Abstract: Objective We compared the efﬁcacy, safety, and immunogenicity of a biosimilar recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (Folitime®) with Gonal-f® in women undergoing ovarian stimulation for in-vitro fertilization. Methods This randomized (1:1), multicenter, assessor-blinded, non-inferiority, parallel-group, controlled study conducted at four infertility clinics in Argentina included infertile normogonadotropic women with ages below 39 years, with menstrual cycles of 25/35 days and a body mass index of 18-32 kg/m2 undergoing assisted reproductive technology therapy. During a 5-day fixed-dose phase, the women received 225 IU/day of Folitime® (n=49) or Gonal-f® (n=44), followed by a dose-adaptation phase up to a maximum of 450 IU/day. The non-inferiority margin for oocyte retrieval was estimated at -4 oocytes (one-sided test). Immunogenicity was investigated on days 9 and 84, following the start of treatment. Results The mean number of oocytes retrieved was 12.6 (SD 7.4) in the Folitime® group and 13.4 (SD 6.9) in the Gonal-f® group (per protocol analysis, 95% confidence interval = -3.82; 2.33), within the non-inferiority margin. Pregnancy rate at week 10 was 24.4% among subjects treated with Folitime® and 19.5% for subjects treated with Gonal-f®. One serious adverse drug reaction-late mild ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome and deep venous thrombosis in the left deep jugular vein-occurred in a subject treated with Folitime®. None of the subjects developed antibodies against the study drugs. There were no unexpected safety findings. Conclusions Folitime® is non-inferior to Gonal-f®, with no differences in the safety profile and has been approved as a biosimilar in Argentina.

Abstract: During decidualization, endometrial stromal cells undergo reticular stress (RS) and unfolded protein response (UPR), allowing the endoplasmic reticulum-expansion and immunomodulators production. Physiological RS generates the activation of sensing proteins, inflammasome activation and mature-IL-1β secretion, associated with pro-implantatory effects. We focus on the impact of RS and UPR on decidualized cells and whether they induce a physiological sterile inflammatory response through IL-1β production. Human endometrial stromal cell line (HESC) after decidualization treatment with MPA + dibutyryl-cAMP (Dec) increased the expression of RS-sensors (ATF6, PERK and IRE1α) and UPR markers (sXBP1 and CHOP) in comparison with Non-dec cells. Then we found increased NLRP3 expression in Dec cells compared with Non-dec cells. In fact STF-083010 (an IRE1α inhibitor) prevented this increase. Downstream, increased levels of active caspase-1 on Dec cells were detected by FAM-Flica Caspase-1 associated with an increase in IL-1β production. Moreover, the treatment with STF-083010 decreased the invasion index observed in Dec cells, evaluated by an in vitro model of implantation. In endometrial biopsies from recurrent spontaneous abortion patients an increased expression of IRE1α was found in comparison with fertile women; while recurrent implantation failure samples showed a lower expression of sXBP1, TXNIP and NLRP3 than fertile women, suggesting that RS/UPR tenors might condition endometrial receptivity.

Abstract: Objective Cryopreservation of human spermatozoa is fundamental in assisted reproductive technology. At present, slow freezing techniques are widely used for sperm cryopreservation. Recently, sperm vitrification has been proposed as an alternative to slow freezing. This study aimed to compare the efficiency of slow versus ultra-rapid freezing after thawing and to determine the level of DNA fragmentation in post-thaw normal human semen samples processed through each of the cryopreservation techniques. Methods Ultra-rapid freezing is a method that only differs from conventional ultra-rapid freezing in the use of sucrose as a cryoprotectant. In experiment 1, 24 semen samples were used to compare sperm recovery rates after slow and ultra-rapid sperm freezing. In experiment 2, 18 semen samples were used to compare post-thaw sperm DNA fragmentation levels after each of the cryopreservation techniques. Results In experiment 1, no significant differences were observed in sperm concentration recovery rates, although slow freezing showed a lower progressive motility rate than ultra-rapid freezing (16.6±7.4% vs. 34.7±10.2%), and higher non-progressive and immotile sperm counts (9.0±4.0% vs. 7.6±2.8%; and 74.4±10.1% vs. 57.8±10.3%, respectively). In experiment 2, sperm DNA fragmentation after thawing was significantly higher in slow freezing than in fresh post gradient processing and ultra-rapid freezing samples (47.3±13.4% vs. 9.1±3.7% vs. 14.6±4.6%, respectively). Conclusion Sperm ultra-rapid freezing may be an alternative to slow freezing with better recovery results and less apparent DNA damage.

