Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY In stimulated IVF-ICSI cycles, follicles at different stages of maturation can be aspirated during oocyte pickup. Nowadays, only mature oocytes (metaphase 2 stage) are used and immature oocytes (germinal vesicle and metaphase 1 stages), which are judged unfit for fertilization, are non-used at day 0. In our IVF center, the rate of immature oocytes recovered is around 25%. A significant number of this precious resource is therefore non-used every day in IVF laboratories. The objective of our study was to evaluate the competence of our in vitro maturation autologous coculture method on the maturation and developmental potential of immature oocytes obtained from stimulated IVF-ICSI cycles, in order to obtain additional embryos for the couple as a rescue system to increase the changes of cumulative pregnancy. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a prospective study, carried out in the Reproductive Medicine and Biology Unit of the Amiens-Picardy University Hospital (France). It was included 14 couples, managed in IVF-ICSI in our center, from January to March 2020. Thirty-eight oocytes, identified as immature after cumulus-oocyte complexes (COC) stripping for ICSI, were placed in our in vitro maturation medium with the addition of autologous cumulus cells. Oocytes that had reached the metaphase II stage after a maximum of 36 hours of maturation were microinjected. The fertilization and embryonic development potential of the in vitro matured oocytes were compared to those of 148 in vivo matured "siblings" oocytes from the same oocyte retrieval, and then also compared to those of 127 in vivo matured oocytes from different patients (control group). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Maturation rate, fertilization rate, early cleavage rate and developmental activity to blastulation rate. SECOND OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Embryo quality at cleavage and blastocyst stages, blastulation rate, and useful blastulation rate. RESULTS No significant difference was found in the main and secondary criteria of the study compared to the "siblings" in vivo matured oocytes from the same oocyte retrieval. However, a significant difference was obtained on the rate of early cleavage and useful blastulation when our cohort was compared to mature in vivo oocytes from different patients (control group). CONCLUSION This study has shown that after incubation in our in vitro maturation autologous cumulus cell co-culture with cumulus-oocyte cells, immature oocytes recovered during stimulated cycles can give rise to competent oocytes, i.e., capable of being fertilized, of cleaving, and of developing into embryos up to the blastocyst stage. Our study therefore seems to be in the direction of a favorable use of these immature oocytes obtained after stimulated IVF-ICSI cycles. The continuation of this study by including a larger number of oocytes is necessary in order to evaluate the real contribution of this technique in routine.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
What is the relationship between Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) levels and sperm analysis (Spermocytogramme) parameters results?
Summary answer
SDF level of patients with pathological spermocytogramme presents negative correlations to total spermatozoa mobility, vitality and concentration, and positive correlation to sperm morphology defects.
What is known already
The relationship between SDF and Sperm analysis parameters and especially sperm morphology needs to be more studied since few studies over the last years were focused on this relationship. However, abnormalities in these two parameters are considered as the most important biological indicators of male infertility. The pathogenesis of Teratozoospermia (<4% morphologically normal sperm cells according to WHO 2010) is continuously increasing over the last decade according to several studies. In addition, SDF is also increasing over the years because of several factors such as pollution, stress and lifestyle changing.
Study design, size, duration
Retrospective study including 331 infertile patients undergoing SDF-index testing with Spermocytogramme from January 2013 – December 2018. Patients divided into two groups: 143 patients with normal-Spermocytogramme and 188 patients with pathological-Spermocytogramme. Each group includes patients with abnormal SDF levels (>30%). Statistical analyzes were performed using SPSS22.0 for Windows-software. Kolmogorov–Smirnov-test for normality analysis and comparisons by Student-t-test or Mann–Whitney U-test, as appropriate. Pearson/Spearman’ tests for correlations were used as appropriate, P-value<0.05 was considered as significant.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
143 patients with normal Spermocytogramme (2.8% abnormal-SDF) vs 188 patients with pathological Spermocytogramme (10.6% abnormal-SDF). WHO–2010 instructions for sperm-analysis were used through Makler®-counting-chamber (Sefi-Medical Instrument Ltd) for sperm-concentration and motility-determination using Sperm-class-analyzer-software (CASA-system (Microptic®)) to detect sperm abnormalities. Normozoospermia was determined when sperm progressive-motility is ≥ 32%, sperm-concentration ≥15x106/mL, and sperm-morphology ≥4%. “Diff-Quick” staining-method for the coloration of the fixed-sperm-slides was used for Sperm-morphology analysis. GoldCyto Sperm®Kit (Goldcyto Biotech corp.) was used to analyze SDF.
Main results and the role of chance
SDF is significantly higher in pathological spermocytogramme’ patients than in normal spermocytogramme’ patients (17.02 ± 11.88 vs 12.16 ± 9.58 respectively). In patients with pathological spermocytogramme, SDF is negatively correlated to Progressive sperm motility (r= –0.137; p = 0.042), Total sperm motility (r= –0.153; p = 0.036), vitality (r=–0.140; p = 0.048) and concentration (r=–0.195; p = 0.007). In the other hand, SDF presented positive correlation with teratozoospermia and especially with sperm midpiece defects (r = 0.171; p = 0.02). However, SDF did not present any correlation with age, testosterone levels and total ejaculated sperm volume. However the latter was positively correlated to spermatozoa midpiece and head defects (r = 0.156; p = 0.034; r = 0.203; p = 0.006, respectively). These results are in accordance with García-Ferreyra et al. (2014) who found that men with abnormal spermatozoa morphology showed high levels of DNA fragmentation, Sá et al. (2015) who confirmed that semen with lower concentration, motility and morphology have higher levels of SDF and showed that sperm head staining patterns are correlated with the degree of SDF. In addition, recently the study of Jakubik-Uljaszstudy et al. (2020) could confirms our results when it concluded that detailed sperm structural defects coexist with abnormal nuclear sperm DNA dispersion and that men with teratozoospermia may have a higher risk for sperm DNA damage.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Our study is a retrospective statistical investigation that included patients attending to the laboratory for fertility diagnosis after a period of infertility. Meta-analyzes studies in addition to more prospective-randomized-controlled-trials with couples undergoing assisted-reproductive-treatments and in comparison with fertile men are needed to confirm the relationship between SDF and spermocytogramme defects.
Wider implications of the findings: These results should interest andrologists, reproductive science fundamentalists and embryologists who want to improve the investigations on the origin of infertility especially when it comes from male side.

