[Pregnancy and delivery with transfer of vitrified blastocysts following trophectoderm biopsy]. / Terhesség és szülés trophectoderma-biopsziát követoen vitrifikált blasztociszták beültetésével.

Application of preimplantation genetic diagnosis makes it possible to transfer only embryos unaffected by a certain genetic disorder. The authors have applied the combination of trophectoderm biopsy and vitrification in order to detect a monogenic disorder. Previously diagnosed type 1 neurofibromatosis of the woman was the indication for genetic examination. In vitro fertilisation and embryo culture was performed using sequential culture mediums. Seven blastocysts could be sampled on the fifth day and were vitrified subsequently. Two blastocysts turned out to be genetically normal based on the result of genetic examination using polimerase chain reaction. A healthy boy was delivered following the transfer of warmed blastocysts and an uneventful singleton pregnancy.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment of the ovaries significantly improves fertility parameters and reproductive outcomes in diminished ovarian reserve patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

INTRODUCTION: The incidence of infertility caused by diminished ovarian reserve has become a significant problem worldwide. The beneficial effect of PRP treatment of the ovaries has already been described, but the high-level evidence of its effectiveness has not yet been proven. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic search was performed in five databases, until March 12th, 2024. Both randomized and non-randomized studies that compared PRP treatment of the ovaries to self-control among women with diminished ovarian reserve were eligible for inclusion. Hormonal levels (Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), Luteinizing hormone (LH), Estradiol (E2), In-vitro fertilization parameters (Antral follicle count, oocyte, and embryo count), biochemical and spontaneous pregnancy and livebirth were measured. RESULTS: 38 eligible studies were identified reporting on 2256 women. The level of AMH rised, the level of FSH decreased significantly after the PRP treatment. AMH 1 month MD 0.20 (n = 856, p > 0.001, 95% CI: [0.12;0.28]), 2 months MD 0.26 (n = 910, p = 0.013, 95% CI: [0.07;0.44]), 3 months MD 0.36 (n = 881, p = 0.002,95% CI: [0.20;0.52]). FSH 1 month MD -10.20 (n = 796, p > 0.039, 95% CI: [-19.80;-0.61]), 2 months MD -7.02 (n = 910, p = 0.017, 95% CI: [-12.48; -1.57]), 3 months MD -8.87 (n = 809, p = 0.010, 95% CI: [-14.19; -3.55]). The antral follicle count elevated significantly MD 1.60 (n = 1418, p = < 0.001, 95% CI: [0.92; 2.27]). Significant improvement was observed in the number of retrieved oocytes MD 0.81 (n = 802, p = 0.002, 95% CI: [0.36; 1.26]), and embryos created MD 0.91 (n = 616, p = 0.001, 95% CI: [0.45;1.36]). The incidence of spontaneous pregnancy following PRP treatment showed a rate with a proportion of 0.07 (n = 1370, 95% CI: 0.04-0.12), the rate of biochemical pregnancy was 0.18 (n = 1800, 95% CI: 0.15-0.22), livebirth was 0.11 (n = 1482, 95% CI: 0.07-0.15). CONCLUSIONS: Our meta-analysis showed that based on protocolized analysis of the widest scientific literature search to date, containing predominantly observational studies, PRP treatment resulted in a statistically significant improvement in the main fertility parameters of diminished ovarian reserve women. Further multicenter, randomized trials, with large patient numbers and a longer follow-up period are needed to certify our results and develop the most effective treatment protocol.