Abstract: Objective To define the appropriate number of embryos to be transferred at day 5. Methods Retrospective analysis of 784 consecutive fresh day-5 embryo transfers performed between 2007 and 2015, divided in three groups: Group A (N = 219): received the only 2 embryos that reached a transferable stage; Group B (N = 357): received 2 selected embryos among several that reached a transferable stage; Group C (N = 208): received the only 3 developing embryos. Clinical pregnancy, implantation, multiple pregnancy and delivery rates were registered. Kruskal-Wallis and Fisher Exact tests were applied as appropriate. Results Age and previous attempts were comparable in the 3 groups. Compared with Group A, Groups B and C had a higher oocyte recovery (10.7 ± 5.6 vs. 14.7 ± 8.0 vs. 13.8 ± 6.6), fertilization rate (75.97% vs. 81.60% vs. 83.29%) and percentage of embryos reaching a transferable stage on day 5 (39.98% vs. 63.99% vs. 60.97%), as well as a significantly higher clinical pregnancy (42.92% vs. 61.06% vs. 58.17%) and implantation rates (21.09% vs. 40.98% vs. 36.97%). The multiple pregnancy rate was higher in Groups B and C than in Group A (11.70% vs. 31.19% vs. 37.19%). The high order multiple pregnancy rate (> 2) was significantly increased in group C (1.06% vs. 0.92% vs. 14.05%). Conclusions In patients with 3 or more day 5 developing embryos, delivery rates are similar if 2 or 3 embryos are transferred. The transfer of 3 embryos carries an unacceptable increase in the risk of high order multiple pregnancy, with its known consequences. According to our data, we should not exceed the number of 2 day-5 fresh embryos transferred.

Abstract: International audience; Genetic correlations were computed for show jumping competition traits from national estimated breeding values (EBV) of stallions of five countries: Belgium, Denmark, France, Ireland and Sweden. Data involved 24,390 horses, i.e. 8993 stallions with EBV and their ancestors. There were 617 stallions with several EBVs in more than one country. Method involved MACE (Multi-Trait Across Country Evaluation) methodology based on deregressed proofs adapted to the existence of own performance for stallions and to missing EBVs for some ancestors. ASREML was used to estimate covariance with an equivalent multiple trait model described as a random regression model. Within country sire variances were considered as known. The estimated genetic correlations were high (0.86 to 0.88) especially for reliable estimates between Belgium, France, Sweden and between Sweden and Denmark, and relatively high (0.70 to 0.91) for other pairs. These results open perspectives for the international evaluation of sporthorses.

Abstract: OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the use of semi-rigid and flexible catheters in terms of pregnancy rate and level of difficulty of the embryo transfer (ET) procedure. METHODS Seven hundred and thirty-nine consecutive follicular aspirations for IVF or ICSI performed in our private fertility clinic within a 30-month period were randomly divided into two groups. Patients were allocated to either of the groups at the time of follicular retrieval with the aid of a random number generator according to the catheter used in ET: Group 1 (n = 370) - Frydman Classic Catheter 4.5 catheters; and Group 2 (n = 369) - Frydman Ultrasoft 4.5 catheters. Only patients offered ET in the randomized cycle were included (Group 1 = 363 and Group 2 = 340). Patients did not change groups after catheter allocation. Statistical analysis was carried out using an unpaired t-test or a chi square test as appropriate. Differences with P

Abstract: Monoclonal antibodies to tobacco mosaic virus that bind only to one end of the viral rods have been shown to recognize the surface of the protein subunit designated as the bottom, which contains the right radial and left radial α-helices. The specificity of the antibody binding was established by immunoelectron microscopy of complexes in which the 5′ end of the RNA had been exposed at the bottom of the helical virus particle. These antibodies have been shown to bind to both ends of the stacked disk aggregate of TMV protein, which is therefore bipolar. The observations on the bipolarity of this structure are inconsistent with the presumption that stacked disks are formed by aggregation of polar two-layer disks.

Abstract: Muon pair production in the process e+e- → e+e- μ+μ- is studied using the data taken at LEP1 (√s ≃ mz) with the DELPHI detector during the years 1992-1995. The corresponding integrated luminosity is 138.5 pb-1. The QED predictions have been tested over the whole Q2 range accessible at LEP1 (from several GeV2/c4 to several hundred GeV2/c4) by comparing experimental distributions with distributions resulting from Monte Carlo simulations using various generators. Selected events are used to extract the leptonic photon structure function Fγ2. Azimuthal correlations are used to obtain information on additional structure functions, FγA and FγB, which originate from interference terms of the scattering amplitudes. The measured ratios FγA/Fγ2 and FγB/Fγ2 are significantly different from zero and consistent with QED predictions.

