Objective: To evaluate whether metaphase I (MI) oocytes completing maturation in vitro to metaphase II ("MI-MII oocytes") have similar developmental competence as the sibling metaphase II (MII) oocytes that reached maturity in vivo.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Academic medical center.
Patient(s): A total of 1,124 intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles from 800 patients at a single academic center between April 2016 and December 2020 with at least 1 MII oocyte immediately after retrieval and at least 1 sibling "MI-MII oocyte" that was retrieved as MI and matured to MII in culture before ICSI were included in the study.
Intervention(s): None.
Main Outcome Measure(s): A total of 7,865 MII and 2,369 sibling MI-MII oocytes retrieved from the same individuals were compared for the fertilization and blastocyst formation rates. For patients who underwent single euploid blastocyst transfers (n = 406), the clinical pregnancy, spontaneous pregnancy loss, and live birth rates were compared between the 2 groups.
Result(s): The fertilization rate was significantly higher in MII oocytes than in delayed matured MI-MII oocytes (75.9% vs. 56.1%). Similarly, the blastocyst formation rate was higher in embryos derived from MII oocytes than in those from MI-MII oocytes (53.8% vs. 23.9%). The percentage of euploid embryos derived from MII oocytes was significantly higher than that of those from MI-MII oocytes (49.2% vs. 34.7%). Paired comparison of sibling oocytes within the same cycle showed higher developmental competence of the MII oocytes than that of MI-MII oocytes. However, the pregnancy, spontaneous pregnancy loss, and live birth rates after a single euploid blastocyst transfer showed no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (MII vs. MI-MII group, 65.7% vs. 74.1%, 6.4% vs. 5.0%, and 61.5% vs. 70.0%, respectively).
Conclusion(s): Compared with oocytes that matured in vivo and were retrieved as MII, the oocytes that were retrieved as MI and matured to MII in vitro before ICSI showed lower developmental competence, including lower fertilization, blastocyst formation, and euploidy rates. However, euploid blastocysts from either cohort resulted in similar live birth rates, indicating that the MI oocytes with delayed maturation can still be useful even though the overall developmental competence was lower than that of their in vivo matured counterparts.

Research Question: Does a short co-incubation of gametes in conventional IVF affect post-insemination outcomes and embryo morphokinetics?
Design: Sibling oocyte randomized pilot study conducted between December 2020 and March 2023. Eligible couples (n = 55) were women aged 18-43 years with BMI 35 km/m or lower and male normal semen parameters. Cumulus oocyte complexes (COC) (six to 12) were randomized in a 1:1:2 proportion in long (16-18 h) or short (2 h) co-incubation IVF exposure and ICSI, respectively.
A phosphate-binding pocket in cyclin B3 is essential for XErp1/Emi2 degradation in meiosis I.

To ensure the correct euploid state of embryos, it is essential that vertebrate oocytes await fertilization arrested at metaphase of meiosis II. This MII arrest is mediated by XErp1/Emi2, which inhibits the ubiquitin ligase APC/C (anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome). Cyclin B3 in complex with Cdk1 (cyclin-dependent kinase 1) is essential to prevent an untimely arrest of vertebrate oocytes in meiosis I by targeting XErp1/Emi2 for degradation.

Research Question: Can machine learning tools predict the number of metaphase II (MII) oocytes and trigger day at the start of the ovarian stimulation cycle?
Design: A multicentre, retrospective study including 56,490 ovarian stimulation cycles (primary dataset) was carried out between 2020 and 2022 for analysis and feature selection. Of these, 13,090 were used to develop machine learning models for trigger day and the number of MII prediction, and another 5103 ovarian stimulation cycles (clinical validation dataset) from 2023 for clinical validation. Machine learning algorithms using deep learning were developed using optimal features from the primary dataset based on correlation.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Pyridostigmine on IGF-1 and GH levels and the outcomes of COS cycles in women with POR.
Methods: A total of 110 eligible women were randomly allocated to Pyridostigmine (n: 55) and control (n: 55) groups. COS outcomes, including gonadotrophin doses, COS duration, cycle cancellation rate, number of retrieved oocytes, number of MII oocytes, and fertilization rate, were compared between the groups.

Background: The process of maturing ovine oocyte in vitro has not yet been raised with acceptable results.
Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the γ-oryzanol effect as a supplement of maturation media on the development of ovine oocytes to blastocyst.
Methods: Aspirated from ovine ovaries, morphologically normal cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were matured in media supplemented with or without 5 µM γ-oryzanol.
