Article Synopsis
  • - The study compared physiological intracytoplasmic sperm injection (PICSI) and regular intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in terms of fertilization rates and the quality of embryos using sibling oocytes from 76 couples undergoing their first cycle at a reproductive center in Vietnam.
  • - Both methods showed similar fertilization rates and embryo quality overall, but PICSI significantly improved the blastulation rate in cases with low sperm DNA fragmentation compared to ICSI.
  • - The findings suggest that while there is no overall benefit of PICSI over ICSI for embryo outcomes when sperm quality is variable, PICSI does yield better results in blastocyst formation under low DNA fragmentation conditions.

Objective: As the associations of sperm DNA fragmentation with morphology have not been examined in detail, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between abnormalities of morphological details and DNA integrity in human sperm.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, men from infertile couples were enrolled at Hue Center for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Vietnam. Conventional semen parameters, including morphological details, were analyzed following the World Health Organization 2010 criteria.

Background: A direct association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and sperm production/function has been proposed. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to determine the impact of MetS on sperm survival. Men from infertile couples treated at Hue University Hospital, Vietnam, were enrolled in this study, which spanned the October 2018 to October 2020 period.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the role of sperm DNA fragmentation as a marker that could predict early pregnancy loss (EPL), either independently or in combination with another marker or markers, after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles.

Methods: This prospective descriptive cohort study retrieved data from 162 couples who underwent their first ICSI cycles at the Center for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility of Hue University Hospital in Vietnam from May 2018 to December 2019. General characteristics, semen parameters, sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI), fertilization, embryo development, pregnancy rates, and EPL were assessed.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the association between sperm quality assessed by routine semen analysis and sperm DNA integrity assay.

Methods: In our cross-sectional study, a total of 318 men from the infertile couples were enrolled from December 2017 to March 2019 at the Hue Center for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Vietnam. General characteristics and semen parameters were detected.
