Purpose: This study investigated the incidence and microbial etiology of embryo contamination in assisted reproductive technology (ART), and its influence on embryo development, pregnancy and neonatal outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on embryo contamination at the Reproductive Centre of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, between 2018 and 2021.
Results: In the period from 2018 to 2021, the average incidence of embryo contamination was 0.12%. Bacterial growth was observed in 39 cases, with a preponderance of (20, 51.28%), (7, 17.95%). The fertilization rate of contaminated embryos was 18.18% () to 94.79% (), the cleavage rate was 9.09% () to 98.90% (), and the available embryo rate of Day 3 was 0 () to 63.33% (). Blastocyst formation rate was 3.23% () to 64.29% (). contamination occurred mostly on Day 1, and on Days 3 and 5. After rinsing and rescuing treatment, six healthy male babies were born.
Conclusion: and were the most common bacterial embryo contaminants. Most microbial contamination can significantly decrease the fertilization rate. Embryo transfer after rinsing and continuing culture had no negative effect on neonatal outcomes, but there was an increased risk of early abortion due to contamination.

Background: Gestational exposure to non-persistent endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. While many EDCs affect the endocrine system, their effects on endocrine-related metabolic pathways remain unclear. This study aims to explore the global metabolome changes associated with EDC biomarkers at delivery.

Background: The early colonization and establishment of the microbiome in newborns is a crucial step in the development of the immune system and host metabolism. However, the exact timing of initial microbial colonization remains a subject of ongoing debate. While numerous studies have attempted to determine the presence or absence of intrauterine bacteria, the majority of them have drawn conclusions based on sequencing data from maternal or infant samples taken at a single time point.

The demand for food production has been growing exponentially due to the increase in the global population. Innovative approaches to enhance agricultural productivity have been explored, including the new applications of nanoparticles in agriculture. The nanoparticle application in agriculture can generate environmental and human health risks since nanoparticles can contaminate the soil and inevitably reach groundwater, potentially causing toxicity in aquatic organisms.

N-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD), a synthetic additive widely used in the rubber industry, and its oxidized product 6PPD-quinone (6PPDQ), have garnered widespread attention as an emerging hazardous chemicals owing to their potential detrimental effects on aquatic ecosystem and human health. The effects of 6PPD and 6PPDq on the female reproductive tract, especially embryo implantation, remain unknown and were investigated in this study. We used the spheroid attachment and outgrowth models of BeWo trophoblastic spheroids and Ishikawa cells as surrogates for the human blastocyst and endometrial epithelium, respectively.

Background: Mycotoxin, a secondary metabolite of fungus, found worldwide and concerning in crops and food, causes multiple acute and chronic toxicities. Its toxic profile includes hepatotoxicity, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, estrogenicity, immunotoxicity, and neurotoxicity, leading to deleterious impact on human and animal health. Emerging evidence suggests that it adversely affects perinatal health and progeny by its ability to cross placental barriers.
