Evaluate the effect of short gamete incubation on fertilization rate and embryo quality.
A prospective study has been performed. Two thousand five hundred and forty seven sibling oocytes from 240 couples undergoing IVF attempts were allocated to a short (1 h) or a standard (18 h) insemination procedure. Diploid fertilization rate (two pronuclei, 2PN), polyspermy (>2PN) and embryo quality were compared.
The fertilization rate was statistically lower in the short insemination group compared to the standard insemination one (64.9% and 70.1%; P = 0.039), with a similar polyspermy rate observed between the two groups. A slight, but non significant, increase was observed concerning good embryo quality rate in the short insemination group when compared to the standard insemination, both at day 2 (60.1 vs. 58.1%; P = 0.06) and day 3 (53.2 vs. 48.5%; P = 0.22).
This new study highlights that a 1 h gamete exposure decreases the fertilization rate and does not improve embryo quality compared with a standard 18 h insemination procedure.
评估配子短时间孵育对受精率和胚胎质量的影响。
进行了一项前瞻性研究。将240对接受体外受精尝试的夫妇的2547个同胞卵母细胞分配到短时间(1小时)或标准(18小时)授精程序中。比较二倍体受精率(双原核,2PN)、多精受精(>2PN)和胚胎质量。
与标准授精组相比,短时间授精组的受精率在统计学上较低(分别为64.9%和70.1%;P = 0.039),两组的多精受精率相似。与标准授精组相比,短时间授精组在第2天(60.1%对58.1%;P = 0.06)和第3天(53.2%对48.5%;P = 0.22)时,优质胚胎率有轻微但不显著的增加。
这项新研究表明,与标准的18小时授精程序相比,1小时的配子暴露会降低受精率且不会改善胚胎质量。
