AIM: To explore the activation effect of calcium ionophore A23187 on unfertilized human mature oocytes after conventional in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). METHODS: Thirty-seven unfertilized mature oocytes from IVF and 41 after ICSI were included in our experiment. They were incubated in 5 ?mol/L calcium ionophore A23187 for 5 minutes. Second polar body extrusion and pronuclear formation were recorded 12-16 hours later. The activated oocytes were cultured for another 2 days in vitro. RESULTS: Activation rate of unfertilized oocytes from conventional IVF and ICSI were 64.9%(24/37)and 73.2%(30/41), respectively. Among 41 unfertilized oocytes after ICSI treated with A23187, 30 were activated and 24 had 2 polar body (PB) and 2 pronuclear (PN). But for the unfertilized oocytes from conventional IVF only 20% activated oocytes had 2 PN and 2 PB. The percentage difference of oocytes containing 2 PB and 2 PN between the two groups was significant ( P

AIM: To investigate the optimal materials and culture system of human primordial germ cells (PGCs) in order to establish human embryonic germ (EG) cell lines. METHODS: Human embryos of different gestational age were collected to isolate human PGCs. The isolated human PGCs were cultured in different medium and on different feeder layers, then their growth, proliferation and differentiation in different culture systems were observed. RESTILTS: The formation rate of primary colonies was higher when human PGCs were obtained with enzyme-mechanical method from 8-and 9-weeks gestational age human embryos than that from 7-weeks. Human PGCs grew better and maintained undifferentiating when mouse embryonic fibroblast or STO cells served as feeder layers and in conditional medium with hLIF, hbFGF, hSCF. CONCLUSION: 8-and 9-week gestational age human embryo are optimal material for isolating human PGCs. Enzyme-mechanical method is simple and available to isolate human PGCs. Feeder layer and growth factors are necessary for human PGCs culture in vitro.

Objective To investigate influence of chromosomal translocations on early embryo development and to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD)techniques through clinical analysis on PGD cycles. Methods Embryo development, efficacy of PGD and clinical outcome of 100 cycles were studied retrospectively, including 23 cycles with Robertsonian translocations, 19 cycles with reciprocal translocations, and 58 cycles for α-Thalassaemia. Results Among 354 embryos biopsied by PGD for translocations, 321 (90. 7% ) presented fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) results. The rate of normal/balanced embryos in the Robertsonian translocation was 38. 3% (64/167),which was significantly higher than 20. 8% (32/154) in the reciprocal translocation group. Amplification was achieved in 443 blastomeres from 537 embryos in Thalassaemia group, which given to an amplification efficiency rate of 82. 5% ( 443/537 ). Totally, 140 normal homozygous, 112 heterozygotes and 155 affected homozygous embryos were identified, while 36 embryos had uncertain result. The successful diagnostic rate was 75.8% (407/537). After 3 days in the translocation groups, the rate of normal and/or balanced translocations in biopsed embryos with ≥7 cells was 34. 4% (77/224), which was significantly higher than 19. 6% ( 19/97 ) of biopsed embryos with < 7 cells. After 4 days, the compaction rate in normal/balanced embryos was 59.4% ( 57/96 ), which was significantly higher than 34. 2% ( 77/225 ) in imbalanced embryos significantly. Seventy-five embryos transferred in 37 cycles with translocations group led to clinical pregnancy rate of 27.0% (10/37), and 170 embryos transferred in 58 cycles with Thalassaemia got a clinical pregnancy rate of 43. 1% ( 25/58 ) . Conclusions PGD can provide management efficiently for both chromosome translocations and Thalassaemia. Translocations might have slightly negative impact on embryo development before implantation.

Objective To compare the diagnostic efficiency between blastomere preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and polar body PGD for chromosomal translocation carriers. Methods Group A had 8 cycles using whole painting probes for the first polar body diagnosis, while group B had 29 cycles using two subtelomeric probes and one centromeric probe for the blastomere diagnosis. Results The fertilization rate of group A was significantly lower than group B [66. 1% (72/109) vs 85.2% (304/357) , P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in the successful biopsy rate between two groups. However, group A had a significantly higher loss rate during fixation and higher no signal rate after fluorescence in situ hybridization [ FISH, 9. 6% (12/104) vs 1.6% (4/252), 11.2% (10/89) vs 3.0% (7/233) ]. Totally, the diagnostic efficiency in group A (72. 5% ,79/109 ) was significantly lower than that in group B( 89. 8%, 230/256, P < 0. 05 ). Although both the clinical pregnancy rate( 3/7 ) and implantation rate( 22. 2% ,4/18 ) of group A were higher, the differences were not statistically significant ( P > 0.05 ). Conclusion Both methods can be used efficiently in the PGD for chromosomal translocation carriers. Blastomere PGD has a higher diagnostic rate.

Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of interposition urethroplasty on glandular hypospadias and severe penile curvature.Methods:A total of 9 cases of congenital glandular hypospadias and 2 cases of congenital severe penile curvature (>30°) treated with the interposition urethroplasty technique in the Shenzhen Children′s Hospital from November 2008 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.The mean age of initial surgery was 40 (25-109) months.Two cases were surgically treated with one-staged interposition urethroplasty and the remaining were treated with two-staged interposition urethroplasty.They were followed up for 8 months to 12 years, including the penile morphology, urination, urethrocutaneous fistula, urethral stricture and uroflowmetry.Continuous variables were presented as ± s deviation, Student′s t-test was used for comparison between groups. Results:The median length of interposition urethra was 3.2 (2.2-4.2) cm.The cosmetic appearance of penis was good without residual chordee, urethral stricture or urethral diverticulum in all patients.Two cases had urethrocutaneous fistula(one-staged repair and two-staged repair were performed in one case respectively), which were successfully repaired by re-operation.The maximum of uroflowmetry in patients at 3 months [(8.3±1.0) mL/s] and 6 months [(6.7±1.9) mL/s] after surgery was significantly lower than that of children in healthy control group [(10.5±3.7) mL/s] ( t=3.221, 3.864, all P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in 1-year maximum of uroflowmetry postoperatively between surgically treated patients [(10.5±3.7) mL/s] and healthy control group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Interposition urethroplasty is an effective and safe treatment for glandular hypospadias and/or severe penile curvature in children.
