STUDY QUESTION: Is the live birth rate (LBR) per embryo thawed/warmed higher when Day 3 cleavage stage embryos are cryopreserved by vitrification compared with slow freezing? SUMMARY ANSWER: The LBR per embryo thawed/warmed was higher after vitrification than after slow freezing on Day 3, based on better embryo survival, quality and availability of embryos in the vitrification group. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Post-thawing survival rate of cleavage-stage embryos has been reported to be higher after vitrification than after slow freezing. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION: This RCT was performed in an academic tertiary center between September 2011 and March 2013. If supernumerary embryos were available on Day 3, patients were randomized at the time of cryopreservation using a computerized system to determine a simple allocation to the vitrification group or the slow freezing group and all embryos were frozen with the same technique. The primary outcome of this study was the LBR per embryo thawed/warmed. Power calculation revealed that 184 thawed embryos were needed in each group (β = 0.8, α < 0.05) to test the hypothesis that the LBR perembryothawed/warmed was significantly higher (16%) after vitrification than after slow freezing (6%). PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS: Patients,40 years old undergoing their first oocyte retrieval (OR), with embryo transfer and with supernumerary embryos on Day 3, were randomized. Day 3 embryos with ≥6 cells,,25% fragmentation and morphologically equal blastomeres were cryopreserved by slow freezing (using 1,2-propanediol and 0.1 M sucrose as cryoprotectant) or by closed vitrification using commercially available freezing/vitrification media. Survival was defined as ≥50% cells were intact after thawing. Thawed embryos were further cultured overnight. In total, 307 patients were randomized to slow freezing (155 patients, 480 embryos) or vitrification (152 patients, 495 embryos). main results and the role of chance: By March 2013,200 embryos were thawed after slow freezing in 95 cycles for 79 patients and 217 embryos were warmed after vitrification in 121 cycles in 90 patients. The LBR per embryo thawed/warmed was significantly higher after vitrification (16.1% (35/217)) than after slow freezing (5.0% (10/200); P, 0.0022; relative risk (RR) 3.23; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.64-6.35). Similarly, the implantation rate per embryo thawed/warmed was higher after vitrification (20.7% (45/217) than after slow freezing (7.5%(15/200); P = 0.0012; RR 2.76; CI 1.59-4.81). The survival rate was significantly higher after vitrification (84.3% (183/217) than after slow freezing (52.5% (105/200); P, 0.0001). Significantly more embryos were fully intact after vitrification (75.4% (138/183) than after slow freezing (28.6% (30/105); P, 0.0001).The number of transfers was significantly higher after vitrification (90.1% (109/121)) than after slow freezing (73.7%(70/95); P = 0.0024). LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION: Survival rates in the slow freezing group were low in this study. Additional Rats are needed to compare reproductive outcome after vitrification and after slow freezing with 1,2-propanediol and 0.2 M sucrose, since this method has been reported to have better survival than the method used in our study. Our findings are only applicable to the specific slow freezing cryopreservation medium used in our study, and not to any other commercially available media. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS: When compared with slow freezing using 1,2-propanediol and 0.1 M sucrose as cryoprotectant, vitrification of Day 3 cleavage stage embryos resulted in a higher LBR per embryo warmed, and may therefore result into a higher cumulative delivery rate after one oocyte retrieval.

Study Question: To what extent do the management of endometriosis and the symptoms that remain after treatment affect the quality of life in women with the disease?Summary Answer: Many women with endometriosis had impaired quality of life and continued to suffer from endometriosis-associated symptoms even though their endometriosis has been managed in tertiary care centres.What Is Known Already: The existing literature indicates that quality of life and work productivity is reduced in women with endometriosis. However, most studies have small sample sizes, are treatment related or examine newly diagnosed patients only.Study Design, Size, Duration: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey among 931 women with endometriosis treated in 12 tertiary care centres in 10 countries.Participants/materials, Setting, Methods: Women diagnosed with endometriosis who had at least one contact related to endometriosis-associated symptoms during 2008 with a participating centre were enrolled into the study. The study investigated the effect of endometriosis on education, work and social wellbeing, endometriosis-associated symptoms and health-related quality of life, by using questions obtained from the World Endometriosis Research Foundation (WERF) GSWH instrument (designed and validated for the WERF Global Study on Women's Health) and the Short Form 36 version 2 (SF-36v2).Main Results and the Role Of Chance: Of 3216 women invited to participate in the study, 1450 (45%) provided informed consent and out of these, 931 (931/3216 = 29%) returned the questionnaires. Endometriosis had affected work in 51% of the women and affected relationships in 50% of the women at some time during their life. Dysmenorrhoea was reported by 59%, dyspareunia by 56% and chronic pelvic pain by 60% of women. Quality of life was decreased in all eight dimensions of the SF-36v2 compared with norm-based scores from a general US population (all P < 0.01). Multivariate regression analysis showed that number of co-morbidities, chronic pain and dyspareunia had an independent negative effect on both the physical and mental component of the SF-36v2.Limitations, Reasons For Caution: The fact that women were enrolled in tertiary care centres could lead to a possible over-representation of women with moderate-to-severe endometriosis, because the participating centres typically treat more complex and referred cases of endometriosis. The response rate was relatively low. Since there was no Institute Review Board approval to do a non-responder investigation on basic characteristics, some uncertainty remains regarding the representativeness of the investigated population.Wider Implications Of the Findings: This international multicentre survey represents a large group of women with endometriosis, in all phases of the disease, which increases the generalizability of the data. Women still suffer from frequent symptoms, despite tertiary care management, in particular chronic pain and dyspareunia. As a result their quality of life is significantly decreased. A patient-centred approach with extensive collaboration across disciplines, such as pain specialists, psychologists, sexologists and social workers, may be a valuable strategy to improve the long-term care of women with endometriosis.Study Funding/competing Interest(s): The WERF EndoCost study is funded by the World Endometriosis Research Foundation (WERF) through grants received from Bayer Schering Pharma AG, Takeda Italia Farmaceutici SpA, Pfizer Ltd and the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology. The sponsors did not have a role in the design and conduct of the study; collection, management, analysis and interpretation of the data; and preparation, review or approval of the manuscript.