Abstract: The study of the directional dependence of two-particle correlations in the hadronic decays of the Z(0) boson is performed using the data collected by the DELPHI experiment in the 1992-1995 running periods. The comparison between the transverse, R-perpendicular to, and longitudinal, R-parallel to, correlation radii confirms the string model prediction that the transverse correlation length is smaller than the longitudinal one, with the measured values of R-perpendicular to = 0.53 +/- 0.08 fm and R-parallel to = 0.85 +/- 0.08 fm, for selected Z(0) –> q (q) over bar events.

Abstract: Oscillations of Bs mesons have been studied in samples selected from about 3.5 million hadronic Z decays detected by DELPHI between 1992 and 1995. One analysis uses events in the exclusive decay channels: (Formula Presented),where the D decays are completely reconstructed. In addition,Bs 0-B̄̄s 0 oscillations have been studied in events with an exclusivelyreconstructed Ds accompanied in the same hemisphere bya high momentum hadron of opposite charge. Combining the two analyses,a limit on the mass difference between the physical Bs states has been obtained: ∆mB0s > 4.0 ps−1 at the 95% C.L. with a sensitivityof ∆mB0s = 3.2 ps−1. Using the latter sample of events,the Bs lifetime has been measured and an upper limit on the decay width difference between the two physical Bs states has been obtained: (Formula Presented) The combination of these results with those obtained using Dsℓ∓ sample gives: ∆mB0s > 4.9 ps−1 at the 95% C.L. with a sensitivityof ∆mB0s = 8.7 ps−1. © Springer-Verlag 2000.

Abstract: The data collected by DELPHI in 1998 at the centre-of-mass energy of 189 GeV have been used to update the search for charginos nearly mass-degenerate with the lightest supersymmetric particle, which is assumed to be the lightest neutralino. Mass differences below Delta M = 3 GeV/c(2) are considered. No excess of events with respect to the Standard Model expectation has been observed, and exclusions in the plane of Delta M versus chargino mass are given. The new Delta M independent lower limit on the mass of the chargino is 62.4 GeV/c(2) in the higgsino scenario (which includes the gaugino mass unification scenario), if all sfermions are heavier than the lightest chargino. In the approximation of large sfermion masses the limit is 59.8 GeV/c(2), independently of the field content. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract: Lifetime and oscillations of B0s mesons have been studied in events with a large transverse momentum lepton and a Ds of opposite electric charge in the same hemisphere, selected from about, 3.6 million hadronic Z0 decays accumulated by DELPHI between 1992 and 1995. The B0s lifetime and the fractional width difference between the two physical B0s states have been found to be: τB0s = (1.42+0.14-0.13(stat.) ± 0.03(syst.)) ps ΔΓB0s/ΓB0s < 0.46 at the 95% C.L. In the latter result it has been assumed that τB0s = τB0d. Using the same sample, a limit on the mass difference between the physical B0s states has been set: ΔmB0s > 7.4 ps-1 at the 95% C.L. with a corresponding sensitivity equal to 8.1 ps-1.

Abstract: Sleptons, neutralinos and charginos were searched for in the context of scenarios where the lightest supersymmetric particle is the gravitino. It was assumed that the stau is the next-to-ligntest supersymmetric particle. Data collected with the DELPHI detector at a centre-of-mass energy near 189 GeV were analysed combining the methods developed in previous searches at lower energies. No evidence for the production of these supersymmetric particles was found. Hence, limits were derived at 95% confidence level.

Abstract: The partial decay width R-c of the Z into c (c) over bar quark pair and the number of charm quarks n(c) per b decay are measured with the DELPHI detector at LEP 1. Particle identification provides clear DO, D+, D-s(+) and Lambda(c)(+) signatures. The charm hadron production rate is measured in each channel by a fit to the scaled energy, impact parameter information and the invariant mass spectrum. Two measurements of R-c are presented, from the D*(+) production rate and from the overall charm counting, including strange charm baryon production, in c (c) over bar events. The multiplicity n(c), which includes hidden c (c) over bar and strange charm baryon production, is inferred from the charm counting in bb events. The final results are R-c = 0.1665 +/- 0.0095 and n(c) = 1.166 +/- 0.086.

Abstract: An update of the searches for charginos and gravitinos is presented, based on a data sample corresponding to the 158 pb(-1) recorded by the DELPHI detector in 1998, at a centre-of-mass energy of 189 GeV. No evidence for a signal was found. The lower mass limits are 4-5 GeV/c(2) higher than those obtained at a centre-of-mass energy of 183 GeV. The (mu, M-2) MSSM domain excluded by combining the chargino searches with neutralino searches at the Z resonance implies a limit on the mass of the lightest neutralino which, for a heavy sneutrino, is constrained to be above 31.0 GeV/c(2) for tan beta greater than or equal to 1.

