چکیده

This study examined the effects of human menopausal gonadotrophin (HMG) or human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) priming on cumulus-oocyte complex (COC) morphology, oocyte maturation and embryo development in patients undergoing in-vitro maturation (IVM) cycles. The patients were primed with nothing (group 1), low-dose HMG (group 2) or 10,000 IU HCG (group 3) before oocyte retrieval. COC with dispersed cumulus cell appearance was only observed in group 3. In addition, 11% of metaphase II stage oocytes at the time of retrieval were collected from group 3. Oocyte maturation in vitro in group 3 was faster than that in groups 1 and 2. The blastocyst development rate of residual embryos after embryo transfer in group 3 was significantly higher than that of groups 1 and 2 (P < 0.05). These results suggest that HCG priming may stimulate the COC, promote oocyte maturation, and improve developmental competence in IVM cycles.

In Vitro Maturation of Oocytes in Women at Risk of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome-A Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study

Objective In vitro maturation (IVM) is an artificial reproductive technology in which immature oocytes are harvested from the ovaries and subsequently matured in vitro. IVM does not require ovarian hyperstimulation and thus the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is avoided. In this multicenter prospective cohort study we assessed the live birth rate per initiated in vitro maturati...

Presence of Antioxidant in in vitro Maturation Medium and its Effects on Glutathione Level, Spindle Area and Rate of in vitro Fertilization

Background: Effect of different doses of cysteamine on rate of in vitro maturation (IVM), in vitro fertilization (IVF) and glutathione (GSH) level was studied. Metaphase II (MII) spindle area was analyzed for quantification of shape and size of oocytes. Methods: Female mice were primed with 5 IU of pregnant mare’s stimulating gonadotrophin. Germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes were retrieved 48 hrs la...

Background: The aim of this study was to assess effects of cysteamine as an anti-oxidant on rate of in vitro maturation of oocyte and determination of its effects on spindle size and shape. Methods: Pre-mature mice were primed with pregnant mare stimulating gonadotrophin (PMSG) and germinal vesicle (GV) stage oocytes were obtained 48 h after. The oocytes were cultured in tissue culture medium (...

Blastocyst development and pregnancies after IVF of mature oocytes retrieved from unstimulated patients with PCOS after in-vivo HCG priming.

A major side-effect of controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). In-vitro maturation (IVM) of immature oocytes represents a potential alternative for the fertility treatment of these patients. Two patients at high risk of OHSS were primed with 10,000 IU HCG 36 h before oocyte retrieval. After...

The Effect of follicular fluid on in Vitro Maturation of Mouse Immature Oocytes

Objective:In vitro maturation is a highly effective method for achieving mature  oocytes to treat infertility based on in vitro methods (IVF-ICSI). This technique is effective for treating women who suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCO) and cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: immature oocytes were obtained from 6-8 weeks old NMRI mice, 48 hours after intraperitoneal injection of 7.5 units of...
