This case report demonstrates the management of primary infertility in a couple: the male was 37 years old and the female was 32 years old. The female had a submucosal uterine fibroid. Later, the female underwent a myomectomy to remove submucosal fibroids in the uterus after two failed intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles. After six months of her recovery period, she underwent ovum pickup for an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle. During the process of ovum pickup (OPU), four oocytes were retrieved: three in the metaphase one (M1) stage and one in the metaphase two (M2) stage. Subsequently, the couple underwent in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes, where the M1 stage oocytes were cultured for six hours. The M1 stage oocytes progressed to the M2 stage. These oocytes were then injected with sperm, which resulted in the formation of two blastocysts. These blastocysts were then cryopreserved for three months, and after three months, these frozen embryos were then transferred, leading to the successful conception. The case study evaluates a couple who suffered from infertility. This study includes a treatment of myomectomy and in vitro maturation.

Impact of blastocyst biopsy for preimplantation genetic testing on maternal and neonatal outcomes following single frozen embryo transfer cycles.

BMC Pregnancy Childbirth

January 2025

Assisted Reproduction Center, Northwest Women's and Children's Hospital, No. 73 Houzai Gate, Xincheng District, Xi'an, 710003, Shaanxi province, People's Republic of China.

Background: Up to now, a number of studies have explored the influence of blastocyst biopsy on maternal and neonatal outcomes, and the results have been somewhat inconsistent. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate whether blastocyst biopsy is associated with an elevated risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and other adverse perinatal outcomes during frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles in singleton live births resulting from intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in women aged ≤ 35 years.

Methods: A total of 1,008 women were involved in this study from January 2020 to June 2022, who underwent ICSI cycles and received single FET, leading to the birth of a live singleton newborn.

Oocyte/zygote/embryo maturation arrest: a clinical study expanding the phenotype of NOBOX variants.

J Assist Reprod Genet

January 2025

Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel (UZ Brussel), Clinical Sciences, Research Group Genetics, Reproduction and Development, Centre for Medical Genetics, Laarbeeklaan 101, 1090, Brussels, Belgium.

Purpose: Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is an important cause of female infertility, stemming from follicle dysfunction or premature oocyte depletion. Pathogenic variants in genes such as NOBOX, GDF9, BMP15, and FSHR have been linked to POI. NOBOX, a transcription factor expressed in oocytes and granulosa cells, plays a pivotal role in folliculogenesis.

Dietary Advanced Glycation End Products and Superovulation with Gonadotropins Alters RAGE expression in the Ovaries Differently at Each Follicular Stage of Development.

Mol Cell Endocrinol

January 2025

Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, NY, USA; Reproductive Medicine Associates of New York, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science, Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, USA.

The purpose of this study was to examine the deposition of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and their receptors, RAGE, in ovarian follicles during folliculogenesis in mice fed high (H-AGE) or low (L-AGE) AGE diets and following superovulation with gonadotropins. We hypothesize that H-AGE diet is associated with increased AGE deposition and RAGE expression in various stages of ovarian follicular development, and superovulation with gonadotropins may alter these changes. C57BL/6J mice were fed low L-AGE (n=10) or H-AGE (n=10) diet for 12 weeks.

Background: The oocyte retrieval is a critical step in assisted reproductive technologies, including in vitro fertilization and fertility preservation. Despite evolving techniques, the optimal aspiration pressure during retrieval remains debatable, with limited in vivo human studies. Existing studies, primarily in vitro and on animals, suggest that inappropriate aspiration pressures can impair oocyte quality.
