Introduction: Assisted reproductive technology is used routinely for treatment of infertile spouses. Previous studies reported conflicting results regarding effect of progesterone rise at the HCG injection day. The aim of current study is to evaluate the effects of mid cycle progesterone levels in IUI cycles. Methods: In this analytical cross-sectional study, the outcome of treatment in 200 IUI cycles were evaluated. Patients’ demographic findings, progesterone level at the day of HCG injection, number of follicles >16 mm, endometrial thickness and clinical pregnancy rate were recorded. For better evaluation, progesterone levels were divided to <0.5, 0.5-1.5 and >1.5 ng/dl. Results: Patients’ mean age was 29.70±4.38 years. The progesterone levels of <0.5, 0.5-1.5 and >1.5 ng/dl was detected in 24.5%, 56% and 19.5% of patients, respectively. The rate of clinical pregnancy was 27.5%. Cases with positive pregnancy had significantly lower progesterone levels (0.88±0.31 vs.1.11±0.80, p=0.04). The highest pregnancy rate was in progesterone levels 0.5-1.5 compared to levels <0.5 and >1.5 ng/dl (42% vs. 12.2% vs. 5.2%, p<0.001). There was no significant correlation between progesterone levels with endometrial thickness (r=-0.130, p=0.06) and number of follicles >16 mm(r=0.02, p=0.77). Conclusion: The results of current study showed that the increase in progesterone levels at the day of HCG injection accompanies with lower pregnancy rate. However, this increase has no correlation with number of mature follicles and endometrial thickness.

Background: There is conflicting evidence regarding the impact of season on the assisted reproductive technology outcome. Objective: To retrospectively compare three year outcome of women undergoing their first intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycle, across seasons. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 3,670 women who underwent their first intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycle in Mehr Medical Institute, Rasht, Iran between April 2010 and May 2014 were studied. Women were divided into four groups according to the day of oocyte retrival as: spring (n = 808), summer (n = 994), autumn (n = 1066), and winter (n = 802). Basal and stimulation charecteristics were compared among groups. Results: While sperm concentration and motility were significantly lower during summer, the total number of retrieved and metaphase II oocytes were significantly higher (p = 0.0001, p = 0.0001, p = 0.004, p = 0.02, respectively). Fertilization rate were significantly higher during autumn (p = 0.0001). Also, the number of high- quality transferred embryos were significantly higher during summer and winter (p = 0.03). A similar pattern was observed in implantation rate and pregnancy over the four seasons Conclusion: Despite the fact that intracytoplasmic sperm injection minimize the seasonal effect on pregnancy outcome, changes in pregnancy rate still occur among different seasons without particular pattern. It seems that performing assisted reproductive technology procedures in a particular season should be considered as an effective factor.

Elderly Living

Background: Vietnam is entering the stage of aging population; as a result, the quality of life (QOL) of the elderly is really a matter of concern. There is a great deal of research on the quality of life of the elderly while Vietnam witnesses a lack of research on this topic, especially on how physical and social activities have impact on QOL of the elderly. Objectives: (1) To describe the situation of participation in physical, social activities and QOL of the elderly residing in Truong An Ward, Hue city. (2) To examine the association between physical, social activities and QOL among participants. Methodology: This study used cross-sectional study design. A total sample of 420 people aged 60 and above in Truong An Ward, Hue city were interviewd. The SF36 was used to measure the QOL of participants. Results: Percentage of the elderly taking part in physical activity were 66%. 49% reported having the habit of taking part in social activities. The majority of the elderly get their QOL level in three health fields, namely physical, mental and general health at above average. (56.0, 60.7 and 60.8 respectively). There were significant associations between physical activities, social activities and QOL among participants. Conclusion: The percentage of the elderly taking part in physical and social activities were still low. Besides, QOL of the elderly at the research location was not really high. It’s important to encourage the elderly taking part in physical and social activities to improve their quality of life. Key words: Physical activities, social activities, QOL, the elderly