Abstract: The branching ratio for the leptonic decay of charged B mesons (B- –> tau (-))over bar>(tau)) has been measured using selected leptonic tau (-) –> l(-)nu (tau))over bar>(l) and hadronic tau (-) –> nu X-tau decays in Z –> b (b) over bar decays recorded by DELPHI at LEP1 in 1992-1995. The result, BR(B- –> tau (-))over bar>(tau)) < 1.1 x 10(-3) at the 90% confidence level, is consistent with standard model expectations and puts a constraint on the ratio tan /MH+/- < 0.46 (GeV/c(2))(-1) in the framework of models with two Higgs doublets (type II Higgs doublet model). From the missing energy distribution in Z –> b (b) over bar decays without identified leptons, the b –> tau)over bar>X-tau branching ratio has been measured in the hadronic channel tau –> nu X-tau’. The result, BR(b –> tau)over bar>X-tau) = (2.19 +/- 0.24 (stat) +/- 0.39 (syst))%, is consistent with the Standard Model prediction and with previous experimental measurements.

Abstract: This paper describes a measurement of the Michel parameters, (Formula presented.), and the average (Formula presented.) helicity, (Formula presented.), in τ lepton decays together with the first measurement of the tensor coupling in the weak charged current. The (Formula presented.) pairs were produced at the LEP e+e− collider at CERN from 1992 through 1995 in the DELPHI detector. Assuming lepton universalityin the decays of the τ the measured values of the parameters were: (Formula presented.). The strength of the tensor coupling was measured to be κWτ = −0.029 ± 0.036 ± 0.018. The first error is statistical and the second error is systematic in all cases. The results are consistent with the V −A structure of the weak charged current in decays of the τ lepton. © Springer-Verlag 2000.

Abstract: The partial decay width of the Z to bb̄ quark pairs has been measured by the DELPHI detector at LEP using data taken in the years 1992 to 1995. Decays of b-hadrons were tagged by several methods using tracks with large impact parameters and/or reconstructed secondary vertices, complemented by event shape variables. Combining these methods in a multivariate analysis the value Γ(Z → bb̄)/Γ(Z → had) = 0.21634 ± 0.00067 (stat) ± 0.00060 (syst) was obtained, where the cc̄ production fraction was fixed to its Standard Model value.

Abstract: Neutral Higgs bosons were searched for in the data collected by DELPHI at a centre-of-mass energy of 183 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 54 pb-1. The production of the lightest neutral Higgs boson with either an on-shell Z boson or a neutral pseudo-scalar Higgs boson was analysed. Lower limits at the 95% confidence level were obtained on the Higgs boson masses. The limits are 85.7 GeV/c2 for the Standard Model Higgs boson and 74.4 GeV/c2 for the scalar and 75.3 GeV/c2 for the pseudo-scalar Higgs bosons as predicted by the minimal super-symmetric extension of the Standard Model with commonly used assumptions on the model parameters, plus the assumption that the mass of the pseudo-scalar boson is greater than 20 GeV/c2. These results significantly improve the limits reached with previous data.

Abstract: A measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry of e(+)e(-) –> c (c) over bar and e(+)e(-) –> b (b) over bar on the Z resonance is performed using about 3.5 million hadronic Z decays collected by the DELPHI detector at LEP in the years 1992 to 1995. The heavy quark is tagged by the exclusive reconstruction of several D meson decay modes. The forward-backward asymmetries for c and b quarks at the Z resonance are determined to be: A(FB)(c)(root s = 91.235 GeV) = 0.0659 +/- 0.0094(stat) +/- 0.0035(syst) A(FB)(b)(root s = 91.235 GeV) = 0.0762 +/- 0.0194(stat) +/- 0.0085(syst) A(FB)(c)(root s = 89.434GeV) = -0.0496 +/- 0.0368(stat) +/- 0.0053(syst) A(FB)(b)(root s = 89.434 GeV) = 0.0567 +/- 0.0756(stat) +/- 0.0117(syst) A(FB)(c)(root s = 92.990 GeV) = 0.1180 +/- 0.0318(stat) +/- 0.0062(syst) A(FB)(b)(root s = 92.990 GeV) = 0.0882 +/- 0.0633(stat) +/- 0.0122(syst) The combination of these results leads to an effective electroweak mixing angle of: sin(2) theta(eff)(lept) = 0.2332 +/- 0.0016.

Abstract: An update of the searches for charginos and neutralinos is presented, based on a data sample corresponding to the 53.9 pb(-1) recorded by the DELPHI detector in 1997, at a centre-of-mass energy of 183 GeV. No evidence for a signal was found. The lower mass limits are 4-5 GeV/c(2) higher than those obtained at a centre-of-mass energy of 172 GeV. The (mu M-2) domain excluded by combining the neutralino and chargino searches implies a limit on the mass of the Lightest neutralino which, for a heavy sneutrino, is constrained to be above 29.1 GeV/c(2) for tan beta greater than or equal to 1.

