    Navigation problems of ICSI or naive blastocyst can be solved with artificial blastocyst
    (BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2018-01-01) Celik, Onder; Acet, Mustafa; Arpaci, Haldun; Dikbas, Levent; Imren, Aytac; Duran, Bulent; Celik, Nilufer; Celik, Sudenaz; Unlu, Cihat; Sahin, Ibrahim; Aydin, Suleyman
    Embryos have evolved a remarkable capacity to find implantation site. The impressive navigation ability of natural blastocysts may rely on highly sensitive signals arising from embryos and specialized signal processing strategies in the endometrium. Navigation capabilities may be compromised in ICSI embryos because of altered biochemical signaling. The design and delivery of artificial blastocyst (AB) carrying strong chemical signals may allow ICSI embryos to more easily locate to and be retained in the implantation zone. ICSI embryos will attach easily to the implantation zone after it is found by the AB. Co-transfer of the AB together with the ICSI embryo may overcome potential difficulties in implantation due to impaired embryo-maternal communication in cases with implantation failure.

    DHEA supplementation improves endometrial HOXA-10 mRNA expression in poor responders
    (GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2017-01-01) Celik, Onder; Acet, Mustafa; Imren, Aytac; Celik, Nilufer; Ersahin, Aynur; Aktun, Lebriz Hale; Otlu, Baris; Celik, Sudenaz; Caliskan, Eray; Unlu, Cihat
    Objective: The study was planned to investigate whether DHEA supplementation had an impact on endometrial receptivity in women who were poor responders (POR). Material and Methods: Twenty-eight POR women who were undergoing hysteroscopy and five fertile control subjects were included. The POR women were equally subdivided into two separate groups as patients who were currently using DHEA and those who were not. Endometrial samples of the subjects were obtained during hysteroscopy at the late follicular phase. Expression levels of endometrial HOXA-10, HOXA-11, and LIF mRNA were measured with the using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Spontaneous clinical pregnancy rates were also noted. Results: Compared with POR women who were not given DHEA, upregulated endometrial HOXA-10 (7.33-fold) and HOXA-11 (2.39-fold) mRNA expression were detected in POR women on DHEA. The increase in HOXA-10 mRNA was significant (p<0.03). The fold increase in HOXA-11 mRNA was found as 2.39, which indicated a positive upregulation. However, this fold increment was insignificant (p<0.45). An insignificant increase in spontaneous clinical pregnancy rates in POR women on DHEA (53.3\%) was observed compared with POR women who were not given DHEA (43.8\%). Conclusion: Oral DHEA supplementation in POR upregulates endometrial HOXA-10 mRNA expression, which is known to positively modulate endometrial receptivity.

    Testis spectroscopy may predict sperm retrieval rate in men with non-obstructive azoospermia undergoing micro-TESE: A pilot study
    (GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2020-01-01) Celik, Onder; Hatirnaz, Safak; Ersahin, Aynur; Basbug, Alper; Yildirim, Gonca Yetkin; Ozener, Vahit; Gurpinar, Neslihan; Celik, Sudenaz; Celik, Nilufer; Kucuk, Tansu; Unlu, Cihat
    Objective: To investigate whether prior testis magnetic resonance spectroscopy predicts the success or failure of micro-dissection testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE) in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). Material and Methods: Nine men with NOA who were scheduled for micro-TESE for the first time, 9 NOA men with a history of previous micro-TESE and 5 fertile men were enrolled. All NOA patients and fertile controls underwent testis spectroscopy. A multi-voxel spectroscopy sequence was used. Testicular signals of choline (Cho), creatine (Cr), myo-inositol (MI), lactate, and lipids were analyzed quantitatively and compared with the results of the micro-TESEs. Results: The most prominent peaks were Cho and Cr in the fertile controls and NOA subjects with positive sperm retrieval in the micro-TESE. A high Cho peak was detected in 87\% of the NOA men with positive sperm retrieval. NOA men without sperm at the previous micro-TESE showed a marked decrease in Cho and Cr signals. For positive sperm retrieval in micro-TESE, the cut-off value of Cho was 1.46 ppm, the cut-off value of Cr was 1.43 ppm, and the cut-off value of MI was 0.79 ppm. Conclusion: Testis spectroscopy can be used as a non-invasive screening method to predict the success or failure of micro-TESE.
