Abstract
PURPOSE This study evaluated the 24-month cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) for women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or high antral follicle count (AFC) who underwent oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM) with pre-maturation step (CAPA-IVM). METHODS This multicenter, retrospective study was performed at IVFMD, My Duc Hospital, and IVFMD Phu Nhuan, My Duc Phu Nhuan Hospital from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2019. All women with PCOS or high AFC treated with a CAPA-IVM cycle were included. Cumulative live birth was defined as at least one live birth resulting from the initiated CAPA-IVM cycle. Where a woman did not return for embryo transfer, outcomes were followed up until 24 months from the day of oocyte aspiration. Logistic regression was performed to identify factors predicting the CLBR. RESULTS Data from 374 women were analyzed, 368 of whom had embryos for transfer (98.4%), and six had no embryos for transfer (1.6%). The oocyte maturation rate was 63.2%. The median number of frozen embryos was 4 [quartile 1, 2; quartile 3, 6]. Cumulative clinical pregnancy and ongoing pregnancy rates were 60.4% and 43.6%, respectively. At 24 months after starting CAPA-IVM treatment, the CLBR was 38.5%. Multivariate analysis showed that patient age and number of frozen embryos were significant predictors of cumulative live birth after CAPA-IVM. CONCLUSIONS CAPA-IVM could be considered as an alternative to in vitro fertilization for the management of infertility in women with PCOS or a high AFC who require assisted reproductive technology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the effectiveness of Paraffin oil versus Mineral oil for day-5 embryo culture in couples undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART). METHODS We performed a multi-centre, retrospective cohort study at IVFMD (My Duc Hospital) and IVFMD Phu Nhuan (My Duc Phu Nhuan Hospital) from January 2019 to September 2019. We studied couples treated by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), using fresh, ejaculated semen and undergoing day-5 embryo transfer. Couples who underwent in vitro maturation (IVM) or oocyte donation cycles or couples where the woman had uterine abnormalities were excluded. From January 2019 to May 2019, we used Mineral oil (LiteOil, LifeGlobal) while Paraffin oil (Liquid Paraffin, Origio) was used from June 2019 to September 2019. The primary outcome was live birth rate after the first transfer, either from a fresh transfer or frozen embryo transfer. RESULTS Between 1st January 2019 to 30th September 2019, there were 2,312 couples undergoing ART in both centres, of which 762 (377 in the Paraffin group and 385 in the Mineral group) eligible couples were included in the study. Baseline characteristics of couples were comparable between the two groups, with mean female age 31.5 ± 4.3 versus 31.9 ± 4.7 in the Paraffin and Mineral group. Live birth after the first transfer occurred in 153 (40.6%) couples in the Paraffin group, compared to 152 (39.5%) couples in the Mineral group (risk ratio 1.02, 95% confidence interval 0.91 - 1.14). Other secondary outcomes were comparable between the two groups. CONCLUSION In day-5 embryo culture, Paraffin and Mineral oil resulted in a comparable live birth rate.

Abstract
We recently reported that PAF acetylhydrolase (PAF-Ah) mRNA level and PAF-Ah activity in lamb lungs are up-regulated in the immediate newborn period, thereby facilitating the fall in postnatal PAF levels as well as a fall in pulmonary vascular resistance (B. O. Ibe, F. C. Sardar, and J. U. Raj, Mol Genet Metab 69:46-55, 2000). We have studied hypoxia effects on PAF synthesis and PAF-Ah activity in fetal lamb pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (FPASMC) and endothelial cells (FPAEC). We also studied PAF synthesis by platelets, and PAF-Ah activity in plasma of perinatal lambs at different ages. PAF synthesis (means +/- SEM, pmol/10(6) cells) by SMC in baseline was 168 +/- 27 and increased 3-fold on stimulation with A23187. Hypoxia augmented A23187-stimulated PAF synthesis by 30%. In FPAEC, baseline synthesis was 0.54 +/- 0.062 and increased 3-fold to 1.72 +/-.34. Hypoxia had no effect on PAF synthesis by EC. FPASMC produced over 300-fold more PAF than FPAEC. PAF synthesis by platelets was 47.02 +/- 7.1, 63.4 +/- 6.6, 71.5 +/- 9.9, and 62.2 +/- 5.2 for fetal, and newborn lambs <2 h, <1 day, and 6-12 days, old, respectively. PAF synthesis by platelets of <1 day-old lambs was different from that of fetal lambs. PAF-Ah activity (nmol lyso-PAF/min/mg protein) by FPASMC in normoxia was 3.41 +/- 0.38 which was 50% higher than the rate in hypoxia. Activity in FPAEC was 1.75 +/- 0.37 which was not different from hypoxia. PAF-Ah activity in fetal lamb plasma was 47.83 +/- 6.87 which was different from 155.32 +/- 12.10, the activity in plasma of newborn <1 day old. Activity in the other perinatal lambs did not differ from fetal or newborn <1 d. Our data suggest that lower pulmonary vascular PAF synthesis in normoxia together with higher PAF-Ah activity during immediate postnatal period is necessary to ensure rapid catabolism of PAF in vivo so as to facilitate postnatal adaptation of the pulmonary and systemic circulations.