Abstract: The four-jet events collected by DELPHI during the special LEP run at centre-of-mass energies of 130 and 136 GeV in 1997 with an integrated luminosity of 5.9 pb(-1) are analysed. Their rate and the distributions of their di-jet masses, their smallest jet charges, and their di-jet charge separations all agree well with Standard Model predictions. Thus the hypothesis of pair production of a new particle with a sum of di-jet masses around 105 GeV/c(2) is not supported. The combined result of the four LEP collaborations refuting this hypothesis at over 99% confidence level is also given. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: A search for charginos with masses close to the mass of the lightest neutralino is reported, based on the data collected with the DELPHI detector at LEP from 1995 to 1997 at centre-of-mass energies between 130 and 183 GeV. The signature of a photon at high transverse momentum radiated from the initial state reduces the two-photon background to acceptable rates, thus making the mass differences between a few hundred MeV/c(2) and 3 GeV/c(2) detectable. In very nearly degenerate scenarios, the lifetime of the chargino can be large enough to produce either visible secondary vertices or decays outside the detector; therefore, quasi-stable heavy charged particles and displaced decay vertices were also searched for. No excess of events with respect to the Standard Model expectations was observed, and limits in the plane of chargino-neutralino mass difference versus chargino mass-are given.

Abstract: Multiplicity fluctuations in rings around the jet axis and in off-axis canes have been measured by the DELPHI collaboration in e(+)e(-) annihilations into hadrons at LEP energies. The measurements are compared with analytical perturbative QCD calculations for the corresponding multiparton system, using the concept of Local Parton Hadron Duality. Some qualitative features are confirmed by the data but substantial quantitative deviations are observed. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: The data collected with the DELPHI detector at centre-of-mass energies between 130 and 172 GeV, during LEP operation in 1995 and 1996, have been used to determine the hadronic and leptonic cross-sections and leptonic forward-backward asymmetries. In addition, the cross-section ratios and forward-backward asymmetries for flavour-tagged samples of light (uds), c and b quarks have been measured. No significant deviations from the Standard Model expectations are found. The results are interpreted by performing S-matrix fits to these data and to the data collected previously at the energies near the Z(0) resonance peak (85-93 GeV). The results are also interpreted in terms of physics beyond the Standard Model: contact interactions, R-parity violating SUSY particle exchange and of possible Z’ bosons.

Abstract: A search fur events with one jet and at most one isolated lepton used data taken at LEP-2 by the DELPHI detector. These data were accumulated at a center-of-mass energy of 183 GeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 47.7 pb(-1) Production of single scalar and vector leptoquarks was searched for. Limits at 95% confidence level were derived on the masses (ranging from 134GcV/c(2) to 171GeV/c(2) for electromagnetic type couplings) and couplings of the leptoquark rates. A search for top-charm flavour changing neutral currents (e(+)e(-) –> (t) over bar c or charge conjugate) used the semileptonic decay channel. A limit on the flavour changing cross-section via neutral currents was set at 0.55pb (95%: confidence level). (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: Searches for HZ production with the Higgs boson decaying into an invisible final state have been performed with the data collected by the DELPHI experiment up to the centre-of-mass energy of 183 GeV. The hadronic and muon pair final states of the Z boson were analysed. From the absence of signal, upper limits on the cross-section and the corresponding Higgs boson mass limits were set at 95% confidence level. The results are interpreted as excluded parameter regions in the framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model and in the simplest Majoron model with one Higgs doublet and one Higgs singlet field.

Abstract: From data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 53.5 pb(-1) taken during the 183 GeV run in 1997, DELPHI has measured the W mass from direct reconstruction of WW –> lq (q) over bar and WW –> q (q) over bar q (q) over bar events. Combining these channels, a value of m(w) = 80.238 +/- 0.154(stat) +/- 0.035(syst) +/- 0.035(fsi) +/- 0.021 (LEP) GeV/c(2) is obtained, where fsi denotes final state interaction. Combined with the W mass obtained by DELPHI from the WW production cross-section and with the direct measurement at 172 GeV this leads to a measured value of m(w) = 80.270 +/- 0.137(stat) +/- 0.031(syst) +/- 0.030(fsi) +/- 0.021(LEP)GeV/c(2), in good agreement with the Standard Model expectation. The width of the W boson is also measured, giving the value Gamma(W) = 2.48 +/- 0.40(stat) +/- 0.10(syst)GeV/c(2). (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: Infrared and collinear safe event shape distributions and their mean values are determined using the data taken at five different centre of mass energies above M-Z with the DELPHI detector at LEP. From the event shapes, the strong coupling alpha(s) is extracted in O(alpha(s)(2)), NLLA and a combined scheme using hadronisation corrections evaluated with fragmentation model generators as well as using an analytical power ansatz. Comparing these measurements to those obtained at M-Z, the energy dependence (running) of alpha(s) is accessible. The logarithmic energy slope of the inverse strong coupling is measured to be d alpha(s)(-1)/d log(E-cm) = 1.39 +/- 0.34 (stat) +/- 0.17(syst), in good agreement with the QCD expectation of 1.27.

