Technological Innovation of Three Generation IVF in Shanghai
In recent years, Shanghai's scientific and technological development has made important breakthroughs in the medical field, including the innovation of three generations of IVF technology. The third generation IVF technology refers to the technology of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer to help couples who are unable to conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. Next, we will introduce the technological innovation of the third generation IVF in Shanghai from four aspects.
Breakthrough in embryo screening technology
Embryo screening is an important part of the third generation IVF technology, which is used to select healthy embryos for transplantation to reduce the risk of serious genetic diseases. Medical institutions in Shanghai have made important breakthroughs in embryo screening technology. Through genetic testing and cell monomer sequencing technology, we can accurately detect the genetic diseases and abnormal chromosomes of embryos, which provides a reliable basis for couples to select high-quality embryos.
In addition, medical institutions in Shanghai also used non-invasive embryo assessment technology to collect blastocyst related biochemical substances in embryo culture medium and assess the development potential of embryos through testing. This technique not only avoids the damage of cell sampling of embryos, but also improves the implantation rate and pregnancy rate of embryos.
In addition, medical institutions in Shanghai have also carried out the embryo blastocyst culture technology, in which the fertilized eggs are continuously cultured in the incubator until the blastocyst stage, which has become a common clinical technology. This technology can better simulate the natural development environment of embryos in the uterus, and improve the survival rate of embryos and pregnancy rate.
Innovation of frozen embryo preservation technology
Cryopreservation technology is an important part of the third-generation IVF technology, which is used to store surplus healthy embryos in liquid nitrogen for emergencies. Medical institutions in Shanghai have also made innovations in frozen embryo preservation technology.
The traditional frozen embryo technology uses slow freezing method to preserve embryos, which has the problems of embryonic stem cell damage and low survival rate. However, medical institutions in Shanghai have adopted rapid freezing and thawing technology, which can minimize the damage to embryos caused by freezing and improve the survival rate and transfer success rate of embryos by using special freezing solution and rapid cooling method.
In addition, medical institutions in Shanghai have introduced liquid nitrogen protectors, which can realize unattended automatic management and monitor the preservation of frozen embryos. By using special algorithms and precise temperature control, the preservation temperature and state of frozen embryos are always within the optimal range, and the preservation quality of frozen embryos is improved.
Breakthrough in hormone therapy technology
Hormone therapy is an essential part of the third-generation IVF technology, which is used to regulate female hormone levels and promote ovarian development. Medical institutions in Shanghai have also made important breakthroughs in hormone therapy technology.
Traditional hormone therapy requires multiple injections of hormone drugs, which is not only cumbersome but also easy to cause side effects. The medical institutions in Shanghai introduced the micro hormone pump technology. By implanting the micro adjustable hormone pump, the amount and time of hormone input can be accurately controlled, and the number of injections and side effects of patients can be reduced.
In addition, medical institutions in Shanghai have also developed new hormone drugs, which have the characteristics of long-term effect and high efficiency. This hormone drug can continue to work for several days or even weeks after a single injection, reducing patients' discomfort and treatment burden.
Innovation of sperm extraction and processing technology
Sperm extraction and processing is a key step in the third generation IVF technology, which is used to extract and process male sperm to ensure the quality and quantity of sperm. Medical institutions in Shanghai have also made innovations in sperm extraction and processing technology.
The traditional sperm extraction and processing technology needs manual operation, which is inefficient and easily restricted by operating skills. The medical institutions in Shanghai introduced an automated sperm extraction and processing system, which automatically completes the steps of sperm extraction, washing and concentration through machines, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the operation.
In addition, medical institutions in Shanghai have also adopted special sperm vitality restoring agents, which can improve the vitality of inactive sperm, fertilization rate and embryo quality.
Summary
Shanghai's third-generation IVF technology has made important innovations in embryo screening, frozen embryo preservation, hormone therapy, and sperm extraction and processing. These innovations have enabled the third-generation IVF technology to make significant progress in improving embryo quality, improving pregnancy rate and reducing the risk of genetic diseases, which has provided important help for couples unable to conceive naturally to achieve their reproductive aspirations.