Abstract
PURPOSE IVF treatment in women with grafted frozen-thawed ovarian tissue is associated with poor reproductive outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of ovarian tissue transplantation (OTT) followed by assisted reproductive technology (ART) in women with or without associated infertility factors. METHODS This is a prospective cohort study with retrospective data collection including eleven women, four of whom having an infertility factor (IF), who had undergone OTT in one university center between 2005 and 2017, followed by ART in six in vitro fertilization (IVF) centers. RESULTS In total, 25 of the 85 cycles initiated (29%) were canceled, resulting in 60 oocyte retrievals. Ninety-five oocytes were retrieved: 36 were abnormal or immature, 29/39 fertilized (74%) after ICSI and 13/20 (65%) after IVF. Thirty-five embryos were transferred in seven patients (5/7 patients without IF and 2/4 patients with IF). After ART, one patient with IF experienced two pregnancies, one resulting in a live birth. For all patients, pregnancy rates and live birth rates were 7.4% and 3.7% per embryo transfer, respectively. Nine pregnancies and four live births occurred after spontaneous conception in five patients without IF, none in the infertility group. CONCLUSION This study confirms that IVF treatment in women with grafted frozen-thawed ovarian tissue is associated with poor outcomes. However, the chances of natural conception are high in women without IF. Patients with IF, without the possibility of spontaneous pregnancy, should be informed of poor reproductive outcomes after OTT followed by ART. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02184806.