Abstract: An observational prospective cohort study was conducted with a historical control group and 140 infertile women with the laparoscopic diagnosis of ovarian endometrioma over 1 cm diameter. The groups were comparable regarding age, duration of infertility, and disease severity. All patients had a follow-up of 12 months after treatment, and at least one patent tube. The laparoscopic group (group A) consisted of 46 woman, 35 of whom received suppressive treatment with danazol, Gestinone, or leuprolide acetate for 4 to 6 months. In the control group (group B), 94 women underwent diagnostic laparoscopy plus 6 months of danazol or Gestinone therapy. After 3 months, microsurgery by laparotomy was performed. During the follow-up, period 24 pregnancies were achieved in group A (52%) and 58 in group B (61%, chi2 0.796). Fifteen (48%) of 31 women with cysts 1 to 3 cm in group A conceived, as did 52 (62%) of 81 in group B. Nine (60%) of the 15 with cysts over 3 cm in group A, and 7 (58%) of 12 in group B conceived. No significant difference was found among the suppressive drugs in either group. Only 4 (36%) of the 11 women in group A not receiving suppressive treatment became pregnant. No significant difference (p >0.05) was found when comparing the combined treatment group (57%). According to the revised classification of endometriosis, 18 (51%) of 35 pregnancies were achieved in women with moderate disease in group A and 41 (64%) of 64 in group B. In those with severe disease, 6 (55%) of 11 became pregnant in group A and 17 (57%) of 30 in group B. There was no significant difference between the groups when comparing global results, ovarian endometrioma size, medical treatment, and severity of endometriosis. Given comparable surgical expertise, operative laparoscopy should be the procedure of choice in the treatment of ovarian endometrioma whenever possible, due to its recognized advantages.

Abstract: Various oncogenes or epidermal growth factor (EGF) induce transcription of a 1.9-kilobase RNA (transin RNA) in rat fibroblasts. The induction by EGF can be blocked by cycloheximide. Thus the response of the transin gene to EGF appears to require de novo protein synthesis. Transin RNA induction is specific to EGF, as neither insulin, platelet-derived growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, nor transforming growth factor beta could elicit the same response. However, transforming growth factor beta could block the EGF induction of transin RNA. Whereas the calcium ionophore A23187 and the tumor promoter TPA, either alone or administered together, did not increase transin RNA levels, TPA could synergise with a serum factor to effect such an increase. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP also induced transin RNA. Treatment of cells with the microfilament-disrupting agent cytochalasin B, but not the microtubule-disrupting agent colcemid, resulted in an increase in transin RNA levels, suggesting a role for the cytoskeleton in control of transin gene expression. The transin RNA does not contain repeated sequences and appears to be encoded by a single-copy gene. The protein sequence encoded by the last four exons of the transin gene shows some homology to two regions of the heme-binding protein hemopexin.

Abstract: Background: The intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) technique has low efficiency in cattle. This has mainly been attributed to the oocyte activation failure due to oocyte and/or sperm factors., Aim: Our aim was to evaluate the effect of conventional ICSI and Piezo-ICSI with bull or human sperm on bovine oocyte activation and embryo development and to assess its relationship with the phospholipase C zeta (PLCɀ) activity of both species., Methods: In vitro matured bovine oocytes were randomly divided into five groups and were fertilized as follows: conventional ICSI using bovine sperm with chemical activation (control), conventional ICSI using bovine sperm, Piezo-ICSI using bovine sperm, conventional ICSI using human sperm, and Piezo-ICSI using human sperm. PLCɀ activity was determined in bull and human sperm samples., Results: Within the groups using bull sperm, the oocytes fertilized by conventional ICSI had the lowest values of 2 pronuclei (PN) formation and cleavage, Piezo-ICSI increased both percentages and ICSI + chemical activation presented the highest 2 PN, cleavage, and blastocyst rates ( p < 0.05). Within the groups using human sperm, the oocytes fertilized by Piezo-ICSI presented higher 2 PN and cleavage rates than those activated by conventional ICSI ( p < 0.05). Piezo-ICSI with human sperm increased bovine oocyte activation as much as conventional ICSI + chemical activation with bovine sperm ( p < 0.05). Higher values of PLCɀ activity were found in human sperm compared with bovine sperm ( p < 0.05)., Conclusion: Our results suggest that the higher stability of the bovine sperm in combination with its relatively low content of PLCɀ impairs bovine oocyte activation after ICSI., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that there is no conflict of interest concerning this study.

