Scientific Research on the Third Generation IVF in Beijing
Since the birth of IVF technology in the 1970s, after nearly 40 years of development and progress, the third generation IVF technology has been widely applied and deeply studied in Beijing. Next, we will introduce the progress of related scientific research in Beijing from the aspects of genetic diagnosis, in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and implantation, and pregnancy monitoring.
Genetic diagnosis
Genetic diagnosis refers to the early detection of potential genetic abnormalities in embryos through the analysis of genetic materials, and the selection of normal and healthy embryos for transplantation. A Beijing maternity hospital carried out a study to explore a new method combining in vitro fertilization technology and genetic diagnosis. The results show that DNA detection of embryos can greatly improve the implantation rate of embryos and reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy.
In addition, Beijing Children's Hospital has introduced whole genome sequencing technology into the third generation IVF technology. Through a comprehensive examination of embryonic DNA, more risks of genetic diseases can be found and couples can make more intelligent reproductive choices.
In addition to embryonic genetic diagnosis, Beijing Hospital has also carried out research around pre pregnancy gene screening. Through gene testing of couples, we can know their genome information in advance, so as to predict the risk of potential genetic diseases at an early stage. This study provides an important basis for couples to make reproductive decisions before IVF.
In vitro fertilization technology
A hospital in Beijing has conducted in-depth research on IVF technology, especially focusing on optimizing the success rate of IVF. Through the improvement of the culture medium and the screening of high-quality embryos, the success rate of IVF in the hospital has been significantly improved. Their research found that in the early stage of IVF, the survival and development of embryos can be improved by properly adjusting the pH value and osmotic pressure of the culture medium.
In addition, Beijing Hospital also used extracellular blastocyst technology for research. By culturing embryos in extracellular blastocysts, we can simulate the natural uterine environment and provide a more suitable growth environment. The technology has been initially applied, but further research and verification are needed.
In addition to the above technologies, Beijing Hospital has also carried out research on frozen embryos in the field of in vitro fertilization. They found that for some embryos that are not suitable for immediate transfer, cryopreservation can improve the survival rate and survival rate of embryos.
Embryo culture and implantation technology
Beijing Hospital has carried out a series of studies on embryo culture and implantation technology. They improved the culture conditions, used appropriate culture media and culture bins, and improved the quality and adaptability of embryonic development.
In addition, Beijing Hospital has also studied the technology of multiple embryo implantation. Research shows that implantation of multiple embryos into the uterus can improve the success rate, but also increase the risk of multiple pregnancies. The hospital helps couples make more accurate implantation decisions and reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy by screening and monitoring multiple embryos.
Recently, Beijing Hospital also introduced the technology of amniocentesis for gene detection of embryos. This technology can detect potential genetic diseases in advance by collecting amniotic fluid for gene analysis before embryo implantation, thus improving the implantation rate and survival rate of embryos.
Pregnancy monitoring
Pregnancy monitoring is one of the important links of IVF, and has also been widely concerned and studied in Beijing. The Beijing Hospital uses ultrasonic technology to monitor the early fetal heartbeat, to detect fetal abnormalities in advance and make corresponding treatment.
In addition, the Beijing Hospital also conducts health monitoring during pregnancy through blood testing and urine analysis. They found that by detecting specific indicators in the blood and urine of pregnant women, potential complications during pregnancy can be detected as soon as possible, and the health status of pregnant women and fetuses can be improved.
In general, Beijing has made remarkable progress in scientific research on the third generation of IVF. Genetic diagnosis, in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and implantation, and pregnancy monitoring have all been deeply studied and applied in practice. These research results provide couples with better reproductive selection and pregnancy monitoring programs, and provide strong support for the further development and promotion of IVF technology.
