The aim of this study was to investigate the survival and development of
premature follicles and oocytes from a vitrified-transplanted ovary in a murine
experimental model. The 14-day-old mice were unilaterally ovariectomized and the
separated ovaries were vitrified by cryotop. After 2 weeks the ovaries were
warmed and autotransplanted into the gluteus superfiscialis muscle. After
3 weeks, these o... hiện toàn bộ
Nuclear reprogramming of sperm and somatic nuclei in eggs and oocytesReproductive Medicine and Biology - - 2013
Marta Teperek, Kazuaki Miyamoto
AbstractEggs and oocytes have a prominent ability to reprogram sperm nuclei for
ensuring embryonic development. The reprogramming activity that eggs/oocytes
intrinsically have towards sperm is utilised to reprogram somatic nuclei
injected into eggs/oocytes in nuclear transfer (NT) embryos. NT embryos of
various species can give rise to cloned animals, demonstrating that eggs/oocytes
can confer tot... hiện toàn bộ
Human sperm motility in a microgravity environmentReproductive Medicine and Biology - Tập 4 - Trang 161-167 - 2005

We carried out clinostat and parabolic flight experiments to examine the effects
of a microgravity (,uG) environment on human sperm motility. Semen samples were
obtained manually from 18 healthy men (aged 27.4 ± 5.4 years) who had given
their informed consent. In dinostat experiments, samples that were left
stationary were used as a stationary control. Samples rotated vertically and
horizontally w... hiện toàn bộ
Diagnosis and treatment methods for recurrent miscarriage casesReproductive Medicine and Biology - Tập 8 Số 4 - Trang 141-144 - 2009
Sugiura-Ogasawara, Mayumi, Ozaki, Yasuhiko, Kitaori, Tamao
Recurrent miscarriage is classically defined as three or more consecutive
pregnancy losses. Established causes of recurrent miscarriage are
antiphospholipid antibodies, uterine anomalies and abnormal chromosomes in
either partner, particularly translocations. Embryonic aneuploidy is the most
important cause of miscarriage before 10 weeks’ gestation. It can be speculated
that about 51% of patients ... hiện toàn bộ
Selected single blastocyst transfers maintained pregnancy outcome and eliminated multiple pregnanciesReproductive Medicine and Biology - Tập 3 - Trang 13-18 - 2004

Transfer of more than one embryo followingin vitro
fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles have increased pregnancy
rate at the cost of increasing the incidence of triplets and twins. It has been
proposed that prolonged culture to the blastocyst stage would automatically
result in the selection of good quality embryos for transfer and minimize the
incidence of triplets and twins. The... hiện toàn bộ

Two cases of ectopic ovary and one case of potential ectopic ovaryReproductive Medicine and Biology - - 2011
Eiji Nishio, Yutaka Hirota, Akira Yasue, Haruki Nishizawa, K. Tsukada, Yasuhiro Udagawa
AbstractEctopic ovary is a rare gynecologic entity. A variety of synonymous
terms such as ectopic ovary, supernumerary ovary, accessory ovary, and
autoamputation of the ovary have been used to describe this condition. The
etiology for ectopic ovary has not been elucidated, but several mechanisms have
been proposed. They are categorized as either congenital (embryologically
derived) or acquired. Th... hiện toàn bộ
A case of empty follicle syndrome who conceived after aspiration of an endometrial cystReproductive Medicine and Biology - Tập 12 - Trang 111-115 - 2013

Empty follicle syndrome (EFS) has been defined as a condition where no oocytes
can be retrieved for in vitro fertilization (IVF) even though ultrasound
findings and estradiol (E2) levels suggest the presence of potential follicles.
The EFS is a rare condition with an incidence of 0.5–7 % of women undergoing IVF
treatments. Although there are many hypotheses as to the cause of EFS, including
advanc... hiện toàn bộ
Sex-discordant twins despite single embryo transfer: a report of two casesReproductive Medicine and Biology - Tập 9 - Trang 169-172 - 2010
Nobuo Sugawara, Hideyuki Fukuchi, Machiko Maeda, Rie Komaba, Yasuhisa Araki
We report two extremely rare cases in which the patients delivered male and
female infants that were dizygotic twins (DZT) despite single embryo transfer.
Case 1: The patient was a 35-year-old woman with a 9-year history of unexplained
infertility. In an oocyte retrieval cycle, one blastocyst was transferred; at
26 weeks of gestation, she delivered a 704-g female infant and a 420-g male
infant by ... hiện toàn bộ
Short-term exposure of female rats to industrial metal salts: Effect on implantation and pregnancyReproductive Medicine and Biology - Tập 6 - Trang 179-183 - 2007

The objective of this study was to characterize the adverse effects of
industrial metal salts during the early stages of pregnancy. Successfully mated
female rats were exposed to the following metal salts via intragastric
intubation; manganese sulfate, lead acetate, aluminum chloride, ferrous chloride
and ferric chloride in doses of 50 mg/kg body weight and chromium chloride and
potassium dichroma... hiện toàn bộ