Abstract
Infertility due to Gonadotropin-Resistant Ovary Syndrome (GROS) is a rare type of hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. Here, we report an original case of GROS, associated with compound heterozygous follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) variants, in a woman who achieved a live birth by in vitro maturation (IVM) of her oocytes. This 31-year-old woman consulted our assisted reproduction center for a second opinion after having been advised, because of pervasive high serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels, to pursue in vitro fertilization (IVF) with donor oocytes. She presented with primary infertility and progressively prolonged menstrual cycles. Her serum FSH levels were indeed found to be high, but in discordance with a normal anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level and antral follicle count. Genetic investigation found the patient to be compound heterozygous for two FSHR variants: I160T, a known pathologic variant, and N558H, which has never been previously reported. As there was no ovarian response to high daily doses of exogenous gonadotropins, IVM was proposed to the patient with success and she finally delivered at term a healthy boy. Effects of the receptor variants were analyzed in heterologous cells. Whereas the I160T mutation blocked FSHR membrane trafficking and FSH-stimulated cAMP-dependent signaling in transfected CHO cells, the novel variant, N558H, functioned equivalently to wild-type FSHR in the assays employed. In conclusion, IVM should always be offered as a first-line therapy to infertile women presenting with GROS. The N558H variant discovered in FSHR is novel, but its functional significance, if any, is unresolved and merits further investigation as it may be associated with a recessive FSHR-related disorder.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of our manuscript is to review the current state of research on the genetics of male infertility, highlighting the genetic abnormalities that can lead to non-syndromic male infertility and genetic testing proposed to patients. It is intended primarily for clinicians and biologists of reproductive medicine. METHODS A comprehensive review of the scientific literature available on PubMed was conducted using keywords related to male infertility and genetics. Since the first genes related to non-syndromic male infertility were identified after the 2000s, bibliographic research was conducted after this date. RESULTS Thirty-three genes have been identified as responsible for non-syndromic male infertility. The evolution of techniques based on whole genome analysis has allowed the development of more successful methods in the identification of new genes and mutations inducing an infertility phenotype. Through this article, we propose, by concrete examples, a clinical approach for genetic tests considering the semen analysis alterations. CONCLUSIONS The identification and characterization of these genes and the mutations responsible for certain infertility phenotypes allow better management and better treatment for patients as well as a better understanding of the physiopathological mechanisms of human gametogenesis.

Abstract
Alcohol intake and cigarette smoking are the major lifestyle factors with negative impact on fertility. We were interested to evaluate the negative impact of these factors on oxidative stress (OS), enzymatic antioxidant activity (EAO) of spermatozoa and on its DNA damage. This study included 108 male infertile patients with normal range of sperm conventional parameters but with unexplained infertility in assisted reproductive technologies programme. Firstly, OS was analysed based on lipid peroxidation (MDA) and EAO which included catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione reductase (GR). Secondly, we evaluated DNA fragmentation by TUNEL assay and chromatin decondensation by aniline blue colouration. The whole lot was divided into four groups: control (nonalcoholic and nonsmoker patients), alcohol group, smoking group and alcohol-smoking group. The results showed, in three last groups compared to control an increased CAT, SOD and GR activities with high MDA level especially in smoking and alcohol-smoking group. The latter showed the highest values of DNA fragmentation and chromatin decondensation (31% and 39%) to exceed DNA damage normal range. Indeed, smoking and alcohol intake lead to increase EAO due to long-term unbalanced antioxidant/oxidation ratio with high OS which cause consequently sperm DNA damage calling in need by urgency to change the lifestyle behaviour.

