RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The role of Lactobacillus-dominant microbiota in the endometrium in reproductive function is unclear. We therefore aimed to explore the impact of the balance of Lactobacillus and pathological bacteria in the endometrial and vaginal microbiomes on the pregnancy outcomes of women treated with assisted reproductive technology (ART). METHODS: This study included 35 women with infertility submitted to good-quality embryo transfers. The cutoff values for abundance of Lactobacillus species (spp.) and pathological bacteria in the endometrium and vagina were calculated. Women with Lactobacillus spp. and pathological bacteria abundance above the cutoff values were categorized in the high-abundance group, whereas those with abundance below cutoff values were categorized in the low abundance group. We divided the patients into four groups based on the combination of high/low abundance of Lactobacillus spp. and pathological bacteria. RESULTS: The 35 cases of good-quality embryo transfer resulted in 21 pregnancies. Pregnant women were present in significantly higher proportions in the high Lactobacillus spp. abundance and low pathological bacteria abundance group, whereas the opposite combination (i.e., low Lactobacillus spp. abundance and high pathological bacteria abundance) saw a significantly higher proportion of nonpregnant women (p=0.022). CONCLUSIONS: The balance between Lactobacillus and pathological bacterial abundance in the endometrial and vaginal microbiomes is associated with pregnancy from ART.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is used to predict in vitro fertilization outcomes. However, predicting live birth is difficult in younger patients with low AMH. Thus, this study aimed to determine the live birth rates from younger patients with low anti-Müllerian hormone levels. METHODS: A total of 296 infertile patients with AMH measured (younger group, aged 25-38 years; older group, aged 39-42 years) were included in this study. In vitro fertilization outcomes between patients with AMH levels of <1.0ng/mL and ≥1.0ng/mL were compared. RESULTS: Younger patients with AMH levels <1.0ng/mL (younger low AMH group) exhibited lower number of oocytes retrieved than patients with AMH levels ≥1.0ng/mL (younger normal AMH group). However, there were no significant differences in cumulative pregnancy or cumulative live birth rates between groups. Older patients with AMH levels ≥1.0ng/mL (older normal AMH group) had significantly better outcomes as per mean number of oocytes, cumulative pregnancy rate, and cumulative live birth rate than older patients with AMH levels <1.0ng/mL (older low AMH group). In the younger low AMH group, the frequency of oocyte retrieval was significantly higher in patients who achieved live birth. In addition, the blastocyst transfer rate was significantly higher in individuals with live births versus subjects with non-live births. CONCLUSIONS: AMH is a predictor of live birth among older, but not younger, women. Our report suggests that younger women may become pregnant even with low AMH levels when they obtain blastocysts from frequent oocyte retrievals.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The possible effects of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) on sex ratio at birth are extremely significant. This study aimed to determine whether ART affects the sex ratio of infants born through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We ran this retrospective study on 290 singleton infants born following IVF-ET from February 2014 to August 2018 at a single institution. We compared the sex ratios of these infants with respect to insemination versus intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), early-cleavage embryo versus blastocyst transfer, fresh versus frozen-thawed embryo transfer and normal sperm versus asthenospermia. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the sex ratio with respect to the fertilization method, transfer time, fresh embryo or frozen-thawed embryo transfer. In addition, the multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that these factors did not significantly affect the sex ratio. CONCLUSIONS: Our study indicated that the differences in the fertilization method transfer time and sperm motility rate did not affect the sex ratio of IVF live births. However, with increasing numbers of ICSI and blastocyst transfer cycles, factors possibly affecting the sex ratio need to be further investigated.
