BACKGROUND:Embryo viability assessment is directly related to the selection of embryo transplantation and clinical outcome of assisted reproduction.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the assessment methods for early embryonic development.
METHODS:The first author searched PubMed database for relevant articles published from January 1990 to
December 2013 using the keywords of“assisted reproductive technology, art;pre-implantation embryo;embryonic development viability;evaluation methods”in English. Final y, 63 articles were included in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the embryo quality evaluation, the most widely used method is morphological evaluation method which is characterized as rapid, non-invasive, and simple. With the development of assisted reproductive technology, the morphological evaluation combined with time-lapse imaging analysis system has been recognized in embryo selection. Recently, targeted-metabolic analysis has been proposed as a useful tool for assessment of embryo development potential, involving pyruvate acid, glycometabolism, amino acid, and embryo-derived cytokines (soluble human leukocyte antigen G1, platelet-activating factor, etc.). Furthermore, the pre-implantation genetic screening method targeting gene and chromosome abnormality is expected to find more effective markers for evaluating embryo developmental potential.

BACKGROUND:Since the first frozen embryo transplantation succeeded in 1983, embryo cryotechnique has been an important component in human assisted reproductive techniques. It is controversial which embryos and blastocysts after cryopreservation is selected.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the birth outcomes and neonatal status of frozen thawed embryos and blastocysts.
METHODS:In frozen thawed embryo group (n=1 273) and frozen thawed blastocyst group (n=471), we compared pregnancy rate, abortion rate, ectopic pregnancy rate, premature delivery rate, average premature gestational weeks, term yield, average ful-term gestational age, newborn sex, birth weight, birth defects and so on.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were frozen thawed blastocyst thaw cycles in 478 cases, 471 cases of transplantation period (including 7 cases without blastocyst transfer were canceled), 236 cases of pregnancy, 201 cases of delivery. Delivery number was 251, including 140 boys and 111 girls. The third day embryo thawing cycle of freezing and thawing appeared in 1 280 cases, 1 273 cases of transplantation period (including 7 cases of no embryo transplantation were canceled), 415 cases of pregnancy, 343 cases of delivery. The delivery number was 431, including 225 boys and 206 girls. Rate of pregnancy was significantly higher in frozen thawed blastocysts compared with frozen thawed embryos. No significant differences were detected in rate of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy rate, premature delivery rate, average premature gestational weeks, term yield, average ful-termgestational age, newborn sex, and birth weight between frozen thawed embryos and blastocysts. There was no increase in birth defects between frozen thawed embryos and blastocysts. Results suggested that no significant difference was detected in birth outcomes and neonatal status of frozen thawed embryos and blastocysts. Nevertheless, pregnancy outcome is better in frozen thawed blastocysts than frozen thawed embryos.