Abstract
Sperm DNA methylation abnormalities have been detected in oligozoospermic men. However, the association between sperm DNA methylation defects, sperm parameters and sperm DNA, and chromatin integrity remains poorly understood. This study was designed to clarify this issue. We recruited a cohort of 92 men (62 normozoospermic and 30 oligoasthenozoospermic) presenting for infertility evaluation during a 1-year period. Sperm global DNA methylation was evaluated by an ELISA-like method, DNA fragmentation was evaluated by flow cytometry-based terminal transferase dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) assay (reported as DNA fragmentation index or DFI), and sperm denaturation was evaluated by aniline blue staining (reported as sperm denaturation index or SDI, a marker of chromatin compaction). We found a significant positive association between sperm global DNA methylation level and conventional sperm parameters (sperm concentration and motility), supported by the results of methylation analysis on H19-DMR. We also identified significant inverse relationships between sperm global DNA methylation, and, both DFI and SDI. However, sperm global DNA methylation level was not related to sperm vitality or morphology. Our findings suggest that global sperm DNA methylation levels are related to conventional sperm parameters, as well as, sperm chromatin and DNA integrity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In France, oocyte donation program is still underdeveloped because of lack of donors and this situation entails an important wave of cross border medical tourism to different European countries mainly Spain and Greece. In 2011, the General inspection of social affairs report recommended to the biomedicine agency to promote spontaneous oocyte donation via different channels of information to develop this national program. The main objective of this study is to assess the knowledge of women after baby delivery about oocyte donation. The second objective is the identification of ways to assure better information and to promote oocyte donation. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a prospective study with anonymous questionnaire distribution to women after delivery at obstetrics/gynecology department of the Regional University Hospital and Maternity-Children Unit "Victor-Pauchet" of Amiens, from December 2012 to January 2013. RESULTS Two hundred and fifty-five questionnaires were distributed and 242 of them were analyzed (94.9%). About oocyte donation knowledge: 28% did not know it was possible, 45% did not know it was legal in France, 54% did not know who was concerned and 36% know that a treatment is necessary, 9% think that oocyte donation is paid and 10% it is non-anonymous. If 67% seems to be favorable to this initiative, only 35% could accept to realize it. About information efficiency, 88% think not to receive enough information, 64% would like to have more information. The health care professional wanted to give this information is an obstetrician (51%), a midwife (37%) and a nurse (12%). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Oocyte donation program is misoriented due to a lack of information. Obstetricians and midwives have an important educational and informative role to support oocyte donation. Specific strategy of communication and valuable targeted information are needed to motivate potential donor and achieve the objectives of the program.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We describe the analysis of an apparently balanced inherited reciprocal translocation in a fetus presenting with multiple congenital abnormalities, characterize the structural chromosome rearrangement, and report an unexpected additional imbalance to the inherited rearrangement. METHODS DNA microarray was used to screen for genomic imbalance in subtelomeric and interstitial critical regions. High-resolution comparative genomic hybridization was used to screen for genomic imbalance at a genome-wide level. Fluorescence in situ hybridization using whole-chromosome painting and specific probes was used to characterize the inherited translocation, and the size of the de novoadditional deletion. RESULTS An unexpected additional deletion was found in 7qter on derivative 10 of the inherited maternal reciprocal translocation t(7;10)(q11.23; p14). CONCLUSIONS We show the usefulness of genome-wide and specific molecular cytogenetic techniques to explore apparently balanced rearrangements.

Abstract
Natural cycle and in-vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes are becoming interesting alternatives to classical assisted reproduction technology approaches for patients, especially in those at high risk for ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome or with poor ovarian reserve. More than for their clinical and biological indications, natural cycle and IVM of oocytes can also be considered as good social and economic alternatives to the classical IVF treatment, based on their financial cost-effectiveness with exclusion of expensive medications. To be successful, IVM must entail both nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation, and its maturation and success rates are affected by the number of collected cumulus layers, the degree of atresia and the maturation rate between 24 and 48 h. Endogenous regulation of oocyte maturation is a complex sequence of events regulated by endocrine parameters, oocyte/follicular cross-talk, and intra-oocyte kinase/phosphatase interactions. This complex process requires a better definition of each contributing factor affecting oocyte development and the resulting embryo quality. The clinical aspects of IVM have been documented earlier; the present paper will mainly focus on the biological aspect of oocyte maturation in vitro and the quality of derived embryos.

