488,351 cycles. Success rates changed with age following well–fitted, ∩:–shaped curvilinear (quadratic, cubic, quartic) regressions- . Miscarriage followed similar but reverse ∪:–shaped curvilinear regressions. Age–driven decline in success rates begins <30 years and occurs at increasing rates, suggesting that women >30 years old with infertility should not delay assisted reproduction, if it is their only opti
Serum antimüllerian hormone levels are independently related to miscarriage rates after in vitro fertilization–embryo transfer
Result(s): In patients displaying reduced serum AMH levels, miscarriage rates were significantly increased independently from age and the number of oocytes retrieved. Conclusion(s): The present data indicate that serum AMH levels are independently associated with the occurrence of a miscarriage after IVF-ET.
A transportation network for human ovarian tissue is indispensable to success for fertility preservation
Conclusions: This model has been termed the Danish model (the woman stays - the tissue moves). This is truly patient-centered medicine. We can have maximum effects with the minimum burden. A transportation network like those of Denmark and Germany is the best strategy for FP in Japan. It may be the best system for cancer patients, medical staff, and the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare.
Sirtuin 1 Levels in Recurrent Implantation Failure
Recurrent implantation failure patients have higher sirtuin 1 levels than non-pregnant women and healthy pregnant women, but this difference did not reach statistical significance due to the low number of patients in our study. These higher sirtuin 1 levels may result from the inflammation imbalance of RIF patients. The only statistically significant correlation found was between age and sirtuin (r ::= ::0.277, p ::= ::0.009)
In an article in Biology of Reproduction, Weinerman et.al used a superovulation, pseudopregnant mouse model to examine the effects of superovulation and vitrification on fetal weights. They reported that superovulation (possibly by a reduction in placental blood flow) resulted in signification lower fetal birthweights from either fresh of vitrified mouse embryos. This is one more piece of information that transferring fresh embryos may result in the birth of lighter babies.// Given the associations between birth weight and adult illness (the Barker hypotheses - Fetal origins of adult disease) maybe more information needs to be given to IVF clients during workup as to whether the best embryos should be transferred either fresh or after vitrification.// Currently the best embryos are transferred into a superovulated uterine environment and therefore the majority of IVF babies are born from this environment. While the weight of all (most) IVF babies are recorded and documented, there is little appetite to follow these babies to adulthood. Imagine if in 40 years times, IVF is negatively correlated with coronary illness. At some point in time, a position cannot be defended when at the time of service, there was knowledge that Fresh but not frozen transfers were associated with lower birth weights. Far better going forward that the client was given the option for a fresh or frozen tranfer of their better embryos.