This study was done to test the hypothesis that the incidence and recurrence of retrograde menstruation is higher in baboons with spontaneous endometriosis than in those without. A total of 399 laparoscopies was performed on 113 female baboons. Group 1 consisted of 84 animals with a normal pelvis (including 23 that later underwent induction of endometriosis and were assigned to group 4), group 2 comprised nine baboons with spontaneous endometriosis acquired during the last 2 years of the study, group 3 had 18 baboons with long-term spontaneous disease, and group 4 comprised 25 animals with induced endometriosis. Retrograde menstruation was defined by the presence of blood-stained peritoneal fluid (red or dark brown) during menses. Recurrence of retrograde menstruation was analysed during the first two laparoscopies in 13 baboons. Peritoneal fluid was 10 times more frequently blood-stained during menses (62%) than during non-menstrual phases (6%). Retrograde menstruation was observed more frequently in animals with spontaneous disease (groups 2 and 3, 83%) than in animals with a normal pelvis (group 1, 51%). Recurrence of retrograde menstruation was observed more frequently in baboons with spontaneous endometriosis (5/5) than in those without (3/8). The results of this study demonstrate that retrograde menstruation is common in baboons, with a higher prevalence and recurrence in animals with spontaneous endometriosis than in those without.

- Abstract
In women with endometriosis, changes in peripheral blood and peritoneal fluid white blood cell (WBC) populations have been reported, but it is known whether these alterations are casually related to or a consequence of endometriosis. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that peripheral blood and peritoneal fluid WBC populations are altered in baboons with spontaneous and induced endometriosis compared to animals without disease. Peripheral blood and peritoneal fluid samples were obtained at laparoscopy from 60 baboons with a normal pelvis (n = 23), spontaneous endometriosis (n = 19) and induced disease (n = 12), luteal phase (n = 20), pregnancy or nursing (n = 11) and in non-cycling animals (n = 8). The WBC concentration was analysed with a Coulter counter and fluorescent antibody cell separation (FACS) analysis was used to measure cluster designation (CD)2, CD4, CD8, interleukin (IL)2R and leucine (Leu) M5 subsets. In peripheral blood, the percentage of CD4+ and IL2R+ cells was increased in baboons with stage II-IV spontaneous or induced endometriosis, suggesting that alterations in peripheral blood WBC populations may be an effect of endometriosis. In peritoneal fluid the WBC concentration and percentages of Leu M5+ macrophages and CD8+ lymphocytes were only increased in baboons with spontaneous endometriosis and not in animals with induced disease, suggesting that alterations in peritoneal fluid WBC populations may lead to the development of endometriosis. In summary, the results of this study suggest that peripheral blood and peritoneal fluid immune cell populations are affected in baboons with endometriosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
This study was performed to test the hypothesis that anti-endometrial, lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity and natural killer (NK) activity are reduced in baboons with endometriosis when compared to animals with a normal pelvis. Lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity was determined in 28 baboons (15 with endometriosis, 13 with normal pelvis) and NK cell activity was evaluated in 42 baboons (31 with endometriosis, 11 with normal pelvis). Anti-endometrial lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity was determined by a 20 h assay with effector-target ratios of 50:1 and 25:1. The NK activity (K562 cell line as target) was simultaneously measured in all animals during a 4 h assay with effector:target ratios of 200:1, 100:1, 50:1, 25:1, 12:1, 6:1 and 3:1. Statistical analysis was performed using analysis of variance, paired rank, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis and Fisher exact tests where appropriate. Lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity was significantly lower (P < 0.025) in baboons with endometriosis (mean 5.9 +/- 8.7%, median 0%, range 0-26%) than in animals with a normal pelvis (mean 22.9 +/- 23.0%, median 7%, range 0-78%). This difference could be explained by the absence of cytotoxicity in baboons with moderate to severe endometriosis, probably due to high spontaneous release of 51Cr from labelled target cells. When stricter criteria were used and only animals with a labelling index (maximal/spontaneous release) of > or = 1.7 were analysed (n = 11), the anti-endometrial cytotoxicity was comparable between baboons with and without endometriosis. NK cell activity was also comparable in primates with and without endometriosis. In conclusion, no difference in lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity and NK cell activity was observed between baboons with and without endometriosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
