Öğe Fresh versus frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer in high responders(Via Medica, 2018) Kalem, Ziya; Namlı Kalem, Müberra; Ruso, Halil; Bakirarar, Batuhan; Gurgan, TimurObjectives:This study aimed to investigate and compare the pregnancy and live birth rates in IVF cycles of frozen-thawed embryo transfers and fresh embryo transfers in a group of women with a high risk of Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Material and methods: The study group consisted of 254 women with a high level of response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. The patients who received fresh cycle embryo transfers with calcium infusions are referred to as the Fresh Ca+ group, and those without the calcium therapy are called the Fresh Ca- group; and we used correspondingly similar terminology for the Frozen group. Results: We observed no statistically significant differences between the cycles of fresh and frozen-thawed embryo transfers in patients with a high risk of OHSS in terms of implantation, clinical pregnancy, and live birth rates. Furthermore, these implantation, clinical pregnancy and live birth rates were not different in the cycles with or without calcium treatment. There was no statistical difference in the OHSS rates between the fresh and frozen-thawed cycles; although, the OHSS rates were less in the two calcium infusion groups (Fresh Ca+ and Frozen-thawed Ca+) than in the without-calcium group.There was no OHSS development in the subjects of the Frozen-thawed Ca+ group. Conclusions: Our study results suggest that fresh and frozen-thawed embryo transfers have similar IVF results in patients with a high risk of OHSS. Calcium infusion is beneficial in preventing OHSS without altering pregnancy rates. Both IVF protocols with calcium infusion can safely be applied in high-responder patients without lowering success rates.Öğe A rat study on the PTEN expression in ovarian tissue in PCOS and folliculogenesis(Nature Portfolio, 2023) Namli Kalem, Muberra; Anadol, Elvan; Kalem, Ziya; Sezginer, Perihan Yalcinkaya; Elmas, Cigdem; Yilmaz, Canan; Bakirarar, BatuhanThe objective of this investigation was to examine alterations in PTEN expression within ovarian tissue in a rat model of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The analysis also encompassed the examination of PTEN alterations in the ovarian tissue throughout the process of folliculogenesis in rats with normal ovulatory cycles. The study involved 12 adult female Sprague-Dawley rats randomly assigned to the letrozole-induced polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) group as part of an animal-based research endeavour. The sections derived from the ovaries were subjected to immunohistochemical staining for PTEN. The evaluation of PTEN staining levels in ovarian tissues was conducted using electron microscopy. Follicle counts, as well as hormonal and biochemical analyses (serum luteinising hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), testosterone, oestradiol levels and serum glucose, triglyceride, HDL and LDL-cholesterol levels), were conducted to provide evidence of the manifestation of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in rats. The number of primordial and Graafian follicles in the PCOS group decreased significantly, and the number of primary, secondary and antral follicles increased significantly. PTEN expression was found to be significantly higher in the PCOS group than in the control group in the primordial follicle oocyte cytoplasm, primordial follicle granulosa cells, primary follicle oocyte cytoplasm, primary follicle granulosa cells, antral follicle oocyte cytoplasm, antral follicle granulosa cells, and corpus luteum (p = 0.007, p = 0.001, p = 0.001, p = 0.001, p = 0.001, p = 0.002, and p = 0.018, respectively). In the non-PCOS group, a time-dependent comparison of the amount of oocyte cytoplasm and PTEN staining in granulosa cells of the oocytes at different stages of development was performed. While the follicles were developing from the primordial follicle to the primary and antral follicle, the amount of PTEN staining in the oocyte cytoplasm decreased, whereas the PTEN activity in the granulosa cells increased as the oocyte developed (p = 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively). The current investigation demonstrated changes in PTEN expression in ovarian tissue throughout the course of normal folliculogenesis, as well as in instances of disrupted folliculogenesis, with a focus on rats with PCOS.
