Abstract

Whether one carefully and meticulously records detailed observations in the laboratory, or jumps feet first into new and exciting areas of investigation, each scientist contributes to the advances being made in the control of human reproduction. The study of spermatozoa, oocytes, sperm-oocyte interaction, preembryo growth and development, and early pregnancy rewards us with breakthroughs in innovative technology and promotes paths of better understanding. One cannot search through the massive amounts of currently available literature without desiring to try "this" technique, expound on "that" one, take someone else's work a little further, or look at one's own results from a different angle. Presented here are some informative data, most published within the past year. Oocyte maturational competence and integrity, sperm function and quality, preembryo culture conditions, preembryo morphology, and ovarian age all emerge as factors important for interpreting a patient's chance of achieving pregnancy.

Neural tissue continues its maturation at the site of neural tube closure defects: implications for prenatal intervention in human samples.

OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to investigate the relation between the embryological development and neural tissue maturation at the site where the neural plate failed to form a neural tube. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Samples from 15 aborted human fetuses with neural tube defects (NTD). All of the fetuses were between 20 and 25 gestational weeks old. Indicators of neural tissue maturation, formation of basal lamina, expression of integrins and neuron specific class III beta tubulin (tuj1) were investigated. To detect the adverse effects of the environment, if any, p53 and bcl-2 activity at both sites of the open and closed neural plate were investigated as well. RESULTS: No difference was found in the expression of maturation-related molecules at the site of the neural plate that remained open compared with the site where the neural tube is normally formed. While high p53 activity was noted in neural tissue at the site of the neural tube defect, no such activity was detected in the neural tissue where the neural tube is normally formed. CONCLUSION: Our results suggested that maturation and differentiation of neural tissue continued regardless of the failure of neural tube closure. Therefore, the neurological deficits that are encountered in NTD patients should be related to secondary damage such as amnion fluid toxicity, uterus contractions, labor, etc. It seems valuable to save the neural plate before the negative effects of the environment renders the neural tissue functionless.

Sex-specific antenatal reference growth charts for uncomplicated singleton pregnancies at 15-40 weeks of gestation.

OBJECTIVE: Female fetuses, on average, weigh less than male fetuses at all gestational ages. The purpose of this study was to compare female and male fetuses in terms of intrauterine ultrasound growth measurements and to develop gestational-age-related charts based on a computerized perinatal database. METHODS: This was a retrospective study of unselected women in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, who had a normal scan at 10-14 weeks. Data analysis was performed using measurements obtained from a mixed-race population of 4234 women, who underwent 5198 ultrasound examinations. The scans were performed by four trained sonographers, according to a standardized protocol. Routine measurements included biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC) and femur length (FL). The main end-points were sex- and race-specific differences in fetal biometry, which were also used to estimate fetal weight. RESULTS: The base-line demographic characteristics and risk factors were comparable in female and male fetuses. Significant differences in fetal BPD, HC, AC and estimated fetal weight, but not FL, were seen between male and female fetuses. Centile charts for each of these variables were constructed for both male and female fetuses. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that small but consistent sex-related differences in prenatal BPD, HC and AC measurements are established by as early as 15 weeks of gestation. The use of sex-specific nomograms may improve the prenatal assessment of fetal growth as well as the diagnosis of structural abnormalities.
