PURPOSE: To evaluate the concordance between polarization microscopy and confocal microscopy techniques in the evaluation of the meiotic spindle of human oocytes matured in vivo. METHODS: Prospective study that evaluated oocytes with the first polar extruded body obtained from infertile women who had undergone ovarian stimulation for intracytoplasmic sperm injection. The oocytes with the first polar extruded body were evaluated by polarization microscopy and were then immediately fixed and stained for microtubule and chromatin evaluation by high-performance confocal microscopy. We determined the correlation of polarization microscopy with confocal microscopy in the detection of meiotic oocyte anomalies, and we also evaluated the percentage of oocytes with a visible and non-visible cell spindle by polarization microscopy and with meiotic normality and abnormalities by confocal microscopy. Confidence intervals, Kappa's index and concordance between the methodologies were calculated, considering immunofluorescence microscopy analysis as the golden-standard for evaluating normal spindle and oocyte chromosome distribution. RESULTS: We observed that 72.7% of metaphase II oocytes with a nonvisible meiotic spindle by polarization microscopy showed no meiotic abnormalities by confocal analysis and 55.6% of metaphase II oocytes with a visible meiotic spindle by polarization microscopy were found to be abnormal oocytes by the confocal analysis. Only 44.4% of oocytes with a visible meiotic spindle by polarization microscopy were found to be normal by confocal analysis. Concordance between the methods was 51.1% (Kappa: 0.11; 95%CI -0.0958 - 0.319). CONCLUSIONS: The low correlation between polarization microscopy and confocal microscopy in the assessment of oocyte meiotic spindle suggests that visualization of the meiotic spindle of human oocytes at metaphase II by polarization microscopy is not a good indicator of oocyte meiotic normality.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the nuclear maturation stage and the presence of meiotic spindles of in vivo matured oocytes from infertile women undergoing stimulated cycles for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and compare intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcomes between oocytes in telophase I (TI) and metaphase II (MII), and the ones with and without visible meiotic spindle. METHODS: A prospective and controlled study with 106 infertile patients who underwent ovarian stimulation for intracytoplasmic sperm injection purposes. Patients aged 38 years or less, with basal follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) less than 10 mIU/mL and body mass index (BMI) less than 30 kg/m². Were included patients presenting any systemic diseases, any active infection, smokers or patients who had been using hormonal medications and hormonal and nonhormonal anti-inflammatory drugs for the past two months prior to the assisted reproduction procedure were excluded. The oocytes with the first polar body extruded (in vivo matured oocytes) were imaged by polarization microscopy immediately before intracytoplasmic sperm injection and characterized according to nuclear maturation stage (telophase I and metaphase II) and to the presence of a meiotic spindle. We analyzed the fertilization rates, cleavage, number of good quality embryos on the second day (D2) from oocytes on telophase I versus those in metaphase II, and metaphase II visible spindle versus non-visible ones. Data were analyzed comparatively by Fisher's exact test. The level of significance was set at 5% in all analyses (p<0.05). RESULTS: The meiotic spindles of 516 oocytes were imaged using polarization microscopy. From the 516 oocytes analyzed, seventeen were in telophase I (3.3%) and 499 (96.7%) in metaphase II. The oocytes injected in telophase I had significantly lower fertilization rates than those injected in metaphase II (53 and 78%, respectively) and produced no good quality embryos on day 2. When the oocytes with and without a visible meiotic spindle were compared, there was no significant difference in the intracytoplasmic sperm injection results. CONCLUSIONS: Oocytes injected in telophase I showed lower fertilization rates when compared to those in metaphase II. It is possible that the analysis of oocyte nuclear maturation by polarization microscopy can be used as a predictor of fertilization after intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
