Lab 1 Assessment

Article 1 PMID 26131222

The aim of this article was to determine the impact of oxygen concentration during in vitro culture of human oocytes and embryo on fertilisation, implantation, pregnancy, gestation and abortion rates. Women between 20-48 years old who are seeking for infertility treatments and intracytoplasmic sperm injection participated in this experiment. Embryos were randomly allocated for incubation under three different oxygen conditions, the first group was subjected to 20% Oxygen in air. The second group was initially subjected to 20% Oxygen in air, then on the following day (day 2) 5% Carbon Dioxide and 90% Nitrogen gas was introduced into the system while Oxygen was decreased to 5%. Finally, the third group was subjected to 5% Carbon Dioxide gas and 90% Nitrogen gas throughout the experiment.

To determine its ability to yield a successful pregnancy, the embryo must be cultured and incubated for 2-6 days in a defined medium.

Embryos cultured in 5% Oxygen in air presented highest rates of fertilization and implantation compared to those incubated in 20% Oxygen in air. Meanwhile, embryos cultured in 20% Oxygen in air also presented high rates of fertilisation, high quality embryo and implantation. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection derived embryos cultured in 20% Oxygen in air resulted in lower rates of cleavage compared to those of from the second group, from 20% - 5% Oxygen in air. These results were consistent with the data previously published.


Article 2 PMID 26238449

The objective of this article was to evaluate in vitro maturation, IVM in sub-fertile women with polycystic ovarian syndrome undergoing IVF, by comparing outcomes with a control group of non-polycystic ovarian syndrome women. IVM involves the in vitro culture of immature oocytes from metaphase II, when the oocyte is considered to be fully mature to undergo fertilisation. This could be a groundbreaking procedure for women suffering polycystic ovarian syndrome as these gametes has expressed their maturational and developmental competence after their retrieval from the ovaries.

A total of 268 patients suffering with polycystic ovarian syndrome, 100 PCO patients and 400 controls were included in the investigation. The analysis provided information suggesting that IVM is a preferable approach in treating women with PCOS during an IVF cycle compared to those without the syndrome. Thus is was concluded that IVM was more efficient as a treatment option in terms of clinical pregnancy, implantation and cycle cancellation rate in women suffering PCOS.

Lab 2 - Images

Uploading Images in 5 Easy Steps  
First Read the help page Images and Copyright Tutorial.
Hint - This exercise is best done by using separate tabs on your browser so that you can keep all the relevant pages easily available. You can also use your own discussion page to copy and paste links, text. PMIDs etc that you will need in this process.
  1. Find an image .
    1. Search PubMed using an appropriate search term. Note that there is a special library of complete (full online) article and review texts called PubMed Central (PMC). Be very careful, while some of these PMC papers allow reuse, not all do and to add the reference link to your image you will still need to use the PMID.
    2. You can also make your own search term. In this link example PMC is searched for images related to "embryo+implantation" http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/?term=embryo+implantation&report=imagesdocsum. simply replace "embryo+implantation" with your own search term, but remember not everything in PMC can be reused, you will still need to find the "copyright notice" on the full paper, no notice, no reuse.
    3. Where else can I look? BioMed Central is a separate online database of journals that allow reuse of article content. Also look at the local page Journals that provides additional resources.
    4. You have found an image, go to step 2.
  2. Check the Copyright. I cannot emphasise enough the importance of this second step.
    1. The rule is unless there is an obvious copyright statement that clearly allows reuse (there are several different kinds of copyright, some do not) located in the article or on the article page, move on and find another resource. Not complying with this is a serious academic infringement equivalent to plagiarism."Plagiarism at UNSW is defined as using the words or ideas of others and passing them off as your own." (extract from UNSW statement on Academic Honesty and Plagiarism)
    2. You have found the statement and it allows reuse, go to step 3.
  3. Downloading your image.
    1. Download the image to your own computer. Either use the download image on the page or right click the image.
    2. To find the downloaded image you may have to look in your computer downloads folder, or the default location for downloaded files.
    3. The image file will have its own original name, that you will not be using on the wiki. You can rename it now (see renaming below), but you should also make a note of the original name.
    4. Make sure you have everything ready then for the
    5. You have the image file on your computer, go to step 4.
  4. Uploading your image.
    1. First make sure you have all the information you want to use with the file readily available. There is also a detailed description below.
    2. Towards the bottom of the lefthand menuunder “Toolbox” click Upload file. This will open a new window.
    3. In the top window "Source file", click "Choose file" and then navigate to find the file on the computer. and select the image.
    4. If you have done this correctly the upload window will now have your image file shown in choose file and also in the lower window "File description" in "Destination filename:" DO NOT CLICK UPLOAD FILE YET.
    5. Rename your file in "Destination filename:" this should be a brief filename that describes the image. Not any of the following - the original file name, image, file, my image, your ZID, etc. Many of the common embryology names may have already been used, but you can add a number (01, 02, 03, etc) or the PMID number to the filename to make it unique.
    6. If the filename or image has already been used or exists it will be shown on the upload page. If another student has already uploaded that image you will have to find another file. Duplicated images will not receive a mark, so check before you upload as you cannot delete images.
    7. In the "Summary" window for now just paste the PMID. You will come back and edit this information.
    8. Now click "Upload image" at the bottom of the window, go to step 4.
  5. Edit and Add to your page.
    1. Edit - Open the image with the "Edit" tab at the top of its page. You should see the PMID you had pasted earlier in the new edit window. Add the following information to the summary box.
      1. Image Title as a sub-heading. Under this title add the original figure legend or your own description of the image.
      2. Image Reference sub-sub-heading. Use the PMID link method shown in Lab 1 and you can also have a direct link to the original Journal article.
      3. Image Copyright sub-sub-heading. Add the copyright information under this sub-sub-heading exactly as shown in the original paper.
      4. Student Image template, as shown here {{Template:Student Image}} to show that it is a student uploaded image.
    2. Add - Now add your image to your own page under a subheading for Lab 2 Assessment including a description and a reference link. If still stuck with this last step, look at the example on the Test Student page.
    3. Done!

Students cannot delete images once uploaded. You will need to email me with the full image name and request deletion, that I am happy to do with no penalty if done before I assess.
