PG - 72-5 AB - OBJECTIVE: Compare two methods of preparing human unfertilized oocytes interphase nucleus and analyze the relationship between the different in vitro fertilization(IVF) indications, ovarian stimulation protocols, women's age and frequency of chromosome 17 aneuploidy. METHODS: Tarkowski's air-drying method(3:1 methanol:acetic acid) and Coonen's 0.1% Tween 20/0.01 mol/L HCl method were used to fix human unfertilized oocytes interphase nucleus, and telomeric probe of 17qter was used by standard fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH) procedures to confirm chromosome 17qter aneuploidy. RESULTS: Of 36 human unfertilized oocytes, 24 were haploid (66.7%), 7 were disomic (19.44%), 5 were trisomic (13.89%). The overall frequency of aneuploidy was 33.3%. There were no differences between the protocols characterized by different maternal age, IVF indication, ovarian stimulation. CONCLUSION: Tarkowski's air dry method is as good as the method of Coonen's, but the latter method can avoid the smell pollution of the methanol and acetic acid, and it is easy to operate. The chromosome 17 aneuploidy is one of the factors to cause in vitro fertilization failure of human oocytes.