Abstract: Background: Clinical trials enroll patients with specific diseases based on certain pre-defined eligibility criteria. Disease registries are crucial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of new expensive oncology medicines in broad non-trial patient populations., Methods: We provide detailed information on the structure, including variables, and the scientific results from a nation-wide Danish database covering advanced melanoma, illustrating the importance of continuous real-world data registration. Disease status and treatment-related information on all patients with American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th edition stage III or IV melanoma candidates to medical treatment in Denmark are prospectively registered in the Danish Metastatic Melanoma Database (DAMMED)., Results: By January 1st, 2021, DAMMED includes 4156 patients and 7420 treatment regimens. Response rates and survival data from published randomized clinical trial data are compared with real-world efficacy data from DAMMED and presented. Overall, nine independent manuscripts highlighting similarities and discrepancies between real-world and clinical trial results are already reported to date., Conclusion: Nation-wide disease registries take into consideration the complexity of daily clinical practice. We show a concrete example of how disease registries can complement clinical trials' information, improving clinical practice, and support health-related technology assessment., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract: Purpose: To promote nationwide dissemination and implementation of COVID-19 Risk Assessment and Safety Management Operational Guidelines, drawn up by SAMeR Task Force in ART centers in Argentina. Our objective is to prevent and mitigate the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 at an institutional level, while reducing the risk of infection among both physicians and patients in the context of a critical scenario in the local and Latin American healthcare system., Methods: SAMeR Executive Committee set up a crisis committee which was made up of specialists in reproductive medicine, embryology, and healthcare management. A critical and updated review of the advances in science, documents, and recommendations released by other societies (ASRM, ESHRE, IFFS, Red LARA, societies of anesthesiologists, infectious diseases, and Occupational Safety and Health Administration-OSHA) was carried out. Likewise, there were joint meetings with the Ministry of Health of Argentina in order to draw up the guidelines. Simultaneously, ongoing medical training was carried out, thus providing added value to them, including two status surveys of the activities of the monovalent and polyvalent centers according to the country's epidemiological mapping. Four additional recommendations were made, and online training was given to healthcare workers. The aforementioned regulations were first analyzed by the healthcare providers and their practical suggestions were then added to the guidelines., Results: The one-off collaborative work and the actions coordinated with the National ART Program of the Ministry of Health of Argentina resulted in the development and implementation of the present COVID-19 Risk Assessment and Safety Management Operational Guidelines at a national level. SAMeR gave recommendations for the implementation of the Management Guidelines for the center reopening, providing new safety criteria against the threat of viral contagion. A new organizational culture was promoted through the awareness of all the healthcare workers and teaching responsibility. We continue working on the compliance with a new "Code of Conduct and Commitment in Healthcare" and with workplace safety measures. We helped with transforming the theoretical knowledge into practical measures for the healthcare workers in different services, with the aim to prevent, mitigate, and/or handle contingencies at the centers/services and gamete banks, in line with the actions agreed upon with the Ministry of Health., Conclusions: As an extraordinary and uncertain event, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic helped consolidate a volunteer-based and collaborative panel of SAMeR experts who developed the COVID-19 Risk Assessment and Safety Management Operational Guidelines as a new and readily available tool for physicians, patients, and gamete banks care. Their implementation has provided specific guidelines to minimize risk for professionals in ART clinics, as well as guaranteeing patient safety.

Abstract: This review summarizes the current knowledge of radiation-induced nausea and vomiting (RINV), which occurs in ap-proximately 50% of patients undergoing radiotherapy. Poor control of the symptoms may result in dehydration and electrolyte disturbances leading to delay or even disruption of the planned schedule, which in turn results in decreased disease control. Patients report RINV as distressing symp-toms, and under-treatment is a major problem. Evidence-based antiemetic guidelines have been developed, but lack of adherence is a barrier to improvement of symptom control and quality of life during radiotherapy.

Abstract: Nausea and vomiting are a persistent burden on cancer patients undergoing antineoplastic therapy, and adherence to guideline-specific prophylactic therapy is essential to minimise the risk. Nausea is more challenging to prevent than vomiting. This review summarises the choices of relevant drugs. Olanzapine is effective against nausea, but sedation can be a problem. There seems to be no major differences in effect or tolerability between different serotonin receptor antagonists and different neurokinin receptor antagonists. Consequently, the choice of drug should be based on price, risk of interactions and simple administration.

