[Pathologic oocytes within the scope of in vitro fertilization].
Data of 67 patients, in whom 114 inseminated oocytes with morphological abnormalities were registered by means of light microscopy, were compared with those of a control group consisting of 69 patients where in vitro fertilization (IVF) proved successful. Significant correlations were found between certain parameters of the IVF attempt and the appearance of the described pathological changes in the oocytes. A significantly higher incidence of oocyte pathology was found with elevated progesterone and also LH values during the follicular phase. With a great number of follicles and in the case of small-sized follicles there were significantly more pathological ova--both degenerated and pathologically fertilized. A good oestrogen increase after ovulation induction with human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) was associated with fewer morphological abnormalities of the inseminated oocytes. When spermatozoa with lower total motility (less than or equal to 40%) or an increased percentage of pathological forms (greater than 60%) were used for IVF, significantly more pathological oocytes appeared. A pathological spermiogram was noticeably correlated with an increased occurrence of a solitary decayed nuclear structure of the mature ovum. The significance of these connections and a hypothesis of the development of the described nuclear structure are discussed.
