Purpose: This study aimed to identify demographic and clinical factors associated with low maturation rates and to investigate if the rate of immature oocytes impacts the outcomes of mature sibling oocytes.
Methods: Women undergoing their first IVF-ICSI cycle between 2018 and 2022 at a fertility clinic were included. Cycles were classified into five groups according to the proportion of Metaphase II stage oocytes (MII): Null (0% MII, n = 46), Poor (1-25% MII, n = 44), Low (26-50% MII, n = 453), Acceptable (51-75% MII, n = 1641), and Optimal (76-100% MII, n = 2642). Demographic characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared between the five groups. In patients with a Null/Poor maturation rate, subsequent cycle outcomes were also evaluated.
Results: A total of 4826 cycles were included in the study; 69,909 oocytes were recovered, and 53,065 were MIIs (75.9%). The Null group was older, had lower levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), needed more gonadotropins and days of stimulation, had higher follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels on day 3, and had less follicles > 15 mm on the day of trigger. When the outcomes of mature oocytes were compared, fertilization, usable blastocyst, aneuploidy, and life birth rates were comparable among groups. A binary logistic regression model using number of oocytes, paternal age, and trigger type with live birth rate endpoint found no differences between the categories and the base line Poor category. When patients whose maturation rate was Null/Poor, 42 (47.0%) carried out a second cycle; the maturation rate increased (56.9 ± 31.5 vs. 11.6 ± 11.2%, P < 0.0001).
Conclusion: Our data suggest that poor responders are more likely to have low rates of oocyte maturation. The proportion of immature oocytes does not impact the outcomes of mature sibling oocytes. In patients with Null/Poor maturation in their first cycle, the subsequent cycle is often associated with improved maturation rates.

The small-sized cervid Procervulus is considered as the most basal member of the Cervidae and one of the earliest ruminants bearing antler-like appendages. The Iberian Miocene record of this stem-cervid is extensively documented and largely overlaps with the Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO), a transient period of global warming of particular interest when comparing present and near future conditions. Despite receiving a substantial amount of attention, histological studies on Procervulus are very scarce and only limited to postcranial remains of Procervulus praelucidus from Germany (MN3).

Bacterial plant diseases, worsened by biofilm-mediated resistance, are increasingly threatening global food security. Numerous attempts have been made to develop agrochemicals that inhibit biofilms, however, their ineffective foliar deposition and difficulty in removing mature biofilms remain major challenges. Herein, multifunctional three-component supramolecular nano-biscuits (NI6R@CB[7]@β-CD) are successfully engineered via ordered self-assembly between two macrocycles [cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]), β-cyclodextrin (β-CD)] and (R)-2-naphthol-based bis-imidazolium bromide salt (NI6R).

Chlorogenic acid (CGA) has strong antioxidant properties. In order to improve the low maturation rate and poor vitrification freezing effect of sheep oocytes caused by oxidative stress. In this study, oocytes from 200 2-3-year-old Kazakh sheep were collected, and different concentrations of CGA were added to the maturation medium and vitrification freezing solution to study the effects of CGA on the maturation rate, cleavage rate, blastocyst rate, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione (GSH) levels, mitochondrial membrane potential, and the expression levels of oxidation and apoptosis-related genes in sheep oocytes.

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to establish if there is a relationship between body mass index (BMI) and skeletodental development in young obese patients in comparison with normal-weight patients. The sample consisted of 178 individuals (115 normal weight, 37 overweight and 26 obese), aged 6 to 16 years, with a mean biological age of 11.96 ± 2.

Increasing evidence has demonstrated that oxidative stress impairs oocyte maturation and embryonic development. Conventionally, antioxidants have been applied systems to improve oocyte maturation and blastocyst rates. Formononetin (FMN) is a flavonoid that has been shown to have various pharmacological effects, including antioxidants.
