Abstract

Background: Fertility specialists assess ovarian responses prior to estimating the prognosis for women who are suffering from anovulation. To diagnose the inconsistencies between chronological and biological age of ovaries and predict ovarian response, transvaginal sonography (TVS) ovarian act as an operant method. The aim of the current study was to assess the correlation between the number of antral follicles in both ovaries and the age of women in predicting the ovarian response in intrauterine insemination (IUI). 

Methods: The research design of the present study was a cross-sectional. A total of 171 individuals, who were non-smoker patients and had already undergone a standard regimen of ovarian stimulation for IUI, were selected as participants of this study from the Infertility and Reproductive Health Research Center in Babol (Iran). On the third day of the cycle, TVS was conducted to measure the mean of every ovary and also to count the number of antral follicles on the both ovaries. 
Results: The mean age of our patients was 27.7. The increased aged of women is significantly associated with lower total number of antral follicles. (P = 0.001). The mean ovarian diameter was significantly correlated with high number of antral follicles (p = 0.0001). 
Conclusion: The findings of the present study indicated that the age of women and the ovarian diameter are leading factors to help determine ovarian response as well as basal antral follicle counts.

Abstract

Introduction: Application of doxorubicin (DOX), an anticancer anthracycline antibiotic, carries the risk of serious dose-dependent toxicity to non-target tissues. The aim of this study was to investigate whether DOX-induced spermatotoxicity could be prevented by using the Satureja hortensis hydroalcoholic extract (SE).  

Methods: Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups of six rats each. DOX was administered to two groups of rats in 5 equal intraperitoneal injections over a period of 4 weeks (accumulated dose of 20 mg/kg). One of these groups received SE at a dose of 100 mg/kg per day subcutaneously for 28 days along with DOX. A vehicle treated control group and a SE control group were also included.

Results: Epididymal sperm analyses revealed that DOX caused significant decreases in sperm concentration, viability and motility along with elevated sperm abnormality, while SE co-administration provided marked normalization in the sperm quantity and quality compared to the DOX-only treated group. 

Conclusion: It is reasonable to suppose that protective effects of SE against DOX-induced reproductive toxicity might have been related to the antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects of this substance.

Abstract

Many women with polycystic ovary (PCO) are obese. These women have lower clinical pregnancy rates when compared with their lighter counterparts.  We hereby present a case of an obese PCOs woman, who referred to our clinic, underwent a microinjection, and failed in pregnancy. Then, she was recommended to have a change of lifestyle and lose weight along taking insulin-sensitizer medicines. In the following 6 months, she lost 19 Kilograms and referred to us with a spontaneous pregnancy. The object of this report was to determine the role of insulin intolerance medicines and lifestyle improvement on enhancing the rate of pregnancy in the PCOs obese women.

Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of adding low dose human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) on oocyte maturity and hyper-stimulation syndrome in women undergoing Intra-cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI).
Methods: In a randomaized clinical trail, 150 eligible patients undergoing a long GnRH agonist protocol were randomly divided into three groups of 50 women. The women in the first group received recombinant FSH alone (rFSH). The women in the second group received rFSH by 100 IU hCG daily. All participants in the three groups received rFSH by 200 IU hCG daily. The mean numbers of mature oocytes retrieved (MII oocytes) for normal responders as the primary outcome, and the occurrence ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) as the secondary outcome were measured for each group.  A P-value of less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
Results: There was no significant difference in the comparison of the incidence of mature oocytes formation among the three groups. The number of OHSS was significantly lower in third group compared with those of the other groups (6% vs 14% and 18%, respectively; P = 0.03).
Conclusion: The addition of 200 hCG to recFSH throughout the stimulation in a long GnRH agonist protocol only benefited a lower number of OHSS.

Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the quality of bull sperm produced in 0.5 and 0.25 ml semen straws before and after freezing.
Methods: In this experimental study, semen samples were collected from 12 dual purpose Simmental (Fleckvieh) bull kept at Iran Simmental Cattle Breeding Center during a two-month period. Each ejaculate was divided into two equal portions. Then, the formulation and freezing processes were performed separately for each type of straw. Sperm qualitative characteristics, antioxidant and oxidant levels of frozen semen produced in bulls' 0.5 and 0.25 were compared.
Results: The results showed that all sperm quality parameters in 0.25 ml straws were better than 0.5 ml before and after freezing. Catalase (CAT) activity was higher in 0.5 ml straws than 0.25 one, but it was not statistically significant. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were lower in 0.5 ml straws than 0.25 ml straws, but the differences were not statically significant. Moreover, no remarkable difference was observed in the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity enzyme.

Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study and with the aim of reducing the production costs, it is recommended that bull sperm production centers and herdsman inseminators use 0.25 ml straws for semen freezing and cattle artificial insemination.
