    Notes: Abstract Purpose The purpose of the present study was (i) to assess the value of using a low dose of hMG (75 IU/day) to achieve ovarian stimulation in women who have previously shown an exaggerated response to a standard dose of 150 IU human menopausal gonadotropin/day in a desensitization (group I) or flare-up (group II) protocol and (ii) to determine whether the choice of GnRH-a regimen in a subsequent cycle, namely, a desensitization or flare-up protocol, influenced the effectiveness of the low dose of hMG. Results In group I, 75% (12/16) and 57% (8/14) of the subsequent desensitization and flare-up protocols, respectively, were cancelled because of inadequate ovarian response. Similarly, the cancellation rates in group II were 10 of 10 and 7 of 11 (64%), respectively. The total cancellation rate (groups I and II together) with the desensitization protocol was higher than that using the flare-up protocol (P 〈0.05). Conclusion The simple use of a reduced dose of hMG (75 IU/day) for subsequent in vitro fertilization in women to minimize the risk of the development of ovarian hyperstimulation is of limited benefit since a large proportion then shows an inadequate response. This is particularly pronounced with a subsequent desensitization protocol which does not utilize endogenous gonadotropins to initiate follicular development.

    Notes: Summary A high-performance liquid-chromatographic, column-switching system for automated sample pre-treatment and determination of human epidermal growth factor and its degradation products (hEGFs) is described. The system consists of an immunoaffinity precolumn (4.0×10mm) packed with diol silica immobilized with antibody against hEGF and an analytical ODS column (4.6×250mm). Samples such as cultured media ofE. coli, human urine, milk, seminal fluid and saliva can be directly injected on the immunoaffinity precolumn and the analytes of interest are trapped by the immobilized anti-hEGF antibody. After washing this precolumn with aqueous solvents, the analytes are desorbed with an aqueous solution of low pH and transferred to the analytical column to allow their separation in reversed phase mode. The recoveries of hEGFs spiked in these biological fluids were over 98%. The detection limit was 1 ng for a 1ml sample injection. This method was applied for the determination of hEGF levels in cultured media ofE. coli and biological fluids. Degradation of hEGF in human serum and urine was also examined.
