چکیده

In the present study, embryo transfer was performed using frozen-thawed embryos to establish a SPF colony of human apolipoprotein (a) (apo(a)) transgenic rabbits. Apo(a) transgenic rabbits were kept under conventional condition and were infected with Bordetella bronchiseptica. Embryos at the morula stage were collected and stored in liquid nitrogen. After thawing, the in vitro survival rate was 84.6%, and 125 morphologically normal embryos were transferred to 6 SPF recipient rabbits. Four rabbits became pregnant and 23 live pups were born. PCR and Western blot analyses revealed that 9 of 23 pups were transgenic and expressed apo(a) protein. Microbiological tests showed all rabbits were free from infections. We succeeded in establishing a SPF colony of apo(a) transgenic rabbits. These rabbits are now maintained under a barrier system and are available for medical research.

I-29: Luteal Phase Support in Frozen-Thawed Embryo Transfer Cycle

Cumulative pregnancy rate has been significantly increased since frozen-thawed embryo transfer was applied in ART cycles. This method has become an essential part of IVF/ICSI treatment. Luteal phase support has been proven to be associated with higher rate of live birth rate. Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), and progestrone have been successfully used for luteal phase support in ovarian stim...

I-29: Can Fresh Embryo Transfers Be Replacedby Cryopreserved-Thawed Embryo Transfers inAssisted Reproductive Cycles? A RandomizedControlled Trial

Background: Controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) has been shown to advance endometrial maturation and affect adversely implantation in assisted reproduction technology (ART) cycles. It has been reported that there is a better embryo-endometrium synchrony in frozenthawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles than fresh embryo transfer (ET) cycles. The Background of this study was to compare ongoing pregn...

Background: The objective of this study was to compare the pregnancy rate of Frozen-thawed Embryo Transfer (FET) on natural versus hormone replacement therapy (HRT) cycle endometrium, in patients with repeated IVF failure (RIF). Materials and Methods: In this observational study, the pregnancy rate after FET on natural endometrium in patients with RIF and previously poor endometrium (<7mm) on H...
