Three-hundred-and-two unfertilized oocytes left over from successful in-vitro fertilization (IVF) attempts in 143 women (27-42 years) on a follicular stimulating hormone-human menopausal gonadotrophin (FSH-HMG) stimulation regime were subjected to chromosome analysis. Ten oocytes were degenerated with no visible chromosomes and 41 metaphases had chromosomes that were clumped together which could not be interpreted either numerically or structurally. Of the remaining oocytes, 76.6% (192/251) had a normal haploid complement (n = 23), 13% (33/251) were hypohaploid (n = 19-22), 8% (20/251) were hyperhaploid (n = 24-26), 2% (5/251) were diploid (2n = 46) and 0.4% (1/251) had structural rearrangements. The 21% aneuploidy was from 24 different patients and hypohaploid sets had chromosomes missing mainly from the A, B, C, D and G groups while the hyperhaploid sets had extra chromosomes from A, B, D, G and E groups of the human karyotype. The mean age of patients showing aneuploid oocytes was 36.7 years which was above the mean for the entire group. The aneuploidy may have been brought about by errors in oogenesis (anaphase lagging or non-disjunction) and may offer one explanation for fertilization failure and overall low pregnancy rates after IVF.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) on human granulosa cell growth and elucidate its regulatory mechanisms.
Methods: A human non-luteinizing granulosa cell line (HGrC) developed from small antral follicles was used to assess the impact of CNP on cell proliferation and estrogen synthesis. cGMP production via the guanylate cyclase domain of the CNP receptor, natriuretic peptide receptor 2 (NPR2), was confirmed.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms associated with chromosome segregation errors caused by intrinsic oxidative stress during in vitro oocyte maturation (IVM) using oocytes from -deficient (KO) mice.
Methods: Ovulated or in vitro matured cumulus-cells oocyte complexes (COCs) were collected from wild-type (WT) and KO mice and evaluated chromosome alignment, chromosome segregation, meiotic progression, and BUBR1 and REC8 protein expression levels.
Results: In 21% O IVM, the KO had significantly higher frequencies of chromosome misalignment and segregation errors compared to the WT, and they also reached Germinal Vesicle Break Down (GVBD) and M I stages peak earlier and showed a shorter M I stage residence time compared to the WT.
A cycle-based model to predict no usable blastocyst formation following cycles of in vitro fertilization in patients with normal ovarian reserve.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a predictive model for the risk of no usable blastocyst formation in patients with normal ovarian reserve undergoing IVF.
Methods: The model was derived from 7,901 patients who underwent their first oocyte retrieval and subsequent blastocyst culture, of which 446 cases have no usable blastocysts formed. Univariate regression analyses, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis were used to identify the association of patient and cycle characteristics with the presence of no available blastocyst and to create a nomogram.
Associations of the levels of adipokines and cytokines in individual follicles with in vitro fertilization outcomes in women with different ovarian reserves.

Background: To a large extent, the ovarian reserve determines a woman's reproductive potential. The etiological and pathological mechanisms of diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) remain unclear, and no reliable treatment is currently available for DOR. Adipokines and cytokines in follicular fluid (FF) play pivotal roles in follicular development and maturation.

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA), characterized by the loss of two or more pregnancies, impacts approximately 1-2% of couples and poses a significant challenge for individuals of childbearing age. The precise mechanisms underlying RSA remain incompletely understood. Concurrently, the global prevalence of obesity is on the rise, with obesity being closely associated with female reproductive disorders and infertility.
