The aim of this study was to evaluate the applicability of ovum pick-up equipment for follicular fluid collection from various follicular structures (experiment 1) and for recovery of follicular fluid for acid-base balance analysis (experiment 2). An ultrasound scanner equipped with a 5-MHz convex transducer was used for transvaginal ultrasound-guided follicular aspiration. A 17-gauge, 60-cm aspiration needle was connected with a shortened aspiration line. The fluid was aspirated manually into a 2 ml plastic syringe at a speed of approximately 0.2 ml/s. The success of aspiration was higher in ovarian cysts (100%) and single follicles larger than 13 mm (76.7%) compared to single follicles smaller than 12 mm (20%,p< 0.001). The success of aspiration of multiple follicles on day 4 (diameter of 7–9 mm) was higher (90.9%) compared to follicles on day 2 (diameter of 4-6 mm) (66.7%,p< 0.05) in experiment 1. The fluid from ovarian cysts > 25 mm in diameter was aspirated in a two-step procedure (samples 1 and 2) for the determination of pH, HCO3,BE, pCO2and pO2(experiment 2). The indicators were compared between samples 1 and 2. Higher pO2as well as pH and lower pCO2in sample 1 compared to sample 2 showed insufficient anaerobic conditions during the first phase of the puncture in experiment 2. Our study brings for the first time the finding that the ovum pick-up equipment used in our experiments is suitable for the collection of follicular fluid only from larger follicular structures. The sampling of follicular fluid for acid-base balance assays requires the development of a special new device to prevent samples from coming into contact with air during aspiration.

Abstract Objectives It is not clearly known whether some benign (simple) ovarian cysts can convert into cancerous cysts. Size of cyst and wall abnormalities do predict the potentiality of malignancy. Not many studies have been done to explore the malignant potential of large-sized (> 5 cm) unilocular ovarian cysts without wall abnormalities. This study evaluated the correlation between ultrasonographic size of benign ovarian cysts and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA-125) levels. Methodology Sixty (60) premenopausal women were recruited for the study preoperatively, based on transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) findings present in the case record sheet received along with the CA-125 sample in the biochemistry laboratories. Those cases with elevated CA-125 levels were selected, where patients had unilocular ovarian cysts without wall abnormalities. CA-125 was done using ECLIA methodology (Cobas e411, Germany). Statistical correlation was calculated between the ovarian cyst size and CA-125 levels using Spearman’s Rho coefficient. Results Mean age group of subjects were 29.7 ± 7.3 years and mean value of CA-125 (normal < 35 IU/mL) was found to be increased: 118.0 ± 147.1 IU/mL so was the mean diameter of cysts (cut off ≤ 5 cm): 48.6 ± 59.8 cm. No correlation was found between CA-125 levels and volume of ovarian cyst (r = 0.005, p = 0.680) for all subjects. Conclusions The lack of correlation between size of ovarian cysts and CA-125 levels provides a hint that the ovarian cyst epithelium does not directly express CA-125 and it may come from sites like the fallopian tube. Thus, raised level of CA-125 in benign ovarian cyst should be followed-up more closely, demanding assessment of fallopian tubes for early diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Also, algorithms can be explored to include size of ovarian cyst and CA 125 levels to predict ovarian cancer.
