Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: To compare embryonic developmental competence and clinical outcomes of oocytes matured in vivo (IVF oocytes) and those matured in vitro (IVM oocytes) from the same IVM/IVF cycles, and to analyze the clinical efficiency of a melatonin-supplemented in vitro maturation system combined with a modified IVM/IVF protocol.
METHODS: We randomly recruited 22 patients undergoing IVM/IVF treatment protocol in our medical centre. The fertilization, cleavage and blastocyst formation rates, as well as clinical pregnancy, implantation and live birth/ongoing pregnancy rates were analysed and compared between IVF and IVM oocytes. We evaluated mitochondrial function indicators by fluorescence staining and confocal microscopy, including mitochondrial membrane potential, reactive oxygen species and calcium (Ca2+) levels in 15 IVF and 15 IVM oocytes.
RESULTS: There were no significant differences in fertilization or blastocyst formation rates between the IVF and IVM groups, whereas the cleavage rate was significantly higher in the IVF versus IVM group (100% vs 93.4 ± 10.9%, p = 0.03). There were no significant differences in the clinical pregnancy, implantation or live birth/ongoing pregnancy rates between the two groups. The cumulative clinical pregnancy and ongoing pregnancy/live birth rate per pick-up oocyte in the IVM/IVF treatment cycles were 68.2% (15/22) and 54.5% (12/22), respectively. The reactive oxygen species and Ca2+ levels were significantly increased, and mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly decreased, in IVM compared with IVF oocytes.
CONCLUSIONS: The modified IVM/IVF protocol can be effectively applied to the treatment of some indicated patients and achieve ideal clinical outcomes, even though the developmental potential of IVM oocytes may not be as high as IVF oocytes.