Abstract
Genotype-phenotype correlation in women with an abnormal phenotype associated with a duplication of the long arm of the X chromosome remains unclear. We report on prenatal diagnosis and follow-up of a girl with an Xq duplication and dysmorphic features. The abnormal phenotype included growth retardation, hypotonia, and nystagmus. In order to improve the resolution of the cytogenetic analysis, we used both conventional and array-based comparative genomic hybridization to perform a global molecular cytogenetic analysis of the genome. These molecular cytogenetic analyses showed a direct duplication Xq21.1 --> q25 without other chromosomal abnormalities. This duplication was originating from the paternal X chromosome. Moreover, a skewed X-inactivation pattern was observed leading to a partial functional disomy of the chromosomal region Xq21.1q25. This report and review of the literature suggest that functional disomy for chromosome X could explain the abnormal phenotype. In prenatal diagnosis, this can have implication for patient management and genetic counseling.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cytogenetic analysis of spontaneous abortion samples can be limited by culture failure. Failure to grow in vitro has traditionally been suspected to be due to in vivo death of tissue associated with spontaneous abortion (SAB) or simply technical factors of growth in culture. METHOD We used array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) to investigate chromosomal imbalances in products of conception that failed to grow in vitro. RESULTS Our data on 26 cases of SABs that failed to grow in culture are compared and contrasted with published data on cytogenetic findings following in vitro culture. The results revealed abnormalities uncommonly seen by classic cytogenetic methods. These abnormalities include high rates of double aneuploidy and autosomal monosomy. The data taken together suggest that classic cytogenetics of spontaneous abortion may yield normal karyotypes or selected abnormal karyotypes that permit cell proliferation in vitro while Array CGH detects other abnormalities. CONCLUSION Array CGH is becoming an important clinical assay for unbalanced chromosome abnormalities whether cells grow in culture or not and in cases of analysis on one or few cells.

Abstract
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis for aneuploidy screening (PGD-AS) using sequential in situ hybridization was applied for aneuploidy testing in 276 couples with 282 ART cycles. Patients with advanced maternal age (AMA, n = 147), recurrent implantation failure (RIF, n = 48), repeated early spontaneous abortion (RSA, n = 32) and abnormal gamete cell morphology (AGCM, n = 55) including macrocephal sperm forms or cytoplasmic granular oocytes were included. Embryo biopsy was performed on day 3 in a calcium-magnesium-free medium by using a noncontact diode laser system. After fixation and enzymatic treatment, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) was carried out on 1147 blastomeres with specific probes for chromosomes 13, 16, 18, 21 and 22 for AMA group, 13, 18, 21, X and Y for AGCM group and 13, 16, 18, 21, 22, X and Y for RIF and RSA groups respectively. The overall chromosomal abnormality rate in analyzed embryos was 40.9%, with no significant difference between AMA, RIF and RSA groups (p > 0.05). However, AGCM group presented a higher rate of chromosomal aneuploidies (57.4%) than the other three groups (p < 0.01). A total of 84% biopsied embryos presented cleavage in 24 h and embryo transfer was realized in 278 cycles. In four cycles, no chromosomally normal embryo was found for embryo transfer. A total of 88 pregnancies (31.6%) were achieved, 19.3% resulted in abortion and 63 healthy births were obtained, with a total of 93 babies born. Aneuploidy testing in couples with poor prognosis undergoing ART cycles is a useful tool to increase the chance of ART success. Furthermore, abnormal gamete cell morphology should be considered one of the major indications for PGD in ART programs as high aneuploidy rates were observed in this group.

