PVA has been used in tissue engineering scaffolds to provide suitable strength and adhesive properties to support cell adhesion and proliferation. The aim of the present study was to test a three-dimensional PVA matrix for human rescue oocyte maturation.Methods: Immature human oocytes and cumulus cells were obtained from patients undergoing conventional IVF cycles. Firstly, two replicates of cumulus cells exposed to PVA-BTCA matrices were performed to assess a possible cytotoxic effect of the matrix. Next, a total of 23 immature oocytes and respective cumulus cells were split between the control and PVA-BTCA-containing culture system for rescue IVM, at 38oC and 5%CO2.Results: Cumulus cells exposure to PVA matrix allows for cell survival and adhesion to the substrate, confirming its non-toxicity. The overall maturation rate in the PVA-BTCA culture system was 66.6% (n=10/15): 77.7% of VG (n=7/9) and 50% (n=3/6) of MI oocytes reached MII. The control culture received 8 VG oocytes, of which 37.5% (n=3) reached MI and 62.5% reached MII (n=5).Conclusions: PVA-BTCA-containing culture system may represent an alternative for human oocyte maturation procedures.","PeriodicalId":46364,"journal":{"name":"Jornal Brasileiro de Reproducao Assistida","volume":" ","pages":"448-451"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12469119/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144660706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The survey addressed various aspects of donor sperm treatment in women without previous infertility.Results: A total of 211 clinicians participated, with 63% working in private settings. The survey presented clinical scenarios for women aged 32, 37, and 40. Most clinicians (80%) recommended artificial insemination with donor sperm in a natural cycle (NC-AID) as the first-line treatment for a 32-year-old woman (52% suggested up to 3 cycles, 28% up to 6 cycles).

Modern PGT-A can detect mosaicism by analyzing copy number variations (CNVs) in embryonic biopsies, yet distinguishing true mosaicism from artifacts remains challenging. In a cohort of 22 embryos, NGS profiles revealed recurring artifacts on chromosomes 7, 11, 16, and 19. These artifacts likely result from errors in DNA amplification for NGS library preparation, potentially leading to false mosaicism diagnosis. The study utilized DNA extracted from trophectoderm biopsies, spent culture media, and whole blastocyst samples, with CNV analysis performed using BlueFuse Multi software. Quality control parameters such as DLR noise, read count, and quality score were considered, confirming that technical inconsistencies contribute to the observed artifacts. Findings align with prior research, suggesting the need for improved NGS protocols to minimize these errors. Enhanced internal validation and adoption of new technologies could reduce false-positive rates and improve clinical decision-making in PGT-A.","PeriodicalId":46364,"journal":{"name":"Jornal Brasileiro de Reproducao Assistida","volume":" ","pages":"548-551"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12469320/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144660714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increased cortisol levels can significantly affect tight junction proteins and dysregulate the implantation process. This study investigated the effect of exogenous synthetic Cortisol (Hydrocortisone) on the expression of specific genes encoding several junctional proteins in the endometrial epithelial cells.Methods: Following endometrium sampling from 25 participants, the biopsied tissue was digested and filtered through a cell strainer to prepare endometrial epithelial cells. After confluency, cells were treated with 50, 100, and 200 nM hydrocortisone concentrations and incubated for 24, 48, and 72 hr with repeated treatments every 24hr. qPCR analysis of 4 tight junction genes, including CLDN3, CLDN4, ZO-1, DSG1, and CDH1 was performed. Gene expressions were reported using a relative quantification method.Results: Higher tight junction gene expression was evident at higher concentrations of Hydrocortisone. A significant increase in expression of CLDN3, CLDN4, ZO-1, DSG1 and CDH1 was observed at 100 nm concentrations of Hydrocortisone compared with the control group during different treatment durations.Conclusions: In conclusion, Hydrocortisone treatment (at 100 nm concentration) significantly increased the expression of tight junction genes, suggesting that the blastocyst cannot infiltrate the endometrium readily, thus preventing implantation. Glucocorticoids can disrupt implantation by influencing tight junction molecule expression. Thus, the physicians must further investigate the effect of glucocorticoids treatments on implantation.","PeriodicalId":46364,"journal":{"name":"Jornal Brasileiro de Reproducao Assistida","volume":" ","pages":"473-480"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12469312/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144660729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The search spanned studies published in MEDLINE and Embase databases up to April 2024. Eight retrospective studies were included. The use of long GnRHa and antagonist protocol before COS exhibited significantly higher implantation rate compared to ultra-long GnRHa (OR 1.1, 95% CI 0.69-1.77 and OR 1.98, 95% CI 1.04-3.75, respectively), although no significant differences were observed in clinical and live birth rates.

Pretreatment with GnRHa before FET among women with adenomyosis did not improve reproductive outcomes. In conclusion, there is no evidence regarding benefit of long or ultra-long GnRHa protocol before COS or before FET among women with adenomyosis undergoing IVF. In fact, the use of long GnRHa seem to worsen reproductive outcomes compared to antagonist protocols.

Patients were split into three groups according to the pregnancy outcome: Biochemical Group (n=30 cycles/54 transferred embryos), consisting of patients with a BP; Positive Group (n=255 cycles/444 transferred embryos), consisting of patients with a positive pregnancy result (clinical pregnancy); and Negative Group (n=468 cycles/750 transferred embryos), consisting of patients with a negative pregnancy result. Kinetic markers from the point of insemination were recorded in the EmbryoScope incubator.Results: Embryos resulting in BP behaved similarly to those embryos resulting in a clinical pregnancy. Embryos resulting in a negative pregnancy showed significantly slower embryo development and KIDScore ranking compared to both Biochemical and Positive groups.Conclusions: Embryos that resulted in a BP did not display evidence of abnormal morphokinetics on time-lapse imaging.

US monitoring began on the ninth day of stimulation, and a trigger shot with recombinant chorionic gonadotropin (rhCG) 250μg was administered on day 11 when six follicles measured ≥16 mm. Follicular aspiration (FA) occurred 36 hours later, resulting in the retrieval of 13 oocytes; 11 were metaphase II (MII) and were vitrified. Luteal phase COS began one day after the first FA, using CFA 150μg. The trigger was administered again on day 11, with rhCG 250 μg, when eight follicles were ≥16 mm, followed by FA 36 hours later, resulting in the retrieval of six MII oocytes, all of which were vitrified.
