ABSTRACT
Here we report a case of heterotopic cornual pregnancy after fertilization who was diagnosed at 6 weeks after frozen embryos transfer. The heterotopic pregnancy was successfully terminated by transvaginal ultrasound-guided selective fetal reduction. At 38+1 weeks, she underwent a cesarean section and delivered a healthy 3300 g male infant with Apgar score of 10-10' evaluated at 1 min and 5 min.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the feasibility, indication and method of oocyte vitrification during the IVF - ET procedure, so as to increase the utilization of oocytes and reduce oocyte waste.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>This study included the patients whose husbands failed to provide sperm samples at the time of oocyte pickup or from whom more than 25 oocytes were obtained. With the patients' consent, some of their oocytes were subjected to cryopreservation by vitrification, and used for IVF - ET after thawed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Totally, 53 oocytes from 7 patients were thawed, and 44 (83.02%) survived, of which 41 M II oocytes were subjected to ICSI and 32 (72.73%) were fertilized. Thirty embryos were formed, with a cleavage rate of 93.75%. Sixteen embryos were transferred in 9 cycles, with achievement of 2 clinical pregnancies and delivery of 3 healthy babies. The implantation rate was 18.75% and the live birth rate 22.22%. Seven of the embryos were still cryopreserved.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Cryopreservation of oocytes by vitrification effects satisfactory rates of survival and fertilization, and that of surplus oocytes can increase oocyte utilization and adds to the alternatives for IVF - ET.</p>

ObjectiveTo evaluate the curative effect difference between Tong's anterior mesh suspension and modified tension-free vaginal tape-obturator (TVT-O). Methods75 SUI cases were random divided into two groups: Group A (35 cases) were accepted Tong's anterior mesh suspension and group B (40cases) were accepted modified tension-free vaginal tape- obturator. Curative effects, operation safety,and complications and so on, were recorded and compared. ResultsThere had no statistical differences between these two groups on operation time, bleeding lose, operation injury, immediate postoperative urinary retention andcure rates, but the operation expense of group A was cheaper than group B [ (980. 74 ±212.45)yuan vs (2879.06 ±467. 13)yuan , P ＜0.05). ConclusionThe curative effect between two methods were similar. It's a little complicated and fit to be popularized in large hospital to modified tensionfree vaginal tape-obturator. Tong's anterior mesh suspension was performed under completely direct vision,not through pelvic cavity, and it was an economic, convenient and easy way, which not only fit to be popularized in basic hospital, but also a surgical remedial measure to the failures who accepted these operations,such as TVT, SPARC, IVS, MONARC, TOT, TVT-O, etc.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the effect of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) using cryopreserved-thawed testicular spermatozoa with testicular fine needle aspiration (TEFNA) in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Sixty-two patients underwent TEFNA. Mature testicular spermatozoa were found in 35 cases of patients and the testicular tissues were cryopreserved for later ICSI. Ovarian stimulation included a long protocol of GnRHa/FSH/hCG. Oocyte retrieval was performed under transvaginal ultrasound guidance, and ICSI conducted with cryopreserved-thawed testicular spermatozoa.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A total of 35 couples underwent 35 ICSI cycles using cryopreserved-thawed testicular spermatozoa with testicular fine needle aspiration. The clinical pregnancy rate was 37.14% (13/35).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>ICSI using cryopreserved-thawed testicular spermatozoa with testicular fine needle aspiration is a main and effective method in the treatment of non-obstructive azoospermia, which can avoid further testicular fine needle aspiration.</p>