Abstract
Comparative genomic hybridization on a microarray (microarray-CGH) allows to detect genomic chromosome imbalances. In order to assess its value to detect small chromosome imbalances observed in a clinical setting, using a DNA chip available commercially (Spectral Genomics, Houston, Texas, USA), we studied the DNA of 9 patients carrying a well characterized chromosome imbalance and the DNA of 11 patients where cytogenetic techniques such as high resolution banding karyotype, FISH using subtelomeric probes and comparative genomic hybridization on metaphase chromosomes conclude to a normal and/or balanced karyotype. A result was obtained for 19/20 patients. Failure of hybridization was observed for one patient. For all the other cases the sex of patients was correctly identified. Microarray-CGH was able to correctly diagnose the chromosome imbalance in 6/8 patients carrying such a defect i.e 9/11 imbalances (deletion or duplication) were detected. No chromosome imbalance was observed in 11 patients considered normal and/or balanced using cytogenetic techniques. Several clones were found to be polymorphic and required FISH studies to eliminate duplication or deletion. In conclusion, we think that this commercially available DNA chip might be useful to screen for chromosome imbalances. However, technical improvements are still necessary before using it in a clinical setting. Also, further studies are necessary to assess its sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract
In human assisted reproduction, low embryo quality due to retarded growth and abnormal cellular morphology results in fewer embryos suitable for transfer. This study aimed to assess the extent of DNA fragmentation and aneuploidy in spare slow growing or arrested human embryos. In 19 assisted reproduction cycles, a total of 57 embryos unsuitable for embryo transfer were used for simultaneous apoptosis and aneuploidy assessment. Among them, 31 (54.3%) showed DNA fragmentation by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUDP nick-end labelling (TUNEL) analysis. Among 26 embryos that were negative for TUNEL, interpretable fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) results were obtained for 25 embryos (96.2%). Sixteen embryos were detected to be chromosomally abnormal (64.0%); three were found to be chaotic, six had complex aneuploidy, six had complete monosomy and one was polyploid. The results show that a high level of DNA fragmentation and aneuploidy are common in embryos with slow growth and/or low quality. More detailed studies are needed to assess the effect of factors such as ovarian stimulation regimens and in-vitro culture conditions. Moreover, application of simultaneous TUNEL and FISH techniques can be informative regarding DNA integrity and aneuploidy.

Abstract
We examined cytological and cytogenetic parameters of 1076 oocytes and 385 zygotes that failed to develop post in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Out of 1076 oocytes, 894 (83%) arrested oocytes showed a first polar body and were thus assumed arrested at metaphase II while the remainder showed no polar body. In the group of oocytes with a polar body, 20.5% had an abnormal karyotype. Cytologically, premature sperm chromosome condensation was noted in 28.3% of uncleaved oocytes. This high PCC can be explained by the different grades of oocyte maturity from one center to another. Oocytes from older women showed no increased aneuploidy but did show increased premature chromosome condensation. Analysis by classical technique of 220 uncleaved zygotes showed 91 with highly condensed chromosomes, 53 with asynchrony of condensation, 31 with pulverized chromosomes, and 45 arrested at the first somatic metaphase. Out of 385 arrested zygotes, 165 were explored by in situ hybridization. FISH using a set of 7 chromosome-specific probes showed aneuploidy in the chromosomes analyzed (13, 16, 18, 21, 22, X, Y) in 21.8% of blocked zygotes (19-25% depending on morphology). Extrapolating to other chromosomes, we expect that a vast majority of blocked zygotes and oocytes probably carry chromosome abnormalities. These data demonstrate the contributions of chromosome disorder in early embryo development blocking and implantation failure. Certainly, the issue of cytoplasm and nuclear immaturity and their relation to each other and to chromosome abnormalities provides a fertile area for future investigation in ART.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study aim was to evaluate the relationship between pronuclei morphology scoring (PNMS) and the chromosomal complement of embryos in couples with severe male infertility undergoing ICSI. A total of 3116 pre-embryos was scored according to PNMS in 452 cycles. METHODS Pre-embryos were classified into eight categories based on the alignment, size, linear or irregular distribution of pronuclear bodies (PNB), position and clarity of cytoplasmic halo and abutting of the pronucleus. These categories were subdivided into groups I and II according to the similarity and distribution of PNB. RESULTS In total, 2574 pre-embryos formed by using ejaculated sperm, while 542 pre-embryos developed by injection of testicular sperm or round spermatids. More group II pre-embryos with markedly different morphology from group I were formed after ICSI with testicular sperm than with fresh ejaculated sperm (32.1 versus 22.7%, P < 0.01). Of 490 pre-embryos in which pronuclear morphology was evaluated, 263 were biopsied for preimplantation genetic diagnosis. The rate of chromosomal abnormality was higher in embryos developed from group II pre-embryos (52.2%) than in embryos developed from group I prezygotes (37.6%, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Group II pre-embryos had markedly different morphology from group I, and had a low rate of blastocyst formation and high risk of chromosomally abnormal embryos. When testicular sperm and round spermatids were used for ICSI, more group II pre-embryos and chromosomally abnormal embryos were produced than with ejaculated sperm. Pronuclear morphology was correlated with chromosomal complement, and impacted upon by the sperm source.

