Analysis of the Causes of Total Fertilization Failure in Vitro Fertilization-Embryo Transfer / 现代生物医学进展

ABSTRACT

Fertilization is a crucial step for origin of life.During Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART),total fertilization failure is complex and unpredictable.Total fertilization failure may related to some abnormal cellular mechanistic events,such asany stage of sperm and cumulus-oocyte-complexes penetration,sperm-zona pellucida binding / penetration,sperm-oocyte membrane binding,oocyte activation,sperm discondensation or pronuclear formation.Most of total fertilization failure could be solved by intracytoplasmic sperm injection.But oocytes of some patient still can't fertilize successfully,even though assisted oocyte activation be used.As for total fertilization failure patients in ART,combining the mature of oocyte,sperm quality and some trail to improve clinical protocol in later cycle may prevent failure to happen again.
