A cohort comprising a total of 447 oocyte aspirations due to male factors (n = 258) or to previous fertilization failure by IVF in the presence of normal sperm parameters (n = 189) was studied. We found a significantly reduced implantation and pregnancy rate per transfer in the group with previously failed IVF attempts compared to the male factor group (P < 0.001). No differences were found in age, number of oocytes retrieved, number of embryos transferred or quality of embryos scored at the time of transfer. However, the fertilization and cleavage rates were found to be reduced in the group with previous failed IVF cycles. It is therefore concluded that previous fertilization failure despite normal sperm parameters in an IVF cycle may not be alleviated by the intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) procedure. These patients might suffer from oocyte defects as well.

[Impact of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist on pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles for patients with recurrent implantation failure combined with chronic endometritis].

To explore the impact of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) on the pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles for patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) complicated by chronic endometriti (CE). A total of 138 patients with RIF combined with CE who underwent in vitro fertilization/intracytoplamic sperm injection treatment-embryo transfer in the Department of Reproductive Medicine, Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2020 to December 2023 were retrospectively included. According to the endometrial preparation protocol, they were divided into two groups: the pituitary downregulation group (=59) and the artificial cycle group (=79).

Isthmoceles are defects related to Caesarean section (CS) scars, known to cause secondary infertility and interfere with in-vitro fertilization in women who have had Caesarean deliveries. The etiologies are multifactorial. Isthmoceles, similar to dehiscent CS scars, can be potential sites for ectopic pregnancies and abnormal placentation.

Objective: Successful embryo implantation is contingent upon the intricate interaction between the endometrium and the blastocyst. Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) signifies the clinical challenge of failing pregnancy post-transfer of high-quality embryos, fresh or frozen, in at least three in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, often in women under 40 years. Recent studies identify impaired blastocyst maternal tissue communication among recurrent implantation failure causes.

Although the use of foliar spraying with organic matter has been extensively studied and applied to reduce heavy metals in plants, research on its application for reducing mercury (Hg) accumulation in plants, particularly the more toxic methylmercury (MeHg), remains scarce. Furthermore, previous researches on the barrier mechanisms of foliar spraying primarily concentrated on the effects of spraying agents on plant physiological and biochemical indicators, with limited focus on their impacts on soil environment. Herein, the dynamic effects and mechanisms of organic foliar spraying materials, including earthworm liquid fertilizer (ELF), Tween 80 (T80), and citric acid (CA), on soil Hg methylation and accumulation in lettuce were investigated using pot experiment.

Study Question: Is there a difference in the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) after fresh testicular sperm aspiration (TESA) compared with the use of either pre-frozen sperm or oocyte freezing for couples experiencing ejaculation failure on the day of oocyte retrieval?
Summary Answer: After adjusting for confounding factors, the use of pre-frozen sperm or the freezing and thawing of oocytes appeared to be as effective as TESA in achieving CLBRs for couples experiencing temporary ejaculation failure.
What Is Known Already: Male patients may be concerned about experiencing temporary ejaculation failure on the day of their partner's oocyte retrieval, in which case they may choose surgical sperm retrieval, oocyte freezing on the day, or have their sperm frozen in advance. However, the clinical efficacy of these three options has not yet been evaluated.
