چکیده
OBJECTIVE The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of an oral pretreatment with a mix of myo-inositol (Myo-Ins), folic acid, vitamin E, L-carnitine, L-arginine and selenium (Folandrol, Exeltis, Hungary) and subsequent direct Myo-Ins incubation of spermatozoa before Physiological Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (PICSI) procedures in infertile couples due to oligoasthenoteratozoospermia with previous failed PICSI procedures. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a prospective, randomized controlled trial at the Assisted Reproduction Unit of the Kaáli Institute (Győr, Hungary). The male partners were randomly assigned to two groups: the first one treated with a myo-Inositol-based supplement (Folandrol®, Exeltis, Hungary) for two months; the second one did not undergo any treatment in the same time range (controls). The semen of the treated group was incubated for 2 h with 2 mg/ml of MI (Andrositol Lab, Lo.Li. Pharma, Rome, Italy) for the PICSI protocol. RESULTS There was no significant difference for mean female partner age (p = 0.17) and mean previous failed PICSI procedures (p = 0.65) between the two groups. Although there was no significant difference (p = 0.85) regarding the rate of mature oocytes and the fertilization index was significantly higher (p < 0.001) in the treatment group than control group. Also, despite the comparable average number of transferred embryos between the two groups (p = 0.55), in the treatment group there was a significantly higher rate of good quality embryos at day 3 after fertilization (p = 0.001). Finally, 11 pregnancies were obtained only in the treatment group (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The combination of oral supplementation and semen incubation with MI in oligoasthenoteratozoospermic men could improve PICSI outcomes.

Objective Selection of sperm for intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is usually considered as the ultimate technique to alleviate male-factor infertility. In routine ICSI, selection is based on morphology and viability which does not necessarily preclude the chance injection of DNA-damaged or apoptotic sperm into the oocyte. Sperm with high negative surface electrical charge, named “Zeta p...

Background Failed fertilization occurs 1-3% in the infertile couples. Failure of oocyte activation (OA) is mainly attributed to failed fertilization. ICSI alone artificial oocyte activation (AOA) is only treatment approach for these individuals. Three procedures are introduced for AOA: chemical, mechanical and electrical. Most of the clinical Centers have commonly used ionomycin for activation ...
