Purpose: To evaluate different factors that might affect the incidence of embryo aneuploidy in intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles (ICSI).

Methods: One hundred and ninety ICSI cycles in conjunction with preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) were included. The influence of the following variables on the aneuploidy incidence was evaluated: (i) maternal and (ii) paternal ages, (iii) dose of FSH administered, (iv) dose of FSH per number of retrieved matured oocytes (FSH/MII), (v) serum 17β-oestradiol levels on the ovulation trigger day, (vi) aspirated follicles and (vii) retrieved oocytes.

Results: A total of 440 embryos were successfully biopsied, of which 240 were considered euploid and 200 were considered aneuploid. The paternal age (Slope: 0.2, p = 0.372), total dose of FSH (Slope: 0.2, p = 0.218), FSH/MII (Slope: 0.1, p = 0.296) and 17β-oestradiol levels (Slope: 0.2, p = 0.378) were not correlated with the presence of aneuploidy. However, the maternal age (Slope: 1.7, p < 0.01), aspirated follicles (Slope: 1.9, p < 0.01) and retrieved oocytes (Slope: 2.6, p < 0.01) were negatively correlated with the incidence of aneuploidy.

Conclusions: Even in older patients, lower oocyte yields may represent a more appropriate response to ovarian stimulation, allowing the most competent follicles and oocytes to develop and thereby reducing the occurrence of embryo aneuploidy.

Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETS) are common intracranial tumors, but extrasellar or ectopic PitNETS are very rare and supposed to originate from some pituitary remnants. They are mostly found in sphenoidal sinus. But particularly, ectopic clival PitNETS are highly aggressive and can cause bone invasion and can be misdiagnosed as other lesions of the skull base such as chordomas.

Background: Cranial radiotherapy for extrapituitary brain tumor is a rare cause of acquired pituitary deficiency. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the incidence and time onset of pituitary deficit and to investigate predictive factors.

Material And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 246 patients referred to our endocrinology department between 2005 and 2021 for hormone testing after radiotherapy for extra-pituitary brain tumor.

Protective effects of dietary supplementation of Bacillus Subtilis MZ18 against the reproductive toxicity of zearalenone in pregnant rats.

Key Laboratory for Crop and Animal Integrated Farming of Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Institute of Animal Science, Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China. Electronic address:

The microbial detoxification method demonstrates significant potential for detoxifying feed contaminated with mycotoxins, but the application of degrading bacteria in mammals was rarely investigated. In this study, the effects of dietary zearalenone on the growth performance, reproductive performance, reproductive organs, hormone levels of rats and the toxicity alleviation of Bacillus subtilis MZ18 were studied. From gestation day 0-20, pregnant SD rats received either a normal diet or a diet supplemented with zearalenone at a dose of 20 mg/kg⋅BW, and with or without supplementation of Bacillus subtilis MZ18 culture.

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) with wide-range prevalence, affecting 5-18% of females of reproductive age, and its substantive role as a primary etiological factor in anovulatory infertility, with up to 80% of such cases attributed to this syndrome having particular significance.

Objectives: The current research delineates the outcomes of a meticulous inquiry into the efficacy of Fagonia indica-coated chitosan nanoparticles (FICNPs) in ameliorating the prevalent and clinically consequential PCOS in female Wistar rats.

Methodology: FICNPs were synthesized by using a methanolic extract of F.