Abstract: Numerous proteins can coalesce into amyloid self-assemblies, which are responsible for a class of diseases called amyloidoses, but which can also fulfill important biological functions and are of great interest for biotechnology. Amyloid aggregation is a complex multi-step process, poorly prone to detailed structural studies. Therefore, small molecules interacting with amyloids are often used as tools to probe the amyloid aggregation pathway and in some cases to treat amyloidoses as they prevent pathogenic protein aggregation. Here, we report on SynAggreg, an in vitro high-throughput (HT) platform dedicated to the precision study of amyloid aggregation and the effect of modulator compounds. SynAggreg relies on an accurate bi-fluorescent amyloid-tracer readout that overcomes some limitations of existing HT methods. It allows addressing diverse aspects of aggregation modulation that are critical for pathomechanistic studies, such as the specificity of compounds toward various amyloids and their effects on aggregation kinetics, as well as the co-assembly propensity of distinct amyloids and the influence of prion-like seeding on self-assembly. Furthermore, SynAggreg is the first HT technology that integrates tailored methodology to systematically identify synergistic compound combinations-an emerging strategy to improve fatal amyloidoses by targeting multiple steps of the aggregation pathway. To this end, we apply analytical combinatorial scores to rank the inhibition efficiency of couples of compounds and to readily detect synergism. Finally, the SynAggreg platform should be suited for the characterization of a broad class of amyloids, whether of interest for drug development purposes, for fundamental research on amyloid functions, or for biotechnological applications., (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract: During decidualization, endometrial stromal cells undergo reticular stress (RS) and unfolded protein response (UPR), allowing the endoplasmic reticulum-expansion and immunomodulators production. Physiological RS generates the activation of sensing proteins, inflammasome activation and mature-IL-1β secretion, associated with pro-implantatory effects. We focus on the impact of RS and UPR on decidualized cells and whether they induce a physiological sterile inflammatory response through IL-1β production. Human endometrial stromal cell line (HESC) after decidualization treatment with MPA + dibutyryl-cAMP (Dec) increased the expression of RS-sensors (ATF6, PERK and IRE1α) and UPR markers (sXBP1 and CHOP) in comparison with Non-dec cells. Then we found increased NLRP3 expression in Dec cells compared with Non-dec cells. In fact STF-083010 (an IRE1α inhibitor) prevented this increase. Downstream, increased levels of active caspase-1 on Dec cells were detected by FAM-Flica Caspase-1 associated with an increase in IL-1β production. Moreover, the treatment with STF-083010 decreased the invasion index observed in Dec cells, evaluated by an in vitro model of implantation. In endometrial biopsies from recurrent spontaneous abortion patients an increased expression of IRE1α was found in comparison with fertile women; while recurrent implantation failure samples showed a lower expression of sXBP1, TXNIP and NLRP3 than fertile women, suggesting that RS/UPR tenors might condition endometrial receptivity.

Abstract: The decidualization process involves phenotype and functional changes on endometrial cells and the modulation of mediators with immunoregulatory properties as the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). We investigate VIP contribution to the decidualization program and to immunoregulation throughout the human embryo implantation process. The decidualization of Human endometrial stromal cell line (HESC) with Medroxyprogesterone-dibutyryl-cAMP increased VIP/VPAC-receptors system. In fact, VIP could induce decidualization increasing differentiation markers (IGFBP1, PRL, KLF13/KLF9 ratio, CXCL12, CXCL8 and CCL2) and allowing Blastocyst-like spheroids (BLS) invasion in an in vitro model of embryo implantation. Focus on the tolerogenic effects, decidualized cells induced a semi-mature profile on maternal dendritic cells; restrained CD4 + cells recruitment while increased regulatory T-cells recruitment. Interestingly, the human blastocyst conditioned media from developmentally impaired embryos diminished the invasion and T-regulatory cells recruitment in these settings. These evidences suggest that VIP contributes to the implantation process inducing decidualization, allowing BLS invasion and favoring a tolerogenic micro-environment., (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

50. Reversible amyloid fiber formation in the N terminus of androgen receptor.

Abstract: Most of the biological effects of androgen hormones are mediated through an intracellular transcription factor, the androgen receptor (AR). This protein presents a long disordered N-terminal domain (NTD), known to aggregates into amyloid fibers.1 This aggregation property is usually associated with the presence of a poly-glutamine tract (polyQ), known to be involved in several pathologies.2 The NTD has gain interest recently because potential anti-prostate-cancer molecules could target this domain.3 Here, we characterize a conserved region of the NTD (distal from polyQ); it promotes the formation of amyloid fibers under mild oxidative conditions. Unlike most fibrils, which are irreversibly aggregated, the free peptides can be restored from the fibril by the addition of a reducing agent., (© 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.)
