One hundred and seventy-two infertility couples with tube factors （Group Ⅱ） served as controls. The sperm parameters, geminates and embryos quality, implantation rate and pregnant rate in both groups were analyzed. It was found that there was no significant differences in the number of oocytes retrieved, the fertilization rate and number of embryos transferred between two groups. Sperm concentration, percentage of motile sperm and percentage of sperm with normal morphology were significantly lower in group Ⅰ than in group Ⅱ （P〈0.01）. The proportion of good quality zygotes and good quality embryos were significantly lower in,（he male infertility group than in the tubal disease group （P（0.05）. Implantation rate and pregnancy rate were similar in two groups. It was concluded that spermatozoa is involved in the embryo quality, even in the early stages of development, which limited the treatment potency of IVF procedure.展开更多

Methods The IVF-ET patients with complete fertilization failure （experimental group, n =32） were analyzed retrospectively. The patients whose oocytes retrieved at the same day and cultured on the same incubators with ≥ 50% fertilization rates were matched as the control （n=56）. Results The infertility duration, superovulation days, the rates of primary case, progesterone （P） level 〉3.12 nmol/L rate and rate of severe abnormal sperm （abnormal sperm rate 〉95%） in experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control （6.4 ±3.1 years, 12.6 ±2.2 d, 56%, 43%, 43% vs 4.6±2.9years, 11.6 ±% 1.3 d, 33%, 23%, 23%, respectively, P〈0.05）. Conclusion We should pay attention to these patients with primary infertility, longer infertility duration and superovulation days （〉6.4 years and 〉12.6 d） and having increased level of P on hCG injection day （〉3.12 nmol/L）, abnormal sperm rate 〉95% at the same time. They should be included in such patients at high risk of fertilization failure.展开更多

Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 2023 women undergoing assisted reproductive technology （ART）. They were assigned to 4 groups： short-term in vitro fertilization （short-term IVF,, group A, n=217）, regular IVF （oocytes and sperm coincubated overnight, group B, n=1475）, short-term IVF and early rescue ICSI （shortterm ICSI, group C, n=94）, and regular ICSI （group D, n=237）. Results In group A, 69.8% （217/311） achieved normal fertilization rates, and the complete fertilization failure rate （fertilization rate was 0%） was 12.9% （40/311）. But all of the fertilization failure oocytes got rescue ICSI. In group B, the complete fertilization failure rate was 1.1% （19/1 692）. The fertilization rate, 2 PN （pronucleus） rate, and i PN rate were significantly lower in group A than those in group B （70.9% vs 80.8%, 57.8% vs 66.3%, and 3.5% vs 6.2%, respectively）. No significant differences were observed in clinical pregnancy rates and birth defect rates between groups A and B. The fertilization rates in groups C and D did not significantly differ （77.9% vs 76.2%）, which was also true for birth defect rates. The clinical pregnancy rate of group C was higher than that of group D （51.2% vs 42.3%）, but this difference was not significant （P〉0. 05）.Conclusion These results suggested that selective, short-term fertilization can result in effective outcomes for patients who were at high risk for fertilization failure.展开更多
