Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the influence of the day 3 embryo cell number on the neonatal outcomes of day 5 single blastocyst transfer in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles.
Methods: This retrospective study analysed a total of 2315 delivery cycles of day 5 single blastocyst transfer in FET cycles, including 489, 761 and 1103 live-born infants segregated according to a day 3 embryo cell number of <8, 8 and >8 cells, respectively. The neonatal outcomes of the three groups were compared.
Results: The day 3 embryo cell number did not significantly affect the incidence of monozygotic twins. The sex ratio increased as the day 3 embryo cell number increased, but the difference was not statistically significant. There were no significant differences in the rates of preterm birth or low birth weight among the three groups. The rates of stillbirths and neonatal deaths were also not significantly different among the three groups. Moreover, the day 3 embryo cell number did not increase the risk of birth defects in newborns.
Conclusions: The day 3 embryo cell number did not significantly affect neonatal outcomes.

Objectives: To investigate the impact of prenatal fear stress on placental amino acid transport and emotion and cognition development in offspring rats.
Methods: Thirty pregnant Wistar rats were randomized equally into control and fear stress (induced using an observational foot shock model) groups. In each group, placental and serum samples were collected from 6 dams on gestational day 20, and the remaining rats delivered naturally and the offspring rats were raised under the same conditions until 8 weeks of age.

Purpose: Prior studies in fresh embryo transfer IVF cycles have associated elevated serum progesterone level on day of ovulatory trigger, particularly if ≥ 1.5 ng/ml, with decreased pregnancy rates. A similar association has been found in intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles using gonadotropins for ovulation induction.

Purpose: As the number of frozen-thawed embryo tryansfer cycles with Hormonal Replacement Therapy increases, the issue of the optimal progesterone level to ensure maximal success rates becomes critical. In this study, we aimed to determine the respective relevance of the 3 recently reported progesterone thresholds using an original statistical method.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study was conducted in a University-based Hospital in France in all consecutive single frozen thawed blastocyst transfers (SFBT) performed with HRT protocol in 2021.

Shitou goose (STE) and Wuzong goose (WZE) are both characteristic goose breeds in Guangdong, China. Their growth cycle is similar, but there are huge differences in body size. One of the reasons for the difference in body size is the individual muscle mass, which is determined by myofiber development.

Background: Phthalates are compounds used as plasticizers to increase the flexibility of plastics and are considered endocrine disruptors. Some studies suggest that the origin of prostate cancer (PCa) may be associated with disturbances during embryo-fetal development. Previous data showed that perinatal exposure to the same phthalate mixture (PM) used here increased the incidence of adenocarcinomas in the prostates of aged rats.
