Lab 1 Assessment - Researching a Topic | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In the lab I showed you how to find the PubMed reference database and search it using a topic word. Lab 1 assessment will be for you to use this to find a research reference on "fertilization" and write a brief summary of the main finding of the paper.

During the process of oocyte retrieval, a technique used in in vitro fertilization (IVF), oocytes may become exposed to ovarian endometriotic fluid, an event that is unlikely however possible in the clinical environment. Hashin et al. investigated the effect of various concentrations of human endometriotic fluid exposure on mice cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) by measuring fertilization, blastocyst formation and hatched blastocyst rate. COCs obtained from 46-week-old female mice were randomly divided into 5 groups and each exposed to differing concentrations of endometriotic fluid obtained from a 29-year-old patient during aspiration, for 5 minutes. Final concentrations were 0.625%, 1.25%, 2.5% and 5%. COCs were then inseminated with sperm retrieved from male mice. Fertilisation was assessed day 1 following insemination by formation of 2-cell, and blastocyst formation on day 5.
Results indicated no apparent difference between the endometriotic fluid treated groups and the non-exposed control group except for the 0.625% exposure group which had a higher fertilization rate. Blastocyst formation rate and hatched blastocyst rates were also similar between exposed and non-exposed groups, overall indicating no detrimental impact on fertilization, blastocyst formation, and hatched blastocyst rates, following exposure to differing concentrations of endometriotic fluid. Previous experiments have generated results proving otherwise such as an experiment by Piromlertamorn et al. using mice. It was shown that use of a single concentration of endometriotic fluid leads to similar results in fertilization and blastocyst formation rate, however a significant decrease in blastocyst hatching rate. Despite the result, the authors noted this decrease was also observed in serum-treated groups, providing conflicting results. Hashin et al. have additionally noted a few limitations to their experiment where the endometriotic fluid utilised was only from a single patient, and pregnancy and implantation rates were not analysed. The authors of the study stress that to truly assess the effect of endometriotic fluid on oocyte and embryonic development, the contents of the fluid should be studied further to determine cytoxic effect, and its effect on pregnancy and implantation.
Mark Hill 18 August 2016 - You have added the citation correctly and written a good descriptive summary of the article findings. I guess I am am wondering why the researchers expected human endometriotic fluid to have an effect on mice? Note the house mouse generally only lives about a year. | Assessment 5/5 |
