Methods: 275 oocytes were retrieved from 29 patients with aging between 23 - 38 years, who underwent ICSI (21), percutanious sperm aspiration (PESA-ICSI)and testicular sperm extraction (TESE-ICSI) (7), only one case came from conventional IVF. The patients were divided into two groups based on pregnancy or not. The cumulus cells were collected to measure the number of apoptotic cell by using flow cytometer. The degree of cumulus GC apoptosis and clinic pregnancy rate were assessed, and compared with embryo morphology and number of blastomere. Results: The apoptosis value in pregnancy gruop (9 cases) were lower than the nonpregnancy group (19 cases) (P<0. 05). In pregnancy group, the apoptosis value in the GC obtained from replaced embryos (37) were significantly lower than that of the nonreplaced embryos (78) (P<0. 02). Conclusion: The results indicated that the embryos with lower apoptosis value would have the potency of increase pregnancy rate. It will be possible to elevate the clinic pregnancy rate by selecting the replaced embryos bases on the apoptosis value of GC from oocytes in addition to the morphological score.展开更多