Abstract
Transfer at the blastocyst stage has been proposed to increase the pregnancy rates after in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer. In the first period of experiments, culture in a single medium, from fertilization to blastocyst led to disappointing results: low blastocyst formation rates and low implantation rates per blastocyst transferred. Then the period of co-culture began (starting with animals in the early 1980s and with humans in the early 1990s). With this technique, using tubal or granulosa cells or layers obtained from established cell lines of transport epithelium origin, blastocyst formation has reached approximately 50% and the overall implantation rate is approximately 25%. The embryos obtained have high numbers of cells (> 200 cells for a day 6 expanded blastocyst). Co-culture with fibroblasts has been found to be useless. This technology has been proven reliable and reproducible: Blastocyst formation is highly dependent on maternal and paternal factors. It has enabled the design of efficient freezing and thawing protocols. Numerous interesting observations have been obtained to reach the third period, i.e. the use of sequential media. A simple medium is used for fertilization, then another one is used from fertilization up to the 4-cell stage (beginning of waves of transcription), then a third medium is used for development up to the blastocyst stage. The results obtained seem very similar to the one obtained with co-culture. Obviously it is now time, in humans, to switch to sequential media.

Abstract
A new methodology for blastocyst biopsy that uses a 1.48 microm diode laser is described. Trophectoderm cells are biopsied after laster zona drilling and culture, fixed and processed for fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) analysis. Preliminary results on the efficiency of the procedure and blastocyst recovery rate are promising. Blastocyst laser biopsy is a useful tool in preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) as it allows a more reliable diagnosis and widens the diagnostic possibilities on account of the higher number of cells obtained in the biopsy.

Abstract
Cytogenetic analysis of bone marrow cells from a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome associated with eosinophilia showed a complex translocation with a 46,XY,t(2;18;2)(p23;q11;q32) karyotype. The patient has refractory anemia (RA) according to the French-American-British Cooperative Group (FAB) classification, and after 90 months of follow-up he shows no evidence of leukemic transformation. This chromosomal abnormality has not been previously described in myelodysplastic syndromes and may be associated with good prognosis as the patient has been stable for a long time.

Abstract
We describe a phenotypically normal female with secondary amenorrhoea due to a translocation of genetic material involving the long arm of chromosome X (Xq28) and the long arm of chromosome Y (Yq11). We used fluorescent in situ hybridization to localize the breakpoint on the Xq. The Y chromosome breakpoint was identified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of sequence-tagged sites (STS) specific for interval 5 at Yq11.21. The relationship between this X:Y translocation and premature ovarian failure is discussed.
